My favorite place to study is the self study room at academy. First, studying in an academy is quiet. At the study room, administrators always keep study room quiet. But at home, family members watch TV, and listen to music so it is noisy. I cannot concentrate at home, but I can concentrate well at the study room because it is quiet. Second, it is easy to manage my time at the study room. At the study room, bell which tells time to study or rest rings periodically. So I can manage time well by checking time to the bell ringing.

I’d prefer humorous stories that makes people laugh than serious stories makes people think. First, we can exchange many kinds of experience and stories. Funny things occur often in our daily life. So when we tell humorous stories each other, we can know about each other’s life. Second, all people can make sense about humorous stories. It is not as complicated as serious stories, because we do not need to think deep. So every person can enjoy humorous stories and join communication.

According to the reading passage, sensory receptors detect changes in internal and external environments by physically bending and stretching. The professor uses cats whiskers as an example of sensory receptors. Cats have well-developed touch receptors and whiskers are one of these touch sensory receptors. There are 12 whiskers on the upper lip and a few more on the cat's chin and cheek. They are planted 3 times deeper into a cat’s skin and are twice as thick as normal hair. The change in air current stimulates nerve endings and these nerves send images to brain. Whiskers can detect very slight motions such as air currents,which is typical of sensory receptors, so cats rely on that very heavily, especially when moving in the dark.
