When I was growing up my dad would often give me small tasks to finish to help out around the house. Some were easy but the three I remember the most were the three of all. The first was helping to weed the four we had. It was work. I would rather ride my bike than crawl（爬行）in the dirt on my hands and knees the thousands of weeds in our gardens. The second was piling firewood for . It was tough work and I got more than my of pieces. I would rather walk in the woods than piling it in rows. The third was water from a mountain spring to our house. our well water had too much iron in it to .
Over the years, though, I learned to see the in all the things my dad had made me do. Having fresh vegetables for dinner was a delight. a cold glass of iced ten made from the mountain spring water was a pure . Standing by the wood stove on a snowy December day was a wonderful way to . I saw as well that all this work my dad had given me had
made me a better, stronger and more caring man. Most of all, I that when I did my work with a(n) heart, it didn’t fell like work at all.
Over the years I have learned something else too. When we do the work for our Heavenly Father with a spirit, it doesn’t feel like work, either. It feels like. Every act of kindness, word of encouragement, and gift of love we share will only make our lives better, make our hearts happier, and bring out souls to Heaven.
I am so to both my dad and my Father in Heaven. They showed me the of work and more importantly they showed me the pricelessness of love.

D
My mom has eyes in the back of her head. She also taught me from an early age to be suspicious of strange men, especially when they give you presents. One day, a “nice man” bearing flowers managed to steal 20 euros from her purse, while she was holding it in her hands. “He said he was collecting for a church charity so I pulled out a euro,” she explains, “He said ‘no, no, that’s too much’ and offered to look in my purse to find a smaller coin. He must have slid out that 20 euro note at the same time. I did not even notice until an hour later. I felt so stupid.”
According to neuroscientists, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket is not having nifty (熟练的) fingers, it’s having a working knowledge of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brain. The most important of these loopholes is the fact that our brains are not set up to multi-task. Most of the time that is a good thing — it allows us to filter (过滤) out all but the most important features of the world around us. But a good trickster can use it to against you. This kind of trick involves capturing all of somebody’s attention with other movements. Street pickpockets often use this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a situation that can not help but overload your attention system. Other strategies are more psychological. Pickpockets tend to hang out a “beware of pickpockets” signs, because the first thing people do when they read it is check they still have their valuables, helpfully giving away where they are. And in my mom’s case, the thief’s best trick was not coming across like a pickpocket. “He was a very nice guy and very confident. Not someone that would cause you to suspect,” she says. Apollo Robbins, a stage pickpocket, said smart move, like moving your hand in an arc (弧) motion rather than a straight line, is another popular strategy employed by tricksters.
At last, it should be pointed out that most thefts are opportunistic. The skill level of most thieves is far less than you think. But they are opportunistic enough to keep up with new technology.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. People’s brains are not designed to multi-task.
B. People’s brains can filter out all but the most important features.
C. Somebody’s attention can be distracted by a certain trick.
D. Somebody’s overload attention system.
2.According to the passage, all of the following are pickpocket strategies except _________.

A. people’s brains have many loopholes
B. thieves are more skillful than opportunistic
C. his mom’s losing money is nothing but a by-accident experience
D. signs reminding people of pickpockets can play a negative role in protecting valuables
4.What will the author probably talk about next?
A. Mom’s another suffering
B. Pickpockets concerning new technology
C. Pickpockets’ tricks

Think about the last time you felt afraid．Was it a fear of height?Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office?In any case，you know what it feels like to feel fear．
But one woman doesn’t．The woman，code-named“UM”，gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers．The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid．
UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it．“I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something，”she said．The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease，which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice，small bumps around the eyes，and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain．
In the case of UM，the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear．In the interview，UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint，“I was walking to the store，and I saw a man on a park bench．He said．‘Come here，please，’so I went over to him．He grabbed me by the shirt，put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me．I told him，‘Go ahead and cut me，’I wasn’t afraid at a11．And for some reason，he let me go．”
Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her．They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels．Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals．Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright．
1.The text starts by_______．
A．challenging the reader B．solving daily problems
C．1isting situations D．giving explanations
2.Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?
A．To tell her case from other patients．
B．To respect her privacy．
C．To meet the researchers’demands．
D．To ensure her safety．
3.From UM’s case，we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.
A．stop the brain from functioning normally
B．1ead to a decrease in calcium deposits
C．stop the brain from responding quickly
D．1ead to an increase in carbon dioxide
4.What will probably happen to UM?
A．Dying of the Urbach-Wieth disease．
B．Getting the sense of panic．
C．Experiencing another danger．
D．Speaking with a hoarse voice．

