【題目】 Todd Bol is the founder of the non-profit Little Free Libraries. Bol built the first little library in 2009 to honor his mom, who was a book lover and teacher. Bol wanted to share his mother's love for reading with others. He decided to build a wood box and fill it with books. He made it look like a tiny red schoolhouse. He placed the box of books on a post in his front yard with a sign that read "Free Books." This was the beginning of the Little Free Library.
Soon Bol's neighbors noticed this tiny model of a schoolhouse. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library was always open. A library card was not needed. The books could be read and returned whenever. It offered people an easy way to read. This library didn't just provide books. It also helped build friendships among community.members. As more and more people visited Bol's little library, they began talking with one another. Everyone loved the little library. They shared thoughts, ideas, and stories. They got to know one another. After all, as Bol said, "It's a magic box with books."
Bol's friends and neighbors wanted little libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick Brooks, noticed that the libraries encouraged people to read. He believed that Bol's little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbors. With this in mind, Boland Brookes came up with a plan to build more than 2,500 Little Free Libraries around the world. To achieve this goal, they created a website. People can get information about the Little Free Libraries and how they can set up little libraries of their own.
Thanks to Bol and Brooks, the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more and to be friendlier. Today there are more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries around the world, and they can be found on almost every continent.

【2】Where did Bol put the box of books?
【3】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
【4】How did Bol and Brooks achieve their goal?

【題目】
Some people claim they “never forget a face”. But what does that saying mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember? A new study at the University of York in England has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces.
The study is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces. The research team tested people on how many faces they could remember from their personal lives and in the media. They also tested them to see how many famous faces they recognized. Rob Jenkins works in the psychology department at the University of York. He said the researchers’ study centered on the number of faces people actually know. He said the researchers were not able to discover whether there is a limit on how many faces the brain can handle.
In the study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible. At first, they found it easy to come up with many faces. But by the end of the hour, they found it harder to think of new ones. Their change in speed let the researchers estimate when they would have run out of faces completely.
The results showed that these people knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces. Jenkins explained that some people may have a natural ability for remembering faces. “There are differences in how much attention people pay to faces and how well they process the information,” he said. Jenkins also said it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. Therefore, they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.
The people in the study included 25 men and women between 18 and 61 years old. Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research. “It would be interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said. He said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may he an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.
The study suggests our facial recognition abilities enable us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know, like family and friends. Today, facial recognition technology is used in many ways, including by law enforcement agencies to prevent crime and violence. Governments use it to keep secret areas secure and, in extreme cases, control populations. Even Facebook uses facial recognition. For example, when you “tag” or name a friend, Facebook technology may recognize the person’s face from a different picture you had shared before.
【1】The study at the University of York centers on ________.
A.how different people’s faces are

B.The number of faces that people can remember is unlimited.

D.Facial recognition technology can improve social contact greatly.
【3】What does Rob Jenkins probably agree?
A.Remembering faces is not a natural ability for people.
B.People should gather more faces throughout their lifetime.
C.There is an age at which people can no longer know more faces.
D.People from a place with a large population may know more faces.
【4】What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.To present people’s abilities to recognize faces.
B.To tell us how facial recognition helps humans.
C.To explain the meaning of facial recognition technology.
D.To introduce the development of facial recognition technology.

【題目】Pay It Forward
When someone does something nice for you, you probably want to pay that person back. But some people choose to pay it forward! “Pay it forward” means people do something nice by helping another person who may be in need.
In the process, they hope to become part of good deeds that will grow and grow.
The idea to “pay it forward” became popular in 2000. But the concept is at least as old as Ben Franklin. In 1784 he helped a young man by giving him some money. After that, he wrote the man a letter. He told the man that he refused to be paid back because he wanted the man to help someone who needed money in the future.
Everyone can find ways to pay it forward. Kids can pay for someone’s lunch or give up their place in line at school. Others could cheer the sick kids in the hospital up or simply hold the door open for another person. Many people enjoy coming up with creative ways they can pay it forward. They visit old people’s homes, serve on cleaners, collect cans for charity, and start recycling programs.
When going to a drive-through restaurant, some customers like to tell the cashier that they’ll pay for the order of the person in the car behind them. Usually one or two drivers will do this at a time. Sometimes it might go on for several cars. In 2003, the customers at a drive-through coffee shop in Connecticut set a record. More than 1,000 drivers in a row paid for the order of the car behind them!
So if you receive an act of kindness one day, I’m sure you’ll know exactly what to do. Pay it forward!
【1】What does “pay it forward” mean?
【2】When did the idea to “pay it forward” become popular?
【3】Why did Ben Franklin refuse to be paid back?
【4】What can kids do to pay it forward at school?
【5】What does the writer want to tell us?
