But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!

Have you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"? It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true-the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.

What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.

So how do you make a good first impression? All. things grown-ups tell you-such as being polite, and being well-dressed-are very important. However, the most important 'tool' for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.

Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and. be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be; happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress-with a cheerful smile.

You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it's not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what's going on, then tell your brain, `and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. This is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!

The brain weighs just 3 pounds; but is controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ （器官），There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells（细胞）in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Your brain stops growing when you're -18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You' won't be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleep，the brain works for long-term memory establishment（建立）. It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human live.

So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.

1.Is super computer much more powerful than the brain?

2.What can check out what's going on when the glass is about to fall off the table?

3.How much does the brain weigh?

4.What does the underlined word "That" refer to in Paragraph 2?

5.When will your brain stop growing?
