It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy (海軍). You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief (最高統(tǒng)帥). In fact, it all began from the half a year’s basic training, which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without_________and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, hungry and painful.

The training also needed to find those who could_________in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I’d like to talk about one little thing.

Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would appear in our rooms. The first thing they did was to_______our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.

It was a difficult task. But every morning we were required to make our beds_________. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.

If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the first task of the day. It will bring you a small_________of success, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can’t do the_________things right, you will hardly be able to do the big things right.

Changing the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever _______ a day in uniform (制服,軍服). Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

In general, if you want to change the world,_________off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!

Whenever I’m invited to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.

My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(職業(yè)的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.

If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.

__▲ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It’s such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.

It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.

1.The books on the writer’s own shelves are organized according to _________.

A.their prices B.their writers

C.his personal interests D.the periods of his life

2.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?

A.Every book is worth reading. B.Each bookshelf holds a special dream.

C.Book collections tell so much about a person. D.The books a person reads depend on his choices.

3.The writer seems to agree that ____________.

A.we’d better not put our books on the floor

B.the way we arrange our books shows our tastes

C.the books at our bedside are usually more important

D.we can know about a person by reading the message he sends

4.It can be learned from the passage that the writer is probably__________.

A.a book lover B.a story teller C.a shelf collector D.a fashion designer

On the level of everyday usage a myth is a false story or belief. A myth is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain.

One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function (功能). Modern scientists think the “10 percent myth” ridiculous (荒謬的).

The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “l(fā)eft brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地).

It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (證據(jù)) that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.

We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.

1.What do modern scientists think of “10 percent myth” of the brain?

2.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

3.May Robert, who is learning English, use the right brain more or the left brain more?

4.According to the facts mentioned in the passage, when does the brain stop growing?

5.What is the passage mainly about?
