• 1．Forget Cyclists，Pedestrians Are Real Danger We are having a debate about this topic．Here are some letters from our readers．
     ■Yes，many cyclists behave dangerously．Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists．But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders．
     People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone，quite unaware of what is going on around them．They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere．The rest of us have to evade （避讓） them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision．
     The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be，at least for the moment，in worlds of their own that are，to them，much more important than the welfare of others．
  -Michael Horan ■I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists （Viewpoints，Jan 29）．I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads．
     I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me．
     The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used．
     The police do nothing．What a laugh they are!
     The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets，fluorescent（發(fā)熒光的）jackets and lights at night and in the morning．They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them．
  -Carol Harvey ■Cyclists jump on and off pavements（which are meant for pedestrians），ride at speed along the pavements，and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red．
     I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him．
     Other road users，including horse riders，manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists？
     It's about time they had to be registered and insured，so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle，or cause an accident，at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim．
  -JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper．
  
  （1）Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that

  ．
  A．drivers should be polite to cyclists
  B．road accidents can actually be avoided
  C．some pedestrians are a threat to road safety
  D．walking while using phones hurts one's eyes
  （2）What is a complaint of JML？

  
  A．Very few drivers are insured．
  B．Cyclists ride fast on pavements．
  C．Pedestrians go through red traffic lights．
  D．Horse riders disrespect other road users．

  ．
  A．real sources of road dangers

• 2．The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter，so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota，F(xiàn)lorida，my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine"．I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C（維生素C），thinking of beaches and orange trees．When we touched down to blue skies and warm air，I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness．Swimming pools，wine tasting，and pink sunsets （at normal evening hours，not 4 in the afternoon） filled the weekend，but the best part - particularly to my taste，dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables - was a 7 a．m．a(chǎn)dventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call．
     The market，which was founded in 1979，sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a．m．to 1 p．m．，rain or shine，along North Lemon and State streets．Baskets of perfect red strawberries；the red-painted sides of the Java Drawing coffee truck；and most of all，the tomatoes：amazing，large，soft and round red tomatoes．
     Disappointed by many a broken，vine-ripened promise，I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years．No matter how attractive they look in the store，once I get them home they're unfailingly dry，hard，and tasteless．But I homed Grove Farm's stand，full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist．These were the real deal and at that moment，I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months．
     Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight，my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty，a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton，where - luckily for me - I was planning to have dinner that very night．
     Without even seeing the menu，I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it．
  
  （1）What did the author think of her winter life in New York？

  
  A．Exciting．
  B．Boring．
  C．Relaxing．
  D．Annoying．
  （2）What made the author's getting up early worthwhile？

  
  A．Having a swim．
  B．Breathing in fresh air．
  C．Walking in the morning sun．
  D．Visiting a local farmers' market．
  （3）What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter？

  
  A．They are soft．
  B．They look nice．
  C．They taste great．
  D．They are juicy．
  （4）What was the author going to do that evening？

  
  A．Go to a farm．
  B．Check into a hotel．
  C．Eat in a restaurant．
  D．Buy fresh vegetables．

• 3．As more and more people speak the global language of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing．In fact，half of the 6，000-7，000 languages spoken around the world today will be likely to die out by the next century，according the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）．
     In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations - UNESCO and National Geographic among them - have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect．
     Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following inthat tradition．His recently published book，A Grammar of Thangmi and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working，and raising a family in a village in Nepal．
     Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China．But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．
     At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials - including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes - which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection．
     Now，through the two organizations that he has founded - the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project - Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to schools but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．
  
  （1）Many scholars are making efforts to

  ．
  A．promote global languages
  B．rescue disappearing languages
  C．search for languages communities
  D．set up language research organizations
  （2）What does "that tradition" in Paragraph 3 refer to

  ．
  A．having detailed records of the languages
  B．writing books on language users
  C．telling stories about language speakers
  D．living with the native speakers
  （3）What is Turin's book based on？

  
  A．The cultural studies in India．
  B．The documents available at Yale．
  C．His language research in Bhutan．
  D．His personal experience in Nepal．
  （4）Which of the following best describes Turin's work？

