Some Myths You Strongly Keep Believing Are Untrue

There are varieties of false myths we spread from day to day.1.. Otherwise, people will continue to believe such ridiculous myths undoubtedly. You will realize some of the most acceptable facts are completely untrue.

Men get beer bellies from beer.

We blame the beer for the belly. It is widely believed that men who constantly drink beer end up with a beer belly. However, it is not the beer that’s to blame, but the abundance of unhealthy snacks that often accompany the drink. Alcohol in beer irritates the stomach, therefore causing an increased appetite. Dr. Michael Jensen, an obesity specialist in Minnesota USA says that drinking beer makes liver burn alcohol instead of fat, leaving the latter to accumulate in the waist.2., while the one of women’s  accumulates in the hips and  bottoms, as a result of different sexual characteristics.

3..

We are told that dogs see the world in black and white. But the truth is that they can distinguish colors just not in the same way we do. Jay Needs from the University of Washington in Seattle proves that our furry friends are able to receive a limited range of colors, which means they can distinguish objects of the same shape. In general, a dog’s vision is very similar to that of a person with red-green color blindness.

Carrots improve eyesight.

4.. This myth came into existence during the Second World War. The British Army claimed that fighter pilots had excellent night vision as a result of their consumption of large quantities of carrots. Actually, they had radars onboard which made it faster and easier to detect the enemies. The myth about the amazing power of carrots was invented and spread by the media so that enemies would not learn about the fact.5..

A.Dogs can distinguish colors

B.Men’s fat is stored in their bellies

C.Dogs see the world in black and white

D.Men’s fat is not mostly accumulated in these parts

E.Eventually, it spread all over the world and people are still convinced of it

F.We agree with the view that eating carrots plays an essential part in good vision

G.It is high time that scientists created a separate department dedicated to exposing the truth

    A new device works like a solar panelexcept that it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.

A prototype(原型)of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power  electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.

The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the otherthe generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an  aluminum plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At nightthe top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.

Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in StanfordCalifornia. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diodeor LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do thatthe system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.

The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devicessays Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of CaliforniaLos Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that don’t see sunlight for months at a timeRaman says. “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darknessthis might be a way. ”

1.What can we know about the new device?

A.It gains energy from the sun. B.It’s been widely used in life.

C.It is cooler than a solar panel. D.It’ll be popular in special areas.

2.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?

A.Application fields of the device.

B.The developing process of the device.

C.The working principle of the device.

D.Significant effects of the device.

3.How can the device produce more electricity?

A.By putting more insulation around the top plate.

B.By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.

C.By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.

D.By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.

4.What could be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity

B.A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night

C.The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device

D.The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

    Baseball developed gradually from a number of different ball-and-stick games originating in England. As early as the American Revolution, it was noted that troops played “base ball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbocker’ version of the game.

The “New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban-industrial society. At its beginning it was played by and for wealthy gentlemen. A club might consist of 40 members. The president would appoint two captains who would choose teams from among the members. Games were played on Monday and Thursday afternoons, with the losers often providing an expensive evening’s entertainment for the winners.

During the 1850-1870 period the game was changing, however, with increasing commercialism, under-the-table payments to outstanding players, and gambling(赌博) on the outcome of games. Beginning with the first openly all-salaried team (Cincinnati’s Red Stocking Club) in 1869, the 1870-1890 period saw the complete professionalization of baseball, including formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Players in 1871. The National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs was formed in 1876, run by business-minded investors in joint-stock company(股份公司) clubs. The 1880s has been called Major League Baseball’s “Golden Age”. Profits rocketed, players’ salaries rose somewhat, a season of 84 games became one of 132, a weekly periodical “The sporting News” came into being, wooden stadiums replaced open fields, and the standard refreshment became hot dogs, soda pop and peanuts. In 1900 the Western League based in the growing cities of the Midwest declared itself the American League.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A.The original rules of baseball.

B.The commercialization of baseball.

C.The influence of the “New York Game” on baseball.

D.The development of baseball in the nineteenth century.

2.What can we learn about the “New York Game” at its beginning?

A.The game was played twice a week.

B.A baseball team might consist of 40 members.

C.The winners would get rewarded by the president.

D.The president would choose teams from among the member.

3.What do we know about the baseball game during the 1850-1870 period?

A.The game became completely professional.

B.People bet on the result of games.

C.The game came into a “Golden Age”.

D.Most baseball players got extra incomes.

4.During the 1880s, the baseball games _____.

A.were played in wooden stadiums

B.were reported by a daily sporting newspaper

    When the young donkey Daisy May came to us, she was pregnant. With no donkey experience , I was unprepared for what might come next.

After some difficulty, Daisy's baby was born. I thought the poor thing was dead. I planned to put the loss behind us and make sure she never got pregnant again. Just then, I heard a little noise. I couldn't believe that baby was breathing and looking at me! We called him Samson, and of course I became his mother as much as Daisy was.

When Samson was nine months old, I had to separate Daisy and Samson for a few hours a day to wean (使断奶)him, but otherwise he went wherever she did. I think she would be lost without him. His donkey stepdad Bernard taught him to always be ready to have fun. They enjoy playing football together and going for a roll on a hot summer day.

I asked a worker to make a harness (马具)for my three little donkeys. When I brought it home I taught them one by one how to pull a cart. Samson watched and freely followed Daisy. When he was three, I put the harness on him and he knew exactly what to do.

That was 15 years ago. Now, the most exciting thing about Samson is that he has become a little renowned. People come from all over to see him perform. The neighbors bring their grandchildren, and my sons bring their friends.

Samson shakes hands, unties my shoe, picks up a hat and more. And when I ask him if he has any bad habits, he tries to pick my pocket! He surprisingly learned these tricks himself. I just ask him to do them and he understands.

The relationship I have with my "baby" Samson has been an amazing experience. Every day is a fun day with this superstar donkey.

1.Why was the author at a loss for what might happen next at first?

A.She wasn't ready to be a mother.

B.She never raised a donkey before.

2.What can we learn about Samson when he was little?

A.He was surrounded by love.

B.He was separated from his family.

C.He was unwelcome to the neighbors.

D.He was skilled in entertaining people.

3.What does the underlined word “renowned” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A.strange. B.proud. C.humorous. D.famous.

4.Which of the following can best describe Samson?

A.friendly and courageous. B.intelligent and lively.

C.carefree and creative. D.patient and fortunate.
