【題目】I have read plenty of articles about self-improvement these past few months, and most of them tell you that you need to wake up and keep positive(積極的). When you wake up, you need to think that something great is going to happen today, and that you are going to have a great day. This kind of positive attitude(態(tài)度) is supposed to change your whole day.

So this morning I woke up and decided to give it a whirl. The sun was shining brightly through my bedroom window, and it immediately gave me this warm feeling inside. I thought to myself, "Today is going to be a great day. One of the best days ever!" I got out of bed, took my morning shower and began to get dressed. I put on a pair of dress pants I have not warned in a while, followed by my dress shirt and that is when it began. I reached into my left pocket and pulled out what felt like some paper.

You know that feeling of finding a $20 hill in your pants and it feels like free money? Because you forgot all about it and thought you never did?

I pulled out a $100 bill and a $50 bill in the same pocket. It seemed like the best thing that had happened to me these days. Yes, $150 starts off my day! I'm sure if someone could have seen the smile on my face, they would have understood, I shouted in joy, with my poor dog looking at me like I was crazy!

Start your morning off thinking you are going to have the best day ever and you just might! I really want to know what will happen next.

【題目】For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges(挑戰(zhàn)) of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.

Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains(大腦). In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.

In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing(組織) their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as maths.

What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.

In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes(跳繩), played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.

All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull(遲鈍的) boy, but will also negatively(消極地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.

Parents complain(抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”

【1】What does the underlined words “rest easy” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Stop worrying. B. Keep working.

C. Continue learning. D. Study hard.

【2】What kind of children is better at organizing their schoolwork in the most recent study?

A. They study all the time.

B. They play for half an hour every day.

C. They finish their homework on time.

D. They do some reading after class every day.

【3】In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?

A. Doing activities is bad for the students.

B. Doing more homework can get better marks.

C. The children in the activity group did better on the tests.

D. Children who didn’t do any activities did better on the tests.

【4】To help children get better grades, parents should _____.

A. ask the researchers for help

B. help them to organize their schoolwork

C. encourage them to do more activities

D. let them solve problems by themselves

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

【題目】Ever feel like no one really understands you well? “ Pepper” could be about to change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions(情感識別功能), Pepper can react to people when it is near them－making jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese.

The man-like robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a tablet computer（平板電腦） set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.

Pepper can examine facial expressions(面部表情)，human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework on the cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.

Pepper gets power from love inside a family. Not only is he making jokes, makingthem laugh, it can also help people when they are in trouble. In a natural accident, it can help make those people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.

Pepper goes on sale in Japan for around $2,000 in February 2015. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling Peppers, they want the robots to store more knowledge, to do better in gettingalong with human.
