Misadventure in English
Last week，our forum （论坛） asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English.Here are some of our favourite posts.
Sophie
When I first visited New York，I went to a shopping centre.I asked a lady where the shoes were.She said they were on the first floor.I went upstairs.But I couldn't find any.I thought she gave me the wrong information.Then，I realized that the first floor was the ground floor.
Yancy.
I went to a summer school in Manchester.One day，the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn't teach that day because she had a frog in her throat.Why did she eat a frog？Then I learned that it means someone's throat is dry or blocked.How funny!
Julien
My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was "wicked （邪恶的）".But when I met his grandfather，I liked him a lot.I found it very strange.Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man？Guess what？When speaking informally， "wicked" means "very nice".
Zheng Xu
I was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one in China.I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper.But my teacher gave me "Not bad!" Not bad？There weren't any mistakes!Actually，British people use "not bad" when things are pretty good!I got a good comment!

Dog's Best Friend
Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus，Georgia，when his riding partner，Chris Dixon，stopped suddenly.Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention.It turned out to be a sandy﹣colored five﹣month﹣old dog.
"He was really thin，and had a broken leg，" Lite told CBS News.The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water.They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them，although they had no idea how.They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. "We couldn't leave him，" Little said. "Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows，he was going to end up as alligator （短吻鳄） food."
Little，a 31﹣year﹣old business owner，had an idea.He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38﹣pound dog's back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt.Then he placed the dog's front legs over his shoulders.
"He was hurt，so he wasn't trying to fight，" Little says. "He was also happy that we were there，touching him，and hadn't taken off on him."
Their 30﹣minute ride into town ended at a bike store，where they got more water and food for the dog. "That was when Andrea Shaw，a company worker，happened by.The dog went straight to her，smelling and "loving on her，" says Dixon.Shaw was touched and，after learning what had happened，decided to keep the dog.
Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they'd met and planned an operation on his leg.Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six﹣year﹣old boy to keep him company.As Dixon said， "He is really the luckiest dog alive."
（1）Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing？
A.She noticed something moving among the trees.
B.She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.
C.She met some other riding partners by chance.
D.She wanted to share some water with Little.
（2）What can we learn about the dog？

B.He is kept happily on a farm.
C.He weighed about 31 pounds.
D.He ended up as alligator food.
（3）According to the passage，the dog's best friend is .

D.CBS News
16．（6分）There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat"，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you.Many experts （专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit.For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight.To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food.However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
"When we say some people 'sweet'，we mean they are kind and friendly to us.Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts，" said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day.What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."
In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character﹣whether，for example，they were soft﹣hearted or not.Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food.According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food.So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful.Next time，try some ice﹣cream.
（1）According to the result of the experiments，sweet food can make people .
A.overweight
B.excited
C.relaxed
D.friendly
（2）The purpose of the experiment in paragraph 4 is to show .
A.character and behavior has something to do with people's taste
B.why some people like sweet food better than other kinds
C.people who like cookies and chocolate like helping others
D.Non﹣sweet food eaters are not willing to volunteer to help those in need
（3）We can learn from the passage that .
A.people's taste decides their characters and acts
B.sweet food makes people overweight
C.people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D.people's character has nothing to do with their taste
17．（8分）Mindlessly checking Facebook makes you an awful lot like a lab mouse continuously pushing a button in order to get a treat.
When you check your phone，your brain gets its own little zing；Someone might be talking about you on Facebook!No？Reload.Maybe your Instagram got a heart!Reload.Reload.
But you're no rat.Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains，if we learn some skills to deal with this problem.
Are Facebook or Twitter "addictions" （瘾） ？Recent scientific research about social media doesn't agree on that term，but evidence that we aren't doing well is present at dinner tables where everyone is staring at screens，and at crosswalks where absent﹣minded people walk into traffic.
I became mindful of my early﹣morning bad habits.Pre﹣coffee，half awake，I'd lie there for an hour with my phone.So I called up psychologists，brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.
Surprisingly，they didn't tell me to immediately stop，but instead，they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.
Limit Triggers （诱因）
Our brains are made to quickly eat up information.So why let social﹣media companies decide when to attract you？Turn off app notifications on your phone and computer，especially for live video broadcasts.They are designed to create the fear of missing out.
Avoid Quicksand （流沙，陷阱）
When you're on Facebook，it is easy to read one article，then another.Nir Eyal，author of the 2014 book "Hooked" says he forces himself not to read anything right away.Instead，he saves articles to a service called Pocket，which reads them aloud while he's at the gym.
We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work.Our brains need a chance to be empty.Research suggests the best way to help your brain focus is exercise，even for a short period.Staring into space would be better than refreshing Facebook.
Make New Norms
Not that long ago，you could be fired for not paying attention during a meeting or class；now，many openly use their phones or laptops.Bosses could set a better work culture by providing charging stations at meetings where everyone could leave their phones，then focus on the discussion at hand.Mr.Eyal suggests you try shaming friends who have bad habits﹣ if you do it politely.If someone is not listening to you at dinner，ask， "Is everything OK？" The answer might start an important conversation.
Tech Should Help
The social﹣media industry has a responsibility here，too.Since companies usually know exactly how much time users spend on their apps，they should offer help to people who have problem behavior.And for the rest of us，let's encourage app makers to make their products more helpful，not more demanding of our time.
（1）What does the underlined word "hijack" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A.Wash.
B.Hurt.
C.Control.
D.Empty.
（2）Why does Mr.Eyal save articles to Pocket？
A.To rest his tired brain.
B.To refresh his Facebook immediately.
C.To get more time to exercise.
D.To avoid being attracted by social media.
（3）What is the best title of this passage？
A.Take a break from busy life.
B.Free your brain from social media.
C.Separate social life from your work.
D.Keep your life away from apps.
（4）What can we infer from the passage？
A.The social﹣media industry should make more app products.
B.People with problem behavior should ask brain scientists for help.
C.We should decide when to connect to social media by ourselves.
D.A company with charging stations must have a better work culture.

