Quietly sitting there reading, I fund myself suddenly listening t the train guard’s annuncements. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an annuncement, whether it’s the recrded message r the guard’s message, few peple listen t it, because it’s ften quite dull r hard t understand. This ne was different. I nticed that ther passengers appeared t be listening, t. Nt nly that, everyne was smiling!
Why was s much attentin being paid t this message? As best I can recall the guard said smething alng these lines, “Gd Mrning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7: 35 a.m. frm Penrith t Central and yu’ll be pleased t knw that we are right n time. And what a lvely mrning it is in Sydney tday. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all’s right with the wrld. I trust yu have a great day wherever yu’re ging. Thanks fr catching my train this mrning and I hpe t see yu again sn.”
Quite a few peple (bviusly previus strangers) started talking t ne anther abut the guards excellent message and hw gd it had made everyne feel. I started thinking abut this, and then I fund the yung guard and said “Were yu the guard n the 7: 35 a.m. frm Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate yur annuncement. Thank yu fr yur extremely gd message, which gave me and the ther passengers such a gd start t the day. Please keep ding it.” I said.
There are tw messages fr me in what happened that day. Firstly, when peple are happy in their wrk it shws in what they d and say. Secndly, the stry attaches much imprtance t the benefits that accumulate frm thanking peple fr smething they’ve dne, particularly when it’s nt expected. Can yu imagine the cnversatin that guard wuld have when he gt hme?
4. Why d few train travelers listen t the annuncements?
A. The messages are unattractive.
B. The guard’s vice is nt clear.
C. They usually feel sleepy.
D. They are absrbed in bks.
5. What des the underlined wrd “stunned” in Paragraph 3mean?

It’s 3 ’clck and yu’ve been hard at wrk. As yu sit at yur desk, a strng desire fr chclate vercmes yu. Yu try t busy yurself t make it g away. But it desn’t. Here is anther situatin. Perhaps yu are nt feeling well. The nly thing yu want t eat is a big bwl f chicken sup, like yur mm used t make when yu were sick as a child. Fd cravings area strng desire fr a specific type f fd. And they are nrmal.
Scientists at the website Hw Stuff Wrks cmpare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple cnnectin between the stmach and the brain. They even call it simply “stmach hunger.” When ur stmachs bur x up all f the fd we have eaten, a hrmne (荷尔蒙) sends a message t ne part f the brain fr mre fd, which regulates ur mst basic bdy functins such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then prduces a chemical t start the appetite and yu eat. Hunger is a functin f survival.
A craving is mre cmplex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related t emtin, memry and reward. These are the same areas f the brain activated during drug-craving studies. S, sme scientists call fd cravings “mind hunger.” Peple ften crave fds that are high in fat and sugar. Fds that are high in fat r high in sugar prduce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings f pleasure.
In a 2017 study, researchers at Cambridge University fund that “dieting r restricted eating generally increases the pssibility f fd craving”. S, the mre yu deny yurself a fd that yu want, the mre yu may crave it. Hwever, fasting is a bit different. They fund that eating n fd at all fr a shrt perid f time lessened fd cravings.
S, the next time yu crave smething very specific, knw that yur brain maybe mre t blame than yur stmach.
8. What is the functin f the first paragraph?
A. T remind readers f their wn special fd.
B. T deepen the understanding f hunger.
C. T reprt the discvery f craving study.
D. T lead t the tpic f the whle passage.
9. What d we learn abut fd craving?
A. It shws fd is linked t feelings.
B. It ensures a persn survives hunger.
C. It means the stmach functins well.
D. It prves the brain decides yur appetite.
10. What’s the likely result f dieting?
A. The decrease f chemicals.B. The increase f fd desire.
C. The refusal f fat and sugar.D. The disappearance f appetite.
11. What des the passage mainly discuss?
A. The functins f brain areas.B. What hunger is all abut.
C. The findings f fd craving.D. What dieting may bring us.
D
While staring ut f the windw during a flight; nt everyne will think carefully abut the questin why airplanes have runded windws rather than square nes.
