A Day As a Tourist Guide

　　My name is Jenny. Last week I became a tourist (游客) guide for a day. Two friends, Mr. and Mrs. Moore arrived for a short holiday from Australia. It was their first visit to this part of the world. As my parents had to attend a cousin's wedding (堂兄的婚礼) , they asked me to take our two visitors around Singapore.

　　Early in the morning I took them round the island in a taxi. They enjoyed the trip down Nicoll Drive to Changi Beach. Later in the morning was stopped at the Tiger Balm Gardens, or Haw Par Villa as it is commonly called. They found the Gardens very interesting. I told them the history of the place and the Chinese legends (传奇) behind the figures of stone. The sun was hot and we soon became very thirsty. I introduced our Australian friends to fresh coconut (新鲜椰子) water. They were delighted (高兴) .

　　For lunch we went back to the city. We had “tim-sum” at the Neptune Theatre Restaurant. They liked the food and said that it was the biggest restaurant they had seen.

They bought some books on Singapore to bring back with them. From the museum I took them to the Van Kleef Aquarium. Some of the sea creatures(生物) frightened Mrs. Moore a little although they were safely contained in tanks (桶) . After that our two visitors went back to their hotel to rest.

Reading Comprehension

　　People are wiser and can do more things than other animals because of their wonderful brains. We can talk, read, write, build houses, and invent things. Your brain has three main parts：the front brain, the hind brain, and the middle brain.

　　The front brain is the largest. It is gray outside and white inside. This is the part of the brain where you remember, think, and plan. With this part of your brain you make your arms and legs do what you want them to do. Here is where the messages from the eyes, ears, and nose let you see, hear, and smell. The hind brain is smaller than the front brain and is more like that of other animals. This part of the brain gives you balance and control of your muscles. You walk without tripping and skip without falling because the hind brain is doing its job. If it were not, you would lose your balance and fall over.

　　The middle brain is the smallest of all, but very important. It controls the beating of your heart, swallowing food, breathing, and other things you do without thinking. The middle brain is a small swelling where the brain joins the spinal cord－a large bundle of nerves in your backbone. The spinal cord is the main road to and from the brain. It comes into the middle brain bringing messages from all parts of your body. It also takes charge when some part of your body is in danger. If you touch a hot iron, the message to the spinal cord makes you pull your finger away even before you feel the pain of the burn. This is called a reflex. Nerves conned most parts of your body to the spinal cord.

1．What is the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．How brains make people intelligent.

B．How your brain is connected with most parts of your body.

C．How the spinal cord in your body works.

D．How each part of your brain functions.

2．Which part takes charge when one is designing his research project?

[　　]

3．The spinal card leads to your

[　　]

4．What does the underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refer to?

[　　]

A．The front brain.

B．The hind brain.

C．The smaller brain.

D．Other animals' brains.

5．If you cut your finger, how can your brain know it?

[　　]

A．Your heart feels it and lets your brain know.

B．When you see the blood, your eyes will send the message to your brain.

C．Your backbone collects the message and sends it to the brain.

D．Your spinal cord collects the massage and sends it to the brain.

Read “The Curious Kiwi” and answer questions 1 to 6.

The Curious Kiwi

　　INTRODUCTION

　　The Kiwi lives only in New Zealand. It looks a bit like a long-beaked chicken, but it has no tail and it cannot fly.

　　Its tiny wings are completely hidden among the hair-like feathers. Kiwis are shy birds that live mainly in fern-filled forests. They sleep in burrows by day and come out to feed at night. They eat worms and insects that live in the soil or among dead leaves. They also enjoy fallen fruit.

　　Survival Watch

　　Kiwis are becoming rare, largely because so many have been killed by the cats, dogs and other animals that people have taken to New Zealand.

　　Kiwi Facts

　　The kiwi is up to 45 cm long, including its beak. It gets its name from its call of ki-wee.

　　The female weighs only 4 kg, but she can lay two eggs weighing about 500 grams each.

　　That's nearly ten times as heavy as a chicken's egg.

　　The kiwi is a very strange-looking bird. Its dark coat looks more like shaggy hair than feathers.

　　The nostrils at the tip of the beak can smell worms and other food several centimetres below the ground.

I have to See Another Doctor

　　Mr. Clarke lives at the foot of the mountain. He keeps the forest for a rich farmer there. The only road to the forest is just in front of his house. He can easily see the people who want to enter the forest. Sometimes he has to be on duty at night. When he hears some sound, he has to get up to see if someone cuts the trees.

　　One day he bought something in the town. He found a strong dog and bought it. He loves it very much and often gives some meat or bread to it. And when a strange man walks close to his house, it barks (吠) loudly. So he can soon know about it and goes out to find out who it is. But last week something was wrong with Mr. Clarke. He didn't feel well and couldn't fall asleep in the evening. He had to go to a hospital in the town. The doctor looked him over and then asked, “Have you got a dog, sir?”
