On a stormy day last August, Tim heard someone shouting. Looking at the sea carefully, he saw that two kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, had rowed out in a boat to recover a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The boys were terrified and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

Tim knew that it would soon be swallowed by the waves.

“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls. “I’m trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”

Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to shout to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”

“Let’s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.

Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.

“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.

After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase” once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.

As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail when we cannot see the moon at all; it is called a new moon.

When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.

Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare (稀有的)event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.

1.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”.

A．Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.

B．Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.

3.How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?

A．Once a year.                           B．Less than once a year.

C．More than once a year.                   D．At least twice a year.

Have you ever heard someone say, “You completely look like you’re a Jessica” or someone similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?

According to a research in the Journey of personality (个性) and Social Psychology, humans like to connect people’s names with their looks (长相), and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look. Researchers at the Herbrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They put a name under each photo. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that the faces really give them clues (线索) about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s looks are influenced by their name only if they use it often.

This kind of face-name matching happens because we often become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.

The researchers believe there are also stereotype (刻板印象) about names. For example, the volunteers usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. They may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be just like the flowers that they are named for.

1.The purpose of the research is to find out________.

A.how people’s looks influence their names B.if people’s names are related to their looks

C.what the most popular English names are D.if men’s names are different from women’s

2.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to (指代) ________.

A.the women B.the volunteers C.the researchers D.the flowers

3.The volunteers in the research most probably match Picture with the name “Rose”.

A. B. C. D.

4.According to the text, some people look like their names because they________.

A.like to connect their names with their own looks

B.use nicknames more often than their real names

C.have become what others expect them to become

D.look forward to being seen as special persons.

5.Which of the following would most probably have this text?

A.Business Week B.New York Daily News

C.Discovery D.Science Progress
