Picture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Should you eat it It seems that you shouldn’t for many reasons, including its influence on your brains.
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us put on weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains — it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.
“We believe that late-night eating may affect(影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh. PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged memory.”
For the study, the researchers did an experiment on mice. The mice were either allowed to eat during the daytime or during the night. They received the same amount of sleep and calories. Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice and noticed that the mice eating during the night were less able to remember things well.
So think twice before the midnight snack — it might be bad for more than your weight.
7．The writer asks readers to picture the scene in the first paragraph to __________.
A．interest them and lead into the topic
B．tell them a story about late-night eating
C．give them some information about the scientist
D．ask them to have a discussion and give opinions

A．studying for long B．a nice pie in the fridge
C．a new study on eating D．late-night eating
9．The purpose of the experiment on mice is _________.
A．to test whether eating late can affect memory
B．to check the brains of different mice
C．to find out how many calories mice need daily
D．to prove mice are not good at remembering things
10．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage
A．Eating snacks affects memory B．Late-night eating hurts brains
C．Staying up late is bad D．Keep away from snacks

①We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared to other people’s voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.
②Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned (扫描) children’s brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize(识别) their mothers’ voices at once.
③Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of(负责) reward (奖赏) and emotion, start to work as well.

Feeling sweaty from a summer heat wave Don’t worry—not all your sweat* has to go to waste. Researchers from University of California, San Diego have developed a new device* that produces energy from the sweat on your fingertips.
The device is called a biofuel cell (BFC). From the outside, it looks like a simple piece of film connected to electrodes. So how does the device work When you stick the biofuel cell to your finger, it takes in sweat. The enzymes* on the electrodes then help to produce electricity. Besides using the sweat, the device also produces small amounts of energy when it is pressed, so daily activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano are all good ways to generate electricity.
Some people may think it queer to choose fingertips as the source of sweat, but in fact, they are the sweatiest part of the body. Each finger produces between 100 and 1,000 times more sweat than most other areas.
To date, the device is the most effective on—body energy producer. Before it is invented, most power producing wearable devices require wearers to perform exercise or depend on other sources, such as sunlight or large changes in temperature. But the new device uses a passive system to produce electricity from sweat in your fingertips.even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. One of the researchers Lu Yin said, “Uniike other sweat—powered wearables this one requires no exercise, no physical input from the wearer in order to be useful. This work is a step forward to making wearables more practical, convenient and accessible.”
It’s also quite comfortable to wear the device. The size of the device is about 1cm . Its material is flexible as well. “So you don’t need to worry about it being too rigid or feeling strange. You can comfortably wear it for a long period of time,” said Yin.
However, at the moment, the device can only store up a little bit power, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smartphone, but the researchers hope to increase its power in the future.
18．A biofuel cell can ________.
A．protect fingertips B．cause a heat wave
C．make use of sweat D．develop new devices
19．The underlined word “queer” probably means ________.
A．strange B．unsafe C．dirty D．traditional

A．②③④ B．①③④ C．①②④ D．①②③
21．What is the advantage of the biofuel cell
A．It can influence the temperature greatly.
B．It can power a smartphone in a day.
C．It makes you comfortable when you’re in pain.
D．It works for nearly 24 hours a day when you wear it.
A special kitchen is in a path, next to Jiangxi Cancer (癌) Hospital, in Nanchang. Around meal time, three times every day, relatives of the hospital’s patients use the kitchen to cook food for their loved ones.
The kitchen was at first a breakfast stall (摊) run by a husband and wife, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong Gengxiang.

For people from poor families, the couple refuses to charge the fees.
________ They get up at 4 a.m. every day to prepare. They boil water and cook rice at first. To make it easier for others to use the kitchen, Wan and Xiong would like to clean the kitchen, like sweeping the ground and washing the pans and pots.

“We were just kind of in the right place at the right time. And that’s what we did in our small way of table. tennis,” said Judy Hoarfrost, who played a role in the birth of ping-pong diplomacy(外交) when she was just 15 years old.

When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him do lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish, doing some cooking and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was richer than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home or community got abilities and came to feel they were important members of society, ” said Daniel Brown, the expert who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”
Brown’s study followed these children in great detail（详情）. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Brown’s research group compared the children’s mental-health（心理健康）scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were given for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility（责任）, independence, confidence and competence—the basics of emotional（情绪的）health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most competent（有能力的）adults are those who know how to do this.
Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live wonderfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
38．What do we know about Justin Tong’s childhood
A．He came from a rich family. B．He felt sorry for the other kids.
C．He often cooked for his family. D．He sent his articles to newspapers.
39．Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2
A．Children who work hard in their daily life.
B．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives.
C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study.
D．Children who feel good about people around them.
40．How did Brown follow the children in his study
A．By giving housework and praise. B．By interviewing and giving scores.
C．By setting goals and showing love. D．By solving problems and testing them.
41．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To explain an interesting study. B．To introduce Justin Tong’s success.
C．To tell us about childhood activities. D．To encourage children to work hard.
