“Where there is a will, there is a way.” Perhaps not many students can understand this better than 22-year-old Michael Ha. Because of his story of success, he has become an example of young people.
Michael Ha was born in a very poor family. His parents worked in Vietnam before they moved to Britain in 1980. They couldn’t find work in Britain because they spoke little English. The whole family had to live on benefits(救济金) and they lived in a small house in Hackney, a poor area in East London. Growing up is not easy for Michael, but he never gave up.
At the age of ten, he set his heart on going to Cambridge University. It was not easy, either. Michael studied at a school, which used to be called “the worst school in Britain”. However, young Michael made his mind to try his best, no matter what kind of school he was studying at. The smart boy studied very hard and did well in every subject at school. Once he made a bet with his friend to learn further math. As a result, after just spending four months teaching himself from a textbook, he got an A in AS-level further math.
Now Michael is the star medical student in John’s College, Cambridge and has just won an award for his excellent grades. He hopes he will be an inspiration for other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
When was Michael born？

Where did Michael’s parents work before 1980?

what does Michael learn about in Cambridge University ?

which of the following is TURE?

what is the best title of the passage?

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turn around and ,sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “ six sense” really exists,  Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理学家） at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting.  The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
What’s the aim of the two experiments for?

What does parapsychologists say that humans have to sense?

The underlined word” outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means______.

In the second experiment, the subjects           .

A pictogram is a symbol which represents an idea            an object through an image(图像). Also, it is a kind of communication system which must be learned but is very useful in our lives. The used must learn to see,           and remember the different pictogram symbols. There are 1.400 different symbols            the present time. A Canadian named Subhas Maharaj came up with the idea for pictograms in the beginning of the 1980s. at first, pictograms were introduced to help people           had disabilities in speaking ,reading, or writing.  Pictograms are images of objects that are            to see and create.

In classes, your teachers will talk about topic that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are the three stages (阶段)of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class   Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered.  Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class   Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are “the most important point…..” and “ remember that…….” Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations
(缩写) such as med for medicine, using symbols such as ％ for percent，and writing short sentences.
3. After Class    Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(准确) by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.
