People are compassionate. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register (收款機(jī)) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.

I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.

Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.

What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

1.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits _______.

A. promised to obey the store rules

B. forgot to take any money with him

C. hoped to have the food first and pay later

D. could not afford anything more expensive

2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A. kind and lucky B. friendly and helpful

C. poor and lonely D. hurt and disappointed

3.The writer acted upon the store rules because _______.

A. he expected someone else to pay for the old man

B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman

C. he considered the old man dishonest

D. he wanted to keep his present job

4.What does the writer learn from his experience?

A. Wealth is more important than anything else.

B. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

C. Experience is better gained through practice.

D. Helping others is easier said than done.

Most of us have gone away from “mad men” in the street, only to realize that they are in fact using a Bluetooth headset. Now a new University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people find lost objects—in other words, saying the name of an object helps you find it more quickly.

Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing step-by-step tasks, like tying shoelaces (鞋帶), can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand. However, scientists were not sure if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way, especially when looking for particular objects. Professor Gary Lupan and Daniel Swingley, writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, carried out some experiments. They hoped to give the fact that next time you lose your keys, muttering “keys, keys, keys” can in fact help you find them.

Inspired by viewing people muttering to themselves as they try to find things like peanut butter in a supermarket, the researchers conducted two experiments to see if this actually worked. In the first, participants were shown 20 pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one, with some seeing a text label (標(biāo)簽) telling them what they were looking for. These participants were then asked to search for the object again while saying the word to themselves, with results showing that saying it aloud helped people find the object more quickly.

The second experiment saw participants performing a shopping task, where they were shown photographs of items (物品) commonly found on supermarket shelves. They were asked to find all examples of a particular item, so if they were asked for apples they had to find all the bags of apples, as quickly as possible. The researchers found that there was also an advantage in saying the name of the product aloud when they were searching for something familiar.

The University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object—in other words, muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something. It works more effectively than seeing a written description. Repeating the word over and over again helps even more.

1.The second paragraph tells us that ________.

A. muttering helps people to control their behavior

B. muttering has the same effect on both kids and adults

C. it is really hard to carry out the experiments on adults

D. it is easier for kids to do step-by-step tasks by muttering

2.According to the passage, muttering can help people in a way that ________.

A. it completely controls people’s mind

B. it directly explains people’s behavior

C. they concentrate more on their job at hand

D. they reduce their pressure from their mind

3.The two experiments mentioned in the passage show that ________.

A. participants were better at doing the shopping task

B. it took the participants the same time to find the objects

C. showing pictures of the items helped find them more quickly

D. participants saying aloud the word found the object more quickly

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Effects of Muttering

B. How to Find Lost Objects

C. What to Mutter to Yourself

D. Methods of Remembering Objects

Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.

So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (過(guò)路費(fèi))? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?

The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?

The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (繞行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.

Replacing asphalt (瀝青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.

We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.

1.The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.

A. argumentB. commentC. explanationD. background

2.When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?

A. Guide them to a safer place.

B. Remind drivers to drive slowly.

C. Frighten them away from the road.

D. Advise drivers to choose another way.

3.From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can ________.

A. provide heat for drivers in winter

B. guide drivers who get lost on the highway

C. melt snow and ice soon in winter

D. help drivers see the road clearly in the sun

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Functions of the road in the future.

B. Development of solar energy.

C. Free energy on the road.

D. Solar road of the future.
