28、CTo discuss the advantages of a university summer school.DTo introduce the online courses of a university summer school.My husband is more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.I can be a kid at heart, too, but I also can be a ma

29、thematician and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.Children are of one mind on the subject they like souvenirs and they want them. So we are digging through piles of (成堆的) cheap key fobs (钥匙链), plastic sun hats, chocolate treats that will melt in the heat, and ridic

30、ulous T-shirts, finding nothing.We go with two hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls. Then I spot small bracelets (手链) in a rainbow of colors.“What about these? ” I ask the husband.He turns one over a couple of times and says, “Nice.” The bracelets are made of small beads (

31、珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy, which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the girls not to eat them.As the clerk rings up the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east

32、 coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by. My sister and I chose what we liked. Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid (盖子) covered in silver glitter (小闪光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鸟). It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a

33、 girl could own. It was too beautiful to put soap inside, so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year, slowly aging, yellowing, the glitter fling off. But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.The girls are married and have families of their own, and those souvenirs are still in the dre

34、sser drawers in their old bedrooms.I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets (小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. Thats always a good investment (投资).41What did the author think about his husband, when he wanted

35、 to buy souvenirs?AHe wanted to remember the trip.BHe missed their grandkids.CHe wanted to share the joy.DHe was a little childish.42Why did the author say she was a mathematician?ABecause she found it expensive to buy 11 souvenirs.BBecause she was good at choosing souvenirs for kids.CBecause she ev

36、er studied mathematics in university.DBecause their family was not rich enough to buy souvenirs.43What souvenirs did they buy for the grandkids?ASome cheap and ordinary souvenirs.BSome small bracelets made of beads.CSome rock candy which can be eat.DA blue plastic soapbox with a beautiful lid.44What

37、 did the souvenirs for the girls remind the author of?AA trip she ever had with her family.BA blue plastic soapbox bought by her mother.CA cheap but the loveliest souvenir she ever had.DA trip when she met her husband and fell in love.45What did the author think of the souvenir?AEven cheap and small

38、 souvenirs can be reminders of our family trip.BChildren are all crazy about buying and collecting souvenirs.CCollecting souvenirs may bring in a big sum of money.DBuying souvenirs can help you be a kid forever.“Its raining. Its pouring. The old man is snoring (打鼾). He bumped his head when he went t

39、o bed, and he couldnt get up in the morning.” Why couldnt the old man in the childrens song get up? (Lets kindly suppose that he just didnt want to get up) This was possibly because in the absence of sunlight, the body was still producing the hotmon (激素) melatonin (褪黑素), which makes people sleepy.Th

40、ere are many ways that rainfall affects human behavior. But how much does rain really affect peoples moods and behavior?In 2008, researchers from the University of Minnesota and Lanzhou University published a paper. They proposed that decreased rainfall was influential in social upheaval (社会动荡) and

41、the downfall of the Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties in ancient China. This is thought to be related to reduced rice cultivation.But how might rain affect social behavior in the modern world? A 2009 New York Times investigation found that murder rates in New York drop significantly on rainy days. Meanw

42、hile, in Britain, Dr. Peter Langmead-Jones of Greater Manchester police published a study in 2015 detailing an analysis of 6.6 million police records over one decade in Manchester. “ The research showed that the heavier the rainfall, the lower the recorded crime,” he said.Langmead-Jones also found t

43、hat there is a strong association between heavy rain and relatively few violent crimes recorded including domestic abuse (家庭暴力). This might be because heavy rain stops people from going out to buy alcohol and the reduced alcohol consumption results in fewer crimes.Its not all good news though. One s

44、tudy in 1997 concluded that the behavior of children can predict oncoming storms they were observed to exhibit their worst behavior when barometric (气压的) pressure fell. Another study in 2012 found that women are much more likely to be affected psychologically by rain and that they report much lower

45、levels of life satisfaction than men on rainy days.For all the complaints about rain, it does have some characteristics that hold broad appeal. The sound of raindrops can be very comforting and often features in sleep inducing relaxation apps. The theory behind this is that the pitter patter of rain

46、drops is a form of “pink noise”. It can decrease brain activity and consequently improves the quality of sleep. So if its raining where you are, the best thing to do may be to have a nap.46The author uses the lyrics of a song in the first paragraph to _.Aintroduce the interesting song to readersBvoice his understanding of why the old man couldnt get up in the morningCillustrate one way that wet weather influences human behaviorDexplain why
