How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from?
It is your brain (大腦) that does these things. A British scientist showed that sleep can improve one’s memory. It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brain is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of your brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(按鈕)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented(有才能的).
There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning（打哈欠）keeps your brain “cool”, which makes us think quicker.
Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:
● Eat healthy food.
● Get a lot of playtime or exercise.
● Don’t drink or smoke.
● Use your brain a lot.
小題1:A British scientist found out that               .
A．drinking could affect our memories.
B．dreams could affect our memories.
C．sleep could improve our memories.
D．bananas could improve our memories.
小題2:According to the passage, if we want to have a good brain, we should  .
A．use our brains more

小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

SPACE is a lonely place. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers from home, astronauts have a hard life. It stands to reason that, once in a while, they need to have a good cry. But this is a lot harder than it sounds.
We still know very little about space, and about living in zero gravity. In fact, we are discovering new things every time astronauts take to the skies (and beyond). As The Atlantic reported in January, crying is not all that simple in space. This is because when a person normally cries,  gravity makes their tears move downwards. But in a spacecraft, this is not the case. Here, there is no gravity, which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating around. This means that, strangely, when you cry your tears have nowhere to go. As a result, they just stick to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this. “Tears,” as he said, “don’t fall off your eye… they just kind of stay there. ” This can be quite painful. In space, your eyes get very dry, and the added moisture is irritating (氣人的). Sometimes, things get even weirder(更怪異的). The astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough, they “break free of the eye and float around”.
No one can be quite sure why we cry. Why should water in our eyes have anything to do with feeling sad? If you stop to think about it, crying is a very strange thing indeed. And now, thanks to the wonders of space, it just got even stranger.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us that       .
A．living in space is lonely
B．it’s easy to feel sad in space
C．it’s hard to cry in space
D．nobody wants to live in space
小題2:If astronauts cry in spacecraft, their tears will       .
A．move downwardsB．move upwards
C．go out of the windowD．stick to their eyes
小題3:Astronauts feel       if tears are always in their eyes.
A．sadB．comfortableC．happyD．uncomfortable
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．In space our eyes are very wet.
B．Tears will float around if they are big enough in space.
C．People know everything about living in zero gravity.
D．Gravity makes people’s tears move upwards in space.

Nobody is happy all the time, but some people are really happier than others. Here are some tips for you to be happy.
Make enough money to meet your basic needs: food, shelter, and clothing. In the US, that magic number is $40,000 a year. Any money you make beyond that will not necessarily make you happier. Once you make enough money to support your basic needs, your happiness is not affected by how much money you make.
______________________________ Or move to where other members are－so you can see them more. Now, people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. As a result, our relationships with our friends and family have a far greater impact (影響) on our happiness than our jobs do. So next time you think about moving, consider a place where most of your friends and families live.
Find happiness in the job you have now. Many people expect (期待) the right job to change their level of happiness. But happiness research makes it clear that changing jobs can’t bring you happiness. If you want, you will make the best of any job. If you have good relationships with people, you won’t depend on (依賴) your job to give your life a greater sense of meaning. You will find it in your interactions with the people you care about.
If you are unhappy for a long time, you should ask an expert (專家) or a doctor for help. I hope you will be happy all the time.
小題1:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _____________.
A．make friends
B．give suggestions
C．put on an advertisement
D．complain about your actions
小題2:The underlined word “interactions” means ____________.

Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.
So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游輪), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.
Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (賭場(chǎng)) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盜) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.
So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投資者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.
And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.
小題1:Where did Friedman use to work?
A．In Facebook.B．In Seastead Institute .C．In PayPal.D．In Google.
小題2:A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.
A．a(chǎn) cruise linerB．a(chǎn) floating cityC．a(chǎn) theme parkD．a(chǎn) fishing farm
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Friedman is planning to move to a new country.
B．Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads.
C．Friedman has got some supporters for his project.
D．Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award.
小題4:Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage?
A．Seasteading: a new idea of living
B．Seasteading: a wild way of farming
C．Peter Thiel: a man behind the project
D．Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追蹤器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼兒園) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now.  It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It's said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.
小題1:According to Dr. Frank,           school buses are safer for the students.
A．yellowB．blackC．whiteD．colorful
