When Helen left home to do some shopping, her elder daughter, 12-year old Vanessa was watching a movie and her little daughter, 10 -month-old Alice, was asleep in the room. Helen told Vanessa to look after Alice and to watch the cake in the oven (烤箱).

Just after Helen left, Alice woke up and got out of her bed. Vanessa didn't hear her sister because the film was making a noise. She also forgot the cake. But she heard the ice-cream man. She ran out o the house without taking her key and locked herself out.

Through the window, she saw Alice in the room. At once, she remembered the cake and knew Alice was in danger. She ran to the nearest telephone box and called 999.

When the firemen arrived, they found Vanessa crying outside and heard Alice laughing inside. They went in and found the dog, Nap, playing with Alice. He was jumping around her and the oven.

When Nap saw the firemen, he stopped at once as if to say, "Now it's your turn. She is safe." The house was full of smoke then, and they believed that Nap was playing with Alice to keep her away from the oven.

I’m the engine that keeps you working, and I’m here to share some of my secrets. I have 100 billion nerve cells(神经细胞), so you need to consider before you blame(责怪) me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast and sometimes I can’t keep all of it.

The Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have been worried that our ability to think is being lost.

In general, I’m about ten percent larger in men than women. It doesn’t make men smarter. It just lets me control their different bodies. Actually, it’s more common for women to get angry, but men can’t focus on a thing well. They usually have language difficulties.

Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation(辐射) might cause me to be in a worse situation.

Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories. In fact, when you are asleep, some parts of me are still working hard on my duty. Besides, laughter is really the best medicine for me. So remember to laugh more for my better situation.

A.It will make people remember things for a long time.

B.It helps people to remember things more easily.

C.It may influence one’s way of thinking.

2.Why can’t I keep all the information?

A.Because there is too much information.

B.Because information travels too fast.

C.Because I can hardly work.

D.Because I am lazy.

3.What can you do to make “me” work better?

A.Get a shorter sleep every night.

B.Blame “me” for not being fast enough.

C.Use “me” more instead of the Internet.

D.Use a mobile phone for one hour each day.

4.What can we know from the passage?
