the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we
share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each
other"s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals
have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in
relation to the time of day and year. In Nature"s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have
developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it"s an ability for communicating information
to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don"t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such
as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy
or sad. This is so-called "body language". Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among
many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal
gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively
acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire
this amazing skills? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms
function, but this doesn"t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history. | | 1. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is _____. | A. our ability to use language

Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.
Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year
and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few
careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and
take them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座).
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that
has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the
police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of companies who will security mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their
computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.
Finally
Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to
you. | | 阅读理解。 | The Best of Friends
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young
people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy
teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious
than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seen to be
about their families," said one member of the research team. "They"re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and
selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry
about whether school is serving them well. There"s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents
and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don"t want to rock
the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their
children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-
old Daniel Lazall. "I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I"m doing,
they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot
of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go out on a
Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers
rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along
well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded
as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during
that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth
change from helping out with the family business to taking it over." | | 1. What is the popular images of teenagers today? | A. They worry about school
