24、I came out of my room this morning and found Mom and Dad standing in front of the TV. On the screen, Tony Verrazo, the weatherman said, “Calvin has turned west and is headed for land.”
I didn’t understand what was happening, but suddenly Mom and Dad started rushing around.
“You pick up coconuts, Jason.” Dad said.
“Coconuts?” I was confused. We had coconut trees in the yard, but why pick up coconuts now?
I wanted to ask, but Dad had no time for me.
I had no idea what was going on but I wanted to see Calvin, and I went to the beach. It was empty except for two men. One had a camera and the other was talking into a microphone. I recognized him—Tony Verrazo!
“Hi, kid. What’s up?” said Tony, smiling
“Oh, I’m taking a break from picking up coconuts,” I lied.
“Coconuts,” he said thoughtfully. “I forgot all about them. Stand over here and tell the camera who you are and what you’re doing.”
“Hi,” I took the microphone. “I’m Jason and I’m picking up coconuts because Calvin is coming.”
“Thanks, kid.” Tony said, “You’d better head home and finish your job!”
I had to do the silly job because Tony made me tell everyone what I was doing.
After hours of working in the yard, I filled up all the bags I could find. When I got inside, history was repeating itself. Mom and Dad were standing in front of the TV, and Tony was talking.
“Hurricane-force (飓风级的) winds can make flying coconuts really dangerous! Don’t forget to pick them up! And we want to give credit to (表扬) the person who came up with the idea,” he said.
There on TV, I was holding the microphone, saying, “Hi, I’m Jason, and I’m picking up coconuts.”
All day, I thought I had to pick up coconuts just because I was little and had to stay out of everybody’s way. Now I realized what Calvin really was and that what I had done actually mattered.

26、
You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react (反应), and then your muscles (肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!
The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!
Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment (建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives.
So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.
【1】In Paragraph 1,the writer wants to tell us .
A.eyes and muscles react quickly B.the brain controls everything in your body
C.the computer is the best thing in the world D.the brain is more powerful than any computer
【2】What can we know from the passage?
A.The brain doesn’t work during sleeping. B.The brain is the only organ that never stops.
C.The brain keeps growing during human lives. D.The brain keeps on developing during human lives.
【3】Which word can best describe the brain according to the passage?
A.Magic. B.Quick. C.Light. D.Developing.
【4】In which magazine can the passage be found most probably?
A.Business Weekly. B.Medicine. C.Science. D.Sports.
27、Our eyes can deal with 36, 000 bits of information every hour, many messages for our brain to connect with the world around us. We often say that we eat with our five senses. So what happens if we eat with our eyes closed? Would we enjoy food in the same way?
Eating with eyes closed
Since years ago, some restaurants offer to eat meals with eyes closed, a special experience to “reconnect with food” in a different way. The lack of senses like eye-sight helps us pay more attention to what we are eating. Those who take the challenge say the taste of many meals becomes stronger.
Playing with these feelings is possible from our home or even right now. If we think about a lemon, our brain sends orders to make our mouths water, as a natural reaction of our bodies to the acid flavor(酸味). It also happens if we smell a BBQ in the garden of a neighbor. We probably wish a burger badly when we smell it .
Thinking about eating less? This may help. Eating with our eyes closed can make us think we are eating more than we actually are. A German study gave ice-creams to several students. Part of them with their eyes closed ate fewer before they were full than the students who could see. Even though this cannot be a definite way to weight loss, meals can be funnier for sure.
Enjoy with our five senses
Sight may be an influence when we have to choose what to eat or even how much. We will probably eat more in a comfortable restaurant than in front of our computer at work. Color and presentation of the food matters too. Supermarkets usually put products with lively colors at eyelevel. In many cases, stores add extra colors to food to make it look better. But that does not mean they are healthier at all.
Are any other senses involved when we eat? Yes! If we listen to a cook telling us how wonderful the recipe of those fish and chips is, we will probably think it’s the best fast food we have had so far. In the end, everything is important for the complete enjoyment of a meal.
【1】What does the underlined “it” refer to in paragraph 3?
A.The BBQ.
B.The lemon.
C.The garden.
D.The acid flavor.
【2】Eating with eyes closed will probably make ________.
A.people funnier
B.ice-cream taste better
C.people healthier
D.the taste of food stronger
【3】What does the underlined word “involved” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Learning to eat.
B.Learning to cook.
C.Taking part in eating.
D.Taking part in cooking.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.We are what we eat.
B.We eat with our five senses.
C.Our health depends on what we eat.
D.Eating with eyes closed becomes popular.
