It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he op­erated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s tempera­ture was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

1.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.

A. the time is too short for doctors

B. the patients are often too nervous

C. the damage is extremely hard to fix

D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

2.The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.

A. taking the blood out of the brain

B. trying the operation on monkeys first

C. having the blood go through a machine

D. lowering the brain' s temperature

3.With Dr. White' s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.

A. can last as long as 30 minutes

B. can keep the brain' s blood warm

C. can keep the patient' s brain healthy

D. can help monkeys do different jobs

4.What is the right order of the steps in the operation?

a. send the cooled blood back to the brain

b. stop the blood to the brain

c. have the blood cooled down

d. operate on the brain

A. a,b,c,d B. c,a,b,d

C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a

In our daily life,friends are needed. Everyone likes feeling close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.

No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will feel good.

The ____ plea (懇求) went viral, and Only’s foster agency ____ calls from more than 10,000 people, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Only ____ traveling to Ohio to live with a minister’s family. But after Only got into a physical ____ with one of his older would-be siblings (兄弟姐妹), the minister and his wife changed their minds.

Back in Florida, Only passed through four different ____ homes over the next year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption caseworker, to make a special ____ .

Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him but she always ____. “I always believed there was a better family than us out there,” Going tells Yahoo Parenting. “He ____ so much in this world.”

But this past July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going says something felt ____ . “In adoption there is a ‘claiming moment,’ when you know someone is your child. When he called me to ask, in that moment, I just knew,” she says. “When he asked me, my heart felt this ____ and I just knew he was my son.”

So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time ____ the rest of her family — the other four children who she also adopted out of foster care. ____ , Going managed to rent a bigger home, got a lawyer, and started adoption ____ .

Only will officially join Going’s family on April 22, when the adoption ____ . “Today, I am feeling blessed and honored by being chosen to be the parent to all my children,” she says. “I work every day on being the best parent I can to them, to be patient and creative so that I can ____ all their needs.”

A spokesperson for Eckerd, Only’s foster agency, told the Tampa Bay Times they were ____ with the new development. “We are truly thrilled that Davion has been united with his forever family.“

While Going is waiting for the newest ____ to her family to become official in the eyes of the law, she says Only is already her child. “I want him to know he is ____ loved for who he is, the way he is,” she says. “The changes he chooses to make in his life, and the choices, are his to make. As a family we will be there through it all, the good and the bad for our lifetime. He is home.”

Online Movie Rentals

It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken. __1.__ Fortunately, many aspects of a country's culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language.

What to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time? Tired of going down to the video rental store to rent movies? __2.__

Most companies require customers to operate on the following model：

●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time.

●Watch the movies, often with no late fees.

● __4.__

●Check these sites for specific, up?to?date details.

Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn't a bad way to relax, but you won't learn much. While seeing a movie you should take notes of new expressions. Write them down and look them up in a good English?English dictionary to understand their possible meanings. __5.__ If you don't know how to use words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning.

A. Return the movies in a prepaid return envelope.

B. If you haven't finished on time, you can delay returning.

We are much happier in our new house because it has a large garden, and you know how enthusiastic we both are about gardening. When we moved in a month ago, Mary wanted to get a dog to keep out burglars. However, we finally decided that it would be cheaper to put an iron grille in front of the door and get a burglar alarm.

Last week, I went to a shop and bought an alarm for just over £200. It consists of a control unit with three smaller units. I put the control unit in the lounge and put the other units in place by the front door, back door and lounge windows.

That night I soon fell asleep because I was confident that no one could get into our house undetected. At about 1:50 a.m. I woke up suddenly and heard the siren. It was like an ambulance driving right through our bedroom. I couldn’t leave the siren on all night. I went downstairs in the dark. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I switched on the light and looked around. Oh my gosh. The back door was unlocked. I rushed to lock it and it was just at that exact moment that the ‘burglar’ disappeared behind a curtain. Guess what? It was an ordinary house lizard(蜥蜴).Apparently the alarm system had been made for American or European homes in which lizards are never seen. I switched the alarm off and sat down to watch. A few moments later, a lizard ran across a wall, right in front of one of the alarm units.

I won’t bother to finish this story but if you’d like a burglar alarm system free of charge, just let us know.

1.What do we know about the author and his wife?

A. They are pet lovers.

B. They love plants and flowers.

C. They are fond of catching lizards.

D. They hate technology.

2.What happened after they got the alarm system?

A. It worked unexpectedly.

B. It did not work.

C. A burglar broke into the house.

D. Their neighbors complained about it.

3.What will the author do after the incident?

A. He will sell the alarm to someone else.

B. He will buy a dog to keep out burglars.

C. He will fix the alarm system immediately.

D. He will file a complaint to the company.

4.How does the author sound when telling the story?

A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Cautious. D. Humorous.

When I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood. When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.

Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡樹(shù)) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.

Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and then, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.

I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.

The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.

1.What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?

A. To save more lives. B. To build a forest.

C. To make a lot of money. D. To study plants.

2.One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.

A. he often talked to the trees

B. he kicked the trees heavily

C. he never watered the trees

D. he buried the leaves around the roots

3.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. Trees are not as weak as we think.

B. Difficulty is necessary for growth

C. Planting trees is good for the environment.

D. We should listen to others’ advice.
