举一反三
The 2-year-old cat was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia (痴呆) unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, where the facility treats people with Alzheimer"s, Parkinson"s disease and other illnesses. After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He"d smell and observe patients, then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours. Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously. "This is not a cat that"s friendly to people," he said.
"Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here," said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill. She was convinced of Oscar"s talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn"t eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color, signs that often mean death is near. Oscar wouldn"t stay inside the room, though, so Teno thought bis streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctor"s prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patient"s final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.
Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably don"t know he"s there, so patients aren"t aware he"s a predictor of death. Most families are grateful for the advance warning, although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure.
No one"s certain if Oscar"s behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him. Nursing home staff aren"t concerned with explaining Oscar, so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying. The staff recently gave Oscar a wall sign publicly praising his "sympathetic care."

Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual does not necessarily make people smarter. But researcher Ellen Bialystok says it probably does make you better at certain skills.
Ellen Bialystok said, “Imagine driving down the highway. There’re many things that could capture your attention and you really need to be able to monitor all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?”
And the answer, she says, is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention — a function called the executive control system.
Ms. Bialystok is a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors. The person has to ignore the word but say the color. The problem is that the words are all names of colors.
Ellen Bialystok said, “So you would have the word blue written in red, but you have to say red. But blue is so salient(显著的), it’s just lighting up all these circuits(电路) in your brain, and you really want to say blue. So you need a mechanism(机制) to override that so that you can say red. That’s the executive control system.”
Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to suppress(抑制) one to be able to speak in the other.
This mental exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
小题1:What’s the best title of the text?
A.Bilingual People, Smarter |
B.Monolingual People, Smarter |
C.Bilingual People, Longer Lives |
D.Bilingual People, Better at Some Skills |

A.white | B.yellow | C.blue | D.red |
A.People who can speak only Chinese. |
B.People who can speak only Japanese. |
C.People who can speak more than one language. |
D.People who can speak only English. |
A.A bilingual child is better at separating a word from its meaning. |
B.A bilingual child can more easily make friends with a foreign child. |
C.Bilingual people are more able to monitor several things at the same time. |
D.It’s not possible for bilingual people to develop Alzheimer’s disease. |
"Where is my wealth?" the young man asked 17 .
"It is with you. Your 18 is (are) your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the 19 things in this world. You can read, study and learn. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your 20 are your wealth. You can go to any places..." the fortune teller said.
"You call these wealth? Everyone has them," the young man said.
"These are wealth. What you have now are not what others can luckily have. Are you 21 to give your eyes to me? I am willing to give you a lot of money to 22 for them," the fortune teller said.
"No, are you crazy? I am not going to exchange my eyes for money! They are 23 to me!" the young man 24 .
"Precisely, these are wealth to you. You will not exchange them for money. Furthermore, although a lot of people have their wealthy things, they do not 25 them or treasure them. They are not 26 to Heaven for giving them their wealth. They even complain that Heaven is unfair to them. Do you want to 27 one of them before you will treasure them?" the fortune teller said.
Everyone is wealthy. But we should not 28 it for granted. We need to treasure our wealth, take care of it and use it 29 . We should not overuse it because once it is 30 , it is gone forever. Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose.

A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn"t want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (运球) and shooting more. It"s just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don"t take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I"m just one kid playing the game.

My heart sank and my mind was 31 with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my 32 saying: "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really 33 .She" 11 never forget it."
The accident had occurred in my own driveway.Holly had crashed my truck into our other car. Holly was not 34 physically but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: " Oh, Dad, I’m sorry.I know how much you love this truck." I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend 35 by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the whole 36 .Her eyes moistened(润湿) and she said: "That happened to me when I was a girl.I 37 my dad" s car and ran into a log that had fallen 38 the road.I ruined the car.When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.
Over 40 years later, she still felt the 39 of the night.It was a deep wound on her 40 .
I remember how 41 Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I 42 her.One day, when Holly thinks 43 in the future, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than anything else.
I repaired the car, but the dent(凹陷)in my truck is 44 there today.Every day it reminds me of what really 45 in my life.
