Dr.Ferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure,and in person directed the construction of his balloon.For a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the Arab language and the various Mandingoe idioms,and,thanks to his talents in language,he had made rapid progress.
In the meanwhile,his friend,the sportsman,never let him out of
his sight-afraid,no doubt,that the doctor might take his departure,without saying a word to anybody.On this subject,he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments,which,however,did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson,and wasted his breath,by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved.In fine,Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers.
? The poor Scot was really to be pitied.He could not look upon the
blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep,he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around;and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights.
We must add that,during these nightmares,he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall.“And yet,”he
would add,with warmth,“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think,then!”
This appeal,full of sad meaning as it was,did not seem to touch the doctor's heart.Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested;and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural:“‘Our’balloon,‘our’ car ;‘our’expedition.”
???? Dick trembled at them,although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend.Let us also disclose the fact that,without knowing exactly why himself,he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing,and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms.
1.Why did Dr.Ferguson start to learn new languages?
A.To keep himself occupied.
B.To get ready for the departure.

C.decided to take the adventure with the doctor at last
D.equipped himself with arms to frighten his friend

A research found that people shown silent videos of piano competitions could pick out the winners more often than those who could also hear the music. It underlines the importance of our sense of vision, say scientists. Their study concludes that the best predictor of a winner’s musical performance was the visible passion they displayed, followed closely by their uniqueness and creativity.
Chia-Jung Tsay, from University College London, UK, is the study’s author and herself a concert pianist. She was interested in how music was judged and found that even professional musicians were unaware of how much they were using visual information over sound. “For the last two decades, I’ve taken part in various competitions. Through this experience, I found that depending on what type of evaluations were used, the results might vary widely. This led me to wonder about how much visual information really affects these important decisions,” she explained.
More than 1,000 participants in the study were given samples of either audio, silent video or video with sound, and asked to rate the top three finalists from 10 international classical music competitions. The actual competition winners were only correctly identified by those who were randomly assigned(分配) the silent videos.
Dr Tasy said the findings were quite surprising, especially because both trained musicians and those without training had stated that sound was most important for their evaluation. “Regardless of levels of expertise, we still seem to be led primarily by visual information, even in this field of music,” she said. “Classical music training is often focused on improving the quality of the sound, but this research is about getting to the bottom of what is really being evaluated at the highest levels of competitive performance. She added, “We must be more mindful of our inclination(倾向) to depend on visual information at the expense of the content that we actually value as more relevant to our decisions.”
1.According to the study, who would most probably win a piano competition?
A. One who plays with great passion.
B. One who plays unique music.
C. One who plays creatively.
D. One who has a sense of vision.
2.The participates in the study were asked to__________.
A. watch classical music competitions
B. assign the silent videos
C. pick out the best three competitors
D. decide who the winner is
3.What probably led Dr Tsay to carry out the study?
A. Her love for music.
B. Her desire to explore.
C. Her experience as a competitor.
D. Her curiosity in musical education.
4.Where does this text probably come from?
A. A text book. B. A sports magazine.
C. A story book. D. A science website.