【解答】（1）B．考查副词。happily高兴地，easily容易地，轻易地，slowly慢慢地，carefully细心地。根据上文Everyone knew that Stuti was the best speller in the whole class.可知Stuti是全班最好的拼写者，可推断出这里指"她能很容易地拼写出"百科全书"和"修正案"等难懂的单词"。故选B。
（2）D．考查名词。plan计划，suggestion建议，guess猜测，rule规定。根据下文any child who doesn't get at least 60% correct spellings would have to correct each wrong word and copy three times for next week's spelling test.（在下周的拼写测试中，任何一个拼写正确率不到60%的孩子都必须纠正每一个错误的单词并抄写三遍），可知这里指"她的英语老师Daisy制定了一个拼写测试规则"。故选D。
（3）B．考查动词。check检查，copy复制，read阅读，pronounce发音。根据上文any child who doesn't get at least 60% correct spellings would have to correct each wrong word and copy three times for next week's spelling test.可知，在下周的拼写测试中，任何一个拼写正确率不到60%的孩子都必须纠正每一个错误的单词并抄写三遍。由此可知这里指"Seema拼写正确率达56%，剩下的44%的单词她不得不抄写三遍"。故选B。
（4）D．考查形容词。special特殊的，unusual不寻常的，confused糊涂的/迷惑的，confident自信的。根据文章开头Everyone knew that Stuti was the best speller in the whole class.She could spell difficult words like "encyclopedia" and "amendment" very easily.可知"Stuti对自己的拼写能力很有信心，所以她决定不再为下一次的拼写考试做准备"。故选D。
（5）A．考查动词。knew知道，proved证明，found发现，wondered想知道。根据下文Seema had written this word three times.（Seema已经把这个词写了三遍），可知这里指"Stuti突然想到Semma知道怎么拼这个词"。故选A。
（6）C．考查动词。changed改变，picked捡，finished完成，replaced代替。根据上文Stuti scribbled（ 匆匆书写） h﹣a﹣n﹣d﹣k﹣e﹣r﹣c﹣h…可知，Stuti已经写了h﹣a﹣n﹣d﹣k﹣e﹣r﹣c﹣h，可推断出这指"她用字母"i﹣e﹣f"补充完整了单词Handkerchief。故选C。
（7）A．考查动词。cheated欺骗，asked问，looked看着，remembered记得。根据下文She thought， "Is this the way I want to keep my perfect record﹣by being a cheater？"（她想：我是通过作弊来保持完美记录吗？），由此可推断出这是她有生以来第一次作弊。故选A。
（8）C．考查名词。choice选择，courage勇气，honesty诚实，pride骄傲。根据上文Finally，she erased what she had written earlier and replaced it with what she knew was the wrong answer.She wrote "e﹣i﹣f".（最终，她把之前写的东西擦掉，换成了她知道的错误答案），可知Stuti至少是诚实的。故选C。

