24、   When Tom was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing too much housework. But when Tom was an adult, he had more job satisfaction, a better marriage (婚姻) and was healthier. Most of all, he was far happier.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more worthwhile lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained the ability to do things well and came to feel they were useful members of society," said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."

Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health (心理健康) scores with  their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problem.

The relationship between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with different people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been out of job. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

【1】What do we knew about Tom?

A.He got little love from his parents.

B.He enjoyed his career and marriage.

C.He had few friends in his childhood.

D.He was disliked by others when young.

A.a description of personal values and social values

B.an explanation why some boys grew into happy men

C.an example for parents' expectations of their children

D.an analysis of the relationship between work and ability

【3】Vaillant's team got their findings by ________.

A.studying the men's mental health

B.recording the boys' effort in school

C.comparing different sets of scores

26、

Art, as we know, is subjective. What one person considers a priceless masterpiece others might see as nothing more than a giant black square. But there’s one very specific kind of painting that almost everyone sees the same way — the kind with the “strange” eyes that seem to follow you around the room. So what causes this optical illusion (视觉错觉) and how do artists achieve this effect?

It turns out, for even a moderately skilled artist, this effect isn’t a difficult thing to achieve. In fact, the artists need to use a little illusion of depth, making the person depicted on the canvas appears somewhat 3D on a 2D canvas, and to adjust the gaze (凝视) of the eyes so that they would be looking at someone standing right in front of the picture.

So what exactly is going on here in our brains that then makes it seem like the eyes follow you even if you move away from being front and center? As demonstrated by a team of researchers from Ohio State University, as you move to the side, the “near” and “far” points of the 2D image don’t really change. These near and far points are defined as visible points that, if the image was 3D, would appear nearest and furthest away from the viewer at a given angle.

The idea is simple. No matter what angle you look at a painting from, the painting itself doesn’t change. You’re looking at a flat surface. The key is that the near points and far points of the picture remained the same no matter the angle the picture was viewed from. When observing real surfaces in the natural environment, the near and far points vary when we change viewing direction. When we observe a picture on the wall, the visual information that defines near and far points is unaffected by viewing direction. Still, we willingly accept and interpret the thing in the painting as if it were a real object.

Thus, because the perspective, shadows, and light on the painting don’t change as you move around, if the eyes in the painting would be staring directly at the observer who is standing in front of the painting, it creates something of an optical illusion in your brain so that the eyes will continue to seem to stare at you as you move to the side.

In contrast to the eyes following you trick, if the artist tweaks the painting a bit, for example the artist adjusts the gaze of the eyes so that the eyes are looking off somewhere else instead of directly looking at a potential observer, no matter where you stand, the eyes will never seem to be looking at you.

The technique first began popularly showing up in art around the 14th century when the artist and architect Fillipo Brunelleshi introduced the art world to the idea of “linear perspective”, being painting with the idea of everything in the picture converging (聚集) on a specific point on the horizon, creating the illusion of depth. Linear perspective, combined with skilled use of light and shadow allows artists to create masterfully realistic paintings, including sometimes of people that stare at you creepily no matter where you stand.

【1】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 1?

A.To lead in the question why staring eyes seem to follow us in a painting.

B.To make a comparison between a priceless masterpiece and a black square.

C.To introduce the topic that the optical illusion can make the painting look real.

D.To prove that people can think alike when they admire a certain kind of painting.

【2】What can't we learn from the passage?

A.The visible points of the image won’t change in the natural environment.

B.The near and far points of a painting are affected by our viewing direction.

C.The viewing direction of viewers can make the image in the painting look real.

D.The optical illusion in our brain makes us feel the eyes in the painting staring at us.

【3】The 3rd paragraph is mainly about ________.

A.who took part in the research.

B.how long the research lasted.

C.what was found in the research.

D.how the research was performed.

【4】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “tweek” in the passage?

27、Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test. It checks kids’ fitness levels. Students are tested at least twice a year. In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.

There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰卧起坐), push-ups(俯卧撑), sit and reach, endurance run or walk and shuttle run(折返跑). Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award.

The test encourages students to live a healthy and active life. Students taking the test are really testing their limits, according to the US National Association for Sport and Physical Education.

China has a similar test: the physical education(PE) test. Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong. They also finish activities like the endurance run, sit-ups and the shuttle run.

However, unlike students in the US who get awards, Chinese students get points in PE tests. The highest score is 100. For junior school students, the PE test is more important because it is worth 30 to 40 points in the entrance exam for senior high school. In order to get a good score, most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year.

28、 阅读下面短文， 按要求补全表格。(每空限填一词)

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.

Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
