Every boy wants to find treasure.And Tom was not different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.
“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.
“It’s hidden on islands,under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的)houses."
So,one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill.It was a quiet and lonely place,which made the boys feel very frightened.They entered quietly,and explored downstairs.There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken.Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there.They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.
“What is it?"whispered Huck,going white with fear.
"Keep quiet!There's someone downstairs."
The boys lay down,looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs.One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero(宽边帽)hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking.
Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe.He said.
"It's time for us to move,partner.What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”
"Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here."
The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone.Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs.Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.
“What is it?” asked the other man.
"It's a box,"said Indian Joe.And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins.
The other man found the boys' tools,and they soon pulled out the box.
"There's much money,thousands of dollars in there,"said Indian Joe.
“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,"said his partner.
"They must have hidden their money here."
“What will we do with this,Joe?Will we bury(埋)it again?”
“No,someone might find it,” said Indian Joe.“Let’s bury it in the number two den(窝点):”
Tom and Huck got up as soon' as the two men left.They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero" when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.
52.Who does the underlined word"He"refer to?
A.Tom. B.Huck. C.Indian Joe. D.The dirty man.

Everybody has a brain,but not many people know how the brain works.Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer. We use it to store files---pictures,language(words,texts,sounds) and so on.Others think the brain to be a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it.We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not a computer disk.And it isn't a cupboard.Look at the picture here. It looks a bit like weeds(杂草)in a garden,doesn't it? The picture actually shows a child's neocortex ---a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing.You can guess what happens---more“weeds" grow as the child gets older.Scientists call these neuronal(神经元的)networks.The networks grow around our neurons.
What makes them grow? Learning!“Learning is brain change,” says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland,Ohio,USA."Without learning,nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing,a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”
The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember.You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better.Professor Zull says yes,there is.He says that brain change is strongest when you are interested in and like what you are learning,you are in control of what you learn and you get challenging tasks that make you think hard.Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain.
55.What's the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.The brain---a fantastic computer. B.What people believe about the brain.
C.How to make your brain stronger. D.Our brain---a growing system.
56.Which of the following things cannot make our brain grow better?
A.Learning new words in your favorite English class.
B.Being the first to work out a math problem.
C.Singing old songs when you are feeling bad.
D.Drawing a mind map after reading a new story.
57.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Interest is the best teacher B.Go to meet life's challenges!
C.Never too late to learn D.Learning really makes people clever?