Sophie
When I first visited New York，I went to a shopping centre.I asked a lady where the shoes were.She said they were on the first floor.I went upstairs.But I couldn't find any.I thought she gave me the wrong information.Then，I realized that the first floor was the ground floor.
Yancy.
I went to a summer school in Manchester.One day，the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn't teach that day because she had a frog in her throat.Why did she eat a frog？Then I learned that it means someone's throat is dry or blocked.How funny!
Julien
My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was "wicked （邪恶的）".But when I met his grandfather，I liked him a lot.I found it very strange.Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man？Guess what？When speaking informally， "wicked" means "very nice".

Dog's Best Friend
Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus，Georgia，when his riding partner，Chris Dixon，stopped suddenly.Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention.It turned out to be a sandy﹣colored five﹣month﹣old dog.
"He was really thin，and had a broken leg，" Lite told CBS News.The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water.They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them，although they had no idea how.They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. "We couldn't leave him，" Little said. "Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows，he was going to end up as alligator （短吻鳄） food."
Little，a 31﹣year﹣old business owner，had an idea.He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38﹣pound dog's back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt.Then he placed the dog's front legs over his shoulders.
"He was hurt，so he wasn't trying to fight，" Little says. "He was also happy that we were there，touching him，and hadn't taken off on him."
Their 30﹣minute ride into town ended at a bike store，where they got more water and food for the dog. "That was when Andrea Shaw，a company worker，happened by.The dog went straight to her，smelling and "loving on her，" says Dixon.Shaw was touched and，after learning what had happened，decided to keep the dog.
Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they'd met and planned an operation on his leg.Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six﹣year﹣old boy to keep him company.As Dixon said， "He is really the luckiest dog alive."
（1）Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing？ A
A.She noticed something moving among the trees.
B.She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.
C.She met some other riding partners by chance.
D.She wanted to share some water with Little.
（2）What can we learn about the dog？
A.He is unfriendly to people.
B.He is kept happily on a farm.
C.He weighed about 31 pounds.
D.He ended up as alligator food.
（3）According to the passage，the dog's best friend is .
A.the alligator
B.the human
C.the horse
D.CBS News
【解答】（1）A .细节理解题。根据"Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention.""附近有什么东西在树林中移动引起了她的注意。"可知，他的骑行伙伴突然停下来是因为旁边的树林中有东西在移动。故选A。
（2）B .推理判断题。根据"Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm...As Dixon said，'He is really the luckiest dog alive."可知，今天，Columbo 正在农场过着美好的生活。正如 Dixon 所说，"它真的是世上最幸运的狗。"由此可推断，这只狗现在过着幸福的生活。故选B。
（3）B .推理判断题。文中这只狗先是被 Jarrett Little 和 Chris Dixon 救助，然后又被 Andrea Shaw 收养，并被治好了受伤的腿，并且过上了幸福的生活，所以说狗的最好的朋友是人类。故选B。
16．（6分）There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat"，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you.Many experts （专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit.For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight.To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food.However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
"When we say some people 'sweet'，we mean they are kind and friendly to us.Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts，" said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day.What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."
In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character﹣whether，for example，they were soft﹣hearted or not.Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food.According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food.So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful.Next time，try some ice﹣cream.
（1）According to the result of the experiments，sweet food can make people D .
A.overweight
B.excited
C.relaxed
D.friendly
（2）The purpose of the experiment in paragraph 4 is to show A .
A.character and behavior has something to do with people's taste
B.why some people like sweet food better than other kinds
C.people who like cookies and chocolate like helping others
D.Non﹣sweet food eaters are not willing to volunteer to help those in need
（3）We can learn from the passage that C .
A.people's taste decides their characters and acts
B.sweet food makes people overweight
C.people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D.people's character has nothing to do with their taste
【解答】细节理解题。
