【原文】

M: Wow, I had no idea it was going to be so sunny here! I thought Alaska was supposed to be cold.

W: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it’s just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon.

M: Interesting. The days are really long right now. I don’t think the sun has been down for more than a few hours the whole time I’ve been here.

W: Yeah, that’s another interesting thing about the summers here. We’re so far north that we’re exposed to the sun for almost the entire day. In winter, the opposite is true.

M: You mean it’s dark the whole time?

W: Well, not the whole time…but maybe for two-thirds of every day from December to February.

M: Whoa! How do you make it through every year? As a California native, I wouldn’t be able to handle that for more than one season!

W: I guess I’m used to it. When I was a kid, it was pretty fun to play with flashlights and have campfires outside in the afternoon. I never noticed that life was worse because it was always dark.

【題目】How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 1 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.

Be yourself.

2 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

3

Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

Believe in yourself.

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接觸) with other people. 4 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

Remember people’s names.

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 5 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵稱). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.

A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.

B. Be friendly to others.

C. Join afterschool activities you like.

D. Making new friends can be hard, too.

E. Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!

F. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.

G. Never change who you are to try and fit in.

【題目】When I was a kid, the thing I enjoyed most about New Year’s Eve was trying to stay awake until midnight. 1 However, I usually fell asleep before the New Year arrived. It wasn’t until my 10th birthday that I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family. When I woke up the next morning, my mom asked me if I wanted to make a New Year’s resolution.(決心要做的事).

2After she explained it to me, I said I would try to fight less with my older brother. This got me a smile and a pat (輕拍)on the head from my mom. Unfortunately, the resolution lasted only until dinnertime. 3

A New Year’s resolution is a decision to do or not do something in order to accomplish a personal goal or break a habit. It comes at a time when people look back at the past year and make an effort to improve themselves as the new year begins.

4 Kids make resolutions to get along better with others or to do their homework right away.

Remember that it takes work to keep a New Year’s resolution. 5 As long as you stay committed to what you want to accomplish, you’ll be a better person at the end of the year than you were at the beginning!

A.My parents didn’t force me to go to bed early.

B.I had no idea what a New Year’s resolution was.

C.Don’t worry if you fail to make it once or twice.

D.Be kind to your friends, teachers and family members.

E.You can consider the following New Year resolutions.

F.Adults often make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight or exercise more.

G.The reason is that my brother and I got into an argument about who would set the table.

【題目】Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as even when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(嘗試) increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表) are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學(xué)習(xí))for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

1What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

A. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.

C. People remember well what they learned in childhood.

D. Stories for children are easy to remember.

2The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.

A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules

C. making a comparison D. using examples

3According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.

A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming

C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies

4What is the author's opinion on cramming?

A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It's helpful only in a limited way.

C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students' learning interest.

【題目】 Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare. The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment.

Asher, a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience, and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment. One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft, deep straw. After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks, the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.

“To do this, we trained each pig. In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets — pigs love them — and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans, which pigs find bittertasting,” a researcher said.

Over a number of training trials, pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets. On the contrary, they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.

The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react. Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside, showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets. Others, however, behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans, displaying pessimism.

The findings suggest that a onesizefitsall answer to animal welfare issues does not exist. Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people, there is still cause for concern. Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.

1What was the study trying to figure out?

A.How to make pigs happier.

B.The similarities between humans and pigs.

C.How living environment affected pigs' mood.

D.How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.

2What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Simple.B.More comfortable.

C.Unpractical.D.Less free.

3What do the findings of the new research imply?

A.People should treat pigs equally.

B.People's health relies on meat quality.

C.People should meet pigs' various needs.

D.People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.
