A
Aerial (空中的) performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, but she never let it stop her.
Wrapped in a loop (圈) of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground - a move that's all the more daring because she has no legs.
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket (桶), they refused.
Jennifer soon learned to walk - and run - on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline (蹦床) with her three older brothers. "My parents didin't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different.I knew I didn't have legs, but that wasn.t stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do."
At the age of three she was fitted with prosthetic legs, but she never really took to them - she moved more freely without.
In 1996 and the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US. When Moceanu and the women's team won gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercise down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.
Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere-but he risk of your
flight or hotel being overbooked increase with third-party providers. The middleman's software isn't immune（防护作用的）to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.

These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers（中途停留）. Cheek the fine prints.
◆Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.
An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is

According to a team of researchers, an animal's ability to perceive (感知) time is linked to their pace of life.
"Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures." commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.
The study was done with a variety of animals using a phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.
Our example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies " observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve," which allows them to avoid being hit.
Professor Craeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, " Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good discoveries very quickly."
In comparison, the tiger beetle (虎甲虫) runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey's (猎物) position.
Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.
32. What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about?
A. Pace of life of animals.
B. Time perception of animals
C. Lifetime of small animals
D. Impressive abilities of animals.
33. What does Kevin Healy's comment mean in Para. 2?
A.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.
B. The arrival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.
C. Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time.
D. Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life.
34. Why can houseflies avoid being hit?
A. They can think very deeply before thy act.
B. They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.
C. They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.
D. They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.
35. What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey?
A. Try to run as fast as it can.
B. Prevent itself from becoming blind.
C. Slow down to gain its time perception.
D. Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.

Most people directly link senior high school life with plenty of stress and endless homeworks. However,some interest activities indeed contribute to reduce the pressure. Last week the entertainment department of our Student Union organized the activity in which each class shoot a short movie. Our class chose a story setting in World War Ⅱ, that showed the preciousness of peace. I think this process was a good lesson that taught to me how to strike a balance between studying or relaxation.