（1）D overweight超重；excited兴奋的；relaxed放松的；friendly友好的。根据"According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.根据他们的回答，科学家们发现喜欢甜食的学生更友善。"可知科学家发现喜欢吃甜食的人更友好。故选D。
（2）A 根据 In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.在他们的另一项实验中，科学家们发现，喜欢甜食（如饼干和巧克力）的人更愿意帮助其他需要帮助的人，而喜欢吃薯条等非甜食的人则不愿意。可知这个实验的主要目的是为了说明性格和行为与人们的口味有关，故选A。
（3）C 根据 In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.在他们的另一项实验中，科学家们发现，喜欢甜食（如饼干和巧克力）的人更愿意帮助其他需要帮助的人，而喜欢吃薯条等非甜食的人则不愿意。可知爱吃甜食的人更愿意帮助别人。故选C。
17．（8分）Mindlessly checking Facebook makes you an awful lot like a lab mouse continuously pushing a button in order to get a treat.
When you check your phone，your brain gets its own little zing；Someone might be talking about you on Facebook!No？Reload.Maybe your Instagram got a heart!Reload.Reload.
But you're no rat.Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains，if we learn some skills to deal with this problem.
Are Facebook or Twitter "addictions" （瘾） ？Recent scientific research about social media doesn't agree on that term，but evidence that we aren't doing well is present at dinner tables where everyone is staring at screens，and at crosswalks where absent﹣minded people walk into traffic.
I became mindful of my early﹣morning bad habits.Pre﹣coffee，half awake，I'd lie there for an hour with my phone.So I called up psychologists，brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.
Surprisingly，they didn't tell me to immediately stop，but instead，they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.
Limit Triggers （诱因）
Our brains are made to quickly eat up information.So why let social﹣media companies decide when to attract you？Turn off app notifications on your phone and computer，especially for live video broadcasts.They are designed to create the fear of missing out.
Avoid Quicksand （流沙，陷阱）
When you're on Facebook，it is easy to read one article，then another.Nir Eyal，author of the 2014 book "Hooked" says he forces himself not to read anything right away.Instead，he saves articles to a service called Pocket，which reads them aloud while he's at the gym.
We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work.Our brains need a chance to be empty.Research suggests the best way to help your brain focus is exercise，even for a short period.Staring into space would be better than refreshing Facebook.
Make New Norms
Not that long ago，you could be fired for not paying attention during a meeting or class；now，many openly use their phones or laptops.Bosses could set a better work culture by providing charging stations at meetings where everyone could leave their phones，then focus on the discussion at hand.Mr.Eyal suggests you try shaming friends who have bad habits﹣ if you do it politely.If someone is not listening to you at dinner，ask， "Is everything OK？" The answer might start an important conversation.
Tech Should Help
The social﹣media industry has a responsibility here，too.Since companies usually know exactly how much time users spend on their apps，they should offer help to people who have problem behavior.And for the rest of us，let's encourage app makers to make their products more helpful，not more demanding of our time.
（1）What does the underlined word "hijack" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ C
A.Wash.
B.Hurt.
C.Control.
D.Empty.
（2）Why does Mr.Eyal save articles to Pocket？ D
A.To rest his tired brain.
B.To refresh his Facebook immediately.
C.To get more time to exercise.
D.To avoid being attracted by social media.
（3）What is the best title of this passage？
A.Take a break from busy life.
B.Free your brain from social media.
C.Separate social life from your work.
D.Keep your life away from apps.
（4）What can we infer from the passage？ C
A.The social﹣media industry should make more app products.
B.People with problem behavior should ask brain scientists for help.
C.We should decide when to connect to social media by ourselves.
D.A company with charging stations must have a better work culture.
【解答】（1）C 词义猜测题。根据上文When you check your phone，your brain gets its own little zing；Someone might be talking about you on Facebook！No？Reload.Maybe your Instagram got a heart！Reload.Reload.可知：当你检查手机时，你的大脑会有点兴奋。有人可能在Facebook上谈论你！没有？重新加载。可能会你的照片分享会得到一颗心！重新加载。结合文中Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains...可知这里应该是指：程序"控制"你的大脑。故选：C。
（2）D 细节理解题。根据Instead，he saves articles to a service called Pocket，which reads them aloud while he's at the gym.We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work.Our brains need a chance to be empty.可知：把文章保存到一种叫Pocket的服务，以免受到社交媒体的打扰。故选：D。
（3）B 标题归纳题。根据文中几个小标题Limit Triggers，Avoid Quicksand，Make New Norms，Tech Should Help可以推断出，本文最好的标题是：把你的大脑从社交媒体中解放出来。故选：B。
（4）C 推理判断题。根据 I became mindful of my early﹣morning bad habits.Pre﹣coffee，half awake，I'd lie there for an hour with my phone.So I called up psychologists，brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.我开始注意我清晨的坏习惯。喝咖啡前，半睡半醒，我会在那里躺上一个小时，拿着手机。所以我打电话给心理学家、脑科学家和应用程序设计师，征求他们对我有什么实际帮助的建议。Surprisingly，they didn't tell me to immediately stop，but instead，they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.令人惊讶的是，他们没有告诉我立即停止，而是告诉我，我需要管理社交媒体的技能，这是我生活的一部分。可以推断出：我们应该自己决定什么时候接触社交媒体。故选：C。

