7．Talking behind someone's back is considered to be rude and mean．Such a conversation can cover all kinds of criticism，from their looks to their work and personality．
The other day at lunch I was with a group of colleagues，and we were talking about our boss．She is the new headmaster of our middle school．
We talked about how kind she is to us．She handwrites notes to wish us happy holidays or to thank us for jobs well done．She checks on us when she knows we're facing difficulties outside school with our health or with our families．We talked about the good role model that she is for the young women in our school and the fair but firm way she treats students and parents．
I thought about this after lunch．Sometimes we have the good fortune to be part of another kind of"talking behind someone's back"．And too often when we say something good about someone behind their backs，they never know about it!That night，I sent her an email to report the conversation．She replied by saying how much she appreciated hearing about this，and how it made a bright spot in a tough week of testing．
Watch for your next opportunity to be the reporter!Make sure you tell them about the nice things said behind their backs!Because how will they know unless we tell them？

56．What do you conclude from the text the writer might be？B
A．A student          B．A teacher        C．A parent         D．A boss
57．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Conversations about others             B．Rude and mean talking

B．Talking behind others'back is rude
C．Do tell the person about the nice things said behind his back

15．Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing．
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic（邏輯）behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand．Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power．"
Try this experiment．Explain how you'll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea how right now．Just start with anything，and create an explanation．For example，start with"I'll learn chess，"or"I'll read an article on the mind every week．"Explain how that will help．You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan，and if you actually do this，you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now．
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes．You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project，you'll probably have more success．
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it．That's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better．Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem，why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you're half-way there．
Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand．Often，they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．Writing will help bring you to an understanding．Give it a try．
56．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．A Way on How to Write．
B．Increase Your Brain Power through Writing．
C．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing．
D．How to Start Your Writing．
57．According to the text，writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPTC．
A．the increase of your brain power   
B．the ability to remember
C．the development of your interest in study   
D．the better understanding of a topic
58．If a writer writes something，it means that he or sheB．
A．has understood it very well          
B．needs to understand it better
C．wants to remember it in his or her mind  
D．is exercising his or her"explain power"
59．The underlined sentence"you're half-way there"in the fifth paragraph implies thatD．
A．you are already successful           
B．you still need to work hard
C．writing can help you walk half way 
D．writing is important to solve problems
60．What's the main purpose of the writer writing the text？A
A．To advise readers to start their writing．
B．To explain the importance of writing．
C．To persuade readers to become writers．
D．To increase readers'brain power．

2．Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon？Many people feel this way after lunch．They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness．Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat．However，the real reason lies inside their bodies．At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down．This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy．Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day．The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern （模式）．They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later．
In many parts of the world，people take naps（小睡） in the middle of the day．This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon．Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate．A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general．In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease．
Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps．Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap．Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up．A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward．This can also happen if you sleep for too long．If you do not have enough time，try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
60．Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text？C
A．They eat too much for lunch．
B．They sleep too little at night．
C．Their body temperature becomes lower．
D．The weather becomes a lot warmer．

A．About 12：30 pm
B．About 1：30 pm．
C．About 3：30 pm                          
D．About 2：30 pm
62．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Just for a Rest                           
B．All for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern

12．When young people in the United States gather for fun，there is a good chance that they will soon be dancing．If there are no musicians，they will play records．If there are no records，someone is certain to have a radio．One way or another there will be dancing．
The ways that boys and girls dance will often change every year or two．You may hear them say that the very latest steps are‘in'，while last year's steps are‘out'．Each boy and girl takes pride in learning newest things．They feel that this is important to remain popular with their friends．
Years ago the dances of young people were not very different from those of their parents，but high school and college students of today have created their own music and have invented their own dances，thanks to people like Chubby Checker，the Beatles，and Elvis Presley．These musicians helped to make popular an exciting new kind of music that people began to dance to in a different way．
In the late 1950s Chubby Checker started a dance that he called the"twist．"The twist，like so many new dances，was lively，and people who performed it used a lot of energy．The word chubby means"a little bit fat，"which is why this singer and dancer called himself Chubby．
After demonstrating his new dance hundreds of times，however，Chubby was no longer chubby．This is one of the advantages．Even if older people do not like the new dances，they must agree that people，get much more exercise from modern dances than they ever got from a waltz．