Over the years, aerspace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technlgy, meaning planes can carry mre passengers and g faster. The planes have als changed shape t increase safety — including the windws. As cmmercial air travel tk ff in the mid-20th century, airline cmpanies began t fly at higher altitudes t lwer their cst — the air density (密度) is lwer up there, creating less drag (阻力) fr airplanes. Hwever, higher altitudes came with prblems, like the fact human beings can’t really survive at 30, 000 feet. T make that pssible, the cabin was changed t a cylindrical (圆柱体) shape t supprt the pressure inside. The de Havilland Cmet came int fashin in the 1950s. With a clsed cabin, it was able t g higher and faster than ther aircraft.
But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windws and this expansin meant disaster. Where there’s a crner, there’s a weak spt. Windws, having fur crners, have fur ptential weak spts, making them likely t crash under stress — such as air pressure. By curving the windw, the stress that wuld eventually break the windw crner is distributed and the chance f it breaking is reduced. Runded shapes are als strnger and resist defrmatin (变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and utside f the aircraft.
Frtunately, designers figured ut the lack f design pretty quickly. Nw we have nice, runded airplane windws that can resist the pressure f traveling altitude. It gives being able t gaze ut f yur windw t the wrld frm 35, 000 feet a whle new utlk, desn’t it?
12. Why did airlines aim t fly at higher altitudes?
A. T save mney fr less drag.B. T help the plane t takeff.
C. T increase safety f the plane.D. T carry mre passengers and g faster.
13. What des the underlined wrds “de Havilland Cmet” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. An aircraft.B. A band.C. A planet.D. A design.
14. Which is the advantage f the runded windw?
A. It increases the air pressure.
B. It weakens the strength f air pressure.
C. It reduces the pssibility f breaking up.
D. It helps t survive the extreme weather.
15. Where des this text cme frm?
A. A newspaper n safe driving.B. A science bk n flying.
C. A website n survival skills.D. A magazine n fashin design.

Quietly sitting there reading, I fund myself suddenly listening t the train guard’s annuncements. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an annuncement, whether it’s the recrded message r the guard’s message, few peple listen t it, because it’s ften quite dull r hard t understand. This ne was different. I nticed that ther passengers appeared t be listening, t. Nt nly that, everyne was smiling!
Why was s much attentin being paid t this message? As best I can recall the guard said smething alng these lines, “Gd Mrning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7: 35 a.m. frm Penrith t Central and yu’ll be pleased t knw that we are right n time. And what a lvely mrning it is in Sydney tday. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all’s right with the wrld. I trust yu have a great day wherever yu’re ging. Thanks fr catching my train this mrning and I hpe t see yu again sn.”
Quite a few peple (bviusly previus strangers) started talking t ne anther abut the guards excellent message and hw gd it had made everyne feel. I started thinking abut this, and then I fund the yung guard and said “Were yu the guard n the 7: 35 a.m. frm Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate yur annuncement. Thank yu fr yur extremely gd message, which gave me and the ther passengers such a gd start t the day. Please keep ding it.” I said.
There are tw messages fr me in what happened that day. Firstly, when peple are happy in their wrk it shws in what they d and say. Secndly, the stry attaches much imprtance t the benefits that accumulate frm thanking peple fr smething they’ve dne, particularly when it’s nt expected. Can yu imagine the cnversatin that guard wuld have when he gt hme?

It’s 3 ’clck and yu’ve been hard at wrk. As yu sit at yur desk, a strng desire fr chclate vercmes yu. Yu try t busy yurself t make it g away. But it desn’t. Here is anther situatin. Perhaps yu are nt feeling well. The nly thing yu want t eat is a big bwl f chicken sup, like yur mm used t make when yu were sick as a child. Fd cravings area strng desire fr a specific type f fd. And they are nrmal.
Scientists at the website Hw Stuff Wrks cmpare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple cnnectin between the stmach and the brain. They even call it simply “stmach hunger.” When ur stmachs bur x up all f the fd we have eaten, a hrmne (荷尔蒙) sends a message t ne part f the brain fr mre fd, which regulates ur mst basic bdy functins such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then prduces a chemical t start the appetite and yu eat. Hunger is a functin f survival.
A craving is mre cmplex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related t emtin, memry and reward. These are the same areas f the brain activated during drug-craving studies. S, sme scientists call fd cravings “mind hunger.” Peple ften crave fds that are high in fat and sugar. Fds that are high in fat r high in sugar prduce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings f pleasure.
In a 2017 study, researchers at Cambridge University fund that “dieting r restricted eating generally increases the pssibility f fd craving”. S, the mre yu deny yurself a fd that yu want, the mre yu may crave it. Hwever, fasting is a bit different. They fund that eating n fd at all fr a shrt perid f time lessened fd cravings.
S, the next time yu crave smething very specific, knw that yur brain maybe mre t blame than yur stmach.
8. What is the functin f the first paragraph?
A. T remind readers f their wn special fd.
B. T deepen the understanding f hunger.
C. T reprt the discvery f craving study.
D. T lead t the tpic f the whle passage.
9. What d we learn abut fd craving?
A. It shws fd is linked t feelings.
B. It ensures a persn survives hunger.
C. It means the stmach functins well.
D. It prves the brain decides yur appetite.
10. What’s the likely result f dieting?
A. The decrease f chemicals.B. The increase f fd desire.
C. The refusal f fat and sugar.D. The disappearance f appetite.
11. What des the passage mainly discuss?
A. The functins f brain areas.B. What hunger is all abut.
C. The findings f fd craving.D. What dieting may bring us.

While staring ut f the windw during a flight; nt everyne will think carefully abut the questin why airplanes have runded windws rather than square nes.
Over the years, aerspace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technlgy, meaning planes can carry mre passengers and g faster. The planes have als changed shape t increase safety — including the windws. As cmmercial air travel tk ff in the mid-20th century, airline cmpanies began t fly at higher altitudes t lwer their cst — the air density (密度) is lwer up there, creating less drag (阻力) fr airplanes. Hwever, higher altitudes came with prblems, like the fact human beings can’t really survive at 30, 000 feet. T make that pssible, the cabin was changed t a cylindrical (圆柱体) shape t supprt the pressure inside. The de Havilland Cmet came int fashin in the 1950s. With a clsed cabin, it was able t g higher and faster than ther aircraft.
But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windws and this expansin meant disaster. Where there’s a crner, there’s a weak spt. Windws, having fur crners, have fur ptential weak spts, making them likely t crash under stress — such as air pressure. By curving the windw, the stress that wuld eventually break the windw crner is distributed and the chance f it breaking is reduced. Runded shapes are als strnger and resist defrmatin (变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and utside f the aircraft.
Frtunately, designers figured ut the lack f design pretty quickly. Nw we have nice, runded airplane windws that can resist the pressure f traveling altitude. It gives being able t gaze ut f yur windw t the wrld frm 35, 000 feet a whle new utlk, desn’t it?
12. Why did airlines aim t fly at higher altitudes?
A. T save mney fr less drag.B. T help the plane t takeff.
C. T increase safety f the plane.D. T carry mre passengers and g faster.
13. What des the underlined wrds “de Havilland Cmet” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. An aircraft.B. A band.C. A planet.D. A design.
14. Which is the advantage f the runded windw?
A. It increases the air pressure.
B. It weakens the strength f air pressure.
C. It reduces the pssibility f breaking up.
D. It helps t survive the extreme weather.
15. Where des this text cme frm?
A. A newspaper n safe driving.B. A science bk n flying.
C. A website n survival skills.D. A magazine n fashin design.