Misadventure in English
Last week，our forum （论坛） asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English.Here are some of our favourite posts.
Sophie
When I first visited New York，I went to a shopping centre.I asked a lady where the shoes were.She said they were on the first floor.I went upstairs.But I couldn't find any.I thought she gave me the wrong information.Then，I realized that the first floor was the ground floor.
Yancy.
I went to a summer school in Manchester.One day，the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn't teach that day because she had a frog in her throat.Why did she eat a frog？Then I learned that it means someone's throat is dry or blocked.How funny!
Julien
My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was "wicked （邪恶的）".But when I met his grandfather，I liked him a lot.I found it very strange.Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man？Guess what？When speaking informally， "wicked" means "very nice".
Zheng Xu
I was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one in China.I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper.But my teacher gave me "Not bad!"

Dog's Best Friend
Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus，Georgia，when his riding partner，Chris Dixon，stopped suddenly.Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention.It turned out to be a sandy﹣colored five﹣month﹣old dog.
"He was really thin，and had a broken leg，" Lite told CBS News.The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water.They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them，although they had no idea how.They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. "We couldn't leave him，" Little said. "Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows，he was going to end up as alligator （短吻鳄） food."
Little，a 31﹣year﹣old business owner，had an idea.He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38﹣pound dog's back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt.Then he placed the dog's front legs over his shoulders.
"He was hurt，so he wasn't trying to fight，" Little says. "He was also happy that we were there，touching him，and hadn't taken off on him."
Their 30﹣minute ride into town ended at a bike store，where they got more water and food for the dog. "That was when Andrea Shaw，a company worker，happened by.The dog went straight to her，smelling and "loving on her，" says Dixon.Shaw was touched and，after learning what had happened，decided to keep the dog.
Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they'd met and planned an operation on his leg.Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six﹣year﹣old boy to keep him company.As Dixon said， "He is really the luckiest dog alive."
（1）Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing？
A.She noticed something moving among the trees.
B.She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.
C.She met some other riding partners by chance.
D.She wanted to share some water with Little.
（2）What can we learn about the dog？

B.He is kept happily on a farm.
C.He weighed about 31 pounds.
D.He ended up as alligator food.
（3）According to the passage，the dog's best friend is .

