    carried it around with him the whole evening.
         When all the other people left, he took his  grandpa's hand and brought him over to a chair and gave
    him the gift.

    They were business cards with new position: FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Jack said, "Now your full-time
    job is my grandpa!"
         Well, how much do I get paid?" his grandpa asked, smiling. "As many hugs as you want!" With these

         Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react(反应) very quickly, even if they are not related.
         Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study.  Whack-a-mole(打鼹鼠游戏) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they
    can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(随机). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度 ).
        The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including
    babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.
        The volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had
    similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
        "Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's
    psychiatry(精神病学) department, who led the study. "For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(忽视,不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around."  
         He added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable,
    because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job
    for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and
    bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.  
    1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.
    B. The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.
    C. Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.
    D. The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby's cry.
    2. The game "whack-a-mole" shows ______.
    A. a baby's cry can get special attention from adults
    B. men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
    C. adults without babies react less quickly to a baby's cry
    D. women react to a baby's cry more quickly than men
    3. "Whack-a-mole" requires people to hit _____ at a time.
    A. one button
    B. one of nine buttons
    C. nine buttons
    D. ten buttons
    4. According to the passage, a baby's cry ______.
    A. has the same pitch as birdsong
    B. is the noisiest sound there is
    C. can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure
    D. is good for its health
    5. From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.
    A. taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past
    B. human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies
    C. baby cries are a good way make adults react quickly
    D. baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolution

         Living  in a  foreign culture  can be  exciting,  but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的 ).  A group of
    Americans who taught English in  other countries recently discussed  their  experiences. They decided that
    miscommunications(沟通误解) were always possible, even over something as simple as " yes " and " no ".
         On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific(太平洋), Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her.  The day was  hot.  She went  into a store and  asked, " Do you have cold drinks?"  The
    woman there  didn't  say anything.  Lisa repeated  the question.  Still the woman  said nothing.  She  later
    learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means "yes".
         Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter,  "Do you have cabbage today?"  He nodded his head.
    Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means "no".
         Tom had a similar problem when  arrived  in India.  After explaining something in  class,  he asked his
    students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought
    some people  had not  understood, so he explained again. When  he asked again, they did the same thing.
    He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on(依据)where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".
    1. The Americans teaching English in other countries found that they       .
    A. should go abroad for vacations  
    B. needed to learn foreign languages
    C. should often discuss their experiences  
    D. had problems with communications
    2. People in Micronesia show "yes" by           .
    A. nodding heads    
    B. raising eyebrows  
    C. shaking heads  
    D. saying "no"
    3. Tom misunderstood(误解) his class at first because            .
    A. he did not know much about Indian culture
    B. he didn't explain everything clearly enough
    C. some students didn't understand his questions
    D. he didn't know where the students came from
    4. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
    A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means "no".
    B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.
    C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.
    D. In India, only shaking heads means "yes".
    5. The passage is mainly about           .
    A. body language in foreign restaurants    
    B. class discussion in India schools
    C. miscommunication in different cultures  
    D. English teaching in other countries

         As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
    simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
    other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
         Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
         The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became

         The dewdrop  reached  the edge of th e leaf.  It was sure that this was the end.  The day had only just
    begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.
         Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet
    it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.

    A. There was only one dewdrop on the leaf.
    B. The dewdrop did nothing before falling.
    C. The mirror in the story refers to the pond.
    D. The dewdrop was actually destroyed.

         The holiday's upon us.After months of study,  you have some  time to yourself.So, why not read a
    book? Well, some people will say, " Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒体) that offer a lot more colorful programs.Books are history!"
         But don't be fooled.There's still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible.
         (1) One clear reason is that a well-chosen ______ is a wonderful collection of _____ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course.Believe me, it's far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet.
         (2) But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can
    not.
    The webpage(网页)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read
    as possible.
         Though  "easy"  may be welcome,  unluckily  it's of  little use for any  long-time development of reading
    skills and the general language level.For that, there's still no substitute(替代品)for a book.
         But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it's something you do by and for yourself.You can  choose what  you want to read.It's hard work,
    but while you are reading,  you'll find that what  once seemed like a duty is now a  pleasure.Reading can
    bring us pleasure.
