This movie is very interesting. Besides giving people pleasure, the movie tells people that one does great things they think they can’t because of their own problems.
In the movie, Eliot, Sedgewick and George are three vegetable friends who work as waiters at Pirate (海盜) Times Dinner Theatre. They are not happy about their dirty and boring job, so they all day desire to have the day when they can give up their job and do something great like becoming stars in the pirate show. But with Elliot’s shyness, Sedgewick’s laziness and George’s lack of self-confidence, their dream may seem to be only a dream.
However, things will always change. Lucky things will also come to those good for nothing. One day a magic ball from the sky falls at their feet. It is a “Helpseeker (尋找助手)”, sent from another period and place to look for heroes. After watching the three friends carefully, it sets in motion (讓……動起來) events that will send them back to the 17th century to go on a pirate adventure to rescue a royal family from a tyrant (暴君). They get rid of a lot of dangers and difficulties while rescuing the royal family. At last they defeat the tyrant and rescue the royal family. As a result, they become the most unlikely heroes you have ever seen. Through the experiences, the three friends find out that a hero doesn’t have to be strong, tall or smart and a vegetable can become a hero.

We all know that language can sometimes get lost in translation. But do you know that some facial小題1:may also be小題2:in cross-cultural situations?
According to a study by Glasgow University, Europeans look小題3: a person's whole face 小題4:people from East Asia focus 小題5:on the eyes. Researchers recorded the eye movements of 13 Westerners and 13 Easterners as they observed pictures of expressive faces. They were asked to小題6:the pictures into the following categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.
The team found East Asians focus much more attention on the eyes and also make a  小題7:number of mistakes. Different from Europeans, they小題8: to have a more difficult time  小題9: the difference between a face that looks fearful as opposed to surprised, and disgusted as opposed to angry.
"Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth小題10:, whereas Easterners小題11:the eyes and neglect the mouth," said researcher Rachael Jack. "This means that Easterners have小題12: in telling apart facial expressions that look similar around the eye region."
Jack said that the differences in eye movement reflected a cultural小題13:in the way people use their faces to express themselves. Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth 小題14: .
The difference in the use of text message "emoticons" (表情符號)小題15: the idea. Easterners use the eyes to小題16: emotion, for example "^-^" for happy and "┬_┬" for sad. Westerners,小題17:, use the mouth, for example ":-)" for happy and ":-(" for sad.
The researchers said their results showed communication between people is much more小題18: than previously thought. When it 小題19: communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners can find themselves小題20: in translation.

Every Christmas, we visit my parents who live nearly 400 miles away from us. It is always 9 to 10-hour drive, but we always try to make it because that’s the only time my parents get to see their grandchildren.
One year, I was the driver, my wife Adriana was in the passenger seat, my three kids----Jacob, Ethan and Caleb----sat in the back seat, and our dog Susie was placed by the kids’ feet.
That year, we traveled at night to avoid the heavy holiday traffic. We left the house at about 9:00 in the evening, so we could get to my parents’ house by about 6:00 the next morning.
The first three hours was fine. My wife and kids were all fast asleep, including Susie who was lying on Jacob’s lap. But by around 1 am, I was very sleepy. So I stopped at a small convenience store and tried to wake myself up with a cup of coffee. The coffee helped for several miles. But soon I was drifting in and out of sleep. I closed my eyes for what felt like a very short moment. What I didn’t know was that I was slowly driving towards the other lane and that a truck was coming quickly towards us.
I had fallen asleep at the wheel when Susie roughly woke me up by jumping onto my lap. When I opened my eyes, I saw the glaring headlights of the truck heading towards our car. I quickly drove the car back to our lane. I had narrowly missed hitting the truck and getting my family into what could have been a very serious accident.
I checked everyone to see if they were OK, and they were still fast asleep. I drove the rest of the distance very alert and awake. As soon as we got there, I told my wife, my kids and my parents what Susie had done and we could not have been more proud of our dog.
56. Why does the author visit his parents with his family every Christmas?
A. Because Christmas is the only time he can relax every year.
B. Because his parents don’t like the 400-mile travel.
C. Because he missed his parents very much.
D. Because his parents can only see their grandchildren at that time.
57. What did the author do to wake himself up during the journey?
A. He got off the car to breathe the fresh air.
B. He stopped to have a cup of coffee.
C. He talked with his wife and children.
D. He stopped every few miles.
58. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. the author’s wife and kids had no idea about the narrow escape during the journey
B. the author was so frightened by the truck that he could hardly drive for the rest of the
journey
C. no one but Susie kept awake for the whole journey
D. the author had never experienced a car accident before
59. The passage tells us a story about ______.
A. a poor driver’s first driving experience
B. how the author’s family spent their Christmas
C. how a dog saved a whole family
D. the disadvantages of driving at night

The Worst Part
Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.
I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.
“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”
I thought about that.
“Something on your mind?” he asked.
“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.
“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”
I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.
There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.
“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”
“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”
41．From the story we know that______ .
       A．Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays    B．Leigh was a deserted boy
       C．Leigh’s dad lived in another city          D．Leigh’s mother often went to golf games
42．What happened to Bandit?
       A．It was frozen to death.    B．It was let out of the cab and got lost
       C．It was killed by a truck.   D．It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.
43．The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on” probably means “ ______ ”.
       A．Listen to reason        B．Stop talking  C．Calm down    D．Keep warm
44．The worst part in Leigh’s eyes may be that______ .
       A．his dad got remarried      B．his parents got divorced
       C．his dad didn’t love him   D．his mom didn’t take him to pizza

A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth.
Until now, it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience — what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught（though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing）.
But in the new study, researchers describe a method for improving this skill, along with experiments to prove it works.
The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it. This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence, so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.
First they measured the fluid intelligence of four groups of volunteers using standard tests. Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game, in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard. During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance, manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.
The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively. To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills, the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.
The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were striking. Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater. Moreover, the longer they trained, the higher their scores were. All performers, from the weakest to the strongest, showed significant improvement.
“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper. No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops, he added, and the experiment’s design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains.
64. The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was______.
A. memorizing telephone numbers                   B. improving working memory
C. training in concentration                               D. recalling a card
65. The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence Except_______.
A. ignoring irrelevant items                          B. monitoring ongoing performance
C. managing two tasks at the same time                D. using previous experience
66. When the experiment was conducted, the researchers ______.
A. trained the four groups for the same period of time
B. only made comparisons between the four groups
C. compared the four groups with control groups           D. trained the four groups together
67. By writing the article, the writer intends to_____.
A. inform the readers of a new study              
B. call on people to be trained to increase intelligence
C. prove one’s born brainpower can be improved
D. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed ，we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing . I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).
66. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was _____for Father and Son.
A. hard      B. enjoyable       C. painful      D. comfortable
67. The word “quit” in the passage means “______”.
A. carry on    B. put off      C. give up      D. pick up

A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain. 
B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.

C. thought the writer was young, he could understand his father.
D. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain.
