When I was a child, my father had to do three jobs for a family of seven. Every time I saw him come back late, looking tired, I promised myself that someday I would show my thanks to my father for what he had done.

The wind tried pushing Colin to the ground. It felt as if Colin’s news-bag was full of potatoes.

Maybe it had to do with the news Dad read before Colin left. The morning headlines（标题）were full of the usual sad stories.

“No good news again!” Dad said.

Car accidents! House burns! Storm damage（损害）!

Colin moved quickly from house to house leaving papers in the mailbox. He wished he could bring only good news to his family, also to his friendly neighbours. “How could I make things better for everyone?” he wondered.

Colin noticed Alice coming. She only had one real eye. The other was made of glass. He liked Alice even if many others laughed at her. He didn’t realize how much it helped her, having a friend like Colin.

Each time Colin left a paper by a customer’s door, he thought, “How could I make some good news?”

Colin gave his usual cheerful “Hi” to everyone on his way. His smile was like the rising sun.

Someone was crying and he ran to where a little boy had fallen and hurt his leg. Colin calmed him down until the boy’s mother arrived.

“I’m glad you’re my paperboy,” she told Colin.

He continued on his way, but he didn’t feel tired. It was fun doing what he usually did—helping others.

He raced up the street to his last customer. Mrs. Williams saw Colin coming and had peanut butter cookies as a treat for her favourite paperboy. She wondered why such a lively boy always had time to chat with an old lady.

Colin’s own treat for his customers came from his heart. He did have much good news to share, even if he didn’t realize it. His smile and polite manners brought cheering-up news to all his customers.

28. What was Colin’s trouble?

A. His news-bag was too heavy. B. He had heard of many sad stories.

C. His dad didn’t like his job as a paperboy. D. He couldn’t bring good news to his customers.【出处：21教育名师】

29. What was Colin’s treat for his customers?

A. His smile and polite manners. B. His papers full of good news.

C. His honesty and happiness. D. His confidence and friendship.

30. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. No news is good news B. How paperboys work

C. The boring job as a paperboy D. A sunny paperboy

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at over 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.

The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.

Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile."It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops." said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University." Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows." However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile .Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was sold to France's King Francis I in 1519.

In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.

During World War II ,French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.

Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.

Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information ( positscience. com). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy (准确性).Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to tell sounds (between "dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you-faster and faster to keep you challenge.You may start out slow, but before long you're pretty quick,

The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process. To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language. . . "When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do ' use it or lose it' ,"says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.

34. Dr. Merzenich's training method mainly depends on_________.

A. speech training B. computer languages

C. the activities one joins in D. the information being dealt with

35. What can we learn from the text?

A .Practice makes a quick mind.

B. Brain research started ten years ago.

C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer.

D. People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

36. Which of the following agrees with the writer's idea?

A. The training methods work better for the old.

B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.

C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.

D. It's necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.

37. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If you are 71 years old, your brain is too old to train.

B. You can eat the food to keep your brain young and plastic.

C. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to train brains.

D. You will feel younger when you train your brain.21教育网

Nowadays, More and more rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than have them educated in China.

As every coin has two sides, studying abroad is the same. There are advantages for people to attend school abroad. In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is clear that it’s the best chance to improve second-language than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world. He can get familiar with the knowledge updated in science and get the chance to use the first-rate facilities (设备) available. In this way, there is every chance for him to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.

Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it hard to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
