Looking for dinosaurs

  The study of dinosaurs first began when someone uncovered a dinosaur jaw bone in Holland in 1770.Soon other dinosaur bones were discovered in England and scientists began to put the bones together to make models of dinosaurs.In 1855, Edward Drinker cope and Othniel Charles marsh discovered dinosaur teeth and bones in the United States and began to construct their own dinosaur models.Although they made some mistakes(such as putting the head on the wrong end of one of their dinosaur models), their work added greatly to our knowledge of dinosaurs.By the 1890s, these two men had discovered 130 new types of dinosaurs using the bones they found in Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming.

  Today there are thousands of places where dinosaur bones may be found.However, there are not enough scientists to go to all these places.The Denver Museum of Natural History is helping solve this problem by training dinosaur hunters.They offer eight courses on how to find and take care of dinosaur bones.They have already graduated over 100 “dinosaur hunters”

Number these events in the correct order

□ Dinosaur bones were first discovered in the Unite States.

□ The Denver Museum of Natural History began training dinosaur hunters.

□ Dinosaur bones were discovered in Holland.

□ 130 new types of dinosaurs were discovered by Cope and Marsh.

Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.

I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.

At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!

The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.

1.The underlined word “Castle” in the first paragraph means _____.

A.城堡

B.胜地

C.城垛

D.楼阁

2. “Casa Grande” is _____ the other three ones at Hearst Castle.

A.younger than

B.bigger than

C.older than

D.smaller than

3. There are _____ at Hearst Castle.

A.beautiful gardens

B.one swimming pool inside

C.one swimming pool outside

D.all the above

4. _____ made Mr. Hearst build this wonderful castle.

A.A tour around Europe

B.The paintings and castles in Europe

C.His mother

D.His dream

5. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A.Hearst Castle in California was cheap to build.

B.Hearst Castle is on a mountain near the sea.

C.Many Hollywood film stars come to Hearst’s parties.

D.After Mr. Hearst died, his family lived at Hearst Castle.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene(场景), but each perceives(察觉)something different about it.

   Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket(罚单). Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着). For perception(感知) is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.

   Many psychologists(心理学家) today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

1.Perceiving is an action that takes place _____.

A.in our eyes

B.only when we think very hard about something

C.only under the direction of a psychologist

D.in every person’s mind

2. People perceive different things about the same scene because ____.

A.they see different things. 

B.they can not agree about things

C.some have better eyesight

D.none of these

3. Psychologists study perception by _____.

A.setting up many experiments. 

B.asking each other what they see.

C.looking out of windows.

D.Studying people’s eyes.

4. The best title for this article is _____.

A.How We See

B.Learning About Our Minds Through Science

C.What Psychologists Perceive

D.How To Become An Experimental Psychologist
