After a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Benjamin Blume began to attend Sam Houston State

University, USA.But he felt there was something missing. That all changed when Blume

attended a study program abroad. With the help of the staff at the Office of International

Programs and the Veterans Resource Center ( 退伍老兵资源中心), he was able to take seven

study trips abroad, visiting 19 countries in just three years.

Blume’s first stop was Leipzig, Germany for a German language program in the summer of

2018. Later that summer, Blume visited Australia as part of the stars and galaxy ( 星系) course.

“There was a major eclipse (日食) in Australia that summer and it was an amazing thing to see,”

Blume said. “We also visited Wyoming after leaving Australia for the same course to see the

sky.”

In the fall of 2018, Blume took off again this time visiting Bern, Switzerland for a business

course. Blume returned for the 2019 spring term before his next adventure that summer in

Tokyo for a month-long economics trip. “Tokyo was quite the experience and like nothing I had

seen before,” Blume said. “I had never experienced so much culture and history as I did there.”

Blume went from Tokyo back to Germany, this time visiting Aachen for an economics

program. After returning to the US and staying for a month, Blume travelled to Dubai in the

United Arab Emirates for a three-week marketing program. Finally, Blume took his seventh and

last study abroad trip to Auckland, New Zealand. “New Zealand was probably my favorite place

to visit because the landscape is so diverse.” Blume added, “One day we hiked a glacier, which

I had never done before. I also got to see where The Hobbit films were made.”

I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem. I’m a gymnast. In a sport for young girls, I have

found an unlikely path to joy. When I enter the gym, no matter how much stress I might be

feeling, my mind clears and I forget my life. I think of nothing but what I am doing.

When I was 9, I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy. The coach had gray hair and

wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm. He would say, “You are going to be a

gymnast.” And I believed him. I vividly remember the first time I did a round off back

handspring by myself, the weightlessness of it. I lived for Saturday mornings. I only ever did

gymnastics recreationally — I didn’t even know real gyms existed — but I always loved it.

That long dormant love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at

parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and

I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. But I couldn’t make it through the warm-

up at the first adult class I went. I felt bad during conditioning. I was the oldest person there.

But that spark of memory glowed with possibility. I went back to class again, and again. It was

hard and it was humbling. But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to.

There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill, that combination of speed, mechanics,

timing, muscles, and bravery. There is an indescribable (不可言喻的) element, too, something

like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of

unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics

has brought the most delightful surprises — I keep getting better, overcoming what I thought

were limits, amazing myself by what I can do. At a time in life when many things feel like they

are sliding down the slope (斜坡) towards old, gymnastics is a gift of fluency and competence

in motion. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16.

A.Faithful and easygoing. B.Humble and competent.

C.Passionate and persistent. D.Ambitious and considerate.

7.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Awake. B.Inactive. C.Deadly. D.Nameless.

From the roar of a crowd to the quiet of a library, sound and silence might seem like

polar opposites. However, according to a new research, our brains perceive them in the same

way. Silence may not be a sound, but scientists say we can truly hear it.

In this new study, researchers examined how people experience silence using well-known

auditory illusions (错觉 ). The illusions are meant to test the perception of noise, but for the

study, the team adapted them to measure people’s response to silence, instead.

“If you can get the same illusions with silences as you get with sounds, then that may be

obvious that we literally hear silence after all.” Chaz Firestone, a co-author of the study and

cognitive scientist at Johns Hopkins University, says in a statement.

In the study, participants were tricked by these “silence illusions” in a similar way to how

people are typically fooled by the sound versions of the experiments.

The researchers prepared seven experiments and tested them on 1,000 study participants.

In one experiment, researchers played a recording that sounded like background noise in a

crowded place. In the first half of the recording, the background noise was interrupted by two

separate periods of silence. In the second half, one continuous period of silence was inserted (嵌

入). Researchers asked participants which silence felt longer- the combination of the first two

periods of silence, or the second uninterrupted one. Most participants thought the continuous

silence was longer, but it was actually the same length as the two shorter silences combined.

These results were consistent with previous research that examined auditory illusions,

which used two separate sounds and one continuous sound. With that illusion, people also

perceived the continuous sound as longer than the two separate ones together.

Similar findings across the seven experiments suggested that humans experience silence

and sound in much the same way: They can distort (扭曲) our perception of time.

8.Why did researchers use auditory illusions in the new study?

A.To help people perceive sounds. B.To test people’s adaptability to noise.

C.To measure how people respond to silence. D.To remind people to be quiet in the library.

9.What can we infer from paragraph 5?

A.Illusions of silence fool people’s brains.

B.The three periods of silence are of the same length.

C.Sound is usually difficult for people to perceive.

D.Participants chose a recording and played it.

10.Where is this text most likely from?

A.A diary. B.A journal. C.A novel. D.A guidebook.

11.What is the best title for the text?

A.We can truly hear silence like a sound.

B.Sound and silence are actually the same.

C.Auditory illusions affect our perception ability.

D.Our brain has the ability to perceive sound and silence.

Computer games have seriously caught the attention of Mass Media. The increasing

amount of games with violent scenes socks the society and makes it very aware of them. The

fact that violent games cause violence in people is not even doubted by most people. Some say

that the reason lies in games being too close to reality. But is it justified only according to the

external similarity of these two worlds?

Games originally are entertainment. Contemporary games are very realistic and for this

reason they are a source of great experience for the player and develop the imagination. Games

are more than entertainment. The research of the New York University led by Green and

Bavelier claims that the player preferring active games get an improvement of some types of

brain activity, related to processing of visual information. In particular, game players cope with

problems of simultaneously ( 同时地 ) tracking several moving objects at the average level of

30% better than people who do not play active computer video games. A game is an abstraction.

A player gets abstract tasks and acts according to abstract rules. Games are also the possibility

to be whoever a person wants to be and to rest from the outside world for some time.
