26、What would it be like to walk on Mars? If you could build the highest building in the world，what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J. K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.

A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e­mails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet，you can go back 11,000 years in time，or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”

There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What's the background of the place; what's the history？” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”

Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting any new Web site.

Navigate the world in 3­D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom (快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef.

With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers.

27、Color permeates(渗透)all aspects of our lives．It shapes how we sense the world，and benefits our health and mind．

【1】．color has a significant impact on our lives．For starters，it can make us less violent.

Being comforted—and confident

When you need some comforting and confidence，orange is what you need.

“It combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow，”said Sara Petitt，a scientist at the Fashion Institute of Technology．

He called orange the happiest color，and described it as“red brought nearer to humanity by yellow．” 【2】．That is the power of orange．

Removing fear

Most human cultures dislike the color of black．Experts argue that we need black to make our wardrobes radiate sophistication but also to overcome our fears．

“In the dark，our visual sense vanishes．【3】 ．We rely on our visual system to help protect us from harm，”said Antony，a psychology professor．But black is not as dark as we think．French artist Renoir called black the queen of all colors．

The color of your body—and love

Red is our color．Our bodies produce 2 million red blood cells every single second．We need the color red because it has a powerful effect on our brains．Scientific studies have found that the color makes us stronger，more alert，more competitive．

【4】，many of us get red in the face from increased blood flow．

Red can also make us appear more attractive to one another，which is why red lipstick is on billions of lips．

Keeping you healthy and calm

28、Whether you plan to travel to España sometime soon, or just want to take a virtual vacation, here are some of Barcelona and Madrid’s most intriguing spiritual spots.

La Sagrada Familia

No trip to Barcelona is complete without gazing at Antoni Gaudi’s crowning achievement: La Sagrada Familia. The church is expected to be completed in 2026, exactly 100 years after the architect’s death.

Once finished, it will be the tallest church in Europe at 566 feet, slightly shorter than the nearby mountain of Montjuïc, as Gaudi believed no man-made structure should be greater than God’s creation.

Clergy-baked Treats

At Monasterio Del Corpus Christi in Madrid, ring a bell labeled “monjas” and you can place your order for cookies baked by cloistered nuns (隐居的修女). Leave payment on a turntable and a box of sweets will appear as if by magic.

Holy Toledo!

About half an hour outside of Madrid is the ancient city of Toledo, known as the “City of Three Cultures,” because of its historical significance to the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.

Toledo’s old town is set on a hill. The winding, uphill, cobblestone streets-lined with shops selling swords and knives-will transport you to medieval times.

Barri Gòtic

Perhaps Barcelona’s most mysterious section is its Gothic Quarter, Barri Gòtic. Simply getting lost in its winding streets is worth exploring, with hidden shops, artwork of saints, and lovely lampposts at every turn. On Carrer del Bisbe, you’ll find one of Barri Gòtic’s most photographed sites-Bishop’s Bridge. Under the passageway is a skull and dagger design that has many legends attached to it.

29、Turtles have an unfortunate habit of eating plastic objects floating in the sea. These then cannot be digested, and may ultimately kill them. It is widely assumed that this fondness for plastics is a matter of mistaken identity. Floating plastic bags, for instance, look similar to jellyfish (水母), which many types of turtles love to eat. Yet lots of plastic objects that end up inside turtles have no similarity to jellyfish. Joseph Pfaller of the University of Florida therefore suspects that the smell of marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) which grow oil floating plastic objects fools turtles into feeding.

Researchers at the University of California noticed that certain chemicals, which are released into the air by floating plastics, are those which many seabirds sniff (嗅) to track down food. These chemicals mark good places to limit because they indicate plenty of the algae (海藻) and bacteria. The researchers also found that birds which pursue their food in this way are five or six times more likely to eat plastic than those which do not.

Since turtles are known to break the surface and sniff the air when finding the way to their feeding areas, Dr. Pfaller indicated that they are following these same chemicals, and are likewise fooled into thinking that floating plastic objects are edible.

To test that idea, he and his colleagues set up an experiment. They arranged for 15 turtles, each around five month old, to be exposed, in random order, to four smells: the vapor from deionised water (去离子水); the smell of turtle-feeding meals; the smell of a clean plastic bottle; and the smell of a bottle that had been kept in the ocean for five weeks to allow algae and bacteria to grow on it. Two of the smells — the smell of meals and that of five-week-old bottles proved far more attractive to the animals than the others.

On the face of it, the turtles were responding to the smell of old bottles as if it were the smell of food. Actually, in an unpolluted ocean, anything which had this smell would indeed be edible — or, at least, harmless. However, unfortunately, five-week-old plastic bottles and their like are not.

【1】Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that turtles ________.

A．mistake plastic objects for jellyfish

B．are fooled into eating plastics by a smell

C．are dying out as a result of plastic pollution

D．break down plastics without much difficulty

【2】What can we infer from the research on seabirds?

A．Seabirds eat plastics for the taste.

B．The algae and bacteria grow well on plastics.

C．Seabirds prefer being fed with jellyfish like turtles.

D．Some seabirds pursue food in a similar way to turtles.

【3】What does the underlined word “edible” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Fit to eat.

B．Pleasant to smell.

C．Far to reach.

D．Easy to digest.

【4】What is the function of the last paragraph?

A．To explain why the ocean is polluted.

B．To show his agreement on the research findings.

C．To arouse the awareness of protecting the ocean.

D．To call on people to feed the turtles with proper food.

30、Left out of society: Vanuatu’s deaf community push for national sign language

Tasale Edward Bule, a 45-year-old fisher from Vanuatu’s Efate island, remembers the day the world went silent. “I woke up one morning and remember not hearing the birds sing, or the rooster crow,” Bule says. “I asked everyone to call my name to see if I would hear them – it was then I realised I had _________the hearing in both my ears.” The illness that took his hearing has never been clearly explained to Bule by a doctor. But at 14, and with no _________sign language or disability support, he left school, despite dreaming of one day becoming a pilot or an engineer.

Bule’s story would be _________ much of the deaf community in the Pacific country of Vanuatu. With no national sign language, most people have to_______their own ways to communicate. Some use signs they’ve developed with their families and communities, but then _________to communicate outside this group. Others, like Bule, rely largely on lip-reading to _________.

Disability advocates say this leaves the deaf community unable to participate fully in society. The group are also more _________during natural disasters, frequent in Vanuatu. Thus people are seeking to create an official language in the hope of _________life for the hard of hearing community in the Pacific nation.

_________, the government hopes to fix this too. It is currently developing a national sign language, to be called Storian wetem han, or “using hands to communicate”.

The initiative, which is funded by the Global Partnership for Education and the World Bank, has seen __________travel the country collecting signs from deaf people, and filming deaf people signing different words, which will be __________to a sign language dictionary software program and turned into a national sign language.

Once developed, Vanuatu would join Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa and Solomon Islands as Pacific nations with a national sign language, though at present Papua New Guinea is the only country where its sign language, Auslan-PNG Sign, is an officially __________national language.

The government hopes that Storian wetem han will be able to be __________fully across the country in 2024.

For now though, Arthur Simrai, a field officer for the Vanuatu Society for People Living with DisabilitySimrai, says that many of those living with hearing loss don’t __________sign language on the rare occasions that they see it. “Most of the people who can’t hear, they don’t know the sign language on the screen,” he said. “They have their own sign at home … with their family to signal or communicate what they want … but not everyone in the community know.”

If Vanuatu is able to make a __________of its national sign language, Simrai says, it would make an enormous difference to the lives of people who are deaf across the country.
