My mom isn’t fancy like other moms．They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars．My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school．
When fancy moms laugh，their laughs sound soft and whispery．You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall．I show her how to laugh quietly and she practices．But before long she starts lau ghing even harder than before．
At the talent show，my mom cheers loudly，“Bravo，everyone！Bravo！”instead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do．
For our class hike（徒步旅行），parents are invited．At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom，“Please don’t whistle．Don’t laugh loudly．No clapping．And stay in line．”
The other moms show up wearing fancy jackets and sneakers．My mom wears cutoffs，a floppy straw hat，and her old hiking boots．
We hike along，all in a line．Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs，She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain．I shake my head at her．She stops and whispers，“Oops．Sorry，Jane．”
We keep hiking．Everything is perfect until…
Our teacher，Ms．Steele，stops and points，“A snake！”All the moms hold their kids hands and back up，except my mom．“Watch out！It might be poisonous（有毒的）！”Ms．Steele says．
The other moms shuttle back some more．However，my mom steps forward and says，“Hmm．Let’s see what kind it is．Nope，lt’s not poisonous．”
I shut my eyes．I know what’s coming next．Mom makes a sudden attack．“Got it！”she says．The other moms scream，not sounding fancy at all．
Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake．“It’s OK to touch，”she says．
Everyone’s too scared，but I go first．“snakes aren’t slimy，”I tell them．Right away，others line up．A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail．
Later，Ms．Steele tells us to draw our favorite part of the hike．After a while，I look around quickly．Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake．
As we hike back to the bus，I squeeze Mom’s hand．“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule．”She smiles．But soon，she’s whistling her hiking songs again！
I start to make her silent，then stop．Instead，I take a deep breath and sing ou t too．Everyone joins in，even the fancy moms．

We each have a memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things in a short time, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometres away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to London or Paris just to watch a football match. In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then go to college far across the country. When he begins to work, he may possibly move from job to job.

What's going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.2-1-c-n-j-y
Digital money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.
Bionic eye
It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution image could be just a few years away.
Self－driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self－driving car won't get distracted by phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors and cameras on the car would allow it to stick reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car driver itself.
Many vehicle companies are now planning self¬driving cars. “By 2040, driverless vehicles will be widely accepted and possibly be the dominant vehicles on the road，” said Jeffrey Miller, professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage, US.What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?
| A．We use digital money to shop online without paying money. |
| B．Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash. |
| C．Using a credit card is easier and safer than cash |
| D．ATM cards are always popular. |
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
| A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film. |
| B．Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside. |
| C．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future. |
| D．There will be no road accidents at all if self－driving cars are used. |
Which of the following can be predicted from the passage?
| A．There would be a number of self-driving |
| B．The blind could use cameras to see things around. |
| C．We would live a hard life with digital money. |
| D．Robots would control the world. |
From the report, we can learn some information about ________．

Science has discovered that as each bird flaps (拍打) its wings, it makes uplift for the bird behind it. By flying in a “V” formation (队形) , the whole group adds at least 71 percent greater flying range (范围) than if each bird flew on its own.. In autumn, geese head south for the winter, flying in a “V” formation .
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily, because they are traveling with the help of one another.
When a goose falls out of formation, it won’t try to go it alone but will quickly get back into formation.
If we have the sense of a goose, we can stay in formation with people who are heading in the same direction as we are. When the head goose gets tired, it goes back in the wing and another goose flies to the point. It is sensible to take turns to lead, whether with people or with geese flying south.
Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded (受伤) by a gunshot, two other geese fall down with that goose. They follow it down for protection and to lend help. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies.
If we have the sense of a goose, we can stand by each other like that.
If a goose falls out of formation , what will it do?
| A．It will try to go alone. |
| B．It will quickly get back into formation. |
| C．It will ask others for help. |
| D．It will find another formation. |
The word “sensible” in the six paragraph probably means__________ in Chinese.
| A．明显的 | B．意识到的 |
| C．通情达理的 | D．明智的 |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage.
| A．The whole group adds at most 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. |
| B．In winter, geese head south . |
| C．We can’t stay in formation with people who are heading in the same direction as we are. |
| D．When a goose gets sick, two other geese fall down with that goose. |
