When she was just 9 years old， Katie Stagliano planted a cabbage seed（卷心菜种子） in a garden outside her house． She cared for it every day by watering it， weeding it and giving it plant food． It grew to be HUGE! Forty pounds huge!

    When she arrived to make her donation， she saw a long line of people waiting for food． Then， Katie served her cabbage to the guest． As the many people thanked her， she knew she could and should do more to help．

    With the help of her parents and school， Katie's Krops was born! Katie's Krops plants gardens to grow food that is donated to local soup kitchens to feed the hungry．

Researchers in the 1960s found bilingual （双语的）people scored higher on intelligence （智力）tests than monolinguals﹣﹣people who speak only one language． The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer， but it probably does make you better at certain skills．

    Imagine driving down the highway． There're many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them． Why would bilingualism make you any better at that？

    The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention﹣a function （功能）called the executive control system． It's quite possibly the most important system we have because it's where all of your decisions about what to attend to， what to ignore（忽视），what to process are made．

    The best method to measure（测量） the executive control system is called the Stroop Test． Suppose you would have the word "blue" written in red， but you have to say the colour red． But "blue" is so eye﹣ catching， and you really want to say"blue"． You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red． That's the Stroop Test．

    Bilingual people continually practice this function． They have to， because both languages are active in their brain at the same time． They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other． This exercise might help in other ways， too． Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have friends from different cultures． Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer's disease．

（1）What did the recent research find about bilingual people？　　

A． They can safely drive their cars．

B． They can well manage their attention．

C． They can have a better control of imagination．

D． They can easily pick out the colours they want．

（2）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to？　　

A． Red．

B． Blue．

C． Test．

D． System．

（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？　　

A． Bilingualism may do harm to people's health．

B． Bilingualism helps children make more foreign friends．

C． People must practice speaking two languages continually．

D． People use more active words from their mother languages．

（4）What might be the best title for the text？　　

A． How does the Stroop Test work？

B． What is executive control system？

C． Are monolingual people smarter？

D． Are bilingual people better at some skills？

It seems that food deliverymen（送货员） are always in a hurry． They wear blue， red or yellow helmets and many of them don't follow traffic rules． （1）　　 They use mobile phones while driving．

    These rude behaviors have caught the public's attention． In the first half of 2017， food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai， according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau． That means every two and a half days， a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road．

    （2）　　 The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer． Many companies will fine（罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan， if he fails to deliver an order on time， reported China Daily． （3）　　

    To solve the problem， food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems， noted CRI Online． （4）　　Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety． Now in Shenzhen， if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice， then he will be banned（禁止） from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year．

A． Some cities are also taking action．

B． What are the strict rules used for？

C． What makes deliverymen take such risks？

D． Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers．

E． They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights．

Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future． It may seem that you're wasting your life away． But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day． Three people were asked what they found useful at school， and their thoughts are shared below．

    When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something， she often said， I don't know． Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up． She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer． I learnt two things． You don't have to know _______； and if you don't know how to spell something， just get the dictionary out． Both are very useful lessons!

                                                                                                          Bicester， United Kingdom

    In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．

                                                                                                                         Lindsey Smith

                                                                                                                    Boston， United states

     We had a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life． I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention． One day the teacher made us guess which appliance（家电）

we should buy first once we had our own homes． The answer was a fridge． I learnt that it was true once I had my own place． The first day I bought some chicken meat． By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't

even eat it! My housemate and I started saving to buy a fridge right away．
