12、g mean to you?” over the weekend. We could talk to our parents or anyone else we thought might have a good answer. 35 Monday, we were to hand in an essay（论文） on it, and be prepared to live up to our 36 . The entire weekend, I was trying to 37 something that would impress my teacher and be easy to li

13、ve by. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother and asked my neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didnt feel like I could live up to them. On Sunday afternoon, my parents said they were going to my Aunt Cindys house. That usually 38 that I would have to entertain my four-year-old cousin A

14、ndrea 39 my parents visited. I found a Disney movie for Andrea, and then I sat down and started to write my essay. It was due（到期的）the next morning and this was my last 40 . Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea. “What are you doing?” Andrea asked. “I have to write an essay about what doing

15、 the right thing means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed. Could this smart four-year-old 41 know the answer? “Thats easy,” she said. “Doing the right thing means being nice to your family and friends. Never lie. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Take a bath when youre 42 . And never put rocks in y

16、our mouth.” I stared with great 43 at my little cousin. Then I jumped up and gave her the biggest hug. Not only had Andrea answered a very tough question for me, but I could easily live by 44 of her answers. All I had to do was to be nice, not to lie, to keep myself clean and healthy, and never put

17、rocks in my mouth. So when I wrote my essay, I 45 the story about Andrea and how she had answered my question. Two weeks later, my teacher returned everyones essays.

25、 Barbara Popes B. Sherry Cashs C. Kathy Gradys D. Denise Harris BWhat would happen if you tried to blow a soap bubble in freezing weather? Would it freeze solid(固体) and fall to the ground? Would you have to hit it to break it? These questions happened to me on a cold winter day. It was too cold to p

26、lay in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen bubbles.To blow frozen bubbles, I used dishwashing soap and a drop of glycerin（甘油） to make it even better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what would happen. Here

27、s what I learned.If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubbles frosts over (结霜), becoming cloudy instead of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls（旋转） you see in soap bubbles? The rainbow colors stay even when the bubbles frost, but they dont swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in

28、the air. They dont fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.When these frozen bubbles break, they dont turn into small water drops as summer bubbles do. They turn into flashing rainbow confetti（碎屑） and move slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across th

29、e snow without breaking. If nothing disturbs the bubble, it may stay there for a long time. Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.I learned another thing about blowing frozen bubbles. Its so interesting that I want to try it again next year. 50. It is the

30、 perfect time to blow frozen bubbles on a _day. A. cold winter B. warm spring C. hot summer D. sunny autumn 51. When the frozen bubbles break, _.A. they make a big sound B. they turn into small drops C. they fall to the ground like rain D. they become rainbow confetti52. The purpose of the passage i

31、s _. A. to learn how to do a science experimentB. to show the experiment of blowing frozen bubbles C. to discover games that are fun to play in the snowD. to invent a new kind of soap that makes stronger bubblesCEarworms, some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, s

32、ometimes 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 permissi

33、on 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 inn

34、er 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 t

35、hink 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 uncontrollab

36、le mind. Consider the famous dont 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

37、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 si

38、nging Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!53. According to the passage, earworms are _.A. songs that keep going round in our mindB. worms that live in a part of our brainC. tunes by pop singers like Lady GagaD. parasites clearly under our control54. Which of the follo

39、wing 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 wont suffer from earworms unless you hear the song. 55. What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The inst

40、ruction to shut up your mind.B. “Dont think of the white bear” problem.C. Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My Head.D. Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. The causes and influences of earworms.B. What earworms are and how to deal with them.C.

41、 How to clear earworms out of your head.D. The relation between earworms and popular songs.D People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their g

42、enerals victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II. Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds oft

43、en the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War

44、 II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as Englands Dicke

45、n Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may ha

46、ve been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”Carr

47、ier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak（鸟嘴）; however, people who raise pigeons often enj

48、oy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeonsespecially those that served

49、 in the militaryhave earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonels Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.57. Many countries used carrier pigeons in the war because_.A. they cou

50、ld be believed inB. they were easily raisedC. they could reach the enemy linesD. they could hardly be found by airplanes58. Which is the best example to show the bravery of carrier pigeons?A.

A fast-food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all. And its not just about calories and unhealthy food. Recent s

60、tudies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think.
