Cecilia had a great job, a nice house and everything she . She was, , not a kind person for several reasons that became once you got to know her. The first thing was her lack of sympathy for others not as as her. She would not express any sympathy for anyone in trouble. Her was that they were just too lazy. But, then came the fateful day. Her husband got into difficulty, to the point where he was to declare bankruptcy. Then she found she was the one who nothing.

The tables were completely , and she was desperate for help. She also found her parents were unwilling to help her, but for her, his family were willing and able to help them through those difficult times despite the that she had excluded (排斥) them from her life.

Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used in lessons，research suggests．They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts，and display higher levels of concentration．

Professor Anne Bamford，of the University of the Arts，London， studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries，including the UK．Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks，improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons．They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully．

The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding，increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons．

Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film．Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影仪)，laptops with good picture capabilities，3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classrooms．

But Danny Nicholson，an educationist，said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly．He said，“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting， I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意儿)．There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help，but most of the time，good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective．”

In the US，one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1．000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms．And the University of Caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils．Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version．

1.What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?

A．There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images．

B．Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes．

C．Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology．

D．3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology．

2.Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D_____.

A．is of no help in classes

B．has a bright future in classes

C．is more practical than 2D models

D．may not be affordable for schools

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．3D technology will replace 2D models in the future．

B．Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before．

C．Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training．

D．3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado．

4.The underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means_____.

A．absorbed B．annoyed C．relaxed D． Confused

People with many different relationships use small talk. The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. It is also common for people who are only acquaintances (熟人), often called a “friend of a friend”, to use small talk.

There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation. Another topic that is generally “safe” is current events, such as sports news and entertainment news. If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well.

People make small talk just about anywhere. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.

The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone. However, the next time you see each other, you might just smile and say nothing. Do not interrupt two people in order to discuss something unimportant, such as the weather. If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room, it is not proper to initiate a conversation either.

1. The third paragraph mainly tells us .

A. how people make small talk

B. people like making small talk

C. why people make small talk

D. where people make small talk

2.What can we learn about small talk according to the text?

A. Small talk only happens between strangers.

B. When people feel lonely, they will start small talk.

C. Unpleasant comments about another person aren’t a “safe” topic.

D. Small talk only happens when people want to make friends.

3.The underlined word “initiate” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.

A. end B. start C. control D. Avoid

The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know，we're while we're eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.

New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Smith, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.

However, Mr. Smith says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can't throw away physical activity. It's extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”

Mr. Smith and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率)or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There's only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one－point four years to life.

Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U．S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That's one of the strategies that many companies are using now.

Mr. Smith also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.

1.The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to________．

A．dangerous B. awkward

C．comfortable D. common

2.Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Smith?

A. Sitting too long may help increase one's life.

B．Exercise is important and don't sit too long.

C．Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one's horizons.

D．Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

3.What does Mr. Smith think of his study in Paragraph 4?

A．It's a relatively new area of study.

B．It's a hot subject studied by experts.

C．It's a study that begins too late.

D．It's not ignored by many experts.

4.Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?

A．To give them more comfort.

B．To improve their work efficiency.

C．To offer them the chance to exercise.

D．To seek pleasure while working.

For many men, the idea that they have a better sense of direction than women has been improved by a scientific study.

Researchers from Norway scanned on the brains of volunteers as they completed navigation (导航) tasks to discover men are more skillful at finding their way because they use a separate part of their brain. According to lead researcher Dr. Cal Pintzka from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), men and women have different navigational strategies.

Med use basic directions—the use of north, south, east and west—during navigation to a greater degree. Men’s sense of direction was more effective. They quite simply got to their destination faster. “If they’re going to the Students Society building in Trodheim, for example, men usually go into the general direction where it is located.” Dr. Pintzka explained.

Women usually orient (标定方向) themselves along a route to get there, for example, go past the hairdresser and then up the street and turn right after the shore.

The study shows that using the basic directions is more efficient because it is a more flexible strategy. The destination can be reached faster because the strategy depends less on where you start.

Meanwhile, the study also shows both men and women use large areas of the brain when they navigate, but some areas were different. The man used the hippocampus (海马体) more, whereas women use their frontal areas to a greater extent. That degrees with the fact that the hippocampus is necessary to make use of basic directions. Losing one’s sense of direction is one of the first symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease.

Understanding how men and women use different brain areas and strategies to navigate, researchers will be able to enhance the understand of the disease’s development, and develop coping strategies for those already affected.

1. How are men different from women in navigation?

A. They use a separate part of their brain.

B. They deal with navigation in complex ways.

C. They make different actions to the road signs.

D. They form different images of road conditions.

2. What strategy do men usually take to find a place?

A. Finding out all possible routes.

B. Remembering all the landmarks.

C. Making out the general direction.

D. Drawing a general map of the place.

3.Why is men’s strategy more efficient?

A. Because it is much easier to be carried out.

B. Because it is more helpful to identify roads.

C. Because it is simpler for telling directions.

D. Because it is less limited by the starting place.

4.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Getting to the destination is no more a difficult thing.

B. Men have a better sense of direction than women.

C. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented effectively.

D. Hippocampus is playing a key role in navigation.
