12.A disheveled(头发凌乱的) man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam by her boyfriend in China.Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.
The body of York University student Liu Qian,23,of Beijing,was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack,police said.
She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma(创伤)severe enough to kill her.Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy(尸体解剖) are known.
Brian Dickson,29,stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first-degree murder was read out.He did not enter an appeal.His case was held over until April=26.
Dickson was arrested Wednesday.Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson,saying it could compromise the investigation.Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.
Liu's father,Liu Jianhui,who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter's death,thanked authorities for their quick action.
"I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter's case,"he told reporters after the arrest."Our daughter was studying very hard."
Police released no motive or details about Dickson,but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor.
Patricia Tomasi,a friend of Dickson's,told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.
"He doesn't seem like the type but that's what they always say,"Tomasi said."He's tall with boyish good looks.I don't know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor."
Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics,but did not earn a degree from there.
He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC),where he served as an assistant to the president Julie Lindhout.According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada,Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy,a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.
A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff,but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生) with the council from September 29,2008,until March 27,2009.
Liu was chatting with her boyfriend,Meng Xianchao,by webcam at about 1a.m.Friday when a man knocked on the door,police said.
Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu's webcam was shut off.Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.
The victim's father,Liu Jianhui,said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada,where she met Meng.
Liu Qian's laptop computer,webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack,police said.Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded,though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.
York University,whose campus is located near one of Toronto's rougher neighborhoods,is one of Canada's largest universities with more than 53,000undergraduate and graduate students.About 3,200of York's students come from more than 150foreign countries,the university's website says.

59.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.York University students come from over 150foreign countries.
B.Dickson was a graduate of York University where he studied global politics.
C.The passage does not mention the reason why Dickson murdered Liu Qian.
D.ACC wouldn't make any comments on staff even if they committed a crime.
60.The underlined word in paragraph 8probably meansD.
A.a successful actor   B.a gifted actor   C.a common actor    D.an ambitious actor
61.Why did police ask the media not to publish any photos of Dickson?A
A.Worrying about bad influences on the investigation.
B.Not intending to give out any information about Dickson.
C.Not confirming whether Dickson had killed Liu Qian.
D.Wanting to protect their citizen for fear of losing face.
62.What can be inferred from the text?C
A.Developments in Literacy raises money for children.
B.Seeing the struggle,Meng contacted Toronto police.

20.A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent (聪明的),increasing the brainpower they had at birth.
Until now,it has been widely supposed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant (相关的) former experience-what psychologists (心理学家) call fluid intelligence-is innate and cannot be taught (though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).
But in the new study,researchers describe a method for improving this skill,along with experiments to prove it works.
The key,researchers found,was carefully structured training in working memory-the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it.This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence,so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.
First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests.Then they trained each in a complicated memory task-the child's card game,in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard.During the course,they needed to ignore irrelevant items,monitor ongoing performance,manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.
The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8,12,17and 19days,separately.To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills,the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.
The results,published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,were striking.Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater.Moreover,the longer they trained,the higher their scores were.All performers,from the weakest to the strongest,showed great improvement.
"Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training."said Dr Jaeggi,a co-author of the paper."No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,"he added,"and the experiment's design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains."

53.The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence wasB.
A.memorizing telephone numbers
B.improving working memory
C.training in attention
D.recalling a card
54.Which of the following training ways help increase intelligence?D
a.ignoring irrelevant items
b.monitoring ongoing performance
c.making connections
d.working in groups
A.a,b,d.   B.b,c,d.   C.a,c,d.   D.a,b,c.
55.When the experiment was conducted,the researchersC.
A.trained the four groups for the same period of time
B.trained the four groups at different time of the day
C.compared the four groups with control groups
D.trained the four groups together
56.By writing the article,the writer wants toA.
A.inform the readers of a new study
B.call on people to be trained to increase intelligence
C.tell people the improved intelligence will last forever
D.say the more one is trained,the more one's born intelligence improves.
