【題目】 The 21st century discoveries about the human brain and its functioning have showed the surprising fact that human abilities are not fixed at birth. In other words, what you are able to do with your life is not fixed when you are born. It is not all in the genes( 基 因 ). It is not just nature: nurture(教育, 培育) plays an important part in the moulding(塑造) of what a person is, and what he/she can be.
Brain plasticity(可塑性) or neuroplasticity(神經(jīng)可塑性) refers to the amazing ability of the human brain to modify(修改) its structure and functions according to the changes within the body and/or in the outer environment.
In his book “The Brain that Changes Itself” psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., offers an introduction to the great scientists strongly supporting neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they’ve changed. The book describes real life stories of stroke( 中 風(fēng) ) patients learning to speak again, and the amazing story of a woman born with half a brain that restructured itself to work as a whole. It is a book that changes the way we think about our brain, its nature, and its potential(潛能).
The genes we receive from our parents are finite(有限的), no doubt about that. However, our brain’s ability to develop is infinite. New brain cells are being born all the time, and to keep them alive and growing, we have to stimulate(刺激) them.
Here lies the promise of neuroplasticity in the moulding of children into adults who are capable of realizing their potential. For genius is nothing but a human being who has realized his/her inborn potential! What Mozart, Einstein and da Vinci had was inborn potential plus(和,外加) the right environment.
All geniuses started life in exactly the same way. They had parents who supported the development of their individual gifts and talents. They had the right environment and stimuli(刺激, 刺激物) that led to the best development of themselves.
You can think about your child’s gifts as the merging(融合的) colours of a rainbow. The
possibilities are endless. All children are born with three natural abilities that provide them with the potential to think like a genius: the abilities to think, to learn and to develop their own individual way of thinking and learning.
Can your child be a genius? Yes, he/she can be, if you give him/her the right environment, the right stimuli and the right guidance.
【1】What does the human brain modify when the outer environment changes?
A.The world.B.The stimuli.
C.Its colour.D.Its structure and functions.
【2】Which statement is true according to the passage?
A.Human abilities are fixed when they were born.
B.A stroke patient can never learn to speak again.
C.Nurture can mould of what a person is because our brain has its nature and potential.
D.The genes we receive from our parents completely decide what we can do or can’t do.
【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 7?
A.Discovering the time your child can be a genius.
B.Discovering the gifts and talents of your child.
C.Discovering the reason your child wants to be a genius.
D.Discovering the colour of the natural abilities of your child.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is your child a genius?B.Can your child be a genius?
C.Do you want to be a genius?D.Is it important to be a genius?

【題目】 There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough.
According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100, 000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.
Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as "lazy". Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert(專家)in sleep. He says, "Sleep is like a credit(信用卡)card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to "pay back" the hours on your 'sleep credit card'."
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more."
【1】What does "sleep-deprived" mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Having a good sleep.B.Excited about sleep.
C.Having less sleep.D.Interested in sleep.
【2】Why does Dr. James Maas say "sleep is like a credit card"?
A.Because we should pay money back.B.Because we can borrow time.
C.Because we must pay back if we sleep less.D.Because we can borrow money.
【3】What do the words of the famous person mean in the last paragraph?
A.Sleeping during the night is foolish.B.Sleeping during the night is helpful.
C.People have no courage.D.People always do less work.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.The Value of SleepB.The Value of Study
C.The Ways of Eating LessD.The Ways of Making Money

【題目】 My father was born in a small town in the US. He wanted to get out and begin a new adventure. He began that adventure by traveling to different cities in the US before going on to other countries. He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.
It's easy to feel lonely when you're on the road. As my mother said repeatedly ,“We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were workers who fix cars, since we often spent hours in repair shops during the journey."
Getting along sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back-seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness. When in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour drive but was nearly three, thanks to bad roads and worse traffic.“Did you put our suitcases (行李箱) in the car?" My father asked my mother as we arrived. "No," she said. "I thought you did." That
was how a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence. In situations like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger. We were stuck (困在) in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like moving universities to us. We earned our PhDs(博士學(xué)位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in that old car.
【1】Who did the writer’s family make many friends with on their trip?
A.Other travelers.B.Shop owners.C.Car repair workers.D.Tour guides.
【2】What does the underlined word "forgiveness" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.原諒B.放棄C.堅持D.遺忘
【3】What do we know about their trip in the Philippines?
A.They took a train to Quezon City.
B.The writer's mother lost their suitcases.
C.One of the writer's sisters was pushed out of the car.
D.They spent more time driving than they planned.
【4】What word would the writer use to describe these trips?
A.Adventurous.B.Educational.C.Boring.D.Surprising.
