 Chokwe Selassie, an eighth-grader at Blackburn Middle School, was inspired to create an app on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole (坑洞) in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I wanted to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” Chokwe, 13, told TFK.

Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep sound.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they come across, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.

The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson, according to Chokwe. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” he says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems — which include potholes.

To get some help in developing the app, the boys took part in a Minority Male Makers Program sponsored by Verizon (an American broadband and telecommunications company) and held at Jackson State University. The program provides nearly 1,000 American middle school boys across the country with training in advanced technology.

“The students were really excited to participate and learn new things,” says Valerie Bradley, Chokwe’s principal at Blackburn Middle School. Through the program, Chokwe says, he and his friends received encouragement and guidance.

Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype (雏形) remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.

24.What is the app designed by Chokwe aimed at?

A.Perfecting the city’s 311 call system.  B.Planning the best routes for drivers.

C.Measuring the streets in Jackson.  D.Helping drivers avoid potholes.

25.What does the second paragraph mainly explain?

A.How Chokwe’s app works.   B.What Chokwe’s app relies on.

C.Where Chokwe’s app can be used.  D.Whom Chokwe’s app is designed for.

26.Whom is Verizon’s Minority Male Makers Program popular with?

A.Students at Jackson State University.  B.Teachers at Blackburn Middle School.

C.Boys who are interested in technology.  D.Males like driving and repairing vehicles.

27.Which of the following words can best describe Chokwe?

A.Proud. B.Honest.

C.Ambitious. D.Independent.

C

   Most dog owners are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like sit，stay or treat.However，researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning.For example，does the word“fetch”form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind，or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta’s Emory University seems to indicate that“man’s best friend”does indeed know what the owner is saying.

The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials，such as a toy animal and a ball.Once the dogs had mastered the task，they took turns inside a special scanner.The owners then tested their dog’s language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as“bobbu”and“bodmick”while holding up random objects the dogs hadn’t seen before.

The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs’ brains responsible for processing of sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with，compared with the ones they had never heard before.While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word，it did indicate some sort of recognition.The researchers believe this is an important step forward in understanding how dogs process language.

Even more interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural(神经)activity at the sound of unknown words.This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains，which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters.“Dogs want to please their owners，and perhaps also receive praise or food，”says Empty neuroscientist Gregory Burns，senior author of the study.

However，though your pet may understand human speech，the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training.“When people want to teach their dog a trick，they often use spoken command because that’s what humans prefer，”Prichard says.“From the dog’s view，however，a visual command might be more effective，helping the dog learn the trick faster.”

28.What’s the purpose of the new study?

A. To convince dog owners to understand their dogs. B. To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.

C. To prove dogs follow owners’order by listening.  D. To test out how dogs get information from owners.

29.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A. Inform the result of the research. B. State the process of the research.

C. Stress the importance of the research. D. Introduce the subjects of the research.

30.How do human brains and dog brains react to words ?

A. Human brains become active at unfamiliar words.

B. Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.

C. Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.

D. Dog brains show no response to familiar words.

31.What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?

A. Give dogs oral command. B. Teach dog new tricks.

C. Involve sight and smell. D. Encourage faster learning.

D

Whether you’re eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone’s home，proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression．According to a US expert，Emily Post，“All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness．”

While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflict，he points out that mostly their purpose is protective – they turn our natural warrior      like selves into more elegant ones．

So where did table manners come from？

In medieval England，a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full．And King David I of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (减除)．

Disappointingly，that idea never caught on．It was during the Renaissance，when there were real technical developments，opinions of correct behavior changed for good． “None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,” wrote Hitchings．“Gradually，as forks became popular，they brought the new way of eating，making it possible，for instance，to consume berries without making one’s fingers dirty．”

Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later，the first table fork reached America． Yet while most of the essentials (基本要素) are the same on both sides of the Atlantic，there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in the US and what holds true in the UK．For example，in the US，when food needs cutting with a knife，people generally cut a bite，then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand． Then they pick up one bite at a time．By contrast，Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down．

Though globalization has developed a new，simpler international standard of table manners，some people still stick with the American cut      and      switch method． The Los Angeles Times noted，“They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency．”

32.What does the story mainly talk about？

A. The importance of proper table manners．

B. The development of table manners in Western countries．

C. Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK．

D. Differences between American and British table manners．

33.The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means ______．

A. worked in practice  B. became popular C. drew attention D. had a positive effect

34.Which of the following events influenced people’s table manners most according to the article？

A. The introduction of forks．   B. The tax deduction policy．

C. The rise of the Renaissance．   D. Petrus Alfonsi’s efforts in promoting table manners．

35.What can we conclude from the article？

A. British and American table manners are completely different from each other．

B. American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do．

C. With globalization，the American cut and switch method has been abandoned in the US．

D. British people’s way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people’s．
