Everybody has a brain, but not many people know how the brain works. Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer. We use it to store files—pictures, language (words, texts, sounds) and so on. Others compare the brain to a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it. We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.

The brain is not A computer disk, And it isn’t a cupboard. Look at the picture here. It looks a bit like weeds （杂草） in a garden, doesn’t it? The picture actually shows a child’s neocortex—a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing. You can guess what happens—more “weeds” grow as the child gets older. Scientists call these neuronal （神经元的） networks. The networks grow around our neurons. -What makes them grow? Learning! “Learning is brain change,” says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA ． “Without learning, nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”

The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember. You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better. Professor Zull says yes, there is. He says that brain change is strongest when a) you are interested in and like what you are learning, b) you are in control of what you learn and c) you get challenging tasks that make you think hard. Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain.

15 ． What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A ． The brain—a fantastic computer. B ． What people believe about the brain.

C ． How to make your brain stronger. D ． Our brain—a growing system.

16 ． What can we learn from the passage 2?

A ． Learning makes our neuronal networks grow. B ． Seeing a challenging task develops our brain.

C ． We remember better when things are easy. D ． There’s nothing we can do to make us smarter.

17 ． What’s the best title for the passage?

A ． Interest is the best teacher B ． Meeting life’s challenges

C ． Never too late to learn D ． Learning is brain change

【2019 • 湖北省襄阳】

When I saw Ronny for the first time, he looked like other kids in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.

On the day when it was Ronny’s turn to read. he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out “Bud the Sub”. It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet (字母).

The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award(颁奖) ceremony. I had gifts and certificates(证书) for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit; I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on “The Most Progressive Reader”.  I showed his certificate and a book.

A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, “He hasn’t put that book down. That’s the first book he’s ever owned. ”

Fighting back tears(眼泪) I came near Ronny and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” He nodded. And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more smoothly than I’d ever thought. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said, “Good book. ”

At that moment, I knew I should do what an author(作家) had done-care children and make them excellent.

36．The writer found that there was something wrong with Ronny’s           .

A．eyes         B．talent           C．pronunciation    D．fingers

In the eyes of many foreigners , Chinese are the best hosts（主人）and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests.

In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But, don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.

Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.

In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

36. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ______ in the world.

A．best    .                            B．worst

C．most natural                         D．most difficult

37. When a western guest visits a Chinese family , he often ______ .

A．buys some fruit                          B．feels like a god

C．wants some gifts                     D．takes a cup of tea

38. If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house , what will he probably say?

A．It’s OK if you smoke here.             B．Let’s smoke together.

C．Sorry , you can’t smoke here.               D．Smoking is a bad habit.

39. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “ adapt to ” in the passage?

A．Think back to.                       B．Get used to.

C．Look forward to.                     D．Keep close to.

40. What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Foreigners should learn from Chinese.                B．Hosts must do things in the guests’ way.

C．Western hosts are always nice to guests.             D．People should understand cultural differences.
