举一反三
Psychologists(心理学家) have known that what"s going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Professor Remi Radel wanted to investigate(look into) how this happens -- whether it"s right away, as the brain receives signals from the eyes, or a little later, as the brain"s higher-level thinking processes get involved.
Radel chose 42 students and each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating on the day of the test. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, the person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they"d seen -- a food-related word like gateau (cake) or a neutral (中性的) word like bateau (boat).
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception (直觉), Radel says—it"s not because of some kind of processing happening in the brain after you"ve already figured out what you"re looking at.
"This is something great to me, that humans can really realize what they need or what they hope for, to know that our brain can really arrange for our motives and needs," Radel says. "There is something inside us that selects information in the world to make life easier.”
小题1:The purpose of Radel"s research is to let us know ____.
A.how our thinking has effect on our senses happens
B.what it is the good time for students to have lunch
C.whether poorer children think coins are larger than they are
D.whether hungry people think pictures of food are brighter
小题2:In the experiment 20 words that flashed on the screen had something to do with “____”.
A.boatB.food C.mind D.weather
小题3:Which of the following is true about the experiment?
A.The students should stare at the words in the book.
B.Each word appeared slowly in order that the participant could read it exactly.
C.After each word flashed on the screen, the person was asked to finish two tasks.
D.On the day of the test, all the students were very hungry because of the delay of their lunch.
小题4:What does the new study find?
A.Actually our brain can arrange for our motives and needs.
B.In the experiment the brain was totally controlled by the senses.
C.People who had just eaten saw all the words more clearly than hungry people.
D.The participants saw the words look different long after the brain dealt with the information.

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
小题1:What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?                                                          
A.messagesB.ideasC.connectionsD.programs
小题2:According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?       
A.Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B.More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
小题3:According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?         
A.The businessB.The advertiser
C.The employeeD.The consumer
小题4:What is the purpose of the text?        
A.To informB.To educateC.To persuadeD.To instruct

“Daddy, can I have a piece of cake?” my oldest son asked me.
We had just been to the gym and stopped to   31  at the restaurant.
“No,” I replied, “you don’t need a piece of cake.”
My son   32  15 in a few days. He   33  over 6 feet tall. He is very slim and athletic in shape. It was not always that way. My wife wrote a book about the challenge and   34  of getting him fit. He now takes it   35  and looks as he’s never been overweight in his life.
He had a full plate of   36  and tofu. He didn’t need a piece of cake. Besides, everything in the restaurant is quite   37 . Our dinners could have   38  a family of seven at a fast food restaurant. That cake probably cost $5.
He was   39  as he looked at the delicious cakes. I had forgotten that I had walked over to the cake shelf while he was   40  his food from the buffet (自助餐).
I looked at my   41 . There sitting on the edge was a piece of   42 . I looked at it wondering but also knowing how it got there. “We will divide it,” I said.
A few days later my oldest son was with me again. We stopped at a   43 . He ordered a sandwich. I then   44  two sandwiches. He immediately barked, “Can I have two?” He wanted exactly what Daddy had.
Your kids are very likely to put on their plates, exactly what you have on yours, and I think this applies to more than food. Keep your   45  plate with only what you want your kinds to have.

Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh products from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade (阴凉) plantings. He says, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours’ direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours’ full sun a day. It also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water.
Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticide (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Some insects dislike shade, and the hottest part day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, sun intensity (强度), shadows from trees, walls and buildings all influence how much sunlight falls on plants. And people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. It can even mean different things in different parts of the world.
小题1:How many hours of sunshine are enough to keep tomato plants growing in Hoffman’s garden?
A.five hours a dayB.Six hours a day
C.Eight hours a dayD.Twelve hours a day
小题2:From the passage we can know that ______ .
A.plants with wider leaves produce more in full sun.
B.as a matter of fact, plants don’t need to grow in full sun.
C.the more sunshine plants get, the more they will produce
D.plants with wider leaves grow better in shadows
小题3:All of the following can influence how much sunlight falls on plants EXCEPT ______.
A.length of day time
B.brightness of the sun
C.changes of the season
D.shadows
小题4: Which of the following can best describe Mr. Hoffman?
A.CuriousB.ExperiencedC.Easy-goingD.Funny
小题5:We may read the passage on a website in the section of ______.
A.environmentB.travellingC.agricultureD.lifestyle

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We sent in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University,New York, says, “‘Robots ’noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity(电)!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out of it if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
小题1:In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can    .
A.take the place of man’s rescue jobs
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings.
D.get into small spaces
小题2:In doing rescue jobs,        .
A.rats smell better than dogs
B.dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people
C.robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D.rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
小题3:Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that       .
A.they are more fantastic than other animals
B.they are less expensive to train than dogs
C.they don’t need electricity
D.they are small and can get into small places
小题4:After reading the passage we can know       .
A.at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people
B.the “rat project” has been completed
C.people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D.now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues
