Why are there 12 months in a year? And why do the numbers of days vary from 28 to 31?

The first Roman calendar had just 10 months and each month was related to a single cycle of the moon, being 29.5 days long. Therefore, the 10 months of the Roman calendar had about 300 days, 65 days short of 365! Around 700 BC, the King added two more months to the calendar, January and February. Even if there were 12 months, the Roman calendar still had only 355 days! So a thirteenth month, called Mercedinus, was added every two or three years. This new month had 22 or 23 days.

However, some rich people in Rome got themselves chosen to political office for a year, so they could use their power to make themselves wealthier. Anyone who held office in a year with thirteen months had more time to acquire more wealth. Soon the persons who controlled the calendar were bribed* to add a thirteenth month every year.

In 46 BC, the great general Julius Caesar ended it. He rearranged the months so they were more or less equal, having either 30 or 31 days each. Except for February which had 29 days most years and 30 days each leap year*. When he died, the people changed the name of the month of Quintilis to July, in memory of his name.

The next emperor Augustus knew it and also changed the name of the month Sextilis to August after him. July had 31 days, but August had only 30 days. Then he put 31 days in August as well. So where did that extra day come from? It was taken from February!

29.To make each year of the calendar 365 days, the king added _____________ every two or three years.

A.January            B.February         C.Quintilis         D.Mercedinus

30.The rich people in Rome wanted to make every year 13 months ____________.

A.to get more power                  B.to control more people

C.to make more money                D.to make the calendar better

31.Why did Emperor Augustus change the name of Sextilis and made it 31 days?

A.To make the Roman calendar more exact.

B.Because he didn't like the name of Sextilis.

C.To show he was as powerful as Julius Caesar.

D.Because the Roman people asked him to do so.

32.The writer mainly wants to tell us ______________.

A.how the Roman calendar was created

B.when the Roman calendar was changed

C.how many days the Roman calendar had

D.who helped improve the Roman calendar

                                     C

I was amazed as the climber managed to describe every inch of the six-day climb he'd finished a year before. I couldn't believe what an amazing memory he had. Later, I learned that I could remember every inch of my scariest climbs, too. That's because emotion* has a very strong effect on memory.

What is memory? Memory is connecting experiences together so that they can be recalled at a later time. In our brains, neurons play an important role in forming memories.

Memory is the process of connecting certain neurons together to make a connection. We have long-term and short-term memories. ____________ Just imagine how cluttered* your mind would become if you remembered every single thing. Most of the stuff that's stored is useless information.

Short-term memories are formed by connecting two neurons for a while, through chemical changes in the points between neurons, called synapses. The connections soon disappear, because the chemical reactions slowly die out. Long-term memories need turning on genes in the nucleus of the neuron to make new proteins*. These new proteins strengthen the connection between the two neurons through the process of cell growth, making the neurons better connected.

To move a memory from short-term to long-term storage usually takes much repetition and practice. In an experiment,animals could complete an action after they were trained for many times. Afterward, they were given medicine that stopped their genes making new proteins. By the next morning, they'd forgotten bow to complete the action.

However, events that have a powerful emotional influence don't need repetitions to be remembered for a lifetime. When an event causes a strong feeling, your brain will find that no matter what happens, it must be particularly important and worth remembering. If you have ever had a near-death experience, you will never forget it. This is because hormones that are produced in near-death situations send signals to neurons to move whatever short-term memories they are holding into long-term memory. This strong emotion is why a climber can remember the process of a climb in detail.

33.How did the writer start the passage?

A.By giving advice.

B.By asking questions.

C.By giving examples.

D.By listing numbers.

34.Which of the following sentences can be put in “_____________”?

A.What can be stored in our brains?

B.When do we form short-term memories?

C.Where can we store our memories?

D.Why do we have two types of memories?

35.The underlined sentences in Paragraph 4 are written to show _______________.

A.it usually takes less time to form short-term memories

B.short-term memories just last for a short period of time

C.making new proteins is the key to forming long-term memories

D.the medicine that the animals took helped them form memories

36.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Being happy can't help us remember things better.

B.Being scared helps people form long-term memories.

C.Repeating something is the only way to remember it.

D.A powerful emotion is necessary in forming memories.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the church bell rang three times. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and knocked at the door. Having volunteered as the baker's assistant for one day, I hoped to find out the secrets of French bread baking*.

“Be here at 3 o'clock," Monsieur finally agreed.

So here I was.Monsieur poured me some hot chocolate and went to check on the wood-fire oven.

As the church bell struck 4 a.m., I lost my name as if by magic and became Fiston, which meant "boy" in French. Whenever I heard it, I knew an order was sure to follow:

"Fiston, carry the bags of flour..."

“Fiston."

The sourdough* bread, shaped the night before, had been rising for 12 hours. "They need enough time to get ready to be baked," Monsieur told me.

There was no modem equipment, not even a thermometer. Monsieur just put one of his hands into the oven.“If you can just keep your hand in the oven to the count of five, the temperature is right." he explained.

We placed the bread into the oven. The bread was baked to golden brown.

"Faster! Take the bread out before it is too dark."

“If you have done it for millions of times like me, you will know the best time to get it out," he added.

By 6 a.m., the bread was baked and moved to the front of the bakery and it was open for business an hour later.

It was hot and sweat broke out on my forehead. With an encouraging smile Monsieur said," I'd like you to meet Popine, my best friend." Like a farmer who names his cows, Monsieur's sourdough starter had a name, passed down from his great grandfather.

"Say hello," he bellowed at me.

“Hello, Popine," I said, a bit strange about talking to a piece of sourdough.

“Get to know her. Smell it. Any more sour than that and you must feed her again to keep the sourness in check. That way, the bread always has the best taste."

We mixed her with flour, salt, and water to form the next day's bread dough together.

When the church bell rang six times, all I wanted was to go home and sleep.

"Fiston, wait!" Monsieur pressed a piece of his Popine into my hand.“Feed her with what exactly she needs, and she will teach you everything," Monsieur said confidently.

Monsieur was right. For the last few years,I have started every day with her.

"Hello, Popine," I say, pouring myself a bowl of hot chocolate at 3 o'clock in the morning.

37.The underlined word“thermometer" in the passage is a tool that can ____________.

A.bake bread                      B.test temperatures

C.mix sourdough                   D.make hot chocolate

38.According to the passage, how long did the writer work in Monsieur's bakery that day?

A.For three hours.                   B.For nine hours.

C.For fourteen hours.                D.For fifteen hours.

39.What can we infer from the passage?

A.The writer's real name was Fiston.

B.Monsieur refused to share the secrets.

C.The writer preferred to do a relaxing job.

D.Monsieur was humorous and experienced.

40. What do you think were Monsieur's secrets of bread baking?(请用约40词回答)

Dear Tina,

Glad to hear from you.You said you wanted to choose some special Chinese

gifts. I think I can give you some advice.

From my point of view, a cheongsam is a good choice for women such as your mum or your aunt. Cheongsam, a beautiful traditional dress for Chinese women, can show the real beauty of a woman. There are many different styles with different designs and pictures. I'm sure they will be glad to have one.

On the other hand, I advise you to buy some Chinese knots. The Chinese knot, which is a symbol of unity, is very popular with Chinese and is usually hung in the sitting rooms or in the cars. They are not only beautiful decorations, but also can bring good luck to those who you love.

I hope my advice is helpful.Have a nice vacation and remember me to your parents.

Yours.
