         Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that
    has millions of current answers. That question is"What's your name?" Everyone gives a different answer, but
    everyone is correct.
         Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
          People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or
    other member of the family is used.
         Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith;
    a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones. Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara
    means "bright"; Beatrice means"one who gives happiness"; Donald means"world ruler"; Leonard means"as
    brave as a lion".
         The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or
    Brooks probably lived near brook (小溪); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved
    road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
          Other early surnames came from people's occupations (职业). The most common occupational name is
    Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very
    important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter-a person who owned
    or drove a cart; Potter -a person who made pots and pans (罐和锅).
          The ancestors (祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.
    The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture (家具).
         Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities.
    When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably
    became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an
    excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
         Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people
    added -s or -son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and
    Scottish
    people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are
    descendants of the same Donnell.
    1. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT include?
    A. Places where people lived.
    B. People's characters.
    C. Talents that people owned.
    D. People's occupations.
    2. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
    A. owned or drove a cart
    B. made things with metals
    C. made kitchen tools
    D. built houses and furniture
    3. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to
        become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
    A. Beatrice Smith
    B. Leonard Carter
    C. George Longstreet
    D. Donald Greenwood
    4. The underlined word "descendants" in the last paragraph means a person's _____. 
    A. 后代
    B. 亲朋好友
    C. 同事同伴
    D. 祖先

    If I ask you to shut your eyes and gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny “taste buds” which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.

    What You Need:

    • a friend to help

    • small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana

    • small pieces of apple, raw(生的) potato, and onion

    What You Do:

    There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns to try them on each other.

    Experiment 1:

    Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.

    Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.

    Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.

    Experiment 2:

    While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don’t call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!

    Experiment 3: (for the brave)

    Take a piece of raw onion. You don’t have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.

    The Science Secret

    You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells,” and you need your nose to “taste” them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don’t like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won’t “taste” it at all.

    1. According to this article, what could a reader know about food?

    A. People hold their noses to eat onions.            B. If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.

    C. People need a sense of smell to taste some food.   D. If you close your eyes, food will taste better.

    2.What is the most likely reason Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”?

    A. You keep your eyes open.                           B. You have to eat a raw onion.

    C. You have to squeeze your nose.                   D. You do the experiment alone.

    3.What’s the best title of the passage?

    A. Your Eyes Knows                               B. Your Nose Knows  

    C. Your Mouth Knows                             D. Your Tongue Knows

    There are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese is about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative(消极) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive(积极的) actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog—tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(冷酷的). There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.
    The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.

    We were doing the best to control the fire of the burning garage (车库). Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldn’t stop—I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.

    ??? It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled (挤作一团) together, were five frightened kittens (小猫). They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.

    ??? I wanted to find the mother cat. It was clear that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one—unbelievable.

    ??? We finally found her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I decided to save this brave little cat and her family.

    ??? The vet told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they weren’t confident about the mother’s chances.

    ??? About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.

    ??? I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the kittens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had been in danger for five times and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.

    ??? As a fireman, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.
