The pyramids f Giza(吉萨金字塔) have been timeless(永恒的) symbls f Egyptian culture. But wh actually built them? Fr years, we did nt knw fr sure. But recently an ancient village was discvered near the pyramids. Clse by, there was a cemetery(墓地) where pyramid builders were buried. Frm studying these places, archelgists are nw certain that the pyramids were nt built by slaves r freigners (r aliens!). Instead, rdinary Egyptians built them.
It tk abut eighty years t build the pyramids. Accrding t archelgists, abut 20,000 t 30,000 peple tk part in the task. The wrkers had different rles. Sme were respnsible fr digging up the rcks that were t be used. Others were tasked with mving them, while anther grup was given the jb f shaping them int blcks. Peple als wrked n different teams, each with its wn name. These teams wuld ften cmpete against each ther t d a jb faster.
Life fr these wrkers was hard. “We can see that in their skeletns,” says Azza Mhamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist wh has been studying the bdies that were fund in the cemetery. The bnes shw signs f arthritis (关节炎), which prbably develped as a result f having t carry heavy things fr a lng time. Archelgists have als fund many female skeletns in the cemetery. The damage t their bnes is similar t that f the men. Their lives may have been even tugher. Male wrkers wuld n average live t be between the ages f 40 and 45, but wmen wuld nly live t be between the ages f 30 and 35. Hwever, wrkers usually had enugh fd, and they als had gd medical care when they gt sick r hurt.
The wrk was hard, but the labrers were prud f their wrk. On a wall in Khufu’s Great Pyramid, fr example, a grup f wrkers wrte Friends f Khufu. “It’s because they were nt just building the tmb f their king,” says Egyptian archelgist Zahi Hawass. “They were building Egypt. It was a natinal prject, and everyne was a participant.”

Why can’t yu remember being a baby? Will that trip t Dreamwrld be wasted n yur tddler (学步的幼儿)? Scientists explain hw the brain changes frm infancy (婴儿期) thrugh t early childhd, and what this means fr yur child’s memries.
While sme peple can remember memries frm as early as age tw, as adults mst f us rarely remember things that happen t us befre the age f three, due t a phenmenn called “infantile amnesia (婴儿健忘症)”. Generally, we tend t have vague (模糊的) memries f events that ccur between the ages f three and seven.
S why is it that we can’t remember being a baby, r a tddler? The answer lies in the way that ur brain’s ability t stre memries changes as we grw. At birth, a baby’s brain is nly a quarter f its adult size, grwing t three-quarters the size f an adult brain by age tw. This increase crrelates with a grwth in the number f brain cells—called neurns (神经元)一and the cnnectins between these cells.
A part f the brain that is imprtant in frming memries is the hippcampus (海马体), says Dr Dhanisha Jhaveri, a researcher at the Queensland Brain Institute at The University f Queensland. “In the hippcampus, new neurns are cnstantly being created. In adulthd, new cells are still being prduced, but the rate f prductin in the hippcampus slws dwn,” says Dr Jhaveri.
Neurscientists believe that the rapid rate at which brain cells are being prduced in childhd culd be the cause f infantile amnesia. Because s many new neurns are being prduced and frm cnnectins with each ther in memry circuits (记忆电路), they might disturb existing netwrks f memries that have already frmed.
But it turns ut that a child’s ability t remember things fr lng perids f time imprves gradually thrughut childhd. Fr example, in studies in which yung kids were taught t imitate an actin, six-mnth-lds culd remember what t d fr 24 (but nt 48) hurs, while nine-mnth-lds culd remember what t d ne mnth (but nt three mnths) later.
Despite this memry lss, childhd experiences have been fund t influence adult behaviur years later, which suggests that traces f these memries culd be stred smewhere in the brain that isn’t easy t access.
S while yur kids might nt recall their majr milestnes r be t yung t remember a trip t Disneyland, psitive experiences as tddlers r in infancy may cntinue t affect their behaviur lng after they’ve frgtten them.
8．What can be inferred frm paragraph 3?
A．Our brain’s ability t stre memries remains unchanged as we grw.
B．The size f the child’s brain by age tw is twice the size at birth.
C．The grwth in the number f neurns will influence the size f the child’s brain.
D．Neurns have nthing t d with a persn’s memry.
9．What is the cause f infantile amnesia accrding t the neurscientists?
A．The rapid rate f brain cells being prduced.
B．The existing netwrks f memries.
C．The way f ur brain string memries.
D．The memry circuits f ur brain.
10．What is paragraph 6 mainly abut?
A．Childhd experiences will influence adult behaviur years later.
B．Traces f these memries culd be stred smewhere in the brain.
C．A child’s ability t remember things imprves gradually ver time.
D．The yunger a baby is, the better its memry is.
11．What is the authr’s attitude twards the influence f childhd experiences n adult behaviur years later?
A．Subjective.B．Objective.C．Pessimistic.D．Uncaring.

