Just like any barber, Dasharath Kumar, 28, bs the hair and meticulously runs the flame of the candle on the ends, giving it a unique finish. The cutting-edge technique has made him the most demanded barber in his small village in Gulbarga in Karnataka in southern India.While Dasharath joined his family business when he was 15, the unique idea only clicked him five years ago. He says: “Electricity cut was mon in our village and we were used to working in dark. But one evening while I was cutting the hair of a customer, power went off and I had to use the light from a candle to finish the haircut. But the flames of the candle that night inspired me to think of using a new technique for trimming hair.”“I had bunch of regular customers so when I told them about the experiment, they happily said they trusted me and my skills and gave a nod for the new technique. Surprisingly, it came out very well. Since then there was no looking back.”Started with only 20 pence, customers now happily pay him 1 for his novel way of haircut.One of his daring customers Yusuf Khan, who waited for nearly two hours for his turn, said:“Every barber gives a haircut using scissors but the fun of getting a haircut with a candle flame is unbeatable. Initially, I was not prepared for it but once I saw the magic of his hands, I never went back to a regular barber.”24. The underlined word “meticulously” probably means _.A. casually B. carefully C. surprisedly D. randomly25. When was Dasharath inspired to trim hair with a burning candle?A. At the age of five.B. After his graduation.C. After a power failure.D. When its getting dark.26. What can we conclude from the text?A. No customers want to be back to Dasharaths salon.B. Dasharath charges more money than any other barber.C. A traditional barber cant make a living in the future.D. Many people are attracted by Dasharaths technique.27. The best title for the passage is probably _.A. An amazing Indian barberB. A latest cutting fashionC. A regular barbers futureD. What made a good barberC It is quite apparent that petition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物) . Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without petition, Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb. Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves petition. It isnt petition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition - the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light - better explains it. As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution, overpopulation, and petition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with petition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, petition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition. Nevertheless, by necessity, petition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly petition can have only benefits, but when it bees too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without petition, we would be lost.28. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?A. How to win the petition. B. What petition exactly is.C. What the result of petition is. D. How friends pete with each other.29. According to the writer, what causes the high school students to pete?A. They know the laws of nature well. B. Friendship is a burden for them.C. The number of them is too large. D. They are divided into different groups.30. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and petition?A. Friendship is always based on petition.B. petition is a result of lost friendship. C. petition is terribly harmful to friendships.D. The degree of petition is vital to friendship.31. What does the author think of “petition”?A. petition is certain to happen at school.B. The result of petition are out of control.C. petition bees fierce in high school.D. Friendship is not as important as petition at school.DAs any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A babys cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦）in a way while other cries dont, researchers found.Researchers found that a babys cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore themwhether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response, suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a babys cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds - roughly the time it takes to blink (眨眼) two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a babys cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and womeneven if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but its not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的）view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own childs cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on puter games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.32. A babys cry is difficult to ignore because it .A. keeps on crying B. cries harder than adults C. causes people great pain D. makes people feel strong emotions 33. What may Christine Parsons agree to?A. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.B. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies cries.C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.D. Almost everyone makes certain response to a babys cry.34.putergamesarementionedinthetexttoshow_APlayers differentreactionstoacryingbabyBBabyscryingcontributestoquickerreactionsCtheinfluenceofbabysandadultscryingonperformanceDItshardtokeeponesconcentrationwithacryingbabynearby.35. Whats the main idea of the text?A. How to recognize different babies cries.B. Why you cant get a babys cry out of your head. C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.D.
