11、Cell phones Believe it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century. The first commercial(商业的)cell phones system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have been developed into small and light palm-sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions, too. We have had cell forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands free use for years, but now there are countless new uses, such as instant access to the internet and receiving and sending photos. Cell phones have become very common in our lives: recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now have a cell phone, and most of them say they can t live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business. They have made it easier to call for help on the highway. They have made it possible to keep in touch with people on the move when people are traveling Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments. We can use cell phones to let our family know we' ll be late or if there's a change of plan or an emergency(紧急情况). Cell phones have eased the worries of millions of parents when their teenagers are out late, and they can now contact their children at any time. This does not mean that cell phones are all good news. They have brought with them a number of new headaches for their owners: it costs a lot to replace stolen phones, something that is becoming a frequent occurrence, and have you ever seen such huge phone bills? More serious, however, is the potential health problem they bring: there are fears that radiation from the phones may cause brain tumor(肿瘤). This may be a time bomb waiting to happen to younger people who have grown up with cell phones that they simply can' t live without.

17、Cell phones Believe it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century. The first commercial(商业的)cell phones system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have been developed into small and light palm-sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions, too. We have had cell forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands free use for years, but now there are countless new uses, such as instant access to the internet and receiving and sending photos. Cell phones have become very common in our lives: recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now have a cell phone, and most of them say they can t live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business.

21、Lakes, Too, Feel Global Warming There s no doubt: In the last few decades, the average temperature on Earth has been higher than it' s been in hundreds of years. Around the world, people are starting to measure the effects of global warming and trying to figure out what to do about it. Scientists recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world, and they found that lakes are heating up. Between 1985 and 2009, satellites recorded the nighttime temperatures of the surfaces of 167 lakes. During those 24 years, the lakes got warmer- by an average of about 0.045 degree Celsius per year. In some places, lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate, a lake may warm by a full degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, in just 10 years. That difference may seem small--you might not even notice it in your bathtub. But in a lake, slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae, and algae can make the lake poisonous to fish. The study shows that in some regions, lakes are warming faster than the air around them. This is important because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how the Earth is warming. By using lake temperatures as well, scientists can get a better picture of global warming. The scientists say data on lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world. That' s going to be useful, since no country is too big or too small to ignore climate change. Scientists aren' t the only ones concerned. Everyone who lives on Earth is going to be affected by the rapid warming of the planet. Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it, especially by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases we put into the air. That s why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC.

31、In sports, red is the winning color When opponents of a game are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win, according to a new study. British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham reached that conclusion by studying the outcomes of one-on-one boxing, toe kwon do, Greeo-Roman-wresting, and freestyle-wrestling matches at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. In each event Olympic staff randomly assigned red or blue clothing or body protection to competitors. When otherwise equally matched with their opponent in fitness and skill, athletes wearing red were more likely to win the bout. “Where there was a large point difference -presumably because one contestant was far superior to the other- color had no effect on the outcome, ”Barton said.“ Where there was a small point difference, the effect of color was sufficient to tip the balance.” In equally matched bouts, the preponderance of red wins was great enough that it could not be attributed to chance,the anthropologists say. Hill and Barton found similar results in a review of the colors worn at the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament. Their report will be published in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature. Joanna Setchell, a primate researcher at the University of Cambridge in England, has found similar results in nature. Her work with the large African monkeys known as mandrills shows that red coloration gives males an advantage when it comes to mating. The finding that red also has an advantage in human sporting events does not surprise her, adding that the idea of “the study is very clever.” Hill and Barton got the idea for their study out of a mutual interest in the evolution of sexual signals in primates-"red seems to be the color, across species, that signals male dominance and testosterone levels, Barton said. For example, studies by Setchell, the Cambridge primate researcher, show that dominant male mandrills have increased red coloration in their faces and rumps. Another study by other scientists shows that red plastic rings experimentally placed on the legs of male zebra finches increase the birds' dominance. Barton said he and Hill speculated that there might be a similar effect in humans. And if so, it could be apparent in sporting contests. The pair says their results indicate that sexual selection may have influenced the evolution of humans response to color. Setchell, the primatologist, agrees. “As Hill and Barton say, humans redden when we are angry and pale when we＇re scared. These are very important signals to other individuals, she said. The advantage of red may be intuitively known，judging from the prevalence of red uniforms in sports- though it is clearly not very widely appreciated, on a conscious level at least.” Barton said She adds that the finding of red's advantage might have implications for regulations that govern sporting attire. In the Olympic matches he surveyed for the new study, for example, it is possible some medal winners may have reached the pedestal with an unintended advantage. That is the implication, though we cannot say that it made the difference in any one specific case, Barton said. Meanwhile, Setehell noted- tongue-in-cheek- that a red advantage may not be limited to sports. Going by the recent U.S.A. election results, red is indeed quite successful, she said. (TS)Both Hill and Barton wanted to find out if color affects the outcome of sports matched. Q：Both hill and Barton wanted to find out if color affects the。 outcomes of sports matches. 单选题 1分