Caffeine not only gives us a daily jump start, but new research suggests it also can strengthen long-term memory.
According to the US Food and Drug Administration, nearly 90 percent of people worldwide consume about 200 milligrams of caffeine each day. That' s equivalent to about one strong cup of coffee a day. Writing in " Nature Neuroscience" , Johns Hopkins University researchers say their findings show that caffeine strengthens certain memories for up to 24 hours after being taken in.
" We've always known that caffeine has cognitive-enhancing effects (促智效果) , but its particular effects on strengthening memories and making them resistant to forgetting has never been examined in detail in humans, " said senior author of the paper Michael Yassa. " We re- port for the first time a specific effect of caffeine on reducing forgetting over 24 hours. " Conducting a double-blind trial, the researchers worked with a test group of people who didn't regularly consume caffeinated products. Five minutes after studying a series of images, the test subjects were given either a placebo(无效对照剂) or a 200-milligram caffeine tablet.
To check the caffeine levels of their test subjects, the research team took saliva samples (唾液样品) from them before they took their tablets and again one, three and 24 hours afterwards.
Both groups of test participants ( those who took the placebo and those who took the caffeine tablet) were tested the following day to see if they could recognize the images they' d seen the previous day.
The test included showing the test subjects another series of images that included some new images , those that were shown the previous day, as well as other images that were similar, but not the same as those they had viewed earlier.
The researchers found that more members of the group who were given the caffeine tablets were able to correctly identify some of the new images as " similar" to previously viewed images rather than incorrectly identifying them as the same.
"We also know that caffeine is associated with health and longevity(长寿) and may have some protective effects from cognitive decline like Alzheimer' s disease (阿尔茨海默症). " said Yassa.
1.The purpose of the new research is ____________.
A．to examine caffeine ' s memory-strengthening effects in detail
B．to write the paper " Nature Neuroscience"
C．to prove caffeine has cognitive-enhancing effects
D．to survey how much caffeine people consume a day
2. During the research , the researchers did the following things EXCEPT ________.
A．giving the test subjects placebos or caffeine tablets
B．checking the caffeine levels of the test subjects
C．showing the test subjects series of images
D．encouraging the test subjects to drink more coffee
3. How did the test subjects show the caffeine ' s memory-strengthening effects?
A．By taking the caffeine tablets instead of placebos.
B．By recognizing images they ' d seen the previous day.
C．By identifying the new images as the same.
D．By telling the differences between new images.
4.What will the next part of the text possibly talk about?
A．Ways to achieve health and longevity.
B．The harmful effects of cognitive decline.
C．The treatment for Alzheimer' s disease.
D．The effects caffeine has on health.

On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island, Florida, Melissa Hawkinson, 41, was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead. What was that? She thought. As she drove up to the scene, she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore. “It was going down pretty quickly,” Hawkinson recalls. She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water. Water is going to be cold, she thought.
She took off her vest and leather boots, got into the icy water, and swam to the car, where she found Cameron Dorsey, five, trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him.
Hawkinson tried to open the door, but it was locked. So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door. She pulled the boy free, swam to shore, and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock. The driver, the boy’s suicidal father, swam back to land on his own. Afterward, Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket. “For ten or 15 minutes, I couldn’t stop shaking,” she said.
There’s nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson, an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile. Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day. Why do some people act quickly, willing to take a risk for a stranger? What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it? Hawkinson, the Granite Mountain Hotshots (能手，高手)---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona--- every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another: what makes them brave?
Moreover, can bravery be learned, or is it a quality with which you are born? The answer is complex. Bravery taps the mind, brain and heart. It comes from instinct, training and sympathy. Today, neurologists, psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery, trying to uncover the mystery.
1.It can be learned from the passage that _______.
A. Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse
B. it was spring when the accident happened
C. Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son
D. Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous.
2.What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph?
A. Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy..
B. The father committed suicide because of the divorce.
C. The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson.
D. No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson.
3.How does the writer find other people on the dockside?
A. Warm and ready to help B. Thoughtful
C. Kind of cold-blooded D. Not skillful at swimming
4. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To set us thinking what makes people brave.
B. To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson.
C. To remind people of risk while saving others.
D. To show people bravery can be learned.
