    In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d  hitch a ride (搭便车).
    I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
    Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
    After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon

    If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory（记忆力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering

    1. 1.

    A little boy went to a farmer who had some puppies (小狗）to sell and said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look.”
    “Sure,” said the farmer. Then he called his dog, “Here, Dolly!”
    Out from the doghouse and down the ramp(斜坡) ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
    As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else moving inside the doghouse. Slowly, another little ball appeared. This one was much smaller than the others. Down the ramp it slid(滑行). Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling(蹒跚) toward the others, doing its best to catch up…
    “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the slow dog.
    The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs will.”
    With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of trousers. There was a steel brace(支架) running down both sides of his leg. It was joined to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run very well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”

    Rhinos(犀牛) are big and can be dangerous. They are also shy and seldom seen. Once there were hundreds of rhino species, but today there are only five. One ancient rhino called Indricotherium was the largest land mammal that ever lived. It was 5m high at the shoulders, and 8.5m long— twice the size of today’s biggest elephant! The living rhinos are still big, averaging 2-3m long and weighing up to 3,600kg.
    To see all five species of living rhino you would need to do a bit of exploring. First you might visit Africa for a look at the white rhino and the black rhino. They live in Africa’s dry woodlands and grasslands. Then you could head to India and Nepal for a look at the Indian rhino. It lives in the high grasslands near rivers, where you have to ride an elephant to find one. Finally you might travel to the rainforests on the islands of Indonesia to see the Sumatran and Javan rhinos. These are the smallest and rarest rhinos in the world and extremely difficult to find.
    Most rhinos are gentle and timid (胆小的).They have a bad reputation for being very aggressive, but that may be partly because they get frightened easily. Also, they have poor eyesight. They rely on their strong sense of smell to tell them a stranger is approaching, but if the wind is blowing the wrong way, they may not know someone is there until it’s too late.
    Rhinos can be found only in their habitats, which is why habitat destruction has caused rhino populations to decline. As they disappear from certain places, their absence leads to many changes to the landscape. For example, black rhinos in Africa only eat shrubs (灌木) and small trees, pruning (修剪) the plants and limiting their growth. Many other species benefit from this, and as rhinos disappear, so do many other animals sharing their habitat. Bushes and trees take over the land and force species like the antelope to leave in search of food. In a short time the whole habitat has changed

    1. 1.

      From the text we learn that ______

      1. A.
        rhinos are all big and dangerous
      2. B.
        rhino numbers have declined greatly
      3. C.
        rhinos are twice as large as elephants

      3. C.
        Africa’s dry woodlands and grasslands
      4. D.
        India’s high grasslands near rivers
    3. 3.

      What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?

      1. A.
        Most rhinos live alone
      2. B.

      3. C.
        useless
      4. D.
        fierce
    5. 5.

      The example of the black rhinos in the last paragraph is mainly to show that_____

      1. A.
        rhinos only eat plants
      2. B.
        all rhinos are endangered
      3. C.

    Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke(中风).
    New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt I use in cooking. The recommended daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you avoid processed(加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t exceed the daily level.
    The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
    A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt shaker, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
    I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often

    1. 1.

      The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______

      1. A.
        white people
      2. B.
        black people
      3. C.
        untreated diseases
      4. D.
        high blood pressure and diabetes
    2. 2.

      What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?

      1. A.
        Black people take in too much salt
      2. B.
        Black people’s meals are very special
      3. C.
        Processed foods have too much salt in them
      4. D.
        6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult
    3. 3.

      What would the writer probably suggest black people do?

      1. A.
        Order no salad in a restaurant
      2. B.
        Take in no salt for several days
      3. C.
        Stop cooking their favorite meals
      4. D.
        Eat less takeaways
    4. 4.

      The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to ______

      1. A.
        thank those who came to his home for his research
      2. B.
        let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier
      3. C.
        show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home
      4. D.
        prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is

    The poorer mental function seen among alcoholics，many of whom also regularly smoke cigarettes，may be partly due to the long term effects of nicotine(尼古丁)，new research suggests.
    “People who are also smokers are at a much higher risk，” Dr.Jennifer  M.Glass of the University of Michigan's Addiction Research Center said. In her study，“Cigarette smoking has a bad effect on IQ and thinking，” she said.
    This finding may seem counterintuitive(违反直觉的)，since many smokers show that they feel quicker and focused after smoking. Indeed，research shows that improved mental functioning is one of the immediate effects of nicotine exposure. Chronic(慢性的)smoking，however，is known to have the opposite effect. Studies show that up to 87 percent of alcoholics smoke cigarettes.
    Yet，few studies have looked into cigarette smoking as a factor that might explain the cognitive(认知的)lack reported among alcoholics. To search for that association，Glass and her colleagues examined brain function among 172 men from the same area，including 103 men who abused alcohol. The team found that men with higher scores on the lifetime alcohol problems scale(LAPS)and those who reported a higher number of pack years of smoking both had lower IQ scores.
    Upon further research，the researchers found that smoking also appeared to be independently associated  with weaker word and space reasoning.
    Thus，though smoking did not account for all of the decreased mental functioning observed among the alcohol abusers，it did seem to account for some of the effects，the report indicates

    1. 1.

      What is the passage mainly about?

      1. A.
        Cigarette smoking contributes to decreased IQ and thinking
      2. B.
        Alcohol abuse is to blame for the poorer mental function
      3. C.
        Most of the alcoholics are also heavy smokers
      4. D.
        Non-smokers mostly have higher IQ scores
    2. 2.

      The underline sentence “Chronic smoking, however, is known to have opposite effect” in paragraph 3  suggests:

      1. A.
        Chronic smoking can improve mental functioning
      2. B.
        Chronic smoking has an immediate influence on mental functioning
      3. C.
        Chronic smoking has side effect on mental functioning improvement
      4. D.
        Chronic smokers feel quicker and focused after smoking
    3. 3.

      From the passage we can learn that

      1. A.
        cigarette smoking is not related to reasoning
      2. B.
        nicotine exposure can improve mental functioning temporarily
      3. C.
        the long term effects of nicotine cause alcoholics
      4. D.
        men with lower scores on the LAPS have lower IQ scores
    4. 4.

      It can be inferred from the passage that

      1. A.
        many alcoholics suffer a great deal from smoking
      2. B.
        giving up smoking is significantly challenging for the alcoholics
      3. C.
        alcoholics who do not smoke much have higher IQ scores
      4. D.
        other factors can cause the poorer mental functioning besides smoking

      The purpose of this passage is

      1. A.
        to warn us of the bad effects of smoking on IQ and thinking
      2. B.
        to tell us why people are addicted to smoking
