24、Life is full of beautiful moments. All you have to do is to open your eyes and your heart to see them.

The other day, a local primary school was just over, and I found myself behind a school bus as I was driving home. The bus stopped by a house sitting on top of a hill. A little girl, no more than 7 years old, got off the bus and started running quickly toward the house. The smile on her face was quite sweet. I looked up the hill to see where she was going. Her dad was waiting for her. As she got closer, her dad smiled and greeted her with a hug.

My eyes watered a bit as I watched this scene. I remembered all the times when my own children ran into my arms with smiling faces. Every single hug from them was a treasure of joy.

Suddenly, my memory was interrupted when I heard the car’s horn (喇叭) behind me. I saw the school bus quickly pulling away, and started to follow it again. However, this time I did so with a fuller heart than ever before. I took that beautiful moment and stored it safely in my mind, where I knew it would remain forever.

One day, we all will leave this school of learning and love, and finally get to go home again. So enjoy your days here at school. Love and learn. But know that one day you will be going home where the hugs are eternal(永久的) and the love never ends.

26、   When we want to find out what the weather will be like tomorrow, we usually turn on the radio or TV. But in the time before radio and TV, people needed to forecast (预测) the weather. How did they do it? Let’s learn about two weather rhymes (押韵的诗) together.

Red sky at night, Sailor’s delight!

Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning!

This weather rhyme was written a long time ago, but it still works today. As the sun is setting, a red sky at night usually means there are no clouds coming in from the west, a sign of good weather for tomorrow. But a red sky in the morning always means drier air is moving away to the east and moister air is moving in from the west. The moist air could bring clouds, rain and stormy weather.

When leaves show their undersides (底部), Be very certain, rain betides.

The rhyme shows us how trees forecast the weather. Tree leaves turn upside down just before it rains. In the period before a storm, strong winds can lift the leaves and show their undersides.

Animals, insects and plants are natural forecasters. When a summer storm is coming, you may notice that dogs, cows, horses, and geese grow restless (不安的) and frogs come out of their hiding places. These animals don’t have some sixth sense. Scientists think the animals can hear the low frequency (频率) sound waves made by thunderstorms many miles away.

Get outside and observe nature carefully, and soon you’ll be your own weather forecaster.

【1】The underlined word “moist” can be replaced by the word “________”.

A.wet B.Cold C.warm D.clean

【2】What is helpful for some animals to forecast the stormy weather?

A.Their sense of sight. B.Their sense of hearing.

C.Their sense of smell. D.Their sense of touching.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The two rhymes are both about winter weather.

B.When leaves show their undersides, it will be fine.

C.If you see a red sky in the morning, you can travel outside.

D.If you see a frog come out of its hiding place, you’d better stay at home.

【4】What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To introduce two famous weather rhymes to us.

B.To tell us we should read as many rhymes as possible.

C.To show us the way to observe different animals.

D.To encourage us to get close to nature and observe the weather on our own.

27、Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a farmer at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.

The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re on an empty stomach.

Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.

When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that it identifies the value of foods – how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.

【1】 From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____.

A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is important

B. it’s easy to lose weight without breakfast

C. there’s no need to have good food for supper

D. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter

【2】 Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?

A. It is part of our brain.

B. It tells people to eat breakfast.

C. It decides which food we like.

D. It is active toward high-calorie food.

【3】 Which is the correct order for the experiment on the first day?

① The volunteers skipped breakfast.

② The volunteers had lunch.

③ The volunteers had a brain scan.

A.①②③   B.③②① C.①③②   D.③①②

【4】In the experiment, the volunteers without breakfast ate about 20% _____ at lunch.

A. of the usual breakfast

B. more than the usual breakfast

C. of the usual lunch

D. more than the usual lunch

【5】Which of the following can be the title for this passage?

A. Breakfast still most important

B. Three meals a day

C. Experiments on breakfast

D. Experiments on lunch

28、   Dick was a smart young man whose parents were not rich. He had to work in his s【1】 time. He managed to go to university, but it was so expensive to study there 【2】 he found it necessary to get 【3】 (至少) two part-time jobs at the same time so as to 【4】 (确保) that he could get enough money for his studies.
