Every morning many girls in the African country of Zimbabwe (津巴布市) rise with the sun and go to fetch water for their families. They have to walk many miles and carry the water home on their heads. Where they live, there is no running water they can get at all.
“You have to relax your neck and head and make it follow the load (负荷),” one girl told me “It is easy for you to do that if you practice for many times.” I have lived in Zimbabwe all my life. I have made efforts many times and I have also practiced it for long. But it was not easy at all.
In reality, water is not the only thing that requires head-balancing skills in everyday life. In most of these villages there is no electricity for cooking so fire wood is used instead. The girls must collect and carry it back to their villages. They insist the easiest way to do this is on their heads.
Even at school head-balancing skills come in handy. At a school I saw a group of girls fetching bags of sand that were to be used to build a new classroom. They carried these bags with case.
Girls in many countries worldwide prefer to carry things on their heads. They are taught this skill at a young age and grow up to have strong necks and great posture. For these girls balance is simply a way of life.
61．According to the text, Zimbabwe girls like carrying things on their heads.
62．To get the head-balancing ability, a girl should have a short and round neck.
63．For Zimbabwe girls, they can only carry fire wood on their heads besides water.
64．The reason for the girls to have good head-balancing skills is that they have learned them since they were young.
65．The best title for the text can be Girl’s Head-Balancing Skills.

Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits (展品)
When visiting the British Museum, you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed. Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. 1．______
Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. 2．______ But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks.
3．______ Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first.
But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. Sometimes people are likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. 4．______
Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves some people just want to make sure the artworks are real. But there’s a larger truth. 5．______ Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving (雕刻) goes, so as to better understand the artistic skills, in this way, touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past.
A．It helps to show respect for the ancient artists.
B．You stop 100 people touching and there are 200 more.
C．Visitors learn more about objects from reading signs around.
D．You can’t really learn more about objects unless you touch them.
E．But the bigger ones prefer to advertise themselves as no touching.
F．Museums have come a long way since the time of the curiosity room.

Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽、开花) earlier in some cities Scientists finally found the answer but it’s not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which shows the arrival of the spring season.
Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the harmful effect of outdoor lighting such as streetlights. Too much light at night destroys natural cycles and makes it hard to see stars and planets. It harms the environment more than we realize.
By studying some trees, Researchers found out that trees lit by man-made lights at night start to bud about 7.5 days earlier than trees in natural darkness. And they found out that light had a more important effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard French Constant, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of nature. “At the moment, caterpillars (毛毛虫) are born at just the right time to eat the new leaves that trees grow, and birds are born at the right time to eat these young caterpillars. But, when man-made lights make trees grow leaves earlier, it can mess up this natural timing and cause problems for both the caterpillars and the birds.” he said.
We need to do more research on how light pollution affects nature. If the problem was left to continue, it is believed that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today.
6．______ Harms Natural Cycles
Reason Result
Too much man-made lights cause trees to grow leaves 7．______. Because of the reason, the 8．______ of nature is broken. Example
Suggestion: We need to do more research to 10．______ the problem.
