Because plants cannot move or talk, most people believe that they have no feelings and that they cannot receive signals from outside. However, this may not be completely true.
People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge (电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf of the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked or frightened.
A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them -- perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot－then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signaling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living thing such as insects (昆虫).
Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signalled when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room.
Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backster’s. He kept galvanometers fixed on his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.
1.Backster was surprised at the results of his studies because _____.
A. he destroyed an insect
B. he destroyed a plant by pulling off its leaves
C. he found that plants could express feelings of shock
D. he found that plants could move and speak after all
2.The plants sent out signals _____.
A. only when Backster Started to destroy plants
B. when Backster destroyed plants or other living things
C. only when he destroyed things such as insects
D. only when Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants
3.The scientist called Sauvin _____.
A. did not agree with Backster’s ideas
B. did not get the same sort of results as Backster did
C. got different results from Backster’s
D. found out some of the same things that Backster did
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Sauvin could make his plants send out signals some distance away.
B. A tree will signal when it has been cut down.
C. The electrical charge plants carry may shock or frighten us.
D. Plants have feelings because they can receive signals without moving.

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
1.What does the author value most in the communication with each other?
A. Deep understanding. B. Saying “I’m sorry”．
C. Attention from heart. D. Doing nothing.
2.The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.
A. she didn’t get enough respect from others
B. she was discouraged by being often interrupted
C. people often told her their own opinions
D. people couldn’t understand her sad situation
3.If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may________.
A. hurt his feelings
B. make him embarrassed
C. encourage him to continue to cry
D. stop him from letting out his sorrow
4.It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，________.
A. listening is a perfect way to respond to others
B. people keep silent because they don’t know the answer
C. keeping silent means being too shy to speak
D. it is easy to form the habit of listening silently

As we know, it is common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds. However, scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds.
Many people think that once you get infected by colds, you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life. That’s not the case. There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold. You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time, but you might catch a cold next time because of another.
Others believe that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter. That is also wrong.
It’s because people tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes, sneezing, or coughing.
While there is no actual cure for the common cold, scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you. Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey. There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children. Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold.
In addition, if you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything, it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds. That’s very important. Though there is more than one way to deal with colds, doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you.
1.We know from the second paragraph that ______.
A．the common cold is caused by only one virus
B．there are people who never catch a cold
C．colds can be caused by different viruses
D．all people are easily attacked by colds
2. The underlined word “transmitted” in the fourth paragraph means “______”.
A．passed B．changed C．cured D．caused
3.If you have a cold, you can do the following except ______.
A．drinking a lot of water B．drinking chicken soups
C．eating honey D．forcing yourself to eat
4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds
B．different people may have different ways to fight against colds
C．working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds
D．colds can be passed from animals to human beings

Because computer knowledge is important in our society today, many parents believe that the earlier their children begin to use the computer, the better. Accordingly, most children are spending a large amount of time on computers during their preschool years. But is it healthy for preschoolers to use computers? And if so, how can parents decide how much computer time is proper?
Some studies have shown that using computers from an early age has several advantages. Preschoolers who have already attended computer classes come out top in their studies. Also, playing educational games contributes to their language learning and math.
The greatest benefits, though, are gained when preschoolers use computers side by side or when they work with adults. In these situations, preschoolers develop cooperative（合作的）problem-solving skills. They also have the chance to communicate with others, which will reinforce their learning.
Despite many benefits, experts also point out disadvantages of preschool computer use. Preschoolers’ muscles（肌肉）and bones are still developing, but computers and furniture are seldom set up properly for them. "Most parents, says Peter Buckle of the Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics, "seem unaware of the possible dangers of preschoolers sitting for long periods unsupported with necks and wrists（手腕）damaged."
Another problem arises when parents put educational games into computers and believe it’s better for their preschoolers to play these games than sit in front of a TV Educational expert and teacher Jane Healy disagrees. She doesn’t believe there is much difference between the two. "Simply watching a screen is not the same as real mental activity." Healy says. She suggests that reading together, having family discussions, or playing are much more valuable. Besides, Healy also questions whether some popular computer games have educational value. "Some," she says, "may even damage creativity, attention and motivation（动力）.
To make the computer valuable for you and your preschoolers, you need to decide on rules and time limits. When purchasing（购买）software for your preschoolers, look for programs that offer many different functions, which can help improve preschoolers creativity and ability to solve problems. Above all, try your best to stay with your preschoolers rather than leaving them alone before the computer.
Here are some additional tips:
*Adjust（调整）the computer and furniture for your preschoolers use;
*Manage your preschoolers’ computer activities;
*Limit the amount of time your preschoolers spend on the computer
1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that___.
A.computers are good for preschoolers’ learning.
B.most preschoolers are familiar with computers.
C.preschoolers shouldn’t use computers too early.
D.preschoolers can learn to use computers easily.
2.What does the underlined word "reinforce" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Protect. B.Strengthen.
C.Continue. D.Praise.
3.Peter Buckle most probably agrees that__.
A.parents have realized the dangers of preschoolers, using computers.
B.using computers has many advantages for preschoolers.
C.improper computer use can lead to health problems.
D.preschoolers are developing too fast nowadays.
4.According to Jane Healy, parents should__.
A.forbid their preschoolers to watch TV.
B.join in their preschoolers’ practical activities.
C.encourage their preschoolers’ creativity.
D.realize that educational computer games are valuable.

And if so, how can parents decide how much computer time is proper?
Some studies have shown that using computers from an early age has several advantages. Computer classes are given in most kindergartens and grade schools, so preschoolers who have already become familiar with the operation of the keyboard and mouse come out top in their studies. They may also have an advantage if they have the chance to play educational games, from which they can learn language and math.
The greatest benefits, though, are gained when preschoolers use computers side by side or when they work with adults.

Most people think that good looks and being smart will give you advantage in life. The first is God-given. 1. In this article we explore some different ways to become smarter.
Go to college, and get an education. 2. It means that you will have been exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you will have learned how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess.
Read books and educational magazines. 3. Educational magazines such as Discovery or National Geographic are a wealth of knowledge that you can share with others, thus making you sound very smart. If you do watch television, try watching something where you can learn such as the History Channel, Discovery etc.
Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It does not seem like much, but adding 52 new words to your vocabulary will really make you appear much smarter. Subscribing to vocabulary.com is a good start. 4. This way you are actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.
5. Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this. They hear an outrageous(骇人的) claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your quest for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.
A. That is my exact point.
B. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking.
C. You will have a new word sent to your e-mail address daily.
D. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television.
E. The programs actually provide you with information you can use.
