24、Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. A month after he was born, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.

Although Billy can’t see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old.

Billy’s dream school would be Stanford University or MIT, where he could get a very good education in computer science. After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided. However, he says he will definitely (绝对地) do something great.

25、How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.

People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.

Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.

In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”

Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.

【1】The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.

A. make a survey  B. interest readers

C. tell a story  D. solve math problems

D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.

【3】Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians?

A. They have only a few words for numbers

B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers

C. They can only count to five on their fingers

D. They can understand different ideas about numbers

【4】The study of the Piraha tribe shows that____

A. people all over the world know how to count

B. People of the tribe have words for number

C. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count

D, Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe

【5】 What is the main idea of the passage?

26、There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.

Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.

The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.

【1】The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.

A. a red box is heavier than a white one

B. a color has weight in one’s mind

C. white paper is lighter than red paper

D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it

【2】Why did the scientist say colors have smell?

A. Because people can sense the light from colors.

B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.

C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.

D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.

【3】If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will _________.

A. rise  B. fall

C. stay the same  D. change now and then

【4】This passage is probably a ___________.

A. book review（评论）  B. fiction novel

C. fairy tale D. science report

27、Coca-Cola is probably the world’s most popular and famous soft drink. It was invented in 1886, and it is still going strong today.

Coca-Cola was first invented by John Pemberton, a man in Atlanta, USA. In 1886, he made up a new kind of medicine for tiredness and headaches. Two of the most important ingredients(成分) at that time were coca(古柯) leaves and kola nuts(可乐果)—and that’s how the drink got its name. Pemberton sold the first glass in May, 1886 in Atlanta. But it tasted terrible, and as a result almost nobody wanted to buy it.

Later, a businessman called Asa Candler wanted to make Coca-Cola a drink instead of a medicine. He mixed it with water and carbon dioxide (CO₂) and it worked. Everybody wanted to buy it and in only a few years Coca-Cola became the national drink of the United States. Until 1899 people could not take the soft drink away from shops to drink at home. They had to drink them in the shops. However, when the Coca-Cola drink became very popular, people wanted to take home bottles of it, so Mr. Candler agreed to sell it in bottles.

During the Second World War(二战), American soldiers drank three million bottles of Coca-Cola a day! They helped to spread the name and the taste of the drink all over the world. Today, nearly 300 million bottles are drunk every day around the world.