Sprtsmen in the running races f the Olympics are great athletes, but even the slw runners f the running wrld —jggers in the park —have gd health. A study ut this week in the Jurnal f the American Cllege f Cardilgy finds that even 5 t 10 minutes a day f slw running is enugh t extend life by several years, cmpared with nt running at all.
The new study fcused n a grup f mre than 55, 000 men and wmen aged 18 t 100. Abut a quarter f them were runners. Over 15 years, thse wh ran just 50 minutes a week r fewer at a slw speed were less likely t die frm either cardivascular(心血管的)disease r ther causes, cmpared with thse wh didn’t run at all.
The study suggests relatively lw effrts are necessary t benefit frm jgging, but it can be better t exercise mre ften. “A little bit is gd but a little mre is prbably better,” says Dr. Aarn Baggish. A 2013 study in Denmark suggested that the secret f maximum lngevity is up t 2. 5 hurs f running a week.
Althugh running can make yu less likely t have cardivascular disease, it desn’t entirely take the risk away frm yu. “There is n questin that the healthier yu are and the mre exercise yu d, the lnger yu’ll live and the better yur quality f life will be,” Dr. Baggish says. “But it desn’t mean yu’ll never get sick.”
“Many lng-term runners d nt run because they want t live lnger,” Dr. Baggish ntes. “They run because it makes them feel better every day.”
Fr these runners, the cst f feeling gd can be injuries, s Dr. Baggish supprts the value f what he calls “active rest.” His belief, nt supprted by any recent research, is that it’s a gd idea t spend 25% f exercise time ver the curse f a year running at a slw speed r ding ther activities like swimming r biking.
12．What des the new study mainly shw us?
A．The best way t run.B．The best time t run.
C．The imprtance f running.D．The ppularity f running.
13．What des Dr. Baggish say abut cardivascular disease?
A．It can result frm running ften.B．It’s nt cmpletely preventable.
C．It’s nt s serius as mst peple think.D．It can be treated by sme kind f exercise.
14．What’s Dr. Baggish’s suggestin fr smene ding exercise?
A．Staying active all the time.B．Swimming mre, run less.
C．Having a big rest after ding sprts.D．Taking a little light exercise.
15．In which part f a newspaper can yu mst prbably find this text?
A．Health.B．Business.C．Sciety.D．Medicine.

Yu've decided yur child is spiled(惯坏的), and yu want t d smething abut it. Is it t late? Nt necessarily. Here are fur tips frm an expert frgetting yur child t be have well.
16 Yu've spiled yur child by giving him r her t much fr t little. Yu can crrect this by helping yur child t learn t wrk harder fr rewards and t understand that nt all gd behaviur is rewarded. 17 Fr example, at first, insist that yur daughter put a few tys away befre she gets a snack, and gradually increase the amunt f wrk required fr each reward.
Dn't verreact(反应过度) t crying. When children dn't get what they want, their natural behaviur is t cry. If yu react every time yur child cries, yu maybe denying(拒绝给予) him r her an imprtant chance t learn smething. 18
Prepare fr a fight. At the beginning, children's demands will increase when they find ut parents are nt ging t give them the new tys they want. When it happens, be careful nt t give in just because the child shuts. 19
Stick with the prgram. Yur child will prbably be upset when yu begin making changes. 20 It means the requirements are getting stricter and that yur child is adjusting(适应). Remember: give it time, and dn't give up.
A．Rather, wait until the child calms dwn.
B．That's nt necessarily a bad thing.
C．Start ut making changes slwly.
D．Cut dwn n rewards.
E．Dn't try t reasn with him r her abut the situatin.
F．There is little dubt that things will get wrse befre they get better.
G．As a parent yu need t knw when t cmfrt a child and when t simply walk away.

Every artist knws in his heart that he is saying smething t the public. Nt nly des he want t say it well, but he wants it t be smething that has nt been 21 befre. He hpes the public will listen and understand—he wants t teach them, and he wants them t learn frm him.
What 22 artists like painters want t teach is easy t make ut but difficult t explain, because painters translate their experiences int shapes and clrs, nt 23 . They seem t feel that a certain 24 f shapes and clrs, ut f the cuntless billins pssible, is exceptinally interesting fr them and wrth 25 t us. Withut their wrk we shuld never have nticed the 26 shapes and clrs, r have felt the 27 which they brught t the artists.
Mst artists take shapes and clrs frm the wrld f nature and frm human bdies in 28 and repse(静止); their 29 indicate that these aspects f the wrld are wrth lking at, that they cntain beautiful 30 . Cntemprary artists might say that they 31 chse subjects that prvide an interesting pattern, that there is nthing mre in it. Yet even they d nt chse entirely withut 32 t the character f their subjects.
If ne painter chses t paint a gangrenus(坏疽性的)leg and anther a lake in mnlight, each f them is directing ur attentin t a(n) 33 aspect f the wrld. Each painter is telling us smething, shwing us smething, 34 smething-all f which means that, cnsciusly r uncnsciusly, he is trying t 35 us.
