However, he found that he could learn the language by giving tourists free tours around his hometown ofHangzhou—something that he did during his teenage years every morning for nine years. He found everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents, which opened his mind.4.

BDo you look like your name? Scientists say there’s a good chance you do.This comes from a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Researchers fromIsrael found that our given names may carry social stereotypes(成见), which can be seen in our facial appearance.Lead author Yonat Zwebner of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, along with her team, carried out eight separate studies involving hundreds of participants in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can accurately guess a person’s name based only on a headshot and what is behind this matching effect.During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of people’s faces and guess each person’s name froma list of four choices. The participants correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent rate of a random one-in-four guess.What’s more, the students were able to best match the faces to the names when the faces they looked at came from within their own culture. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.Researchers believe it is possible that people change theirappearance without being aware of it, to match social norms(规范)carried by their names. One study in particular backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by individuals easily, was enough to guide people in accurately guessing their names.The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their child.【语篇概述】“人如其名”是中国的一句老话, 而近期科学家的一项研究表明,名字或许真的能改变人的容貌。

人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练5.【Unit2Period1】及答案解析Ⅰ.阅读理解APoetry is one of the important art forms of literature,and is an easy way to express your feelings.Moreover, everyone understands it in their own way.Some find relief in poems;some read them simply for peace;some read poems for simple artistic pleasure.There are some special features of poetry,which make it quite different from other forms of literature.First of all,poems have rhythmic patterns.Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm.Poems may have rhyme,but they don’t have to.The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion.There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form,there are mainly three types:Lyrics(抒情诗):The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story.Lyrics always bear song-like appeal.These are mainly short poems.Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy(挽歌),theode(颂歌)and the sonnet(十四行诗).William Shakespeare,Edmund Waller and Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.Narrative poems:This type of poetry tells a story.Narrative poems are usually long poems.Epics(史诗)and ballads fall under this type.Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton,Dante,Edgar Allan Poe,Alexander Pope, William Shakespeare,etc.Dramatic poems:Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem.These poems generally tell a story. Black verse,dramatic monologues and closet drama belong to this type.William Shakespeare,Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the great dramatic poets.Whatever the form is,one thing,which cannot be denied,is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings.【语篇概述】本文主要讲了诗歌的一些特点以及诗歌的几个类别。

人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练： 一 Unit 1 Period 1 (含答案)
课后阅读训练一Unit 1 Period 1Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWatercolor is the oldest paints known. It dates backto the early cave men who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures onthe walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.Fresco(壁画), one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. It is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥). Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo’s heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.The invention of oil painting by the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches(草图)or as a tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have a widely-known love for outdoor and also small private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until thetwentieth century. The United States passed England as the center for watercolor, producing such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了水彩画的发展历程。

One of the most famouspainting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte—1884”. The work examples is Georges Seurat’sdescribes a park populated by people relaxing under trees and taking part in other relaxing activities.In the 1880s, Seurat and Paul Signac developed pointillism. It was first called “divisionism”. The name “pointillism”is an accepted term was developed only later, and was intended to laugh at this style. Today “pointillism”to refer to paintings similar towith no derisive connotations(嘲弄之意). Some people still use the term “divisionism”pointillism, but this term is more exactly used to highlight the technical color theory that is employed in many suchpaintings.In a typical pointillist painting, you might see bright colors. In fact, these bright colors are combined by tiny dotsof yellow, red and blue. By using the combination of dots of primary colors, painters can create the illusion(错觉)thatthey are using many more colors than they are. The viewer’s eyes and brain could be amazed by this kind of illus Pictures in magazines and newspapers are printed in a method similar to pointillism. Additionally, electronicscreens like TVs use a similar technique. Screens display dots of red, blue and green, and our eyes and brains combinethese collections of dots as detailed color images.Learning about pointillism is interesting not only from the view of art history. The masters of pointillism createdoutstanding masterpieces using this technique. Children can learn about and practice pointillism in order to gethands-on experience that can help them to understand color mixing and the principles of vision that make it possible.Because so many of our modern technologies rely on similar ideas to create the images we see around us.【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了绘画艺术中的点描画法这种艺术风格, 它主要是利用圆点做出令人惊奇的绘画效果。
【精选】人教新目标高中英语选修六课后阅读训练： 四 Unit 1 Period 4 Word版含答案
课后阅读训练四Unit 1Period 4Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺)no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built, ” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old days.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do abetter job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precise cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.【语篇概述】本文是议论文。

人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练10.【Unit 3 Period 2】及答案解析
人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练10.【Unit 3 Period 2】及答案解析Ⅰ. 阅读理解AChina now has 380 million smokers, accounting for one-third of the world total. Chinese smokers now becomeaddicted to nicotine at the age of 19, five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1997.Of the 1. 1 billion smokers all over the world, more than 800 million are in developingcountries. And as the world’s largest developing country, China also has the largest number ofsmokers.Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are. Of the 380 million addic ts, more than 100 million are under the age of 18, while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad effect on the young generation. Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is right and follow their examples. It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unless measures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate schools as non-smoking zones.What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke. They are aware of the results of the habit, such as high blood pressure and lung cancer. Their examples only help justify the addiction of so many others.If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in public places, it would be much easier to drive home the notion that it is uncivilized to smoke in public places.In China, there also should be a national law to ban smoking in public places. These would make a massive contribution to cutting the number of people in China who are smoking themselves into an early grave.【语篇概述】全文探讨了中国烟民的现状, 并提出应该采取措施帮助人们改掉这个毛病。
