A Sweet Success
One weekend, Taylor, an eight-year-old girl, asked her parents to buy a toy for her, but her father encouraged her to make money by herself. "How can I make money?" Taylor thought for a while and had an idea, “Why not make cakes and sell them at church to raise money to buy the toy?”
The next day, Taylor started her plan. She borrowed $40 from her parents in order to buy tools and materials at first and promised to pay it back. Then she began to make cakes by herself. To her parents’ surprise, she made $175 by selling the cakes that Sunday.
Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted. She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didn't. Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her father's phone number on them. Then she began handing the cards out. More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes. Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes.
Though Taylor has made a lot of money, she still works hard at school. She also likes to take part in other activities. So Taylor must carefully manage her time. For example, instead of watching TV after school, Taylor might have to bake a lot of cakes for customers. When she has dance lessons on some days, she needs to get her baking done on time so she isn't late for class.
Making cakes may take time and be hard work, but Taylor sees the fun in it. “ I think making cakes is mostly my hobby. ” She says. She also decorates the boxes that are used to pack the cakes. Taylor uses all kinds of decorations to make sure each box looks special for her customers. People love the extra feeling Taylor gives them by decorating the boxes, so more and more people come for her cakes.

【題目】 Smarter than We Thought
It's a popular belief that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds.
It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been, and they don't recognize you or any of their friends—every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A recent study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think. In fact, certain kinds of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.
Researchers used computer software (軟件) to monitor the fish's movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory.
An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively (攻擊性地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence (證據(jù)).
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to live in the wild.
"If fish are able to remember that a certain area has safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees (黑猩猩), dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence(智力).
So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them—they may remember who you are.
【1】What is a popular belief about fish?
A.Fish can remember things for a very short time.
B.Fish can only remember part of their experiences.
C.Fish can remember things that happened 12 days ago.
D.Fish can remember things for longer than three minutes.
【2】According to the passage, fish can ________with a good memory.
A.know where to escape and keep safe
B.find their enemies and fight with them
C.remember where to get food and stay alive
D.recognize their friends and help each other
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Our pet fish can surely remember who we are.
B.Fish are as clever as chimpanzees, dolphins and mice.
C.Clear evidence has shown certain fish can remember their past fights.
D.African cichlids can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.

【題目】 I was born in Damyang, a beautiful place known for its bamboo forests in Korea. I spent much time in the forests painting pictures of the bamboo. Painting is one of my talents. I lived there until last year when my family moved to New York. My mother, a scientist, was asked to come work here.
“There are no bamboo forests,”I said , “there is nothing to paint in New York.” “Don’t worry, my dear daughter. You will find many things to see and paint there,” said my mother . “I will miss home,” I said. “Then you can paint pictures of your favorite places. They will make you feel at home,” she said. So when we moved, I brought my forest paintings with me.
New York was not easy at first. I missed home a lot. Yet when I looked at my paintings of bamboo, I felt much better. I soon found friends at school too. They also like painting, and we now paint in a group after school.
Last month, we had a new neighbor, Varvara, an old lady who moved from Russia, to be closer to her daughter. She was sad to leave her home. My mother and I often visited her. She told us her homesickness and everything about her hometown Vyborg. I could picture her home in my head.
Varvara missed her home so much that she became ill. I worried about her and I wanted to do something for her. I had ever been in her situation before . At least , I had my forest paintings of home. However, she didn’t even have that . Unless...
A few days later, I met Varvara on the stairs. She looked better but still sad. I gave her my gift: a painting of Vyborg. I had painted it from her memories.
She began to cry as she saw the painting. At first , I was worried that she didn’t like it. Later, she told me that those were tears of joy. I knew just how she felt-wherever you go , hometown is always with you.