  
  A．Write，sell and donate．
  B．Record，repair and reward．
  C．Collect，protect and reconnect．
  D．Design，experiment and report．

• 4．Despite the anxiety that Jones' Host - said by some to be the first digital novel - caused in 1993，publishers weren't too concerned that e-books would one day replace printed books．
     However，that attitude was changed suddenly in 2007 when Amazon's Kindle came onto the market，which led to e-book sales jumping up to 1，260%．Since then，e-books' popularity has continued to rise steadily．The publishing industry seemed to have lost all possible ability to regain its position．Will printed books eventually become a thing of the past？
     According to Mike Shatzkin，founder and CEO of the Idea Logical Company，printed books just for plain old reading will，in 10 years from now，be unusual． "Not so unusual that a kid will say，'Mommy，what's that？' but unusual enough that on the train you'll see one or two people reading something printed，while everyone else is reading off of a tablet．" And Shatzkin believes that thedemise of print is sure to happen，though such a day won't arrive for perhaps 50 to 100 or more years．
     Robert Stein，founder of the Institute for the Future of the Book，however，believes that books won't disappear entirely，at least not anytime soon． "Print will exist，but it will be in a different field and will appeal to a very limited audience，as poetry does today．Like woodblock printing，hand-processed film and folk weaving（編織），printed pages may assume an artistic value，" he says．He imagines that future forms of books might be developed not by traditional publishers but by the gaming industry．He also predicts that the distinction between writer and reader will be made less obvious by a social reading experience in which authors and consumers can digitally interact with each other to discuss any passage，sentence or line．
     Is there anything we risk sacrificing，should print really disappear entirely？According to Maryanne Wolf，director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University，electronic reading can negatively affect the way the brain responds to text，including reading comprehension，focus and the ability to maintain attention to details like plot and order of events． "My worry is that we'll have a short-circuited reading brain，excellent for gathering information but not necessarily for forming critical，analytical deep reading skills，" Wolf says．
     The field，however，is in an early stage，and findings about the negative effects of e-reading are far from certain．In light of this，Wolf hopes that we continue to maintain a "bi-literate" society - one that values both the digital and printed word． "A full reading brain circuit is a huge contribution to the intellectual development of our species．Anything that threatens it deserves our attention．"
  
  （1）How did publishers feel about the rising e-book sales inspired by the Kindle？

  
  A．Worried．
  B．Excited．
  C．Curious．
  D．Skeptical．
  （2）The underlined word "demise" in Paragraph 2 probably means

  ．
  A．rise
  B．death
  C．growth
  D．popularity
  （3）According to Robert Stein，paper books will exist because of

  ．
  A．the artistic value
  B．the digital interaction
  C．the growing popularity
  D．the traditional design
  （4）It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that Wolf holds that

  ．
  A．e-reading will strengthen the power of our brain
  B．digital books and paper books should not co-exist
  C．e-reading will make us more critical and thoughtful
  D．we should not risk losing a full reading brain circuit

• 5．The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward，the risk seems worth taking． （1）

  Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us．Why？Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work．
     The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans．
     Risk-takers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring． （2）

  As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next，humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk．
     So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then？Well，even 200，000 years ago，too much risk-taking could get one killed．A few daring survived，though，along with a few stay-in-the-cave types．As a result，humans developed a range of character types that still exit today．So maybe you love car racing or maybe you hate it． （3）

  
     No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range，scientist say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years．（4）

  To help you do that，your brain increases your hunger for new experiences．New experiences often mean taking some risks，so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well．
     （5）

  For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active，while for the rest of us，a part of the brain related to fear becomes active．
     As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking，we'll continue to hit the mountains，the waves or the shallow end of the pool．
  
  A．It all depends on your character．
  B．Those are the risks you should jump to take．
  C．Being better at those things means a greater chance of survival．
  D．Thus，these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest．
  E．This is when you start to move out of your family and into the bigger world．
  F．However，we are not all using the same reference standard to weight risks and rewards．
  G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation．
