New research，however ，has showed that the worlds largest land animals have a secret trick of controlling their body
4、temperatures.Scientists have long been puzzled by temperature regulation(调 节 )in elephants. Generally， animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because， compared to their size， they have a small surface area for heat to escape from. Elephants， with their heavy-weight frames， would appear to
5、be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats， especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.Scientists thought that these creatures，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully-grown，grow large ears to help them stay cool. The skin on the ears is thinne
6、r，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily. But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed that elephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.The researchers studied six African elephants at Vie
7、nna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change. They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephants body surface，in addition to large patches on the ears. The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature in
8、creases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface. Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature.Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打 )the ears and bathing. Together with these tricks，the skin hot spots allow
9、the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degreesone degree less than humans.21. What can we know about the elephants?A. They have thick fur to protect them.B. They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia.C. They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully-grown.D. They are afraid of water a

11、phants disadvantagesD. proved that scientists earlier beliefs were totally trueBMySpace，the social networking website，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many p
12、eople as you like. Started two years ago，it is a big source of information for and about American kids.Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site，not sharing their parents worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.For teenager
13、s，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after-school jobs，school clubs ，hobbies and other personal information.“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I dont have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I wan
14、t to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace， ”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. “Every time we hold a paren
15、ts meeting，the first question is always about MySpace， ”said Kent Gates，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace - related complaints，according to Mary Beth Buchanan，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“You
16、r profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. Its like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children， ” Buchanan said.24. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace _.A. brings about the g

The Digital EraCKids are natural scientis
20、ts. That may be why they ask so many questions.Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books，long worksheets and
21、 a lot of really confusing words.What a tragedy！We had their attention，they were listening，they were participating，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings ab
22、out exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching，they are completely into the learning.My boys built a small 9-hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture
23、(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.If I had sent them out t
24、o the yard to build a 9-hole golf course，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something，I try to relate it back to something they have built，experienced，or felt. I try to give them a
25、 vocabulary around what they already know.An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.28.

So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病 ) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.Researchers divided 20 high-ris
29、k diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice，while Group C，the control group， did not. This went on for a year of treatments.By two months into the study，the patients in the laughter group had lower level o
30、f the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress，which is known to be deadly. After the 12 months， HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group CIn another measure，C-reactive proteins， a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 p
31、ercent in the control group.“The best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter， ”said study leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still， more study is needed，Berk said. The re
32、search by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study. The research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blo
33、od vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than prevention and treatment,”Berk said in a statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carr
34、y on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D.
