6．閱讀下面短文，按要求完成各項(xiàng)任務(wù)．
When we think of heroes，we often think of storng，brave people．But anyone can be a hero．A hero is someone who helps another person in the face of difficulties or in danger．Fred Hollows was such a person．
Fred Hollows was born in New Zealand and became an eye doctor．He believed that all people，rich and poor，should have good medical treatment．After he began working as an eye doctor in Australia，he learned that many Aboriginal（土著的） Australians had eye disease because of dirty environment and bad health．He set up a program to help people take care of their eyes．Because of his work，many Aboriginal people could see again and fewer Aroriginal people became blind．
Later，F(xiàn)red Hollows learned blindness was also a big problem in Africa．Many people in Africa needed small eye surgicales（外科手術(shù)） to cure（治愈） their blindness．The cost of this surgery was only twenty-five dollars．But that is a lot of money to a poor person in Africa．Their were also no dcotors to help．
Fred Hollows wanted to help the people in Africa．But he couldn't go to Africa because he had become sick．So he started the Fred Hollows Foundation．This foundation collected donations from people in rich countries．This money provided equipment for eye surgeries and helped to train doctors．The foundation helped thousands of people to see again．
Unfortunately，F(xiàn)red Hollows died before the foundation began its wonderful work in Africa and then other countries．Now the foundation helps save the eyesight（視力） of poor people all over the world．Even after his death，F(xiàn)red Hollows is still helping people．He is a true hero．

5．閱讀下面短文，按要求完成各項(xiàng)任務(wù)．
People love proverbs．They are always impressed because the proverbs express a lot of imformation in just a few words．A good proverb quickly sums up（概括） ideas that are sometimes hard to express．And the person can understand it at once．
Proverbs come from two main places---ordinary people and famous people．These two sources（來(lái)源） are not always distinct（明顯的）．Common and popurlar proberbs are often used by famous people．And the common people often borrow something that is said or written down by a well-known person．For example，"Bad news travels fast"probably comes from the experience of housewives．However，"All's well that ends well"was written by the famous writer---William Shakespeare．
Proverbs are used everywhere in the world．If you can understand a culture's proverbs，you can better understand the culture itself．There are many different ways that we use proverbs in our life．Here are some examples．

Give advice	（61）A bird in the hand is warth two in the bush．	Something you have is better than something you might get．

Express a common truth	（63）One person's meat is another one's poison（毒藥）．	What one person loves，another person may hate．
Give a waming（警告）	（64）B	Don't plan on a good result until it actually happens．

Alan was a fifteen-year-old boy living with his little sister，Lana．Their parents had passed away long ago．Alan took care of Lana by himself．
One day，Alan woke up at three in the morning as usual．When Lana was sleeping alone，Alan（62）left（leave） their little house to deliver newspapers．As he did so，he found an old man sleeping in front of his house．Alan was so surprised that he stopped（63）to look（look） at him closely．

2．Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study，work and life．Can memory be improved？Luckily，hundreds of studies in the past 50years have already given us a definite*answer．
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp．First of all，it is necessary to have a healthy diet．Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E，such as vegetables and lean meat，helps you have a better memory．Doing exercise can keep your brain alive，too．Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain．Running，riding a bike，swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful．Moreover，getting enough sleep is important．Only when your brain gets a good rest，can it work well．The healthier your lifestyle is，the better your memory will become，but do not expect a sudden change---it takes a long time to make a difference．
Memory skills help you remember things better．The following three are the most widely used．Chunking*is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones．For example，to memorize a ten--digit telephone number 2127983630，you can divide the digits into three groups：first 212，then 798，and lastly 3630．This method is far more effective than remembering a string*of 10digits．Organization means organizing information into groups of the the same kind．For example，trees，grass and flowers are plants； tigers，panadas，horses and cows are animals，Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with．
However，memory skills will hardly work if you don't understand the information．What's more，only a regular review can make the memory last long．That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days，and then use it as regularly as possible．
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger．If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills，you can certainly improved your memory．

19．On July2，1937，Amelia Earhart（ an American pilot） and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific．This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t（81）ravel/tour/trip   around the world．Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off．The weather was very bad，so she had to f（82）ly at 3，000metres．Going this high，the plane used fuel quickly．
  After about 20h（83）ours，Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island．The island was o（84）nlyabout 65miles （英里） away，but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn't see it．Near Howland，a ship was w（85）aiting for the plane．Earhart contacted the ship："We don't have enough fuel，"she said．The ship tried to stay in touch with her b（86）ut got no answer．Finally，the ship called for help．People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days．However，they found nothing．
  What happened to Amelia Earhart？No one knows for sure．D（87）uring the flight，she probably moved in the wrong direction（方向） because the sun was bright and it was d（88）ifficult to see．So she got lost； soon after，her plane ran out of fuel，and she died at sea．Another idea is that she survived（幸存） the plane crash（飛機(jī)失事），s（89）wam to a lonely island，and later died there．Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U．S．with a new identity（身份）．
  Till now，none of these i（90）deas has been proved．People are still wondering about them．（Noonan's body has never been found either．） No matter what happened，Earhart probably died as she wished．"When I go，"she said，"I'd like best to go in my plane．"
