28、   I’d been at Camp Eggleton for only two days before I got my nickname(绰号) ,Screaming Toad(尖叫的蛤蟆).

When we were on our first nature walk, a tree frog dropped onto my shirt from the branches above. I screamed. I didn't even know I could make a sound like that. Most kids laughed it off and forgot about it. But Stan wouldn’t let it go.

Three days later, Mr. Matt told us we would play a game. The two-person team to find the most treasures hidden in the woods gets something cold. Thoughts of ice cream froze on our brains.

Mr. Matt started reading off pairs of names. My nerves(神经) got completely fried when he said, “And finally, Jay and Stan.”

“If the mosquitoes(蚊子) are biting you, just ask Screaming Toad to eat them for you.” Stan called to the group. One kid laughed, but most of them were already concentrating on looking for treasures.

Then I had an idea,“You know, Stan, if we split up, we’ll have a better chance of finding stuff.” Stan shrugged (耸肩)and walked down the path alone.

Ten minutes later, I heard something that reminded me of myself a few days ago. I ran toward the sound. Stan was jumping around like a monkey, screaming and yelling: “Ants! Ants!”

I led him into a mud puddle(泥坑). He was surprised at first, then he must have realized why I was doing it. The itch(痒) was going away and so were the ants.

“I guess you’re going to have a pretty good story for everyone later.”Stan said worriedly.

“Yeah, I guess so. You’ll probably be known as Dancing Ant from now on.”

That night, we all sat around the campfire. I could see Stan’s worry as clear as daylight. He was waiting for it. But I never said anything. I knew how it felt to be laughed at.

The next day was Game Day. When I was picked for a basketball team, someone called, “No fair! Screaming Toad’s a natural Jumper!”

Stan yelled out, “Knock it off. His name is Jay.”

【1】Why did Joy get his nicknames？

A.He signed up for Camp Eggleton.

B.He shouted loudly when the frog fell on his clothes.

C.Stan gave him the nicknames because of his bravery.

D.The other boys thought it cool to be called like that.

【2】Which word can replace the underlined phrase “split up” in Paragraph 6?

A.United. B.Separated.

C.Apologised. D.Shared.

【3】Why did Jay bring Stan to the mud puddle?

A.To make Stan calm down. B.To give him a chance to say sorry.

C.To drive away the ants and the itch. D.To prevent Stan from hurting himself.

【4】What can we learn from the story?

A.Actions speak louder than words.

B.Everyone’s efforts are very important.

C.A good beginning makes a good ending.

D.Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to yourself.

29、   Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.

Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.

A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.

The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.

【1】The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “________”.

A. association B. damage

C. pattern D. improvement

【2】According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?

A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.

B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.

C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.

D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.

B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.

C. The cell phone network type has little to do the cell phone use.

D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.

【4】According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in

A. matching numbers B. reading signals

C. remembering shape D. learning words

【5】What might be the best title for the text?

A. Cell phone use and safety warnings

B. Facts about cell phone use at school

C. Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens

D. Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems
