Not with my hometown but with me. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult: I had a driver’s license. So here I was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recognition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I’m thirsty. Let’s go for a beer.” It was the first time I’d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.‎ ‎ He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer? Well I guess you’re old enough now. Let’s go to Sailors’ Bar. It’s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?”‎ ‎ I had only some vague recollection of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family. We didn’t talk about him much. “What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven’t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar.‎ ‎“Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said sadly. As a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on the condition that he returned home.‎ My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn’t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn’t resist. He was at Sailors’ Bar almost every night. His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after.‎ ‎“What ruined him was alcohol. He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it’ll end. ‘So’, Tom warned me, ‘be aware of your first drink!’‎ ‎“He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sentenced for ten years.”‎ ‎ Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors’ Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let’s go in,” he said. But I understood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I’m not thirsty anymore, Dad. Let’s go home.”‎ ‎21. Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?‎ A. Because he was thirsty. ‎ B. Because he wanted to show he was an adult.‎ C. Because he wanted to impress his father casually. ‎ D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom. ‎ ‎22. What was the main source of Uncle Tom’s problems?‎ A. His overly-strict family. B. His addiction to card games.‎ C. The deaths of his mother and wife. D. His inability to control his drinking.‎ ‎23. What does the yong man mean by referring to Uncle Tom as “ the black sheep of the family”?‎ A. The family was concerned about Tom because he was always in trouble.‎ B. The family showed sympathy to Tom because he was unfortunate.‎ C. The family felt ashamed of Tom because he was a failure.‎ D. The family felt disgusted about him because he was different.‎ ‎24. In the story, the father told his son about Tom in order to ________.‎ A. warn the son to keep away from Tom ‎ B. entertain the son while they walked to the bar C. recall an interesting period in the father's life D. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking ‎ B HIGHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SCHOOL REPORT Form Teacher: G.

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ ‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎29. The passage begins with two questions to ______. ‎ A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Internet. D. explain how to store information ‎30. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A.The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. ‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. ‎ D. The second group did not understand the information.‎ ‎31. In transactive memory, people ______.‎ A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information ‎ C. organize information like a computer ‎ D. remember how to find the information ‎32. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ‎ A. We are using memory differently. ‎ B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C. We have poorer memories than before. ‎ D. We need a better way to access information.‎ D Parents may think they’re smart about where they store medicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.‎ The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(学步者)aren’ t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they’d been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.‎ Most poisonings related to medicines---particularly among babies and toddlers---occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of hand-to-mouth activity, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.‎ The new Safe Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings had declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.‎ Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements(补充品)can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.‎ ‎33. Why are children poisoned according to the text?‎ A. Some of the medicines at home taste nice.‎ B. There is something poisonous in medicines.‎ C. Kids have easy access to medicines at home.‎ D. Kids are curious to explore the environment.‎ ‎34. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Vitamins and supplements can do good to kids.‎ B. The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6.‎ C. It is reported that not many parents surveyed could keep medicines properly.‎ D. Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home.‎ ‎35. What could be the best title for the text?‎ A. Parents’ Casual Behavior Leads to Kids Poisoned B. The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined Lately C. Nearly 60,000 Children Are Poisoned by Medicines D. Kids Are Facing the Risk of Being Poisoned at Home 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Eyes can speak Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.‎ ‎ ___36___ In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.‎ ‎ The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. ___37___ Eyes do speak, right?‎ Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. ___38___ If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refusdes to look away from her,his intensions are obvious. he wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.‎ ‎ However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. ___39___ If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. ___40___‎ ‎ Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.‎ A. On the contrary, it will give him away.‎ B. Do you have such kind of experience?‎ C. That’s what normal eye contact is all about.‎ D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.‎ E. After all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.‎ F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.‎ G.
