If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again. knows this, but nobody would think of the fact.
Yet there are many people who to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that has a good memory, he means that he keeps his memory in practice exercising it very , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is , he means that he does not give it enough to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of people, one of exercises his arms and legs by playing ball, while the other in a chair or a car all day. If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own , But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind, all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means that .
Have you ever that people who cannot read or write usually have memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.
In a word, if you want to have a good memory, do practice things。

Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn"t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other"s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.
What"s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other"s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each other"s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don"t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
小题1:The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .| A．early | B．sweetly | | C．quickly | D．suprisingly |
小题2:Some cats and dogs may fight when .| A．they are cold to each other | | B．they look away from each other | | C．they understand each other"s signals in a wrong way | | D．they are introduced at an early age |
小题3:What is found surprising about cats and dogs?| A．They eat and sleep together. | | B．They observe each other"s behaviors. | | C．They learn to speak each other"s language. | | D．They know something from each other"s voices. |
小题4:What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?| A．We should learn to live in peace. | | B．We should know more about animals. | | C．We should live in peace with animals. | | D．We should learn more body languages. |

[1] More than 40 million Americans move each year, but not always by choice. Whether you relocate because of a new job or school for you or your spouse, for a lower cost of living, or for better opportunities, adjusting to life in a new place can be scary and difficult--especially when you’re not in love with your new city. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your relocation and find happiness in your new home.
[2] Treat it as an adventure
Living in a new place is a great opportunity to experience new things and to grow as a person. So stay positive, and get out there and explore! Sample the local cuisine. Visit landmarks and museums. Try local activities that weren’t available or popular in your former city, such as skiing if you came from a beach town or surfing if you lived in the mountains. You may discover a talent or interest you never knew you had.
[3] Get involved
Attend local events that interest you. Visit the weekly farmer’s market or the neighborhood yard sale. Volunteer. Take a class. Join a sports league. All of these things will help you meet people and feel connected to your new town.
[4] Locate the necessities
Driving, riding, or walking around your new neighborhood is the best way to learn where everything is. So head out and take note of the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, post office, library, etc.
[5] Keep pieces of your old home
To keep from getting too homesick, subscribe to your former city magazine or newspaper. Display photos of or souvenirs from your favorite places in your old town. Hang decorations from your former home. Just don’t go overboard—hanging on to too much from your past will keep you from moving forward and really enjoying your new home.
[6] _________
It takes time to get to know a new place, so don’t expect to feel comfortable right away. Give yourself time to adjust. To help the process and to meet new people, find a support group near you at Just Moved.org.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about? (within 15 words.)
小题2:What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? (within 7 words)
小题3:According to the passage, what can you do to learn where everything is?( within 5 words)

In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate (引起，导致) the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds--- even thousands--- of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise (逆时针方向) motion.
The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.
Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea, the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
小题1:When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?| A．When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. | | B．When it hits he coastline. | | C．When it is more than 75 mils wide. | | D．When its winds reach 75 miles per hour. |
小题2:What is the worst thing about hurricane?| A．The destructive effects of water. | | B．The heat they release. | | C．That they last about nine days on the average. | | D．Their strong winds. |
小题3:The counter-clockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .| A．the low-pressure area in the center of the storm | | B．the force of waves of water. | | C．the trade winds | | D．the increasing heat |
小题4:Apparently the word “downpour” in the fourth paragraph means .| A．heavy rainfall | | B．dangerous waves | | C．the progress of water to the hurricane center | | D．the increasing heat |

The energy crisis has made people aware of how the careless use of the earth’s energy has brought the whole world to the edge of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more traveling, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earth’s atmosphere.
Our present situation is unlike natural disasters of the past. Worldwide energy use has brought us to a state where long-range planning is vital. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.
This country has been failing back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation(揭露) that lawbreaking has reached into the highest place in the land. There is a strong demand for morality to turn for the better and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own benefits that people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.
This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other people of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to employ new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.
To grasp it, we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis we and the world are facing is no passing inconvenience, no byproduct of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries, no environmentalists’ only fears, no byproduct of any present system of government. What we face is the result of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the world’s children and future generation.
小题1:Which of the following has nearly destroyed our cities?| A．The loss of beliefs and ideas. | | B．More of law-breaking. | | C．Natural disasters in many areas. | | D．The rapid growth of motors. |
小题2:By comparing past problems with present ones, the author draws our attention to the .| A．seriousness of this crisis | | B．ineffectiveness of laws | | C．similarity of the past to the present | | D．hopelessness of the situation |
小题3:Which of the following is used as an example to show the loss of morality?| A．Disregard for law. | B．Lack of devotion. | | C．Lack of understanding. | D．Destruction of cities. |
小题4:The author wrote the passage in order to .| A．make a recommendation for a transformed life style | | B．limit ambitions of the people of the whole world | | C．demand devotion to nature and future generation | | D．encourage awareness of the decline of morality |

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.
小题1:What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?| A．Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases. | | B．The two murderers who killed the cloned baby. | | C．The two diseases of cancer and heart disease. | | D．Hereditary diseases and cancer. |
小题2:What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?| A．How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases. | | B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies. | | C．Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby. | | D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out. |
小题3:In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?| A．Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days. | | B．Using gene technology, the scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it. | | C．Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned. | | D．Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology. |
小题4:What is the main purpose of writing this passage?| A．Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people. | | B．Telling people the disadvantages of gene technology. | | C．Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people. | | D．Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity. |
