22、What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed. Today about 15% of the number of people is left-handed. 【1】? The answer is the way the brain works. The brain has two halves----the left half and the right half. The right half controls the left side of the body, and the left controls the right side of the body. 【2】 and left-handed people have a strong right brain.

The two halves of the brain are about the same size. 【3】. The left side controls language, maths and logic. When you remember new words, or when put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colour and music. It is also good at recognizing face.

【4】, and all accountants(会计师) are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right brain, and some left-handers have a strong left brain.

24、“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice.

【1】From the passage, we learn that many Chinese students dream about studying abroad to_______.

A. taste a new life

B. make a lot of money

C. learn about the world

D. learn to look after themselves

【2】The writer thinks _______ should be considered first before students study abroad.

A. places   B. time   C. money   D. language

A. Chinese teachers are better than American ones

B. studying abroad is not the right choice.

C. people can also be successful in China if they work hard.

D. Liu Xiang was a gold medal winner.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Studying abroad will cost students’ families a lot of money.

B. Studying abroad will make it easy for students to learn well.

C. Studying abroad will help students to improve language skills.

D. the story of studying abroad

25、How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park?I believe the answer must be “YES”. We should walk into nature so that we can enjoy the natural beauties around.

       Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.

       As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a math test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group.

       The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can trigger positive feelings and a sense of peace. Being in nature can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.

       Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. And South Korea (韩国) is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature.g

       Nature holds a special kind of energy: it is pure and wild and spirit-renewing. In a word, we human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.

【1】What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 4 mean? ________

A．Cause.

B．Improve.

C．Help.

D．Reduce.

【2】What do the results of the studies show? ________

A．More and more Canadians will live near parks.

B．The math test is difficult and makes people nervous.

C．Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier.

D．People’s heart rates get slower in a 3D-virtual-reality room.

【3】What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?   ________

A．Nature is more important than cities.

B．Country life is healthier than city life.

C．People have lived in the cities for so long.

D．Nature should be part of people’s daily life.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?   ________

A．31,000 healthier people live near parks in Toronto.

B．A new shopping mall with a large garden will be built in Dubai.

C．10% of teenagers spend time in national parks every day in the USA.

D．About 13 million schoolchildren visit new forests every year in South Korea.

27、It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”

It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random(不经意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.

Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting(承认) that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.

Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.

“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby(破败的) schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”

The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!

【1】Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?

A. She knew the car drivers well.   B. She wanted to show kindness.

C. She hoped to please others.   D. She had seven tickets.

【2】Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ______.

A. thought it was beautifully written   B. wanted to know what it really meant

C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall   D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom

【3】Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?

A. Judy Foreman.   B. Natalie Smith.   C. Alice Johnson.   D. Anne Herbert.

【4】Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?

A. Kindness and violence can change the world.

B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.

C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.

D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.

【5】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.

B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.

C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.

D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.

28、When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I said at the dinner table, “My teacher told us to bring a box, a special box, for our Valentines（情人节）on Monday.”

Mother said, “We’ll see”, and she continued e【1】. What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box, or my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my project.

All Saturday I waited unhappily and with Sunday arriving, my care increased, but I knew the need about the box might cause anger or loud voice, f【2】 in my house children only asked once. More than that invited trouble.

Late Sunday morning, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful paper of different kinds. An e【3】 shoebox rested on top of it. Daddy said, “Let’s get started on your project.”

In the next hour my father c【4】 the shoebox into a wonderful valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so pleased that a big smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked. I answered him with a hug. But inside, joy danced all the way to my heart. It was the f【5】 time that my father spent so much time with me.

The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards and p【6】 into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until school was over. On the way home, I held my valentine box carefully. The love that filled it meant m【7】 to me than all inside.

The valentine box became a symbol of his love that lasted through other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none ever compared with the love I felt within the limits of this old, empty shoebox.
