8.Grandpa was a carpenter (木匠).One day he was making some boxes for the clothes,his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Egypt.On his way home,he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses,but they were gone.He drove back to the church,but his search turned out to be fruitless.Suddenly,he realized what happened.The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the boxes,which he had nailed shut.His new glasses were heading for Africa!Grandpa had six children and he had paid twenty dollars for the glasses that morning."It's not fair,"he told God as he drove home."I've been very faithful (忠诚的) in giving my time and money to your work."
Several months later,the director of the orphanage was on holiday in the United States.He wanted to visit all the churches that helped him in Egypt,so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago.
"But most of all,"he said,"I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.You see,I had just broken my glasses.Then your boxes arrived.To my surprise,I found a pair of glasses in it and it fit me very well!"
The people listened,happy for the amazing glasses,but thought that the man must have confused their church with another.There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back,with tears in his eyes,Grandpa realized that God had played a big trick on him.

分析 本文讲述了祖父因为不小心把眼镜掉进了运送募捐物品的箱子中,然而这副眼镜却给了受捐赠者极大的帮助.所以这是一次"美丽的失误"的故事.

解答 1.B.细节理解题.根据文中The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the boxes,which he had nailed shut可知眼睛从他的口袋里滑倒了一个盒子里并且盒子被他被定住了,故选B.
2.D.推理判断题.根据最后一段中的"Sitting quietly in the back,with tears in his eyes,Grandpa realized that God had played a big trick on him."可知,听到孤儿院院长说那副眼镜他戴起来很合适后,爷爷含着泪水意识到上帝和自己开了一个大大的玩笑,由此可见爷爷感到很失望,故D项正确.
3.D.推理判断题.根据第四段内容可知,孤儿院院长以为爷爷不小心掉进箱子里的那副眼镜也是捐献物品,再根据最后一段中的"Grandpa realized that God had played a big trick on him."可知,爷爷并没有要回自己的眼镜,所以那副眼镜最后应该是归孤儿院院长所有了,故D项正确.
4.C.细节理解题.根据最后一段中的"but thought that the man must have confused their church with another.There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas."可知,除了爷爷之外其他人都以为孤儿院院长弄错了,因为他们的捐赠物品列表里并没有那副眼镜,故C项正确.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

17.Work your brain!
Between 2 and 3 pounds of wonder,it controls everything we say,do or think,who we are and what we care about,the way we walk or laugh or figure out things,what we like and the talents we possess,how we see and talk and run and jump and process our food.
The brain uses 20 percent of our body's oxygen and 20 percent of its blood.Somewhere within its protein,fat,100,000 miles of blood vessels and 100 billion nerve cells,it helps us remember where we put our gym shoes.Change our temperature so we don't die because of the heat or cold.Speed us up or slow us down.Help us choose between orange juice or orangeflavored drinks.
Its complexity is stunning,far beyond anything most of us can imagine.To keep this work of art as polished as possible we need to eat right,exercise and keep mentally stimulated.
Good nutrition help s brain cells communicate with each other.Exercise stimulates a hormone in our brain that improves memory.Mental stimulation keeps you sharp even as you age.
"It's very important that we tell people to be physically active and mentally active,"said neurologist Malcolm Stewart.
"People cannot stop aging,but you're able to reduce the damage; you're able to keep the function up."
Following are Dr.Stewart's advice for improving brain health:
l  Nutrition    
Avoid fast food.Follow the old adage(格言):For breakfast,eat like a king; for lunch,like a
queen; for supper,like a beggar.
l  Exercise     
Do a combination of stretching aerobic and musclestrengthening every day.
l  Mental games
