19.(6分)Everyone may be born with compassion (同情心),but actually being good at caring for others needs experience and skills.An early chance to develop these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade.Although it to great patience to deal with a small child,I really found myself joyful in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.
Not only did l enjoy taking care of my little brother,but I volunteered at the Organization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so that I could further develop my childcare skills.I was partnered with Matthew,especially anger.His biggest problem was that he couldn't go to the toilet himself.Every day l had to clean up his mess,and it was just like the "good old days" with my little brother.
Later I found that I was able to change his life in another way.We had swimming three times a week,but Matthew was afraid of the water.At first,Mathew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing so I pushed him slowly down the first.The next day,I pushed him a little further into the water.By the third day,he completely trusted me to take him into the pool.Maybe my large size also helped to give him a sense of security (安全感).He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight.I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool,happily playing with other kids in the water.The OSNF leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew,like bow I had always believed in my little brother.
Helping Mathew "grow" to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight.Real magic is a result of patience,and miracles (奇迹) happen when one believes in them.

20.(6分)Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different.So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank.You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye﹣recognition (眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA,Britain,Italy and Turkey.Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
Eye﹣recognition is a process of recognizing iris (虹膜),which includes the following steps.First,a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them.Second,this machine will have iris feature extraction (特征采集).Then,this person will be identified (识别),and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.
Scientists are also working on other systems.Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face,the mark of your finger or even your smell!However,eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change much as you get older,and even twins have different eyes.So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct,depending on how good the technology is while some other programs may only be 51% correct now.In Britain,it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye.So smile!
(1)How does the eye﹣recognition program work?
A.You look at the machine.
B.You say your name.
C.You type in your number.
D.You show your ID card.
(2)What can you learn from the passage?

B.91% of British people liked eye﹣recognition best of all.

D.The eye﹣recognition program is widely used now.
(3)What's the main purpose of Paragraph 4?
A.To tell us about different recognition systems.
B.To show the advantages of the eye﹣recognition program.
C.To introduce us to the use of the eye﹣recognition system.
D.To compare the recognition rate of different systems.
21.(8分)Personality types (性格类型) have something to do with the differences in the brain areas,which could explain why one child grows up to be impulsive (冲动的)and outgoing while another becomes hardworking and quiet.
The differences between the brains of 85 people have been measured and linked with the four main personality types,which were grouped as "novelty seeking", "harm avoidance", "reward dependence" and "persistence". "Novelty seeking" is marked by impulsive actions and "harm avoidance" is typical of shy people.People with "reward dependence" can have an addictive (上瘾的) personality and people with "persistence" (坚持) are likely to be hard-working and perfectionists.
The researchers said the brain differences can be measured in the size of areas of the brain that appear to be linked with each of the four personality types.For instance,people with novelty-seeking personalities had a bigger area of the brain above the eye sockets (眼窝) while people with harm-avoidance personalities,who tend to be very shy,had structurally smaller brain areas called the orbital-frontal areas (眶额区).It's important to know about these differences,for instance,when it comes to understanding a child's behavior and choosing the right way to help him through education and development.
So there is no point shouting at a child who is very shy,because it does not come naturally to them to put themselves forward.But actually knowing there is a biological reason for this helps educators or parents to use the right way to help a child to compensate.For example,people who have a reward﹣dependence personality could be helped at an early age by getting enough family support and encouragement,which might balance the risk of turning to smoking
"This study shows that personality types are something you are born with,but your personality can be improved during development with the right way," said Professor Venneri,who carried out the study with colleagues from the University of Parma in Italy and Washington University in St.Louis.
If you know it's not something you do but something you are,you can change the environment to reduce the risk.Knowing that someone has such a personality type could help them prevent or avoid situations where they might seek rewards which could be possibly harmful.
(1)Which type of person may find it hard to quit smoking?
A. "Novelty seeking".
B. "Persistence".
C. 'Harm avoidance".
D. "Reward dependence".
(2)Which of the following is true about shy people?
A.They have structurally smaller orbital﹣frontal areas.
B They can naturally put themselves forward.
C.They are too shy to be educated and helped.
D.They are often shouted at and driven away.
(3)The underlined word "compensate" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ".
A.make up for it
B.come up for it
C.look up to it
D.put up with it
(4)What's the main idea of the passage?
A.People have chances to change their personality completely.
B.Structural differences in the brain have effects on education.
C.Personality types are related to structural differences in the brain.
D Scientists have identified four different personality types.