D.CBS News
16．（6分）There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat"，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you.Many experts （专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit.For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight.To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food.However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
"When we say some people 'sweet'，we mean they are kind and friendly to us.Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts，" said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day.What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."
In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character﹣whether，for example，they were soft﹣hearted or not.Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food.According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food.So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful.Next time，try some ice﹣cream.
（1）According to the result of the experiments，sweet food can make people .
A.overweight
B.excited
C.relaxed
D.friendly
（2）The purpose of the experiment in paragraph 4 is to show .
A.character and behavior has something to do with people's taste
B.why some people like sweet food better than other kinds
C.people who like cookies and chocolate like helping others
D.Non﹣sweet food eaters are not willing to volunteer to help those in need
（3）We can learn from the passage that .
A.people's taste decides their characters and acts
B.sweet food makes people overweight
C.people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D.people's character has nothing to do with their taste
17．（8分）Mindlessly checking Facebook makes you an awful lot like a lab mouse continuously pushing a button in order to get a treat.
When you check your phone，your brain gets its own little zing；Someone might be talking about you on Facebook!No？Reload.Maybe your Instagram got a heart!Reload.Reload.
But you're no rat.Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains，if we learn some skills to deal with this problem.
Are Facebook or Twitter "addictions" （瘾） ？Recent scientific research about social media doesn't agree on that term，but evidence that we aren't doing well is present at dinner tables where everyone is staring at screens，and at crosswalks where absent﹣minded people walk into traffic.
I became mindful of my early﹣morning bad habits.Pre﹣coffee，half awake，I'd lie there for an hour with my phone.So I called up psychologists，brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.
Surprisingly，they didn't tell me to immediately stop，but instead，they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.
Limit Triggers （诱因）
Our brains are made to quickly eat up information.So why let social﹣media companies decide when to attract you？Turn off app notifications on your phone and computer，especially for live video broadcasts.They are designed to create the fear of missing out.
Avoid Quicksand （流沙，陷阱）
When you're on Facebook，it is easy to read one article，then another.Nir Eyal，author of the 2014 book "Hooked" says he forces himself not to read anything right away.Instead，he saves articles to a service called Pocket，which reads them aloud while he's at the gym.
We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work.Our brains need a chance to be empty.Research suggests the best way to help your brain focus is exercise，even for a short period.Staring into space would be better than refreshing Facebook.
Make New Norms
Not that long ago，you could be fired for not paying attention during a meeting or class；now，many openly use their phones or laptops.Bosses could set a better work culture by providing charging stations at meetings where everyone could leave their phones，then focus on the discussion at hand.Mr.Eyal suggests you try shaming friends who have bad habits﹣ if you do it politely.If someone is not listening to you at dinner，ask， "Is everything OK？" The answer might start an important conversation.
Tech Should Help
The social﹣media industry has a responsibility here，too.Since companies usually know exactly how much time users spend on their apps，they should offer help to people who have problem behavior.And for the rest of us，let's encourage app makers to make their products more helpful，not more demanding of our time.
（1）What does the underlined word "hijack" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A.Wash.
B.Hurt.
C.Control.
D.Empty.
（2）Why does Mr.Eyal save articles to Pocket？
A.To rest his tired brain.
B.To refresh his Facebook immediately.
C.To get more time to exercise.
D.To avoid being attracted by social media.
（3）What is the best title of this passage？
A.Take a break from busy life.
B.Free your brain from social media.
C.Separate social life from your work.
D.Keep your life away from apps.
（4）What can we infer from the passage？
A.The social﹣media industry should make more app products.
B.People with problem behavior should ask brain scientists for help.
C.We should decide when to connect to social media by ourselves.
D.A company with charging stations must have a better work culture.

【解答】（1）B．考查副词。happily高兴地，easily容易地，轻易地，slowly慢慢地，carefully细心地。根据上文Everyone knew that Stuti was the best speller in the whole class.可知Stuti是全班最好的拼写者，可推断出这里指"她能很容易地拼写出"百科全书"和"修正案"等难懂的单词"。故选B。
（2）D．考查名词。plan计划，suggestion建议，guess猜测，rule规定。根据下文any child who doesn't get at least 60% correct spellings would have to correct each wrong word and copy three times for next week's spelling test.（在下周的拼写测试中，任何一个拼写正确率不到60%的孩子都必须纠正每一个错误的单词并抄写三遍），可知这里指"她的英语老师Daisy制定了一个拼写测试规则"。故选D。
（3）B．考查动词。check检查，copy复制，read阅读，pronounce发音。根据上文any child who doesn't get at least 60% correct spellings would have to correct each wrong word and copy three times for next week's spelling test.可知，在下周的拼写测试中，任何一个拼写正确率不到60%的孩子都必须纠正每一个错误的单词并抄写三遍。由此可知这里指"Seema拼写正确率达56%，剩下的44%的单词她不得不抄写三遍"。故选B。
（4）D．考查形容词。special特殊的，unusual不寻常的，confused糊涂的/迷惑的，confident自信的。根据文章开头Everyone knew that Stuti was the best speller in the whole class.She could spell difficult words like "encyclopedia" and "amendment" very easily.可知"Stuti对自己的拼写能力很有信心，所以她决定不再为下一次的拼写考试做准备"。故选D。
（5）A．考查动词。knew知道，proved证明，found发现，wondered想知道。根据下文Seema had written this word three times.（Seema已经把这个词写了三遍），可知这里指"Stuti突然想到Semma知道怎么拼这个词"。故选A。
（6）C．考查动词。changed改变，picked捡，finished完成，replaced代替。根据上文Stuti scribbled（ 匆匆书写） h﹣a﹣n﹣d﹣k﹣e﹣r﹣c﹣h…可知，Stuti已经写了h﹣a﹣n﹣d﹣k﹣e﹣r﹣c﹣h，可推断出这指"她用字母"i﹣e﹣f"补充完整了单词Handkerchief。故选C。
（7）A．考查动词。cheated欺骗，asked问，looked看着，remembered记得。根据下文She thought， "Is this the way I want to keep my perfect record﹣by being a cheater？"（她想：我是通过作弊来保持完美记录吗？），由此可推断出这是她有生以来第一次作弊。故选A。
（8）C．考查名词。choice选择，courage勇气，honesty诚实，pride骄傲。根据上文Finally，she erased what she had written earlier and replaced it with what she knew was the wrong answer.She wrote "e﹣i﹣f".（最终，她把之前写的东西擦掉，换成了她知道的错误答案），可知Stuti至少是诚实的。故选C。

