【題目】 Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.

In the Northwest and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have some heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.

Low air pressure (氣壓) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low pressure days. People feel best at the temperature of about 18 °C.

Do you feel sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the influence of the weather.

【題目】 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 【1】Here, we look at two examples

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.【2】The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

【3】Think about violinists in an orchestra ( 管弦樂團(tuán)). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中風(fēng)) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.【4】Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (損壞的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves concentration ( 注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏銳的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.

A.Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.

B.Music helps people solve some hearing problems.

C.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

D.Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

E.In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.

【題目】 The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos.

“My ......, you’re tall,” he said.

Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.

I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. To my relied, Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than me. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.

“Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.

Carlos laughed widely. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again, the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.

The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. “I’m sorry I embarrassed you,” he said. I looked straight ahead over the top of his black hair. “That’s all right.”

“I ought to know better.” He was still blocking my way. “What’s your name?” “Karen Forbes.” He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I am Carlos. I don’t see why you’re so touchy.”

It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. “How come?” I kept asking myself, “How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”

So on that morning, I stopped Carlos and said, “It doesn’t seem to bother you — being short.” He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red...

【1】Why was the author angry?

A.Because the class made fun of her.

B.Because she had to carry many books.

C.Because Reed Harrington laughed at her.

D.Because Reed Harrington didn’t date her.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A.The author cared much about Reed’s attitude.

B.The author hoped Reed was laughing with others.

C.The author thought Reed was the same as the others.

D.The author couldn’t stand Carlos playing tricks on her.

【3】What can we know about Carlos?

A.Handsome and proud.B.Humorous and confident.

C.Diligent but shy.D.Honest but sensitive.

【4】What does the underlined word “touchy” in Paragraph 8 probably mean?

A.Annoyed.B.Cheerful.C.Curious.D.Moved.

【5】According to the passage, which is the most likely ending?

A.Carols and Reed became very good friends.
