A few years after I was born, a stranger appeared in our small town. Dad liked this attractive newcomer very much and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position. Mom taught me how to tell good from bad, and Dad taught me to follow orders. But the stranger was our storyteller. He would keep us listening for hours with adventures, mysterious stories and comedies. If I wanted to know something about history or science, he always knew the answers. He knew about the past, understood the present and even seemed to be able to know what would happen in the future! With his help, my family even watched a national ball game for the first time.
Both my brothers and I enjoyed sitting around the stranger. He made us laugh; he made us cry, and he never stopped talking. Dad didn’t seem to mind. However , Mom thought he was too talkative. Sometimes she would go to the kitchen for peace and quietness.
My dad didn’t allow drinking, but the stranger encouraged us to try it. He also made us feel that smoking looked cool and manly. He talked freely (much too freely!).
Fifty years has passed since the stranger moved in and now I am fifty-four. I now know that my early childhood was strongly influenced by the stranger. Many times, he challenged the values of my parents, yet nobody stopped him or asked him to leave. What is his name? We just call him—”TV”. He has a younger sister now. We call her “computer”.

A. Mom. B. Dad. C. TV. D. Brother

Do you believe that only boys do well in science? Does it seem to you that girls have better language skills than boys? In your opinion, are boys better at building things? If your answer to each of those questions is “Yes”, you are right, according to an article in Current Science. There are exceptions(例外), but here are the facts. Usually, boys score higher in tests about math, while girls do better in tests about words, spelling and memory. But these differences may not always be true. In the future, a person’s abilities may not be decided by gender.
Jerome Kagan, a scientist at Harvard University, is studying the watching ability of 10-month-old children recently. Baby boys and baby girls are watching a “show” while seated on their mothers’ laps. In Act I of the show, an orange-colored ball is lifted from a blue box and moved slowly. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated six times. Act II is almost the same with Act I, except that the orange ball is smaller.
Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the ball, but baby girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises.
It’s also known that baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than baby boys do. Scientists believe that the left side of the brain develops faster in girls than in boys. As a result, by the time they start to school, little girls have an advantage that boys don’t have, but what have the boys been doing in the years before starting school? They have been developing something called aggression. An aggressive person feels strong and independent. He is often the first one to start a fight. It is said that aggression is caused by hormones(荷尔蒙). Scientists believe that hormones are not the only reason. They say aggression in boys is also caused by mothers.
1.What can we learn from Paragraph One?
A. Boys and girls have completely different skills.
B. Girls always get higher scores than boys in math.
C. Boys may usually do better in building things than girls.
D. It is impossible for girls to become a scientist in the future.
2.The writer uses the example of the orange balls to show that ____.
A. baby boys are cleverer than baby girls
B. baby boys are not interested in shows
C. baby girls are better at watching different things
D. baby girls talk at an earlier age than baby boys do
3.Scientists believe that ____.
A. girls never start a fight with others
B. boys’ left side of the brain doesn’t develop at all
C. boys are all bad at study when they start school
D. boys’ left side of the brain develops slower than girls’
4.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “aggression”?
A. Feelings of anger.
B. Feelings of sadness.
C. Feelings of happiness.
D. Feelings of disappointment.
5.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Development of our brains.
B. Differences between boys and girls.
C. Relationships between boys and girls.
D. Reasons why boys are smarter than girls.

A video of a hungry and thin polar bear in Canada’s wilderness has gone popular on the Internet. The video shows the bear is in search of food, walking across land with no snow or ice. It is all skin and bones. The bear is looking for food in waste containers. It is at times too weak to support its own body weight and difficult to stand. Paul Nicklen, the photographer who took the video, said the polar bear’s trouble was a clear sign of the surprising effect of climate change. He said filming the animal made them sad. He explain his team members were “holding their tears and emotions(情感) while recording this dying polar bear”.
Mr. Nicklen is part of the environmental group Sea Legacy. His team was on Canada’s Baffin Island to get a documentary on conservation. He said the bear they filmed was not old and probably died within hours. He said, “This is what hunger looks like. The muscles weaken. No energy. It’s a slow, painful death.” he blamed the bear’s sad trouble on global warming. He said, “As temperatures rise and sea ice melts, polar bears lose the main food of their diets-seals.” Climate change is the biggest threat to the world’s 26,000 polar bears. The video explains that bears are “hungry, and running out of energy” and are “forced to walk into human living places for any food”.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain most famous historical places but also one of its great mysteries. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising in the longest day of the year.
On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines direct into the center of the stones. As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet moved up your body. Most people think the position of the stones must be a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor ancestor. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory to an enemy.
Historians think Stonehenge was built about 5000 years ago; but, they are not sure. Perhaps people might never know who built Stonehenge, but it must have been hard-working and great planners!
