26、You can find just about any skill you want to learn on the Internet. Steve Jobs's appealing presentation style, Steph Curry's jumper, Michael Jackson's moonwalk—all of these are easily accessible. Clearly, instructional videos, how-to guides, and online tutorials have changed the way we learn.
Or have they? Watching experts' performances might make you feel that you could similarly perform the same skills. But new evidence suggests that learning by observation may sometimes be illusory. Observers come away feeling confident that they're well prepared to try the task out themselves, but when they do, they'll find that's a different matter.
Researchers have conducted an experiment involving the moonwalk. One hundred participants watched an expert doing the moonwalk. They were randomly assigned to see a moonwalk video cither once or 20 times continuously. They made predictions about their own moonwalk abilities and then attempted the moonwalk themselves. A video recorded their moonwalks and later their attempts were shown to an outside group of judges, who were blind to the number of times performers watched the training video. As a result, participants who watched 20 times and participants who watched once both predicted their scores, but the first group's predicted scores were higher. The judges gave similarly low ratings to both groups of participants.
Actually, when people watch videos, they see the performer's technique, but they don't feel it themselves. It's one thing to memorize what steps to take, but another thing to experience how those steps are worked out. People often miss subtleties while watching, and people are likely to underestimate the complexity of the skill, and overestimate their own abilities, after watching experts.
We're not saying that YouTube's tens of millions of instructional videos are useless. People get more out of watching after they have already attempted the skill, so try the skill yourself and then revisit your favorite how-to videos frequently to improve your technique. Learning skills takes time.

27、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Babies can swim before they can walk!
An inborn ability and growing acceptance.
For some parents, worried about even washing their new babies in a bath, the thought of putting them in a large swimming pool is terrifying. 【1】 That is because a small baby will supposedly not sink if thrown into deep water. “New-born babies are perfectly adapted to being put in water. They move under water naturally,” said Dr. Michel Odent, whose book We Are All Waterbabies was published this fall. And last year saw the World Aquatic Baby Conference in California, attended by experts from Canada, the US, Australia and other countries. 【2】 “Humans have a special relationship with water and the sea that apes don’t have,” added Odent.
【3】
In fact, baby-swimming is seen as a natural activity that encourages a baby’s physical development. Although we are genetically almost the same to apes, there are physical differences. 【4】 When early humans first crawled out to the sea to look for more food, they had to stand up right to keep their heads out of the water.
【5】
What’s more, the newest research shows that at least some areas of development, such as balance, are more advanced in “water babies”, while some other studies show that they have better social and intellectual skills.
A．Extra benefits.
B．Swimming with dolphins.
C．Human’s link to the sea and sea creature.
D．Although this fear is natural, it is not necessary.
E．They need to find someone to teach their new babies to love the water.
F．The idea that swimming before walking is good for babies is becoming more acceptable.
G．Those characteristics which are different—big brains and hairlessness—are also those we have in common with sea animals that give birth to babies and feed their young on milk.

29、The 24 solar terms (节气) are part of the traditional Chinese calendar. The Chinese people divided a year into 24 segments (片段) based on the sun’s position in the zodiac (黄道十二宫). 【1】 They reflect the changes of the seasons, climate and phenology (生物气候学). The Yellow River Basin in northern China is believed to be the cradle (摇篮) of the solar terms system.
【2】 They mark things like seasons, temperature, precipitation (降水), growth of the crops and weather conditions. Many farmers still rely on the solar terms to work in the fields.
Most of the solar terms bear with them rich social and cultural meanings. 【3】 The “Pure Brightness” is also referred to as Tomb-Sweeping Day, when people pay respect to those they have lost.
The ancient calendar remains relevant to this day. 【4】 The cultural legacy reflects the Chinese people’s respect for nature and tradition, their unique understanding of the universe, their wisdom to live in harmony with nature and the world’s cultural diversity, said Zhang Ling, an official with the Ministry of Culture in 2017.
It is the youth of China who can best help carry on this significant part of our culture. 【5】 Many young people have already been contributing their energy and strength to this feat. In fact, they have been living up to this challenge through rather artistic means. Many photos, essays and paintings have centered around the theme of the 24 solar terms and expressed the vitality and rich tradition of Chinese history.
A．Each segment is called a solar term.
B．For instance, during the “Start of Winter”, people eat dumplings.
C．The sun’s positions bring about many things related to human life.
D．Their wisdom for life and nature made the solar terms system popular today.
E．Their creativity and consciousness can bring new life to ancient culture.
F．Solar terms were instructions for agricultural production and people’s daily lives.
G．This has long been a central element of life in China, and we must protect it.
