13、 A French-language daily in Belgium has issued what is thought to be Europe’s first 3D newspaper. But you must read it with a pair of special glasses.

14、For Iris Grace Halmshaw, the world was a lonely place. The autistic (自闭症的) five-year-old girl tried to speak, and she was often thrown into pain by the world around her. She filled her days with painting, and nothing could quite change this situation. Until, that was, a cat called Thula came along.
The pair are now inseparable (形影不离的). Iris’ parents believe the gentle cat is helping their little girl communicate with others, as well as influencing her works of art. In the beginning, they thought it was justcoincidence, but now they believe Iris is expressing her love for Thula through her painting. Mother said, “When Iris is painting, Thula is told by her to “sit down” if she jumps up onto the table. She stays there, watching Iris with great interest, sometimes wanting to play with the brushes, but mostly just patiently watching.”
And the pair’s bond (联系) doesn’t end there. Thula is at Iris’ side for every part of her life.

Alti Achenture in Africa
It was late at night, but Kevin could not sleep． His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals． His parents slept soundly in another bed across from him． He wondered how they could be so calm． What if a lion came into their tent? He was very frightened． It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep．

When the sun came up, he felt his mother's hand on his head． "Morning, Kcvin！" she said, "Time to wake up and go on that a safari．" Before they left America, his parents had explained to him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in Africa． During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free, instead of cooped up (限制) in a zoo．
"What if we get close to a lion?" Kevin asked．
"Oh darling," she said． "Nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide． "
Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the birds singing outside and began to feel less afraid． After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents． The driver, Jim, a kind-looking man, was also their guide．
The jeep took off along a dirt road． After a little while Kevin saw something move out of the corner of his eye． "Wait!" he said． "I see something！"
Jim stopped the car and told them all to get out． Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around． After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air． "Shhh," he said in a low voice． "It's nothing dangerous but don't speak loudly．" Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots (点) and a very, very long neck — a giraffe．
"Wow," said Kevin． He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe． All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come．

18、“Earworms”, some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.
To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites（寄生虫）, living in a part of our minds.
If you have got a earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory.
Human have an “inner ear”, for remembering phone numbers, for instance.
When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.
Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous “don’t think of a white bear” problem, which tell you to try not to think about white bears or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to “shut up” is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
