●Our Needs

People are different, but they all have the same needs. Needs are things people must have to live. Our bodies need food and water. We also need air to breathe. We need a place to live to keep us safe. We need clothes to keep us warm. If we did not have these things, we could not survive(生存).

Needs may be different for people who live in different areas. If you live where it is cold, you may need special clothes to keep you warm. If you live where it is hot, you may need more water.

People have found new ways to meet their needs. Farmers grow food that people eat. They used to plant seeds by hand. They used to pick plants by hand. Now they have machines that do this work.

● Our Wants

Wants are things people would like to have but do not need to live. Suppose you hope to get a football for your birthday. A football is a want. You can live without it.

Sometimes we might want something so much that it feels like a need. We have to make choices, though. If you need a new coat for winter, you might not be able to get the football you want. We must choose what we need over what we want.

Sometimes we must make choices between things we want. Suppose you want to go to a birthday party for your uncle. That day, a friend asks you to go to a movie. The movie is at the same time as the party.

If you choose to go to the party, then what would you give up? What would you give up if you went to the movie?

1. Needs are things that people______.

A. don't use every day

B. cannot live without

C. get to meet their interest

D. have to improve their life

2.Which of the following must be a want?

A. Air. B. Water. C. A coat. D.A movie.

3.Which sentence shows the writer's opinion?

A. We must put what we need before what we want.

B. People from different areas must have different needs.

C. It's easy to make a choice between the things we want.

D. If we want something very much, it can become our need.

4.The writer tells the differences between needs and wants by ______.

A. giving examples B. doing research

C. making a survey D. having interviews

5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a need?

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆Try to use new information immediately（立刻）. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

1. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

2.Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2？

A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do? C. Hello, I am Sophia. D. Glad to meet you!

3.What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage?

A. To store it in a computer.

B. To break it into smaller parts.

C. To discuss it with a friend.

D. To review it before you sleep.

4.What does the sentence "Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory” mean?

A. You should tell others about your bad memory.

B. You should believe in other people all the time.

C. You should ask others to improve their memory.

D. You should be confident in your memory ability.
