How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大腦) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory.” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brains is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按鈕)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.
There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.
Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:
Eat healthy food.
Get a lot of playtime or exercise.
Don’t drink or smoke.
Use your brain a lot.
小題1: A British scientist found out that ________ could improve our memories.
A．drinkB．dreamsC．sleepD．bananas
小題2: According to the passage, if we want to have a good brain, we should ________.
A．use our brains moreB．sleep fewer hours
C．work longer hoursD．remember fewer things
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Our brains only work in the daytime.
B．Our brains need much energy every day.
C．Smoking can keep our brains healthy.
D．Getting exercise is good for our brains.

Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert(專家) in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on the effect of robotic dogs on old people’s depression (沮喪) , physical activity, and life satisfaction.
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data(數(shù)據(jù)) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate(與……相關(guān)) to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms(心律). AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate(刺激) older people’s minds.”
小題1:The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to _____________.
A．understand human-animal relationship
B．make lonely old people’s life better
C．find the causes of old people’s loneliness
D．improve the animal-assisted research
小題2: In the research, the old people are asked to _____________.
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C．record their feelings and activity
D．study the collected information
小題3:What does the underlined word “removes” mean?
A．moves againB．is movableC．doesn’t needD．need
小題4:What is the better point of AIBO than live dogs?
A．It is easier to keep at home.
B．It can help the disabled people.
C．It responds to all the human orders.
D．It can watch TV with its owner.
小題5:The writer seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may__________.
A．cure certain diseasesB．keep old people active
C．change people’s ideasD．look more like real dogs

Plant scientists consider them as fruit. Most other people think of them as vegetables. Whatever you call tomatoes, there are many different kinds of this popular and healthy food.
There are two groups of the plants. Small tomato plants grow to about one meter. They can be planted rather close together. Some short kinds do not require special care and are often gotten crop by machines. Large tomato plants can grow over two meters tall. They also produce larger fruits.
People who grow only a few plants can place wire cages around each one. The cage can be made of wire fence material. The cage helps the plant grow taller and produce a better crop.
Tomatoes often need extra calcium (Ca), or the fruits may be ruined. Add lime to the soil can solve this problem. Dry lands may also ruin the fruits. Tomatoes need water regularly. The soil should never dry out completely. Dried grass or leaves placed around the plant can help hold water in the soil and stop the growth of unwanted plants.
Tomatoes are native to South America. The tomato is a member of the potato family. The leaves of the plant are poisonous, like the leaves of its relatives. Before the 18th century, people grew tomatoes only as pretty plants. They called the bright red fruit a “l(fā)ove apple”, but would not eat it.
小題1:Which of the following is right about the small tomato plants?
A. They can grow to about 2 meters.    
B. They can’t be planted close together.
C. Some of them don’t require special care.
小題2:People place wire cages around the plant in order to ___________.
A. protect the plant from being taken by others.
B. help the plant grow taller and produce a better crop
C. keep the plant from being eaten by animals
小題3:The underlined word “ruin” probably means “___________”.
A. grow     B. destroy      C. stop    
小題4: People often give tomatoes extra calcium by ___________.
A. adding lime to the soil          B. watering the plant regularly
C. putting dried grass around the plant
小題5:What can we learn from the passage?
A. Tomatoes are native to North America.
B. The leaves of the plant can also be eaten.
C. Americans began to eat tomatoes from the 18th century.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test. ” he said. “And because I know you are all able to understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test. ’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that. but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons. whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight，80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However，there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗瑪峰)said，“We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves. ”

Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school，and my old school was far away. As a result，no one knew who I was. I was very lonely，and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing，I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day，when my classmates were talking happily with their friends，I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment，a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me，with a smile.
Suddenly，I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day，I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled，but he couldn't remember doing so！
It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely，you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though,
we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.
In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of（失去對….的意識） time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (腎上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(細(xì)節(jié))over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps（午覺）． Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive（感知） time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
小題1: According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long ?
A．weekends and holidaysB．weekends and work
C．classes and workD．holidays and work
小題2:Which is NOT the wrong impressions that we often have about time according to the website listing?
A．negative emotionsB．positive emotions
C．a(chǎn)drenaline D．scientists
小題3:According to the passage, in which situation do we make mistakes about time?
A．We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.
B．We have a math test when we fall down from a high place.
C．We may have trouble telling what time it is after a long nap.
D．We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.
小題4:According to the passage , what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger ?
A．Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B．We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C．Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D．We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
小題5:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
A．Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.
B．When we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.
C．If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly perceive time again
D．Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