Another study by other scientists shows that red plastic rings experimentally placed on the legs of male zebra finches increase the birds' dominance. Barton said he and Hill speculated that there might be a similar effect in humans. And if so, it could be apparent in sporting contests. The pair says their results indicate that sexual selection may have influenced the evolution of humans response to color. Setchell, the primatologist, agrees. “As Hill and Barton say, humans redden when we are angry and pale when we＇re scared. These are very important signals to other individuals, she said. The advantage of red may be intuitively known，judging from the prevalence of red uniforms in sports- though it is clearly not very widely appreciated, on a conscious level at least.” Barton said She adds that the finding of red's advantage might have implications for regulations that govern sporting attire. In the Olympic matches he surveyed for the new study, for example, it is possible some medal winners may have reached the pedestal with an unintended advantage. That is the implication, though we cannot say that it made the difference in any one specific case, Barton said.

33、In sports, red is the winning color When opponents of a game are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win, according to a new study. British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham reached that conclusion by studying the outcomes of one-on-one boxing, toe kwon do, Greeo-Roman-wresting, and freestyle-wrestling matches at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. In each event Olympic staff randomly assigned red or blue clothing or body protection to competitors. When otherwise equally matched with their opponent in fitness and skill, athletes wearing red were more likely to win the bout. “Where there was a large point difference -presumably because one contestant was far superior to the other- color had no effect on the outcome, ”Barton said.“ Where there was a small point difference, the effect of color was sufficient to tip the balance.” In equally matched bouts, the preponderance of red wins was great enough that it could not be attributed to chance,the anthropologists say. Hill and Barton found similar results in a review of the colors worn at the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament. Their report will be published in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature. Joanna Setchell, a primate researcher at the University of Cambridge in England, has found similar results in nature.

41、Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century. Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes. World Cup-winning football heroes. Muhammad Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world. But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany. Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in. Rudolph always said, You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you' d walk around town with. So they started making their own. In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletic shoes with spikes(钉), produced on the Dasslers' kitchen table. On Ist July 1924 they formed a shoe company, Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years. The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany' s athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games. But in 1948 the brothers argued. No one knows exactly what happened, but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women. The result was that Adolph left the company. His nickname was Adi, and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas. Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too. At first he wanted to call it Ruda，but eventually he called it Puma, after the wild cat. The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since. After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years, Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called"My Adidas and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company. The terrible family argument should really be forgotten, but ever since it happened, over sixty years ago. the town has been split into two.

60、The Writings on the Wall? Is it art or is it just vandalism(野蛮行为)? Well, it's still a crime, but graffiti（涂鸦） has changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory. Street art has become much more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his tag", TAKI 183, all over the New York underground in 1971, and hip-hop culture was born. Hip-hop is a mixture of art, music and dancing, poetry, language and fashion. It came from young inner-city people who fell left out by their richer classmates and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could. An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale, Creater Manchester, has been so successful that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June. We're planning to get people together from different countries like France and Germany for a week," says Liam, one of the organizers. The scheme started in 2000，and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes."We all share a common interest and get on really well with each other. The first site to be chosen was a subway."Before we began, people were afraid to use the subway. We had it cleaned up and now, with all the artists hanging out down there, people are using it again. People can relate to graffiti much more now. By providing places to display their talents legally, there has been a fall in the amount of “tagging” on peoples private property.
