blacksmiths,called the manufacturer,contactedformer employees and challenged visitors to play around with the safe but nobody had any success.Until last month,when a visitor to Vermilion cracked the code (on his first try,much to the astonishmentStephen Mills,from Fort MeMurray,Alberta,was on a family camping trip with his wife and his two children.After giving the Mills family a tour of the whole building,the museum volunteer showed them the objects in thebasement,including the mysterious safe.It originally had belonged to the town's Brunswrick Hotel which opened in the early 1900s.When the hotel shutdown in the late 1970s,the safe was locked:-and so it had remained."It was like a time capsule,nobody had any idea of what was in there,"said Mills.Like other visitors,Mills was offered

would use them as serving chopsticks.Surprisingly,her 75-year-old father,who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks,became a firmsupporter this time,said Pang,40.from Beihai,a coastal city of South China's Guangri Zhuang AutonomousRegion.Chinese people often share dishes,and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shareddishes,a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus."We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections,"Pang said:pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets()and close contact.Local governments are helping to encourage a shift,too.On Feb 10,local authorities of Beihai started acampaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons,which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personalchopsticks.Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like BeiJing,Shanghai and Hangzhou.Taizhou city in eastChina's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help dinersdifferentiate(鈽掑垎)them from personal ones..The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals,which remains present in certain areas.China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak.The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24.when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.Li Bo,with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife'Protection,said wild animal consumption could lead tothe faster extinction of particular species,damage the ecological balance and harm people's health.“The epidemic(流行)could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit,”Li said.[11 What ean we learn about Pang Hui's family from the tert?A.Usually more than seven people dine together.B.They have started to use serving chopsticks at table.C.Pang Hui's father opposes using serving chopsticks.D.They don't know how to avoid being infected by the virus.[2]According to the text,what has been done by the government?A.Sharing dishes has been abandoned.B.Cross-infections have been prevented.C.Eating wild animals has been forbidden.D.Standard personal chopsticks have been adopted.[31 What does the underlined word eliminate"in the last paragraph probably mean?第2页/共13页夸克学习有夸克就有解B.Discover.C.Form.D.Remove.【4】What can be the best title for the text?A.Serving Chopsticks PromotedThe reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one-sided structure,according to the research.Left-handers appear to be missing those genes."There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (brain in left-handers,where thetwo sides are more equal,"said Daniel Geschwind,who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind,researchers have been trying to document the waygenes and enviromment affect intelligence and mental abilities.They found that right-and left-handedness isdetermined by genetics.If a person has the gene for right-handedness,that person will be right-handed.Peoplewho do not have that gene,however,can be either left-or right-handed.There is no specific gene for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain,where their language abilities are concentrated.Conversely,left-handers have more balanced brains.The language abilities of left-handers more often,are concentrated on theright side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain seans on72 pairs of male identical(同卵双生的)twins between75and85years old.They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference,both must be right-handed.Ifthey lack the gene,one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left-handed.The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure.Butwhen a left-hander was part of the twin set,the brains were different.The conclusion,researchers said,is thatthe absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.[11 What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?A.Left-handers have more balanced brains.B.Right-handers have more flerible brains.C.Left-handers'brains are more one-sided.[21 Which element determines a person's hand preference?A.Environment.B.Intelligence.C.Habit.D.Gene.第3页/共13页
