【題目】 Yesterday Dr. Hill put braces（牙箍）on my teeth. When she finished doing it, she walked me out to the front desk. She told Grandma would have to come back in two weeks to have my braces checked “Sounds like she put a washing machine in your mouth, doesn’t it. Amy？” joked Grandma. Then Dr. Hill give me an appointment for 2: 30 p.m. on October 28th. Oh, well, I guess getting out of school early to see Dr. Hill will be one good thing about having braces.

Other things are not so good. When I woke up this morning. My mouth really hurt. I couldn’t eat any bread or meat. Finally Mom mashed（搗爛）banana and mixed it with some milk in the honey, which tasted good. At school, my friends tried to be nice about my braces. Benny said he could hardly notice them unless I smiled. (Note to myself: Try not to smile too much.) Angel said they made me look more grown-up. And Keith thanked me for joining him. He said my braces looked nicer than his.

Of course, Charlie had mean things to say. First he called me Brace Face, and then he called me Metal Mouth. I ignored (不理睬) him, but he kept laughing and pointing. He didn’t stop until Mrs. Fremont gave him one of her looks. Right now, Dr. Hill’s not sure how long I’ll have to wear the braces. But it may be at least nine months. That seems like a long, long time.

【題目】 You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world. And that, after oil, it is the second biggest traded goods．You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted and then ground (研磨)．But what else do you know about this popular drink?

It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd (牧羊人) named Kaldi. One day

Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely. Instead of eating grass quietly, they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed some red “cherries” from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement. He felt like dancing too!

But it wasn't used as a drink at first. It was used as food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal fat, were used by monks(修道士）to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Ethiopia, coffee was later cultivated (培育) in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000．Three centuries later Muslims were crazy coffee drinkers and as Islam(伊斯蘭教) spread, so did coffee. Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca．

For hundreds of years the plants were protected safely. But some beans were carried out of Arabia and taken to India secretly. In the 17th century, coffee was soon grown in a new continent. From India to Indonesia, a century later the beans were once again carried to Brazil. Brazil is now the largest coffee

producer in the world.

It was the caffeine that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea, coffee has the most caffeine. In the short term, a couple of cups of coffee can prevent tiredness and put off sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can cause worries and restlessness.

【1】Who played an important role in spreading coffee?

A.Kaldi.B.monks.C.Muslims.D.goats.

【2】The first coffee drink was developed in about_________.

A.the 11th century.B.the 14th century.

C.the 17th century.D.the 10th century.

【3】What is the fight route (線路) that coffee was spread?

A.Ethiopia → India → Indonesia → Brazil

B.Ethiopia→Indonesia→Brazil→ India

C.India → Indonesia→Ethiopia → Brazil

D.Brazil →India→ndonesia → Ethiopia

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.Coffee was fLrSt used as food.

B.Coffee plants were protected safely for hundreds of years.

C.Too much coffee can make people worried.

D.Caffeine is only found in coffee.

【5】More people drink coffee than tea in the world because_________.

A.coffee berries can be eaten

B.coffee can prevent tiredness and put off sleep

C.coffee has the most caffeine

D.It's easy for people to make coffee

【題目】 The 21st century discoveries about the human brain and its functioning have showed the surprising fact that human abilities are not fixed at birth. In other words, what you are able to do with your life is not fixed when you are born. It is not all in the genes( 基 因 ). It is not just nature: nurture(教育, 培育) plays an important part in the moulding(塑造) of what a person is, and what he/she can be.

Brain plasticity(可塑性) or neuroplasticity(神經(jīng)可塑性) refers to the amazing ability of the human brain to modify(修改) its structure and functions according to the changes within the body and/or in the outer environment.

In his book “The Brain that Changes Itself” psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., offers an introduction to the great scientists strongly supporting neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they’ve changed. The book describes real life stories of stroke( 中 風(fēng) ) patients learning to speak again, and the amazing story of a woman born with half a brain that restructured itself to work as a whole. It is a book that changes the way we think about our brain, its nature, and its potential(潛能).

The genes we receive from our parents are finite(有限的), no doubt about that. However, our brain’s ability to develop is infinite. New brain cells are being born all the time, and to keep them alive and growing, we have to stimulate(刺激) them.

Here lies the promise of neuroplasticity in the moulding of children into adults who are capable of realizing their potential. For genius is nothing but a human being who has realized his/her inborn potential! What Mozart, Einstein and da Vinci had was inborn potential plus(和，外加) the right environment.

All geniuses started life in exactly the same way. They had parents who supported the development of their individual gifts and talents. They had the right environment and stimuli(刺激， 刺激物) that led to the best development of themselves.

You can think about your child’s gifts as the merging(融合的) colours of a rainbow. The

possibilities are endless. All children are born with three natural abilities that provide them with the potential to think like a genius: the abilities to think, to learn and to develop their own individual way of thinking and learning.

Can your child be a genius? Yes, he/she can be, if you give him/her the right environment, the right stimuli and the right guidance.

【1】What does the human brain modify when the outer environment changes?

A.The world.B.The stimuli.

C.Its colour.D.Its structure and functions.

【2】Which statement is true according to the passage?

A.Human abilities are fixed when they were born.

B.A stroke patient can never learn to speak again.

C.Nurture can mould of what a person is because our brain has its nature and potential.

D.The genes we receive from our parents completely decide what we can do or can’t do.

【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 7?

A.Discovering the time your child can be a genius.

B.Discovering the gifts and talents of your child.

C.Discovering the reason your child wants to be a genius.

D.Discovering the colour of the natural abilities of your child.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Is your child a genius?B.Can your child be a genius?

C.Do you want to be a genius?D.Is it important to be a genius?

【題目】 My father was born in a small town in the US. He wanted to get out and begin a new adventure. He began that adventure by traveling to different cities in the US before going on to other countries. He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.

It's easy to feel lonely when you're on the road. As my mother said repeatedly ,“We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were workers who fix cars, since we often spent hours in repair shops during the journey."

Getting along sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back-seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness. When in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour drive but was nearly three, thanks to bad roads and worse traffic.“Did you put our suitcases (行李箱) in the car?" My father asked my mother as we arrived. "No," she said. "I thought you did." That

was how a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence. In situations like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger. We were stuck (困在) in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.

This is why road trips were like moving universities to us. We earned our PhDs(博士學(xué)位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in that old car.

【1】Who did the writer’s family make many friends with on their trip?

A.Other travelers.B.Shop owners.C.Car repair workers.D.Tour guides.

【2】What does the underlined word "forgiveness" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.原諒B.放棄C.堅(jiān)持D.遺忘

【3】What do we know about their trip in the Philippines?

A.They took a train to Quezon City.

B.The writer's mother lost their suitcases.

C.One of the writer's sisters was pushed out of the car.

D.They spent more time driving than they planned.

【4】What word would the writer use to describe these trips?

A.Adventurous.B.Educational.C.Boring.D.Surprising.