Dog's Best Friend
Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus，Georgia，when his riding partner，Chris Dixon，stopped suddenly.Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention.It turned out to be a sandy﹣colored five﹣month﹣old dog.
"He was really thin，and had a broken leg，" Lite told CBS News.The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water.They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them，although they had no idea how.They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. "We couldn't leave him，" Little said. "Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows，he was going to end up as alligator （短吻鳄） food."
Little，a 31﹣year﹣old business owner，had an idea.He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38﹣pound dog's back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt.Then he placed the dog's front legs over his shoulders.
"He was hurt，so he wasn't trying to fight，" Little says. "He was also happy that we were there，touching him，and hadn't taken off on him."
Their 30﹣minute ride into town ended at a bike store，where they got more water and food for the dog. "That was when Andrea Shaw，a company worker，happened by.The dog went straight to her，smelling and "loving on her，" says Dixon.Shaw was touched and，after learning what had happened，decided to keep the dog.
Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they'd met and planned an operation on his leg.Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six﹣year﹣old boy to keep him company.As Dixon said， "He is really the luckiest dog alive."

A.She noticed something moving among the trees.

D.She wanted to share some water with Little.
（2）What can we learn about the dog？

C.He weighed about 31 pounds.
D.He ended up as alligator food.
（3）According to the passage，the dog's best friend is .

