The weather can influence(影響)intelligence(智力). For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot weather. At about 18 °C, people become stronger.
Lower air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 °C.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
小題1:What can influence people’s intelligence according to the first paragraph?
A．Feeling.B．Diet.C．HealthD．Weather.
小題2:Students get worse on exams because ___________.
A．they take exams in hot monthsB．they take exams in cold months
C．they take exams with bad feelingsD．they take exams in windy months
小題3:At a temperature of about 18 °C. people may_________.
A. leave more bags on buses                    B. like to go shopping
C. remember things better                      D. feel unhappy
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．A report in 1983 showed that weather can influence intelligence.
B．The wind can make people cleverer.
C．Hot summer is a hard time for fat people.
D．Weather has nothing to do with people’s feelings.

小題1:D
小題1:A
小題1:C
小題1:D
本文大意:主要說了天氣對人的智力和情感的影響。
1. 從第一段第一句“The weather can influence(影響)intelligence(智力).”可以看出天氣對智力有影響，所以選D.

4. 從本文最后一段最后一句可以看出，“你傷心、疲勞、健忘、不高興，可能是天氣的原因”所以本題D項“天氣對人的情感沒有影響”是不真實的.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends，” he said， “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money， you still wanted it because it did not go down in value （價值）。 It was still worth ￥ l00！”
Many times in our lives， we are dropped， crum-pled， and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember， no matter what has happened to you， you will never lose your value： you are always valuable to those people who love you.

In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls(管理)traffic on the city’s 235 miles of seven expressways. Now one—a controller—can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights. The system uses electric sensors(感應(yīng)器) that are built into each expressway, every half a mile. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow or red lights on a map in the control room. A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic—cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
“See that red light near Austin Avenue?”the controller asked a visitor.“That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again.“A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,”the controller explained.“They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking the traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressway for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the county there are 2.6.
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”.Systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.“Chicago has taken the lead,”said New York City’s traffic director and he added,“Chicago’s a good example.”

In many high schools，there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class，for example，the teacher will be very angry.
Every mobile phone has a ringtone (鈴聲). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now，there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子鈴聲)”. Using it，students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?
Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older，we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率). As a result，a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it’s_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.
But sometimes，people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone. In class，the student’s phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule：no mobile phone in class.”
Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones，a high school student of 17，says，“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure，but not in class. It’s unfair to the teachers！”
What do parents think of mosquitotone？“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters，” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yon’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it. However，it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”
小題1:Mosquitotone works because ________.
A．it is very loudB．it has no sound
C．it has a beautiful soundD．it uses high frequencies
小題2:The under lined part “it’s_inaudible_to” means “________”．
A．it can’t be seen byB．it can’t be heard by
C．it isn’t popular withD．it isn’t healthy for
小題3:The 32­year­old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.
A．was late for classB．didn’t do his homework
C．couldn’t answer her questionD．was using a mobile phone in class
小題4:Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.
A．has no bad influenceB．is unfair to the teachers
C．has its advantage and disadvantageD．can’t be used in any public place

The expression “down to earth” means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with some one who is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.
Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filed with his own importance and pride is said to have his nose in the air.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality（現(xiàn)實）. He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real.
The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day－dreamer.
When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us— solid(牢固的) and strong.
小題1:A down-to-earth person could be_____________.
A．social and proudB．good and oppositeC．real and importantD．strong and changeable
小題2:The expression “has one’s nose in the air” means_____________.
A．眉飛色舞B．目中無人C．瞻前顧后D．春風(fēng)得意
小題3:This passage mainly talks about_____________.

C．the lifestyle of honest peopleD．honesty and understanding
小題4:If you want to understand what is real in life, you have to_____________.
A．get along with other people easilyB．learn from those who are down to earth
C．be a good dreamer with quick mindD．have both your feet on the ground
小題5:If you only consider your own importance, __________.
A．you’ll think you are better than others
B．your life will be like the solid and strong ground
