慢跑捡垃圾

country　invite　he　always　strange  when　spend　one　pick　kid

There is an old man in our neighbourhood who is very unusual. The first time I saw 【1】 running along the road, I could see he had something in his hands. I thought maybe it was a pair of gloves. But then, he slowed down, bent over and 【2】 up a piece of paper that was lying there. 【3】 I saw what he had in his hands, I realized that I was wrong.

This 【4】 old man became famous in our neighbourhood. He never talked to anyone, but whenever he went by, I would wave to him with a smile. He was 【5】 stopping to pick up garbage that people had thrown right on the street.

One day, we heard the news that while jogging, the strange old man was hit by a car and would have to 【6】 some time in the hospital. We also learned that he could not speak English very well, which was why he didn't talk to anyone.

In the country where Mr. Polanski grew up, there was no garbage on the street. So when he 【7】 saw people drop garbage on the street, it really upset him. He helped clean up the garbage so that he could be happy in this new 【8】.

Later, our school decided to have a run in the spring to pick up garbage, just like Mr. Polanski. He was even 【9】 to cut the ribbon for the first run.

We called it the “Polanski Run”. That day, hundreds of 【10】 jogged around the neighbourhood in groups, picking up garbage and putting it in bags. It became one of our school's annual events.

21、"Earworms", some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.

To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.

If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an "inner ear", for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.

Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous "don’t think of a white bear" problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to "shut up" is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!

【1】According to the passage, earworms are ______.

A.songs that keep going round in our mind

B.worms that live in a part of our brain

C.tunes by pop singers like Lady Gaga

D.parasites clearly under our control

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.

B.Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.

C.Humans do not have complete control over their mind.

D.You won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.

【3】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The instruction to shut up your mind.

B.“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.

C.Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head.

D.Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The causes and influences of earworms.

B.What earworms are and how to deal with them.

C.How to clear earworms out of your head.

D.The relation between earworms and popular songs.

22、Dear students,

I'm very happy to be your guest speaker today. It's a great pleasure to visit your school and meet all of you here. I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a reporter for the last fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. My work is sometimes boring, but for most of the time it is amazing. I have seen wars, earthquakes, poverty(353) and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.

In India, I visited a city. There were many homeless children in it. Some were young and lived in the streets. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In a whole year, she was looking after two hundred children, feeding them teaching them and giving them hope.

Her son was missing and people around her said that there was no chance that her son was alive. But the lady didn't give up hope. For four days, she kept moving heavy stones by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was still alive.

Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had to have twenty operations in

24、Last year, a special kind of glove came out. It was invented to help blind people to learn Brille, which is a special system for the blind to read by touching. Shaking motors (震动马达) are put on each finger of the glove. They can make different sounds to tell a user which letter he is touching. Recently, two British college students have invented another special glove for the blind. It can make the user feel small and quick movements. An ultrasonic sensor (超声波传感器) with a battery is put on the back of the glove. When the user wearing the glove is close to an object (物体), the ultrasonic waves (超声波) from the glove are sent out (发出). As soon as they hit the object in front, the waves will return to the glove. Then the waves cause the glove to shake. And the ultrasonic sensor makes different kinds of sounds. The sounds make the user know how far he is from the object.

In the college invention competition, the two students got first prize and won 1,540 pounds. One of the designers said, “Now the ultrasonic sensor on the glove is quite large. We’re going to use the money to develop a smaller and lighter ultrasonic sensor.”
