纸箱、碎玻璃、旧门、刷过漆的栏杆。这就是美国艺术家雷迪克在上海的家。你可能会觉得他住在垃圾场里。但雷迪克称他的房子为一个画廊。
到目前为止，这位艺术家已经在上海待了13年。他喜欢在城市里四处走走，收集“垃圾”。之后，他会把这些“无用的”物品变成艺术品。
雷迪克在大学时就开始用回收材料创作艺术作品。他第一次来中国是为了参观2010年上海世博会。然而，在这座城市待了几天后，他决定不想离开了。他已经彻底爱上了上海。
现在，雷迪克总是很乐意带人们参观他的“画廊”。他会解释每件作品的背景故事。以《生命之门》为例。雷迪克从上海的不同角落收集了这些门。他用自己的现代艺术作品覆盖在这些门上。在创作这些艺术品时，这位艺术家经常会想出一些诗句。然后这些诗句会被画在门上。雷迪克一直对门很感兴趣。他说门传递着“重要的信息，当一扇门关闭时，另一扇门会打开”。
今年，雷迪克将带着他的一些作品前往欧洲。这位艺术家想要和世界分享他在上海的经历。“所有这些作品都像我的家人一样。我永远不会停止用回收材料创作艺术作品，”他说。
下次你想要扔掉某样东西的时候，再仔细看看它。正如雷迪克所说，我们应该始终“让门保持敞开”。

二、阅读理解
Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip (嘴唇) readers too. It happens during the period when a baby's babbling (咿呀声) slowly changes from unclear voices into that first "mama" or "dada". The babies have to find out how to shape their lips to make the sounds they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.
Clearly it doesn't take them too long to understand the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look at you in the eye again. It offers more clues that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.
But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or French to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-old babies gazed (凝视) mostly into her eyes. The 6-month-old babies spent equal amounts (数量) of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-month-old babies and 10-month-old babies studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back towards the speaker's eyes.
But what happened when these babies who are used to English heard French? The 12-month-old babies studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to understand the new sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语) that shows babies' brains adjust themselves to tell the differences between the sounds of their first language and other languages in the first year of life.
The continued lip reading shows the 1-year-old babies clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study, says Duke University cognitive scientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fantastic that he wants to know more.

A. Playing baby DVDs nearby.
B. Teaching babies to read English.
C. Speaking with babies face to face.
D. Speaking different languages in front of babies.
3. Which of the following shows the right change of babies' eye gaze according to the text?
4. What would be the best title of the text?
A. Babies have different methods to talk
B. Babies try lip-reading in learning to talk
C. Babies are suitable to learn two languages

二、阅读理解
婴儿不仅仅通过听声音来学习说话。他们也是“读唇者”。这种情况发生在婴儿的咿呀声从模糊的声音慢慢变成第一个“妈妈”或“爸爸”的时期。佛罗里达大西洋大学的发展心理学家大卫·莱科维茨领导了这项研究，他表示，婴儿必须弄清楚如何塑造自己的嘴唇来发出他们听到的声音。
显然，他们不需要太长时间就能理解与基本声音相匹配的动作。到一岁时，婴儿开始重新转变，再次与你对视。这提供了更多线索，表明与婴儿进行高质量的面对面交流对语言发展非常重要，而不是，比如说，播放最新的婴儿DVD。
但莱科维茨更进一步。他和他的学生艾米·汉森·蒂夫测试了近180名婴儿，他们的年龄分别为4个月、6个月、8个月、10个月和12个月。怎么做的呢？他们给说英语的婴儿播放了一位女士说英语或法语的视频。他们发现，当说话者说英语时，4个月大的婴儿大多凝视她的眼睛。6个月大的婴儿花在看眼睛和嘴巴上的时间相等。8个月大的婴儿和10个月大的婴儿主要研究嘴巴。到12个月时，注意力开始重新转向说话者的眼睛。
但是，当这些习惯了英语的婴儿听到法语时会发生什么呢？12个月大的婴儿研究嘴巴的时间更长，就像更小的婴儿一样。他们需要额外的信息来理解新的声音。这与双语研究相符合，该研究表明婴儿的大脑在生命的第一年会自我调整，以区分他们的母语和其他语言的声音。
持续的读唇表明1岁的婴儿显然仍然适合学习。杜克大学的认知科学家格雷格·阿佩尔鲍姆说，婴儿很难研究，他觉得这项研究非常棒，以至于他想了解更多。
1. 根据第一段，婴儿______A____。
A. 可能通过读唇得到“妈妈”这个声音
B. 喜欢弄清楚如何塑造自己的嘴唇
C. 仅仅通过听声音来学习说话
D. 通过肢体语言交流
2. 根据莱科维茨的说法，发展婴儿的语言能力需要什么？
A. 在附近播放婴儿DVD。
B. 教婴儿读英语。
C. 与婴儿面对面说话。
D. 在婴儿面前说不同的语言。
3. 根据文章，以下哪项显示了婴儿目光注视的正确变化？
4. 这篇文章的最佳标题是什么？
A. 婴儿有不同的说话方法
B. 婴儿在学习说话时尝试读唇
C. 婴儿适合学习两种语言
D. 婴儿能轻易接受一门外语