19．People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory，researchers say．
    A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers．
    And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers．
    The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university's campus．Those who took part were asked to recall small details，such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points-known as real world memory test．Smokers performed badly，remembering just 59 percent of tasks．But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks．
    Dr．Tom Heffernan，who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group，said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns．He said，"Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States，it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive（認(rèn)知的）function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example．"
"This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory．We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body，but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too．''
    The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory，while Dr．Heffernan and Dr．Terence O'Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking-toxins left on curtains and furniture．
1．What's the main idea of the passage？C
    A．Smoking does harm to health．
    B．Smokers take a tour to the University's campus．
    C．Smoking can affect one's memory．
    D．Smokers are compared to non-smokers．
2．How did those who took part in the study perform when asked to recall small details？A
    A．Smokers did the worst among the participants．
    B．Non-smokers could recall about half of them．
    C．Smokers could recall nothing at all．
    D．Those who gave up smoking did best．
3．According to Dr．Tom Heffernan，the findingsB．
    A．would be really a surprise to the public
    B．would contribute to fighting against smoking
    C．would be used in real world memory test
    D．would be nothing new to the researchers
4．What does the underlined word"impact''most probably mean？D
    A．order    B．impression    C．expression    D．effect
5．What will Dr．Heffernan and Dr Terence O'Neil do？A
    A．Investigate the effects of third-hand smoking．
    B．Do research on how smoking affects passive smokers．
    C．Find ways to persuade people to quit smoking．
    D．Study whether giving up smoking affects memory．

16．If you want to stay young，sit down and have a good think．This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors，who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and，as a result，we are growing old unnecessarily soon．
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age，and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down．
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University，he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs．Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain，which have something to do with intellect and feelings，and decide the human character．As we all know，the back part of the brain，which controls task like eating and breathing，does not contract with age．
Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was seen in some people in their thirties，but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds．
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction-using the head．
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．"Those with least possibility，"says Matsuzawa，"are lawyers，followed by university professors and doctors．White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are，however，as possible to have contracting brains as the farm worker，bus driver and shop assistant．"
72．The team of doctors wanted to find outC．
A．a(chǎn)t what point people grow mentally old
B．how to make people live longer
C．the size of certain people's brains
D．which people are the most clever
73．Their research findings are based onC．
A．a(chǎn)n examination of farmers in northern Japan
B．tests given on a thousand old people
C．examining the brain volumes of different people
D．using computer technology
74．The doctors'tests show thatD．
A．our brains contract as we grow older
B．one part of the brain does not contract
C．sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D．some people's brains have contracted earlier than other people's
75．The most possible conclusion of the passage is thatC．
A．most of us take more exercise 
B．it's better to live in the town
C．the brain contracts if it is not used
D．the more one uses his brain，the sooner he becomes old．

17．Something strange was unbelievable．Take Robert for example．After the terrible car accident，his whole world had been completely dark and quiet for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing made him try many times to put end to his life．
His family especially his wife did their best to tend and comfort him．By and by he finally regained the courage to live on．
On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started suddenly．He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet．Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning．The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree．He felt that he was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough（ 犁子 ）lying near the wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，she shouted their neighbours for help．And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．
The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread in his area．And many doctors came to prove the truth of the news．Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning； none of them could give convincing reasons，however．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock in a terrible accident，perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock．

56．What did Edwards see first after being struck down by a lightning？C
A．His wife           B．The large tree
C．A plough           D．The lightning itself
57．Which of the following is NOT true？C
A．Edwards had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years
B．Edwards lost all his senses for about 20minutes after the lightning had struck him down
C．Doctor held the belief that Edwards was never really blind and deaf．
D．Edwards woke up with face in mud．
58．What was Edwards doing when he was struck by the lightning？A
A．Hiding from the rain under a tree．
B．Driving a car．
C．Taking a walk                   
D．lying on the ground
59．How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor？D
A．He regained them from head injury when he fell from a tree．
B．His wife's first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them．
C．The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head．
D．The blow that caused him blind and deaf was very severe，so it took another severe blow to regain them．
