21、I have a sister and her name is Shirley. When we were in primary school, Shirley thought doing housework was quite boring. So she didn’t want to do it at all. Every time Mom asked her to do the dishes or wash her clothes, she suddenly had lots of homework to do. Shirley was sure that Mom wouldn’t tell her not to do homework. And she was right! How clever she was!
I was not so clever as my sister. When I was in primary school, I never knew how to say no. So, I always ended up (最终) doing housework while my sister was doing homework. And when I finished doing the housework, her homework was done, too. Then, she would make a funny face to me. Slowly my mother got into a habit of asking me to help her with housework. Although I was not happy about this, I never said “NO” to my mother.
Now, both my sister and I are mothers of two children. However, we are quite different. I can take care of myself very well. When I meet problems, I try to deal with them on my own. But my sister is quite different. Every time she gets into trouble, she gets nervous and doesn’t know what to do. Sometimes she even needs our mom’s help to tidy up her house.
As you can see, doing housework can help one learn to be independent. And asking children to do housework will pay off in the future.
【1】What’s the relationship between the writer and Shirley?
A.Sisters.
B.Cousins.
C.Mother and daughter.
【2】What would Shirley probably say when her mom asked her to do the dishes?
A.Mom, can I wash my clothes?
B.Mom, doing housework is too boring.
C.Mom, I must do my homework now.
【3】The writer thought it was ________ that her mom always asked her to do housework.
A.right
B.unfair
C.normal
【4】The underlined phrase “deal with” means ________.
A.带来
B.选择
C.处理
【5】From the reading, we can know that ________.
A.Shirley isn’t so independent as the writer
B.the writer still depends on her mother
C.Shirley often helped the writer with housework
22、
“What’s the name of the man living next door? I can’t remember it right now.” Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this? Usually, we think old people’s memories (记忆力) become bad because their brains (大脑) can’t work quickly. But a team of German scientists has a different idea.
“The human brain works slower in old age,” said scientist Michael Ramscar, “but only because they have kept much more information over time.”
The findings are a result (结果) of many computer simulations (模拟) of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read words and learn new things each day. When the computer “reads” only so much, its result in memory tests is the same as that of a young man. But if the computer learns much more than that, its result is the same as that of an older man. It is slower because more information makes the computer’s database (数据库) grow and the computer has more data to work with —it takes time. This is the same as old people.
Think about this. A man knows two persons’ birthdays. Another man knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right man to the right birthday nine times out of ten. Can you say that the first man has a better memory than the second one? The fact is that “The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for the New York Times, wrote in a report about the study.
【1】The writer uses the question at the beginning to _________.
A.make readers think of their friends
B.say that many people have bad memories
C.make readers interested in the passage
D.show why older people like asking questions
【2】The scientists did the study by _________.
A.asking old people questions
B.reading books and some useful reports
C.following the lives of a group of old people
D.using computers to simulate man’s learning and memory
【3】Why do old people forget other people’s names easily?
A.Because they have a very poor memory.
B.Because they are too old to remember things.
C.Because there is something wrong with their brains.
D.Because there is too much information in their brains.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is it better to be old or young?
B.How can man use their brains?
C.Do old people have poor memories?
D.What are scientists’ new findings on brains?
23、When I was in primary school, my English teacher Miss Green told us that there is always a solution to every problem.
One day, when I returned home, I found that my father was unhappy. When I asked him why, he told me that he lost his watch when he was working in the garden. He with my two elder brothers had looked for it everywhere but they couldn’t find it.
That watch was very important to my father because it was a gift from my late grandfather. So I wanted to help my father find it. I thought of the words that Miss Green had told us. But how could I find the watch? I started thinking and thinking. Then I remembered that watch ticked. But the ticking was hard to hear. I decided not to look for it here and there as they did. Instead, I put my ear on the ground. And ten minutes later, I found the watch.
My father and brothers couldn’t believe their ears. They thought I was really lucky. But I shook my head, saying, “No, It wasn’t good luck. I just thought before I took action.”
