“Certainly. When I’m back home, everyone will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. Two days ago, I visited this wonderful place!” “Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world.” As I went on telling him more about the Great Wall, he stopped me again, “You don’t say!”
I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it ” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so.” he answered, greatly surprised. “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’ ” I asked again.

①Have you ever thought about how babies learn to speak A recent study led by David, a researcher from Florida Atlantic University,. found that babies learn to speak not only by listening to sounds but also by watching people’s lips（嘴唇）move. This happens as babies start making clear words like “mama” or “dada” for the first time. They need to learn how to move their lips to make the sounds they hear.
②According to the previous（之前的）research, babies learn to connect sounds with mouth movements fast. When they turn one year old, they look at your eyes more. This means that talking to babies eye-to-eye is better for their language skills than just letting them watch baby DVDs.
③But David went a step further. He and his student Hansen tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them aged 4,6,8,10 and 12 months. They tried to find out how these babies reacted to the sound of their mother language and another language.
④They showed videos of a woman speaking in English to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4- month-old babies gazed（凝视）mostly into her eyes. The 6-month-old babies spent the same amounts（数量）of time looking at both the eyes and the mouth. However, when babies reached 8 to 10 months old, they focused more on the mouth instead of the eyes. At 12 months, the babies started looking back at the eyes, like what they did at 4 months.
⑤What happened when these babies who are used to English heard French The 12-month-old babies studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. By focusing on the mouth movement, they tried to collect more information to understand the strange sounds.
⑥“The results of the research show babies watch mouths to learn their first language and look at eyes by 12 months old. They watch mouths longer when they hear a new language.” says Duke University scientist Greg. He adds excitedly, “I have never thought that babies would learn language like this. The results of the research are blowing my mind. So I want to learn more about it. Learning how babies learn is important to unlock the secrets of human development.”
39. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Babies learn to speak only by listening.
B. Babies learn to use body languages.
C. Babies don’t need sound to learn to speak.
D. Babies watch lips move to learn to speak.
40. According to previous research, what do babies do when they turn one year old
A. They look at people’s eyes more.
B. They watch baby DVDs more.
C. They listen to sounds more.
D. They look at people’s mouths more.
41. Which of the following shows the right change of babies’ eye gaze according to Paragraph 4
A. B.
C. D.
42. How did 12-month-old babies used to English react when they heard French
A. They focused longer on the mouth movements.
B. They paid less attention to the mouth movements.
C. They continued to focus on the eyes.
D. They showed no interest in either the eyes or the mouth.
43. What does Greg think of the research
A. He finds the results surprising and fantastic.
B. He disagrees with the findings of the research.
C. He thinks it’s easy to understand the results.
D. He finds the results boring and unimportant.

Peking Opera, also called Jingju, listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, is the most important one among hundreds of forms of local operas in China. It arose in the late 18th century and has a history of more than two hundred years.
Peking Opera which combines singing, dancing, acrobatics and martial arts is sung and recited using Beijing dialect. The music of Peking Opera plays a key role because it can guide the progress of the stories.

The boy on the new book cover is Guo Baochang’s grandson. He and his grandson are playing a game by dressing up in roles from a famous Peking Opera piece. Its name is Shuang Bei Deng, which is a comedy. It took them years to write the book because they wanted to make it easy and fun. They hope young people will get to know more about Peking Opera.

When you enter the school, you can see two large buildings on both sides. When you pass the office building, turn right and the library is on Central Road and next to the art room. You can find it easily. On the weekend, l like spending time in it. I like reading books. Though there are many people in the library, it is very quiet. Nobody talks in the room, only the sound of page turning. Every time I finish my homework, I would like to borrow books which are about space. It’s my dream to be an astronaut. This is also the reason why I like the library best. Once, our school had a book sale in it. Every one of our school brought many books and toys and had a big sale. We raised a lot of money and gave them away to the people in the poor area. At that moment, I began to realize that anybody could make a difference to the world as long as we took actions.
As the saying goes, reading makes a full man. It is the library that always reminds me of being a wise man and reading more books to make the world a better place for people to live in no matter they are rich or poor.
