What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival? I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(傷害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(損害) affect”.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(減弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(數(shù)量) of detail(細節(jié)) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?
小題1: When we take photos, we _________.
A．fail to focus on the event itself
B．can’t record the details
C．remember what we have seen
D．are likely to have a poor memory
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?
A．People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment.
B．They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.
C．The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
D．People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.
小題3:According to the passage, we’d better _________.
A．never use our cameras
B．remember an event by heart
C．always remember an event with the help of a camera
D．see everything only with our own eyes
小題4:What do the results of the experiment show us?
A．The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.
B．People remember happiest moments by taking photos.
C．Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.
D．People don’t like taking photos.
小題5:Where can we probably read this passage?
A．The entrance of a museum.
B．A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
C．An instruction of how to use a camera.
D．A scientific report.

Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey: ①Scary movies and TV shows; ②Scary dreams; ③Thunderstorms, hurricanes, and other terrible weather; ④War and terrorism*; ⑤Sounds heard at night.
It seems that not everyone is afraid of the same thing. What makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear?
Fear is a feeling that everyone has — it’s programmed into all of us — and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
Real vs. Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches, he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief I hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.

小題1:Which of the following can’t help a kid fight the fear of dark?
A．Using imaginations to think of witches.
B．Their parents coming over to comfort them.
C．Using a nightlight to see there’s nothing under the bed.
D．Shining a flashlight to see there’s nothing under the bed.
小題2:What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Ugly.B．Usual.
C．Unreal.D．Lovely
小題3:What is the second paragraph of the passage mainly about?
A．Fourteen scary things kids list.
B．People are afraid of different things.
C．The biggest fear for kids are always the same.
D．The things frighten people are the same as the survey.
小題4:Which is TRUE about the writer’s opinion?
A．Having a sense of fear is not a bad thing.
B．Nothing can help kids to get over a fear.
C．Fear is something we get when we are older.
D．Not all people can react to dangerous things.

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.
Polluted air from cars, planes and factories is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(煙霧). Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Last weekend, our family went to have Christmas dinner in a restaurant. We were the only family with a baby in the restaurant. Suddenly, my baby Erik became excited when we were enjoying our meal. I looked around and saw an old man with old clothes and dirty old shoes. His hair was unwashed. He was smiling at my Erik.
“He might hurt my Erik,” I thought. Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and the old man. Then we decided to leave. The old man sat between the door and us.
