A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk, That’s all-- milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same store and also buys milk. Besides, she buys chicken to make dinner that night. Then she gets coffee for breakfast and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called multi-tasking a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has proved what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Last year, some scientists studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old They found that male brains have more connections only on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain The left side of the brain is known as the side of ―reason‖. The right one is known as the ―creative‖ side.
Regina Verma, a professor in the brain study, says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.
As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. In fact, there is a strong connection between the ―understandings and the ―action‖ parts of men’s brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (敏感性) when solving a problem. They take a less direct path to find a solution. 21. In paragraph 1, the writer is trying to____ .
A. introduce the topic of the passage B. describe how shopping is going on C. compare behaviors of men and women D. tell us that women buy more than men 22. What’s the finding of the study?
A. Women can find a solution to a problem directly. B. Men use different parts of the brains to solve a problem.

At the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, the sport of canoe racing was added to the list of international competitions. The favorite team in the four-man canoe race was the Unites States team. One member of that team was Bill Havens.
As the time for the Olympics neared, it became clear that Bill’s wife would give birth to their first child about the time that the US team would be competing in the Paris games. In 1924, there were no jet airliners from Paris to the Unites States, only slow ocean-going ships. Bill found himself in a dilemma. Should he go to Paris and risk not being at his wife’s side when their baby was born? Or should he stay with his family?
Bill’s wife insisted that he go to Paris. But after much soul searching, Bill decided to stay at home, where he could support his wife when the child arrived. As it turned out , the Unites States four-man canoe team won the gold medal in Paris. And Bill’s wife was late in giving birth to their child. In fact, Bill could have competed in the event and returned home in time to be with her when she gave birth. People said ,‖ what a shame!‖
The child finally born to Bill and his wife was a boy, whom they named Frank. Twenty-eight years later, in 1952, Bill received a telegram from Frank. It was sent from Helsinki, Finland, where the 1952 Olympics were being held. The telegram read, ―Dad, I won. I am bringing home the gold medal you lost while waiting for me to be born.‖ Frank had just won the gold medal for the Unites States in a rowing event, a medal his father had dreamed of winning but never did. When people asked Bill about his decision he made twenty-eight years ago, he said he would make the same choice if he was in such a situation again. 24. If we say some is in a dilemma, we probably mean he/she _____.
A. lives a very hard life B. has to make a difficult choice C. has to give up all that he/she has D. doesn’t know what he/she wants 25. From Paragraph3 we know Bill’s wife ____.
A. knew the baby would be born late B. knew what her husband really wanted
C. wanted to support her husband to win the gold medal. D. was not understanding enough to support her husband 26. What is the main reason why people said‖ what a shame!‖？ A. Bill didn’t give his wife any support at home. B. Bill’s decision caused the team to perform badly. C. Bill didn’t know what was more important to him.
D. Bill could have returned home with the gold medal in time. 27. After reading the passage, we infer that ____

C
During a recent phone interview with a mom who had just moved to Colorado, the conversation turned to disaster planning.‖ I am standing here looking out of the window at the smoke from wildfires,‖ she told me, ―and have absolutely no idea what we will do if the wind shifts our way.‖ Fortunately, the fire was put out, saving her home.
Making a disaster plan isn’t something anyone does for fun. But being caught without one in a time of need is worse. Emergency management officials say too few families have a disaster plan ,even in areas that have been

hit hard by hurricanes or flooding.
I have prepared food, water, flashlights, candles, a battery-powered radio and firewood since our family was hit years ago by a hurricane that blocked off streets and knocked out our power for more than a week. Still we lack the medications, emergency contacts, and emergency-meeting and pet-care plans we should also have .Officials in my state of Oregon have warned us that one of us is really ready for the major disaster which is very likely to hit here---- a big earthquake.
Working parents need to coordinate(协调)their disaster plans with their children’s schools or child-care centers. Many parents in the 2003 New York blackout（断电）weren’t able to get home to their children because public traffic was stopped and lights were out. After that, many parents made detailed plans with child-care providers about where to meet in emergencies, an whom to contact if unable to reach each other.
Good emergency planning and training helped teachers at a child-care center in the World Trade Center successfully move children to a safe place during the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Do you have an emergency plan for your home? If not, you know what to do. 28. According to the first paragraph , the mom_____.
A. lived alone in her home. B. didn’t have a disaster plan
C. never thought her house would catch fire D. was not frightened in front of the wildfires 29. What can we infer from what emergency management officials said in Paragraph2? A. Few people have fully realized the importance of making disaster plans. B. The state of Oregon has been ready for a possible earthquake. C. Hurricanes and flooding cause people to make disaster plans. D. Many people consider making a disaster plan is fun. 30. We can infer that the 2003 New York blackout _____. A. was not serious enough to attract parents’ attention B. showed how careful the teachers had always been
C. made parents realize the importance of having a disaster plan D. helped parents know the importance of teachers to their children 31. The fifth paragraph is mainly written to tell us that_____.
A. some people have disaster plans B. children may be in danger any time C. a good disaster plan can be helpful D. child-care centers are not that safe
D. Treasure hunts （寻宝）have excited people’s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island .Kit Williams ,a modern writer ,had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues （线索）found in a book when he wrote a children’s story Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare ,and a month before it came out, Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire .The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare ,but Williams put in a lot of ―red herrings ‖,or false clues ,to mislead them.
Ken Roberts ,the man who found the hare ,had been looking for it for nearly two years .Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time ,he found it by logic （逻辑）,not by luck .His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start .He had realized that the words :―One of Six to Eight‖ under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon ,the first of Henry VIII’s six wives. Even here ,however ,Williams had succeeded in misleading him .Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there .He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill ,in Befordshire and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well ,but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon ,until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.

Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there .Williams encouraged him to continue ,and on February 24th 1982 ,he found the treasure. It was worth ￡ 3000 in the beginning ,but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable . 32．The underlined word ―them‖（paragraph1）refers to . A．red herrings B．treasure hunts C．Henry VIII’s six wives D．readers of Masquerade
33．What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare ?

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. __36 So you may start talking about money when our child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys , for example. 1.The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). _37 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money. 2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 38 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain,‖ You have enough toy trucks for now.‖ Or, if the request is for many different things, say, ―you have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.‖ 3. 39
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product-a name-brand butter and a generic（无商标产品）,for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 40 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase（购买）with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases. A. Wise decisions B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can –--or cannot---have certain things
E. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
F. The best time to teach a child any thing about money is when he shows an interest.
