　　With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object, the pains of a twoyear project were about to bear fruit.

　　It was Wang Hongyi's first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (無人機(jī)) designed and assembled (組裝) with his teammates from the AeroSport Club (航模隊)at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

　　Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major.He has been a plane model fan since childhood.As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun.Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University's AeroSport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated.

　　“I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab，” says Wang.He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club.As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab.“He loves what he's doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out,” says coach Wu.

　　When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab.“We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved,” Wang says.They didn't even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well.“We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions,” he says.

　　“Our UAV isn't finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me,” Wang says.“The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.”

　　As with any house guests, indoor plants require a certain amount of basic, regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.

　　A general rule for most plans being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.

　　Plants love company.When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions.A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement.There is no secret to this.Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.

　　Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood, but, again, if you follow a few simple rules, your plants should do well.Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer.It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom.Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals-it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.

　　The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October, and during this time, the established ones will benefit from regular feeding.This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength.It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is not active, when the soil in the pot is dry, or too soon after the plants has been potted up.

　　28.In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to________.

　　A.put plants in clean indoor air

　　B.create a new environment with plants

　　C.put plants on the sunny side of the room

　　D.make sure of suitable conditions for plants

　　29. What's the benefit of plants growing together?

　　A.It provides owners good company.

　　B.It helps the air around them slightly wet.

　　C.It makes it convenient to look after them.

　　D.It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.

　　30. While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?

　　A.Use water that is a little warm.

　　B.Pour the water into the pot holder.

　　C.Give small amount of water at one time.

　　D.Consider further watering in dry weather.

　　31. What is the best time to feed the plants?

　　A.When the soil is dry.

　　B.When their growth is active.

　　C.When the temperature is high.

　　D.When they have just been planted.

　　答案：DBAB

　　If you think by examining someone's facial expressions you can judge if he has good or bad luck in the stock market, think again.A study published in the journal, Science, has shown that body language provides a better signal in judging whether the observed subject has just gone through an intensely positive or negative experience.

　　To test highly intense faces, Dr.Hillel Aviezer and his colleagues presented test groups with photos of dozens of highly intense facial expressions in reallife situations.

　　In one study, they compared emotional expressions of professional tennis players winning or losing a point.To discover exactly how people view images, the researchers showed different editions of the pictures to three groups of participants：1) the full picture with the face and body;2) the body with the face removed;3) the face with the body removed.Remarkably, participants could easily pick the losers from winners when they judged by the full picture or the body alone, but they only had a 50：50 chance of being right when judging by the face alone.Strangely, the participants，who viewed the full image believed that it was the face, not the body, that revealed the person's emotions.

　　In an additional study, the researchers performed the same series of tests, asking viewers to examine a wider range of reallife intense faces.Again，viewers were unable to tell faces in positive situations from negative situations.The researchers also “planted” faces on bodies expressing positive or negative emotions.Sure enough, the researchers discovered that the emotion of the same face on different bodies was determined by the body on which it appeared.

　　“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expressions no longer seems clear，” says Aviezer.“The findings challenge classic behavioral models, in which the boundary between positive and negative emotions is clear.”

　　Aviezer adds, “The results may help researchers understand how body and facial expressions interact during emotional situations.For example, individuals with autism (自閉癥)may fail to recognize facial expressions, but if trained to read important body language signs, their_performance may significantly improve.”

　　32.What can we learn from the first study?

　　A.The participants were divided into three groups.

　　B.Half the participants judged right by the body alone.

　　C.The participants couldn't judge by the face alone.

　　D.All participants believed faces showed emotions.

　　33.Which method was used in both studies?

　　A.Judging facial expressions of people in the stock market.

　　B.Picking losers from winners among professional tennis players.

　　C.Showing pictures with the face, body or both to participants.

　　D.Putting faces on bodies for positive or negative emotions.

　　34.What does the underlined part “their performance” refer to?

　　A.Picking losers from winners.
