26、What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you ignore it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever considered what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts(本能) or if you had paid more attention to it?
Imagine a scene, where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light bulb is turned on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought catches your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to abandon it, but wait a minute!
That thought could be the potential beginning of the success you have so much wished for. As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has long escaped you.
It is almost as if a wise man has whispered the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the last piece of jigsaw puzzle(拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that little but powerful thought.
Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become conscious of the great possibilities that can arise if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put down any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review.
Seemingly meaningless little thoughts or ideas when acted upon have a potential to explode into great projects.
Many successful projects have been born from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as tickets to great things.
You may have heard people say many times that it just came to me in a flash moment, a small idea or seemingly meaningless thought may cross your mind about something you have been planning to accomplish.
Don’t waste an opportunity to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought. That little thought or idea is the beginning of great things if you decide to follow it through.

A. You experience a power cut
B. Your mind turns into total darkness
C. You imagine a light being turned off
D. An inspiration comes up in your mind
【2】Once you are aware of the great potential of the little idea, you are supposed to .
A. write down ideas that follow up B. wait for approval from your peers
C. consider its practicality D. share it with a major peer
【3】What is the general tone of the passage?
A. Doubtful B. Persuasive
C. Humorous D. Indifferent

27、A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk, That’s all-- milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same store and also buys milk. Besides, she buys chicken to make dinner that night. Then she gets coffee for breakfast and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called multi-tasking a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has proved what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Last year, some scientists studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old They found that male brains have more connections only on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right one is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma, a professor in the brain study, says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.
As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. In fact, there is a strong connection between the “understandings and the “action” parts of men’s brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (敏感性) when solving a problem. They take a less direct path to find a solution.

【2】What’s the finding of the study?
A. Women can find a solution to a problem directly.

28、 Modern science proves that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live. Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet. Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely. Over intake(摄入量) of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat. Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat. We only need a few grams of protein to keep our body in order.
Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with good friends. Just keep happy.
Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don't have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, it's work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.
Proper exercise. Do exercise to keep away from fatness. Because of the quick pace of the modem life, you don't have time to do exercise every day, but at least three times a week and 45 minutes each time.
【1】What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To tell the readers how to take proper exercise every day.
B．To make some surveys among those who have health problems.

A．135 minutes.
B．115 minutes.
C．90minutes.
D．45 minutes.
29、 Precision（精确）agriculture is a method of growing crops. Farmers use technology to collect very precise or exact measurements about their land. It tells farmers how they planted seeds, used fertilizers and chemical pesticides, and so on. Farm equipment can plant different amounts of seeds and leave different amounts of fertilizer in different parts of a field. Water measuring equipment can tell farmers how much water their plants are getting.
But some of this technology is too costly for small farmers, especially in developing countries.Ranveer Chandra, the Microsoft researcher from India, is working to develop low-cost, high-tech tools for farmers.He developed a system that connects soil sensors to other sensing equipment through unused television (TV) channels.These unused TV signals, known as "white space" frequencies(频率), can provide Internet connection over long distances.Some hospitals and schools in rural areas are already online with white-space connections, Chandra noted.
Each soil sensor provides information about conditions on the farm.To connect all the areas into a big picture, a drone aircraft takes photographs from high in the air.Artificial intelligence (AI) compares these photos to the sensor data.AI then can create maps of where the soil is too acidic or needs more water.Similar technology can also help farmers watch their animals.Video cameras connected to computers and linked to the Internet can help farmers recognize sick cattle, for example.
However, the level and speed at which new farming skills and technologies will spread remains unclear. Bruce Erickson is a precision farming expert at Purdue University in Indiana.He told the CSA the one problem faced by any new farming technology is getting people to use it with their existing methods.Different countries have different farming methods and different ways of doing business.“It takes people to carry out new farming practices,” Erickson said.
【1】How is paragraph1 mainly developed?
A．By following the order of space.
B．By giving specific examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By analyzing causes.
【2】What did Ranveer Chandra research?
A．How to design Al for making maps.
B．How to profit from the unused TV signals.
C．How to develop a drone aircraft for farming.
D．How to lower the cost of farming technology.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The future of artificial intelligence.
B．The process of using white-space connections.
C．The practical application in precision agriculture.
D．The achievement in designing high-tech farming tools.
【4】What can we infer about the future of precision agriculture from the last paragraph?
A．It needs time to be readily accepted by modern farmers.
B．It depends on the development of new farming technology.
C．It will revolutionize the traditional farming.
D．It has to gain support from agricultural experts.
