22、land, recently published a cartoon of a baby with a mobile phone, telling his parents that his diaper（尿布）needed changing. But its hardly a joke. Helsinki is home to Nokia, the mobile-phone maker. Its one of the most “mobile” cities in the world: About 92 percent of its households have at least one m
23、obile phone. And the kids start young.“A relatively normal age to get a mobile phone is now 7,”says Jan Virkki, marketing manager for a mobile-phone company. Among the second graders at the Kulosaari Elementary School, the most popular object of desire this year is not a Barbie or a Gameboy. It is a
24、 Nokia mobile phone with a picture of their own choice on the screen.“One of the first things we discuss when school starts is the rules for mobile phones,” says Tiia Korppi, a teacher. Among the rules: You have to put it away out of sight. You cannot turn it on. You cannot send text messages to you

28、rther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way（银河）but it is not in our solar（太阳的）system The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Seientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called“transit technique”They were able
29、to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the stars light to dim（变暗）.Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away.“We believe the door has heen opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,”says S

Elephant families are matriarch
32、al. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family groups survival（生存）, according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Sussex University in England.Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact
33、 calling（联络呼叫）. An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby. A stranger can cause trouble. Interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the
34、unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right.Working with Cynthia Moss, who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli
35、elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a gr
36、oup upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social
37、knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger ,as
38、 do their much wanted tusks（象牙）. So the older-and wiser-a matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.61What does the underlined word “matriarch” mean?AAn old member of an elephant family.BA female head of an elepha

42、 general intelligence（智力）between boys and girls, what can explain girls poor performance in science and mathematics?It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less l
43、ikely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because the
44、y are afraid to appear less feminine（女性的） and attractive.However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for
45、 this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are enoouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding（杰出的）mathematicians and scientists h
