When you’re all comfortable and warm, watching the snowflakes pile up outside, you might wonder, what about the poor animals? No fire. No cocoa. No blankets. 1.
Well, it’s really people who aren’t designed to live in cold climates. 2. Geese have built-in down comforters. Bears have fur coats. Robins just fly south. But look at people. No fur. No feathers. No fair! And not everyone can jet off to Florida when it snows.
3. Mainly, our big brains. Still, it’s taken us a long time to figure out how to cope with cold weather, and along the way we’ve borrowed a few tricks from the animals, too.
When you put on a jacket, you feel warm. Why? Because your jacket traps the heat your body produces. Your body uses the food you eat as fuel to stay warm. 4. Active muscles burn more fuel and produce more heat. That’s why you shiver when you’re cold. By shivering, your body is doing its best to get your muscles moving and warm you up.
5. Even in the coldest weather, your brain needs lots of warm blood. That’s one reason why your feet and hands get cold --- your body is sending heat to your brain. If you put on a hat, you will find that your feet and hands get warmer.
A. How do they stand it?
B. It can no longer trap a layer of warm air.
C. If you run or jump around, you feel even warmer.
D. So what do people have to help beat the cold?
E. Animals have lots of cool ways to survive the winter.
F. That’s because water carries heat away from your skin.
G. The most important part of your body to keep warm is your brain.

LONDON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- A four-year-old child’s ability to draw could be an indicator of intelligence at age 14, according to a study published on Tuesday in the British journal Psychological Science.
The researchers from King’s College London (KCL) studied 7,752 pairs of identical and non-identical twins, and found that the link between drawing and later intelligence was influenced by genes.
At the age of 4, children were asked by their parents to complete a ‘Draw-a-Child’ test. Their drawings were rated from 0 to 12, based on the presence and correct number of body-parts, like arms, legs, head, eyes and nose.
The children were also given verbal and non-verbal intelligence tests at ages 4 and 14. According to researchers, the test was devised in the 1920’s to assess children’s intelligence, so it’s not surprising that the test correlated with intelligence at age 4.However, they found that higher scores on the test were also moderately associated with higher scores of intelligence at 14.
The researchers also measured the heritability of figure drawing. Identical twins share all their genes, whereas non-identical twins only share about 50 percent. Overall, at age 4, drawings from identical twin pairs were more similar to one another than drawings from non-identical twin pairs.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that differences in children’s drawings have an important genetic link. They also found that drawing at age 4 and intelligence at age 14 had a strong genetic link.
“Drawing is an ancient behaviour, dating back beyond 15,000 years ago,” Dr. Rosalind Arden, lead author of the paper from KCL, said that: “This capacity to reproduce figures is a uniquely human ability and a sign of cognitive ability, in a similar way to writing, which transformed the human species’ ability to store information, and build a civilisation.”
1.According to the passage, which of the following statement about ‘Draw-a-Child’ test is true?
A. The test was devised in the 1920’s.
B. 7,752 identical and non-identical twins took part in it.
C. The test was set to assess children’s intelligence.
D. The children took the test at four.
2.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “devised” in the 4th paragraph?
A. changed B. formed C. taken D. designed
3.What do we know about the twins from the passage?
A. Those who could draw better at 4 tend to be more intelligent at 14.
B. Twins who look similar to each other draw better pictures.
C. They were chosen to take the drawing test by the researchers.
D. They were tested on how smart they were once.
4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ___________.
A. human society develops because of the ability to draw figures
B. drawing helps improve humans’ ability to study
C. one’s intelligence is related to his ability to draw pictures
D. only human beings are able to draw pictures

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
1. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C. My Father
D. My Childhood
2. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
3. Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
4. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?
A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
