     Chocolate lovers know that eating chocolate can give them a feeling of happiness. Now it is known too
that eating chocolate may also make people cleverer.
     Dr. Bryan Raudenbush recently made a study to see if eating chocolate can make people cleverer. The
U. S. scientist knew that chocolate had several stimulants (興奮劑). But he was not sure how these stimulants
did their job and thus made people clever.
     To find out, Dr. Raudenbush gave the first group of people 85g of milk chocolate to eat and the second
group ate no chocolate at all. After 15 minutes, he tested their memory, and he also tried to see if they were
able to deal with problems right.
     The first group had higher scores. They were able to remember more words and pictures than the second
group, and they could solve (解決) problems much faster. Dr. Raudenbush then decided that the stimulants
in chocolate could make people do things faster and better. And he suggested that if people wanted to do a
better job, eating chocolate from time to time may be of help.
     Of course eating chocolate can't make sure that you can study well without hard work. You'll still need
to study hard to get good results.
1. Many people like eating chocolate because it can make them _____.
A. pleased
B. excited
C. funny
D. crazy
2. Dr. Raudenbush asked some people to eat milk chocolate because _____.
A. he knew that they liked chocolate very much
B. he wasn't sure how many people wanted to eat chocolate
C. he knew it was a kind of good food
D. he wanted to know if the stimulants could help people do things better
3. The result of the experiment showed that _____.
A. the second group did things better than the first group
B. the first group did things as well as the second group
C. both groups didn't do things well
D. the first group did things better than the second group
4. The experiment showed that eating chocolate could make people _____.
A. grow stronger
B. become cleverer
C. grow faster
D. become healthier
5. According to the passage, if you want to get good marks, you _____.
A. should eat lots of chocolate

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面表格。
     Dreams may be more important than sleep. Some people don't need much sleep. But we all need to dream,
scientists say.
     (A) Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams
are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over
again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something.
     Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer. Some people get new ideas about their work from
dreams. They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
     Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams
can disappear quickly from memory. (B) The more we sleep, the longer we dream. Too much dreaming can be
harmful. The mind is hard at working when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up
tired.
1. Are dreams very important to us? （簡要回答）
    ____________________________________________________________________
2. According to the author（作者）, what are dreams like?（簡要回答）

                                Thumbs Down to Texting  屈指發(fā)短信
     Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
     Text messaging or "texting" is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can
give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling in our thumbs. Our
thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke
to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much
time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could
have problems in the future.
     As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller
phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video
games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them,
most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using
computer, video games and mobile phones. If we don't do something about this, too many young people could
grow up in terrible pain.
1. What is becoming very popular now?
    ____________________________________
2. Does the word "once" mean "one time" in the second passage? 
    ____________________________________
3. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI? 
    ____________________________________
4. What can also cause RSI except texting? 
    ____________________________________
5. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile phones or larger ones?

閱讀表達(dá)。閱讀下面短文，在表格內(nèi)的空白處填入合適的答案(每格限填一詞)。
     We've come a long way from blackboards and chalk. Modern technology (技術(shù)) has provided us
with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, it's also
more interactive (互動).
     Some kinds of tools (工具) have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience
much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these
tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.
     For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers
to show images and provide sound as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images
and sound added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern
classroom.
     Various audio (聲音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to
say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (膽小的)
or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they're sitting too
far away from the teacher to hear them.
     The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history
lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past? The answer
is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern
equipment (設(shè)備) that helps the teacher get their message across.
     Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (應(yīng)答) system makes
everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it,
the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways.
     It's clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms.
Topic Modern technology helps us make teaching and learning more interesting and
interactive.
1______ 
of using
modern
technology   
in the
classroom 		1. Make it much easier to attract pupils' 2______ by using different tools.
●Whiteboards allow teachers to show colorful images and provide sound.
●Audio tools make students hear the teacher's 3______ even if they sit too
   far away from the teacher.
2. Make students learn more than one thing.
●Help students learn the knowledge of a 4______ and the use of modern
   equipment as well.
3. Make teaching and learning easier. 
●Student response system makes students give their opinions or answers without
  5______ up and allows teachers to help students when necessary.
Conclusion Modern classroom technology makes a great difference to teaching and learning.
