When you first meet Meggie, you may think she’s strange. She often tells people which word “tastes” good and who has a “delicious” name. But she’s not crazy. She has synesthesia (伴生感觉), something only one in 2,000 people has.

People who have synesthesia experience the world differently. For some people, different words “taste” differently, for some, numbers or letters have colors, and for some, music “touches” parts of their bodies. Many of them experience more than one kind of synesthesia, while some have just one, like Meggie.

Each of them has their own experience- two people with synesthesia may both “feel” music, but they almost never feel the music in the same way. For example, one may feel the music of the violin lightly brushing his face; the other may feel it on her ankle (脚踝). And one’s experience of synesthesia is always the same. If they see the number 5 in the color blue, then 5 is blue every time they see it.

There’s one thing about synesthesia: it can’t be “turned off”. If you have synesthesia, you’ll experience it all the time. Meggie once met a guy and his name made her think of the taste of bad eggs. He was a fun guy, but after thinking about his name all night, she felt too sick to be friends with him. Even so, she still likes this “gift” because that’s what makes her different.

1. What do you learn about Meggie from the first paragraph?

A．	She has a strange name.	B．	She is a good person.
C．	She is a crazy person.	D．	She is special in a way.

2. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A．	People with synesthesia experience the world differently.
B．	For some people with synesthesia, different words “taste” differently.
C．	For some people with synesthesia, numbers or letters have colors.
D．	Many people with synesthesia experience more than one kind of it.

3. What did Meggie stop being friends with the guy?

A．	He often played jokes on her.	B．	He enjoys eating bad eggs.
C．	She couldn’t stand his name.	D．	She did not like his gift.

4. Which of the following might be said by Meggie?

A．	“The sound of drums touches my back.”
B．	“The number zero tastes like an apple.”
C．	“The name Shakespeare is in bright purple.”
D．	“The music of the violin lightly brushes my face.”

As we all know, too much trashis a big problem for our environment. A woman in Indonesia’s Java island has come up with a great idea —lending books to children in exchange for trash.

Raden Roro Hendarti, nearly 50 years old, is a librarian in Muntang village. She started a “trash library”, hoping to make children read more as well as make them realize the importance of environment protection. Each weekday, Raden puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village. There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden’s mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash.

In the library where Raden works, there are thousands of books. Every time she shows up, children run to her “trash library”. They all carry trash bags, and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills with trash as the books fly out. Raden collects about 100kg of trash each week. It is then sorted out (分类) and sent for recycling or sale. She is happy that children spend less time on online games because of the books.

Raden plans to take the mobile library service to neighboring areas as well. She says, “We all should take care of our trash in order to fight climate (气候) change and save the earth.”

1. What does the underlined word “trash” mean?

A．

plastic

rubbish

paper

D．

information

2. Which of the following shows how Raden’s idea works?

①She rides to Muntang village.② She carries back all the trash.

④ She puts books on her three-wheeler.

A．	④→①→③→②	B．	④→①→②→③
C．	①→③→④→②	D．	①→②→③→④

3. How much trash can Raden collect each weekday?

A．

About 100 kg.

B．

About 50 kg.

About 25 kg.

About 20 kg.
