9、e is known as Pel. Without doubt, Pele is the greatest soccer player ever. Born in a small village in Brazil, Pel grew up playing soccer like most other children of his age.

10、 was usually a sidewalk. Old tin cans marked where the goalposts should be. Pel and the other boys from his neighborhood often dreamed of one clay becoming professional soccer players.

11、then the coach of the Bauru Soccer Club and he signed Pele to play for the junior Bauru team.

17、lot.D.He received professional training at age 15.3、 Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失). A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them ov
18、er a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly. Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings. The scien
19、tists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like
20、in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later. The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and di
21、scussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of
22、 memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.1.What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childh

25、of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events4、Cities Are Turning Snails Yellow In the early and mid-20th century, if you wander through woodlands or cities of Europe, you will likely find, with an observant eye, that grove snails come in a variety of colors. Over that time
26、, European cities have seen high-rises, concrete, and asphalt (沥青). And the snailsstill common, still everywherehave been changing, too. In the Netherlands, the results of a citizen-science project suggest that light-colored snails are becoming more common in cities. Researchers blame the urban-heat
27、-island effect. Yellow shells, they argue, reflect more sunlight, allowing snails to stay cool in the heat. If you are interested in finding this change yourself, there is an Android app called SnailSnap. It was developed by Niels Kerstes at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center with his co-workers in 2
28、017. The problem with citizen science, however, is that its hard to say how reliable the data are, Kerstes says. When a citizen scientist uses SnailSnap to take a photo of a snail, the app also records the location. Sometimes the GPS didnt work or people disagreed on the color, but it gave Kerstes m
29、ore overall confidence in the data. The team eventually compared snails from four types of habitats: farmland, natural habitats like forests, urban green areas like parks, and urban gray areas that were primarily residential, commercial, or industrial. In both types of urban setlings, they found mor
30、e yellow snails. Kerstes and his co-authors think this is because of the temperature. Cities are often hotter than their surrounding areas because theyve full of materials like asphalt absorbing more radiation and are relatively short of trees. Since dark ones also absorb more radiation than their y
31、ellow counterparts, they may get too hot and have to spend more time trying to escape from the sun. Organisms are evolving all the time. People just dont walk around with this kind of consciousness, says an ecologist. But if you stop to notice snails, you may be more familiar with the evolution that
32、s happening on sidewalks, in alleyways, and all around.1.What is the result of the urban-heat-island effect in Paragraph 2?A.Light-colored shells absorb more sunlight.B.Dark-colored snails are on the increase.C.Rising temperature results in more light-colored snails.D.Urban changes lead to the chang

34、 word “counterparts” refer to?A.Snails.B.Habitats.C.Trees.D.Cities.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.Urban parks are suitable for all the snails.B.Evolution can happen anywhere and anytime.C.Radiation is the main reason for the fading colors of snails.D.Kerstes is worried about the data collect