D.CBS News
【解答】（1）A .细节理解题。根据"Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention.""附近有什么东西在树林中移动引起了她的注意。"可知，他的骑行伙伴突然停下来是因为旁边的树林中有东西在移动。故选A。
（2）B .推理判断题。根据"Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm...As Dixon said，'He is really the luckiest dog alive."可知，今天，Columbo 正在农场过着美好的生活。正如 Dixon 所说，"它真的是世上最幸运的狗。"由此可推断，这只狗现在过着幸福的生活。故选B。
（3）B .推理判断题。文中这只狗先是被 Jarrett Little 和 Chris Dixon 救助，然后又被 Andrea Shaw 收养，并被治好了受伤的腿，并且过上了幸福的生活，所以说狗的最好的朋友是人类。故选B。
16．（6分）There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat"，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you.Many experts （专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit.For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight.To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food.However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
"When we say some people 'sweet'，we mean they are kind and friendly to us.Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts，" said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day.What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."
In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character﹣whether，for example，they were soft﹣hearted or not.Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food.According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food.So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful.Next time，try some ice﹣cream.
（1）According to the result of the experiments，sweet food can make people D .
A.overweight
B.excited
C.relaxed
D.friendly
（2）The purpose of the experiment in paragraph 4 is to show A .
A.character and behavior has something to do with people's taste
B.why some people like sweet food better than other kinds
C.people who like cookies and chocolate like helping others
D.Non﹣sweet food eaters are not willing to volunteer to help those in need
（3）We can learn from the passage that C .
A.people's taste decides their characters and acts
B.sweet food makes people overweight
C.people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D.people's character has nothing to do with their taste
【解答】细节理解题。
（1）D overweight超重；excited兴奋的；relaxed放松的；friendly友好的。根据"According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.根据他们的回答，科学家们发现喜欢甜食的学生更友善。"可知科学家发现喜欢吃甜食的人更友好。故选D。
（2）A 根据 In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.在他们的另一项实验中，科学家们发现，喜欢甜食（如饼干和巧克力）的人更愿意帮助其他需要帮助的人，而喜欢吃薯条等非甜食的人则不愿意。可知这个实验的主要目的是为了说明性格和行为与人们的口味有关，故选A。
（3）C 根据 In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non﹣sweet food such as chips weren't.在他们的另一项实验中，科学家们发现，喜欢甜食（如饼干和巧克力）的人更愿意帮助其他需要帮助的人，而喜欢吃薯条等非甜食的人则不愿意。可知爱吃甜食的人更愿意帮助别人。故选C。
17．（8分）Mindlessly checking Facebook makes you an awful lot like a lab mouse continuously pushing a button in order to get a treat.
When you check your phone，your brain gets its own little zing；Someone might be talking about you on Facebook!No？Reload.Maybe your Instagram got a heart!Reload.Reload.
But you're no rat.Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains，if we learn some skills to deal with this problem.
Are Facebook or Twitter "addictions" （瘾） ？Recent scientific research about social media doesn't agree on that term，but evidence that we aren't doing well is present at dinner tables where everyone is staring at screens，and at crosswalks where absent﹣minded people walk into traffic.
I became mindful of my early﹣morning bad habits.Pre﹣coffee，half awake，I'd lie there for an hour with my phone.So I called up psychologists，brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.
Surprisingly，they didn't tell me to immediately stop，but instead，they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.
Limit Triggers （诱因）
Our brains are made to quickly eat up information.So why let social﹣media companies decide when to attract you？Turn off app notifications on your phone and computer，especially for live video broadcasts.They are designed to create the fear of missing out.
Avoid Quicksand （流沙，陷阱）
When you're on Facebook，it is easy to read one article，then another.Nir Eyal，author of the 2014 book "Hooked" says he forces himself not to read anything right away.Instead，he saves articles to a service called Pocket，which reads them aloud while he's at the gym.
We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work.Our brains need a chance to be empty.Research suggests the best way to help your brain focus is exercise，even for a short period.Staring into space would be better than refreshing Facebook.
Make New Norms
Not that long ago，you could be fired for not paying attention during a meeting or class；now，many openly use their phones or laptops.Bosses could set a better work culture by providing charging stations at meetings where everyone could leave their phones，then focus on the discussion at hand.Mr.Eyal suggests you try shaming friends who have bad habits﹣ if you do it politely.If someone is not listening to you at dinner，ask， "Is everything OK？" The answer might start an important conversation.
Tech Should Help
The social﹣media industry has a responsibility here，too.Since companies usually know exactly how much time users spend on their apps，they should offer help to people who have problem behavior.And for the rest of us，let's encourage app makers to make their products more helpful，not more demanding of our time.
（1）What does the underlined word "hijack" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ C
A.Wash.
B.Hurt.
C.Control.
D.Empty.
（2）Why does Mr.Eyal save articles to Pocket？ D
A.To rest his tired brain.
B.To refresh his Facebook immediately.
C.To get more time to exercise.
D.To avoid being attracted by social media.
（3）What is the best title of this passage？
A.Take a break from busy life.
B.Free your brain from social media.
C.Separate social life from your work.
D.Keep your life away from apps.
（4）What can we infer from the passage？ C
A.The social﹣media industry should make more app products.
B.People with problem behavior should ask brain scientists for help.
C.We should decide when to connect to social media by ourselves.
D.A company with charging stations must have a better work culture.
【解答】（1）C 词义猜测题。根据上文When you check your phone，your brain gets its own little zing；Someone might be talking about you on Facebook！No？Reload.Maybe your Instagram got a heart！Reload.Reload.可知：当你检查手机时，你的大脑会有点兴奋。有人可能在Facebook上谈论你！没有？重新加载。可能会你的照片分享会得到一颗心！重新加载。结合文中Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains...可知这里应该是指：程序"控制"你的大脑。故选：C。
（2）D 细节理解题。根据Instead，he saves articles to a service called Pocket，which reads them aloud while he's at the gym.We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work.Our brains need a chance to be empty.可知：把文章保存到一种叫Pocket的服务，以免受到社交媒体的打扰。故选：D。
（3）B 标题归纳题。根据文中几个小标题Limit Triggers，Avoid Quicksand，Make New Norms，Tech Should Help可以推断出，本文最好的标题是：把你的大脑从社交媒体中解放出来。故选：B。
（4）C 推理判断题。根据 I became mindful of my early﹣morning bad habits.Pre﹣coffee，half awake，I'd lie there for an hour with my phone.So I called up psychologists，brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.我开始注意我清晨的坏习惯。喝咖啡前，半睡半醒，我会在那里躺上一个小时，拿着手机。所以我打电话给心理学家、脑科学家和应用程序设计师，征求他们对我有什么实际帮助的建议。Surprisingly，they didn't tell me to immediately stop，but instead，they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.令人惊讶的是，他们没有告诉我立即停止，而是告诉我，我需要管理社交媒体的技能，这是我生活的一部分。可以推断出：我们应该自己决定什么时候接触社交媒体。故选：C。
