Sheila bought a new lunch bag for school.

On the way to school, she looked inside. She hoped that a new lunch bag meant something new for lunch,   16   she found the same lunch as always---a sandwich.

When the lunch bell rang. Sheila found her bag and carried it to the dining hall. She opened it and   17   two pieces of fried chicken, several strawberries, and an egg.

“Wow!” Sheila said, “That’s what I call   18   !”

The next morning, Sheila opened her lunch bag and looked inside. Sure enough, she found another   19   . But when she opened the bag at lunchtime in the dining hall, she discovered a piece of pizza, an orange, and a cake.

“My lunch bag  20   be magic,” Sheila said.

“There’s no such thing as magic,” her friend Douglas  21   .

“There is,” Sheila said. “My mother   22   packs me a sandwich. But ever since I got this new lunch bag, the sandwich has changed into something I like.”

“Maybe your mother’s packing   23   things for a change.”

“No,” Sheila said. “I checked in the morning. The sandwich changes   24   .”

“You are not the   25   one with a magic lunch bag,” Beatrice said, turning around from the table behind her. “I have one, too. See? This is my magic bag.”

“Hey,” Sheila said. “My lunch bag really looks like yours.”

“Mine is magic,” said Beatrice. “Every day my dad  26   leftovers(剩饭), but at lunchtime I find a sandwich---my favorite!”

Sheila started   27   .

“What’s so funny?” Beatrice asked.

“That’s the sandwich my mother packs,” Sheila said. “We’ve been getting our lunch bags   28   up.”

Sheila and  29   shared their lunches every day after that. Sheila loved making new discoveries each time she opened her lunch bag. But her best discovery was magically finding a new   30   .

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun．Seven other planets also go around the Sun．None of them has an environment with air，so people and things cannot grow．The Sun and its planets are called the solar system．The solar system is a small part of our galaxy．
The stars we see at night are the suns in other solar systems．There are more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy，called the Milky Way，and our Sun is only one of them．
But scientists have discovered many other galaxies in the universe．They are a long way away and their light has travelled for many years to reach us．It is hard to understand how large the universe is．
Scientists have sent lots of spacecraft to look at other planets in our solar system，and some spacecraft have gong beyond the solar system．However，no one has discovered any life in space yet．
But why has no one from other planets sent us a message？Have they tried to send information to us？With so many stars in the universe，are we alone，or is there life out there in space？We don’t know．．．yet．
【小题1】The Sun is one of the Earth planets．
【小题2】There is more than one galaxy in our solar system．
【小题3】．There are more than 200 billion stars in the Milky Way．
【小题4】．Scientists have found life on other planets．
【小题5】They’ve received no messages from space．

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi! I'm Carlos,” don't just say “Hello.” Repeat the person's name. Say“__________”.
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.
【小题1】Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2？

In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.
Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
