【題目】It was raining as I ran out of the church, eager to get home and play with the gifts Father Christmas sent me. Across the street was a gas station, which was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing under the narrow overhang to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I couldn’t wait to see my gifts.
Once I got home, there was hardly any time to enjoy my gifts. My grandparents were still waiting for us to have Christmas dinner together at their house. As we drove down the highway, I noticed that the family was still there.
The closer we got to my grandparents’ house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned and said, “I can’t stand it!” “What?” asked my mother. “It’s those people back there at the gas station, standing in the rain.”
When my father pulled into the station, I saw there were five of them: the parents and three children—two girls and a small boy. Then we learned that the family was waiting for the bus to Birmingham, where the man planned to find a job.
“Well, that bus won’t come along for several hours. Winborn’s just a few miles away, and there is a shed(棚) with a cover there,” my father advised. “I will run you up there.”
Then they climbed into our car,. My father looked back and asked the children if Father Christmas had found them. Three sad faces gave him his answer.
“Well, Father Christmas said he was having trouble finding you, so he just left your toys at my house this morning. Let’s go to get them first,” my father said. All at once, the three children’s faces lit up.
When we arrived at our house, one girl spied a lovely doll, that little boy took a ball, and the other girl picked up something else. That was the Christmas when I learned the joy of making others happy.
【1】At the gas station the family might feel______.
A. anxious B. disappointed
C. frightened D. ashamed
【2】The three children received Christmas gifts thanks to_______.
A. the author B. the author’s father
C. their parents D. their grandparents
【3】We can learn from the text that the author’s father_____.
A. knew that family very well
B. got lost on the way to Winborn
C. sent that family to Birmingham
D. was happy to help those in trouble
【4】What would be the best title for the text?

試題分析：本文是一片記敘文，講述了圣誕節(jié)這天我們一家開車去爺爺家吃飯，途中又碰到了那躲雨的一家子，原來這一家人在等車去伯明翰，善良的父親主動把他們帶到一個可以停留的地方，還送了孩子圣誕禮物的故事。
【1】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第二段“Then we learned that the family was waiting for the bus to Birmingham, where the man planned to find a job.”還有我父親說的“that bus won’t come along for several hours”可以推斷當(dāng)時這一家是很焦慮的。B.disappointed失望的；C. frightened害怕的；D. ashamed羞愧的。故選A。
【2】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段第一句“Well, Father Christmas said he was having trouble finding you, so he just left your toys at my house this morning. Let’s go to get them first,” my father said.可以推斷出那三個小孩的禮物是作者的父親給的,故選B。
【3】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段父親說的“I can’t stand it!”和第七段可以推斷出作者的父親很樂意幫助那些有困難的人，故選D。
【4】C主旨判斷題。作者的父親幫助了一家人，還送了禮物給那家的孩子們，最后一句話“That was the Christmas when I learned the joy of making others happy.”所以，不僅是那家的孩子們得到了禮物，對作者來說，父親給他上了一課，也是一份特殊的禮物。故選C。

【題目】New research shows that the healthy brain may hold memories which we don’t even remember. In The Journal of Neuroscience, experts report that the brain might hold more memories than people realize, but that restoring those memories can be tricky.
Memory Check
First, participants saw a list of 120 real words mixed with 80 nonsense words. Next, they saw another word list and tried to remember which words had been on the first list. Meanwhile, their brains were scanned with functional magnetic resonance(核磁共振) imaging.
While participants reviewed the second word list, their brain scans showed more activity in a certain brain area -- the posterior（后部的） median temporal lobe(腦葉) -- when they saw words that had been on the first word list.
But participants didn’t always remember that they’d seen those words before. Sometimes, theygoofedand said they hadn’t seen those words before. In other words, the posterior median temporal lobe was more sensitive to memory than participants’ consciousness, the researchers note.
“Album”of Memories
Another part of the median temporal lobe also attracted the scientists’ attention. The anterior（前面的）median temporal lobe showed more activity when participants thought they were seeing a new word, the study shows.
So, why did participants sometimes mess up their memory recall? It might be that two parts of their brain -- the posterior and anterior median temporal lobes -- might be dueling(決斗) for the upper hand in deciding what actually happened in the past, the study notes.
In other words, memories might have a photo album in the brain, but sometimes we forget what’s on all of the photo album’s pages.
【1】A person sometimes has difficulty recalling because .
A. he is unconscious when he gets his memories
B. he forgets what is on the pages of the photo album
C. there are two parts in his brain dueling for the upper advantage
D. the anterior median temporal lobe is more active than the posterior
【2】According to the passage the researchers are .
A. studying how a person remembers things
B. studying a magazine The Journal of Neuroscience
C. examining posterior and anterior median temporal lobes
D. doing experiments to find out what disturbs a person’s memory
【3】What did the experts discover when the participants saw the words on the first word list appear on the second word list?
A. The instrument worked faster.
B. The participants were more conscious.
C. The posterior median temporal lobe was more active.
D. The anterior median temporal lobe was more active.
【4】The underlined wordgoofedin the fourth paragraph means .
A. made a mess of B. made an answer for
C. made out of D. made the best of

【題目】Personal money-management website Mint.com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards—possibly starting as young as middle school. The website says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons.
It’s absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly. But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise this is questionable.
Yes, credit cards are a teaching tool, but it’s the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching, not the piece of plastic. Sit down with your child—here we are referring to teens and walk them through your credit card statements. Point out important things like the due date, late fee warning, and APR (年貸款利率).
If you have good credit, adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable moments. Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.
Since the card is still in your name, you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility.
Another option is to set them up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card (借記卡). Unlike credit card, the debit card has no overdraft (透支) function.
Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank account. If the account is empty, the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register.
【1】Why does Mint.com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?
A. To leave their kids financially independent.
B. To help their kids form good spending habits.
C. To teach their kids' how to save pocket money.
D. To strengthen the relationship with their kids.
【2】The author considers a credit card as a teaching tool because ______.
A. it motivates teens to ask their parents for less financial support
B. it helps teenagers to know some basic knowledge of credit cards
C. it contains detailed financial information on the card surface
D. it offers parents the chance to teach kids to manage money
【3】What is the purpose of adding kids as credit card authorized users?
A. To avoid extremely high overdraft fees.
B. To encourage them to share household expenses.
C. To teach them to be responsible credit card users.
D. To help them pay close attention to their bank account.
【4】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. Further information about the debit card.
B. The overdraft functions of a debit card.
C. More disadvantages of credit cards.
D. The kids' attitude towards a credit card.
