When our daughter, Sandy, belonged to the St. Mark Evangelical Lutheran Girl Pioneers in sixth grade, the leaders thought it would be nice if the girls made pine cone wreaths for their families as Christmas gifts. So the group gathered pine cones, put them in water and bought wire wreath frames and adhesive(黏合剂) to hold everything in place. A few days before Christmas, they and their leaders delivered the finished handiwork.
Through the years, we proudly hung up her wreath each Christmas. In 1986, the wreath was hanging on our door as usual when the temperature on Christmas Day reached 80 degrees. The adhesive began to break down and the pine cones started falling all over our front porch. We took the wreath down, planning to repair it, and gathered up the pine cones. That spring, as my husband, Don, was weeding the flower bed in front of our house, he was surprised to discover a small evergreen plant.
We decided to leave it alone. The determined tree kept growing, making it right through the long winter. When it got too big for the flower bed we moved it to the back of our lot. As the tree grew, so did our family, including four grandchildren. One day the men from the electric company came to trim our trees. One of them said it was a shame that someday our nice evergreen would have to be cut down. We just couldn’t let that happen to our faithful — if accidental — Christmas tree.
We decided to move it again, this time to Sandy and her husband Joel’s new house in the country. My husband helped Joel dig the evergreen out. It wasn’t ready to let go without a fight. Finally, five hours later, the tree came loose. They wrapped the roots as best as they could and put the whole thing in Joel’s truck. After an hour’s drive they planted the tree. I’m happy to report that our brave evergreen is still growing, now producing pine cones of its own. 25.What was a Christmas tradition for the family? A. Making dishes with pine cones.

“At almost any given age，most of us are getting better at some things and worse at others，”Joshua Hartshorne，an MIT cognitive(认知的)science researcher and the lead author of a study looking at how intelligence changes as we age，told Business Insider．His team quizzed thousands of people aged 10—90 on their ability to do things like remembering lists of words，recognizing faces，learning names，and doing math．Their results suggest that no matter your age，there’s almost always a new peak on the horizon．
The human brain has a remarkable capacity to recognize and identify faces，and scientists are just beginning to learn why．On average，we know that our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to
peak shortly after our 30th birthday．
Having trouble focusing? The study suggests that our ability to maintain attention improves with age，reaching its peak around age 43．While younger adults may excel in the speed and flexibility of information processing，adults approaching their mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused．
Dating is tough．One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s．That’s according to one component of Hartshorne’s study，which involved showing thousands of people images of faces cropped tightly around the eye area．Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo was feeling．Performance peaked for people aged around 48．
Many people believe that their math skills decline after they leave school and stop practicing arithmetic．But the next time you try to split up a check，keep this in mind：your ability to do basic subtraction and division doesn’t reach its apex until your 50th birthday．
Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble? Good news：Your best days may be ahead．According to people’s scores on multiple—choice vocabulary tests，most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmithing abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s．
28．What did the scientists mainly test during the research?
A．Communication ability． B．Athletic ability． C．Intelligence ability． D．Reading ability． 29．What does the underlined word“apex”in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Destination． B．Top． C．Goal． D．Minimum． 30．Who is most likely to succeed according to the text?
A．Lucy，72，trying to win at Scrabble．
B．Tom，26，trying to identify strangers’ faces．
C．Jack，48，trying to focus his attention for a long time． D．Lily，43，trying to read the emotions in different eyes． 31．What does Hartshorne’s study mainly tell us?
A．There is no end to learning．
B．Constant dropping wears away the stone． C．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence．
D．A foot may prove short while an inch may prove long． D
A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and Published in the scientific Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits(特点) with “well-established questionnaires” for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms
