Luciano Baietti, a retired school headmaster from Italy, holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees. The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy, and is getting ready to get his 16th.
Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of, but 15 is apparently quite impressive, since it’s only been done by one man. Although he spends his days working around his house and garden, like most people of his age; at night, Baretti turns into a student again. Every morning, at 3 a. m., when most of the world is sleeping, he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp. He claims studying helps keep his mind active and that every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him.
“Thanks to books, I feel free. After all, the words share the same root,” he says, referring to the Italian words libro (book) and libero (free). He claims to have been inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis-Francois Berlin, whose portrait(肖像) is also on display in his study, alongside his many framed university degrees, and whom he describes as “a man of culture and knowledge”.
Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002, after his eighth degree. Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection. “Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go.” At 70-years-old, Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree, this time in food science.
Probably the most important thing about Baietti’s achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school, and volunteering with Italy’s Red Cross. The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst (渴求) for knowledge didn’t affect his professional activity and his family life. He spent 3
hours studying every day, and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his thesis.
24. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Challenging himself opens up a broader world to Baietti. B. Nobody but Baietti has ever got more than one college degree. C. Baietti is the first Italian to break a Guinness record twice. D. Louis - Francois Berlin is on good terms with Baietti. 25. The key to Baietti’s success is . A. the support from his family B. his eagerness for fame C. his nonstop daily learning D. his unusual brain and energy 26. Baietti can be best described as . A. honest and considerate B. optimistic and generous C. reliable and imaginative D. determined and hardworking 27. What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti?
A. Well begun is half done. B. Never too late to learn. C. Take things as they come. D. Strike the iron while it is hot.

Even before we were born, we knew our mother’s voice and could distinguish it from other voices. That’s one of the key findings of an ongoing research project by Canadian and Chinese researchers. The research suggests that while we are still in the womb(子宫), our brains are learning speech patterns and laying the groundwork for language acquisition. \brain is being set up to learn language,\
It had already been known that newborn babies show a preference for their mother’s voice, but her latest research shows they also prefer that familiar sound while still in the womb. Kisilevsky carried out the first leg of the research in China, because she already had a research project under way there and this fit nicely with that work.
Working with researchers at Zhejiang University, Kisilevsky tested 60 women in the final stage of pregnancy. All the mothers were tape-recorded as they read a poem out loud. Then the mothers were divided into two groups. Half the fetuses(胎儿) heard the recording of their own mother. The other half heard that of another mother, but not their own.
In both cases, the poem caused a change in the baby’s heart rate. The heart rate accelerated among those who heard their own mother’s voice, and decelerated among those who heard a voice other than that of their mother’s.
Deceleration of the heart rate is \attention mechanism(机制)\Kisilevsky says. The heartbeat among fetuses who heard an unfamiliar voice slowed down, she says, because they were
paying close attention to a voice they did not recognize. The fact that the heartbeat changed in both cases — up for Mom, down for someone else — shows the fetuses \she says, and could tell one from the other.
By the way, the poem is immaterial here. Kisilevsky suspects she would have had the same results if the mothers had been reading a phone book. \’s not the content that the fetuses recognized,\she says. \all have our own way of talking. We stop at different times, take breaths at different times, and that’s what they are recognizing.\28、What did Kisilevsky’s research find?
A. Babies can recognize Mom’s voice while in the womb. B. Infants are more sensitive to Mom’s voice than fetuses. C. Babies are good language learners.
D. Babies’ language acquisition begins after birth.
29、What led to the change in fetuses’ heart rate according to the research?
A.Their curiosity about everything.
B. Their familiarity with the voice.
C. The quality of the recordings. D. The content of the poem recorded. 30、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Different experimental materials can lead to different results. B. Adults talk in a way quite different from babies.
C. Speech patterns are what fetuses recognize in telling voices. D. Kisilevsky firmly believes her findings are applicable. 31、In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Science. B. Medicine. C. Education. D. Lifestyle.

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is
the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight. 32、For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2? A. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients. B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers. D. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing. 33、Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. He will cause the destruction of the world. B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. His social skills could be affected. D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
34、Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing? A. Objective . B. Optimistic. C. Opposed. 35、What may the passage talk about next?
A. People addicted to phubbing. B. Advice on how to use a cell phone. C. Consequences of phubbing. D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Supportive.
