The visual system, in particular, develops rapidly over the first few weeks. As early as nine minutes after birth, babies prefer to look at photographs and pictures that most resemble the human face. Newborns can see color, and a one-month-old can tell red from green. At 12 weeks old, babies show preferences for colored things as opposed to white ones.In addition to looking at themselves, babies are attracted to high contrast visuals, colorful objects, and faces. The same holds true for babies, who also are drawn to looking at animals, shiny objects, and familiar items that are part of their world.Its no surprise, then, that an art museum is a rich source of visual inspiration for babies. Introducing babies to works of art promotes early neuron（神经元）connections in the brain. And for the verbal study, interacting with an adult in naming images and describing different characteristics in a work of art lays the groundwork for visual and language development.Free Baby ToursWatch your child respond to large colorful paintings and learn ways to promote early visual skills. Join us for a lively and free 30-minute Baby Tour. Parents and caregivers with babies up to 18 months are welcome. Meet at the TMA Family Center on any of these Fridays:January 15, 3:30 p.m.February 19, 6 p.m.March 18, 3:30 p.m.April 15, 6 p.m.May 20, 3:30 p.m.June 17, 6 p.m.One child per adult.Parking is free for members, $5 for nonmembers.1、A one-day baby may prefer to look at pictures of _.Abig animals Bhuman facesCcolorful leaves Dwhite walls2、What is the benefit for babies when they enjoy works of art?ALearning the history of the museum.BLearning how to master skills on art.CKnowing how to love their parents.DLaying the basis for language development.3、Whats the main purpose of the text?ATo attract people to join in this baby activity.BTo show how to develop babies interest in art.CTo help parents know more about art.DTo promote babies early visual skills.22（8分） Many youths want to lean how to drive cars. This year one sixth of undergraduates in Beijing have registered at driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or imitational trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.Training costs have dropped to 4, 500 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver s permit has become another factor (因素).“In the job market, owning a drivers permit sometimes strengthens a graduating students competitiveness for a good position,” says Li Hua, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and law.Cars will become a necessary part of many peoples lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working peoples time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of oppurtunity to learn,” says another undergraduate at the university.Wu Dong, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.From March 1, 2018, to get a drivers permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours practice before the final road test.1、Why do the undergraduates learn to drive?AThey are the students from special subject or course.BThey like to drive cars very much.CThey want y become full time drivers after graduation.DThey need this skill to find a good job in the future.2、What is Wu Dongs opinion of students learning to drive?AIt would make the life more interesting.BYouths would have an advantage in learning to drive.CIt is a waste of money and time to learn to drive.DIt would be better to learn it at college than at work.3、To get the permit, the student _.Arequires some time to practice before the final road testBmust pay more money before the final road testCmust practice more to learn to drive when having a jobDrequires to learn some more other subjects to drive23（8分）Tipping isnt a big part of British culture, unlike in North America, where waiters and waitresses are paid below minimum wage. Tips are usually appreciated, but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.In casual restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is uncommon. You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, its customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added to the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you dont need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before payingif so you dont need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. Youre not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to trip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.Be sure to check a countrys tipping culture before you start your tip.

Why cant a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts.These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things - living cells, tissue, and even organs.Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999，when a research group at North Carolinas Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organsfrom kidneys to ears.The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patients body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patients own cells and will not be rejected by the bodys immune system.Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atalas medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals chances of survival.1、In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?ADonated cells, tissues and organs.BRejected cells, tissues and organs.CCells, tissues and organs of ones own.DCells, tissues and organs made of steel.2、What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?APatientsBRatsCSheepDSoldiers3、Why is generative medicine considered innovative?AIt will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.BIt will strengthen the human bodys immune system.CIt will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.DIt will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.4、What is the writers attitude towards regenerative medicine？APositive.BNegative.CDoubtful.DReserved.25（10分） A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.The cost of producing a newfor exampletoothpaste would make 80 p the proper price for it, so we will market it at 1. 20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to l. 15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5 p OFF all over it.Sometimes it is not 5 p OFF but l p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise l p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult（侮辱）, but he doesnt. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder（or whatever）and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.The real danger starts when unnecessary things become “bargains”
