What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival? I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(傷害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(損害) affect”.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(減弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(數(shù)量) of detail(細節(jié)) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?
小題1: When we take photos, we _________.
A.fail to focus on the event itself
B.can’t record the details
C.remember what we have seen
D.a(chǎn)re likely to have a poor memory
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?
A.People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment.
B.They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.
C.The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
D.People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.
小題3:According to the passage, we’d better _________.
A.never use our cameras
B.remember an event by heart
C.a(chǎn)lways remember an event with the help of a camera
D.see everything only with our own eyes
小題4:What do the results of the experiment show us?
A.The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.
B.People remember happiest moments by taking photos.
C.Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.
D.People don’t like taking photos.
小題5:Where can we probably read this passage?
A.The entrance of a museum.
B.A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
C.An instruction of how to use a camera.
D.A scientific report.

Character, courage and confidence are words you might use to describe your heroes. These words can describe you! Take action as follows and you’ll be a hero, too!
Part 1: Character
Character is something that makes you the person you are like being honest, friendly, and helpful. See the chart below. On the left is our standard of good character. Write down your promise for each line on the right. Then, get a witness(證人)to sign it. Put it up where you’ll see it every day and do your best to keep it.
To build your character
Your promise
I will do my best to…
 
be honest and fair.
eg. I’ll tell the truth when mom asks if I have finished my homework.
be friendly and helpful.
eg. I’ll help my friend with lessons.
be polite and kind.
eg. I’ll show good manners in class.
be courageous and strong.
eg. I’ll take part in the English singing contest.
Part 2: Courage
Of course it’s going to take a lot of courage t keep your promise. Courage is challenging yourself to do something even though you think it might be hard. For each promise, find out two or three ways to help you keep it. For example, if you think that Being Honest is the hardest promise for you to keep, one of the ways might be “Tell people about my promise so that I won’t break it”.
Part 3: Confidence
Confidence is believing that you have the skills to do something. Do you have a beautiful singing voice? Are you a good painter? There are all talents that can make you feel good, as well as the people around you. Once you’ve decided what your special skill is, think about how you can use your skill to make your corner of the world a better place. If you’re good at art, try painting a picture on an old wall in your school (of course, make sure you’re allowed).
小題1:According to the writer, a hero should be           .
A. beautiful                  B. confident              C. good-looking
小題2:If your promise is “I’ll show good manners in class,” you’re trying to be           .
A. useful                   B. polite                 C. brave

A. Do your best to keep your promise.            
B. Write down your promise.
C. Look at your promise every day.
小題4:If someone asks you for help, you will be               .
A. honest                   B. strong                 C. helpful

The trees have been on the earth for millions of years.  小題1: Disease(疾病) is destroying trees. For example, in the 1970s, many trees in Europe were killed by disease.
小題2: This new danger attacks all the forests and woods of Europe from northern Sweden to southern Italy. First the branches turn yellow and brown. Then the trees’ leaves fall. The roots and the trunk shrink(萎縮). Finally the trees die. In the Black Forest in southern Germany, 75%of the trees have been destroyed or killed.
小題3: Nobody knows exactly, but it is probably air pollution or acid rain(酸雨). Factories, power stations and cars give off tons of smoke with acid into the air. Sunlight turns these into something harmful which fall with rain or snow onto the trees.
What can be done about acid rain? 小題4:
Acid rain doesn’t always fall on the countries which produce the pollution. The wind carries it from one country to another. Badly, the governments don’ t want to spend money on it if it won’ t harm the trees in their own countries.
小題5: The rainforests of Asia and South America are being cut down for firewood and building materials. Something must be done. If the trees die, we will, too.
根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容,從下面五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項,使短文意思通順,內(nèi)容完整。
A.What is killing the trees?
B.But today trees are in great danger.
C.Trees are also killed by people.
D.Now an even greater danger is destroying trees.
E. Why don’t the governments do something to save the trees?
