Your body is special﹣no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.
What is inside my head?
Your head houses the most valuable part of your body﹣your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and make sure your body is doing what it should.
What is my skin for?
Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses(病毒)from entering your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.
How do I move?
Muscles(肌肉)are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you a lot﹣whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.
Why do I breathe?
Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.
What does my heart do?
Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist(拳头)and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body.
46. Which part of your body helps you to remember and think?
A. Head.
B. Heart.
C. Skin.
47. The underlined word "houses" in the passage probably means .
A. creates

48. If you have no skin covering your body, what would happen?
A. Our body can be guarded by our hair.
B. Viruses can't enter our body easily.
C. We can't feel the changes in temperature.
49. What is true fact about your body?
A. Your heart is not the same size from birth.
B. We take in carbon dioxide to stay alive.
C. Our muscles stop working when we nod.
50. Which is the best title for this passage?

Zombies(僵尸) are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk. They walk slowly, with their heads down and they will not look at you. They are living in a different world, a world of the mobile phone!
Many people are complaining(抱怨) about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly, making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk. Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem. They've divided up sidewalks into lanes(线路):one lane for mobile﹣zombies and one lane for everyone else. The experiment hasn't worked out too well, since most mobile﹣zombies don't even notice the lanes.
I have another suggestion for the problem. In Shanghai, we have blind paths. They are made of small raised tiles(凸起的瓷砖)that help blind people follow a straight line. Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile﹣zombies. A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line. Of course, I have a further suggestion. At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile﹣zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!
Well, I don't think my suggestion is going to be taken, but I don't think special lanes for mobile﹣zombies will work, either. I think it's just a better idea to remind(提醒) people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones.

A. The people who always look here and there on the road.
B. The people who always play with mobile phones on the road.
C. The people who hate using mobile phones when they are walking on the road.
(2)Why has not the lane for mobile﹣zombies in Chongqing worked out well?
A. Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes.
B. Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing.
C. Because few mobile﹣zombies notice the lanes in fact.
(3)The underlined word "rough" in Paragraph 3means " " in Chinese.
A. 粗糙的
B. 光滑的
C. 漂亮的
(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile﹣zombies.
B. The writer's suggestion for the mobile﹣zombies was taken.
C. Mobile﹣zombies should think of others on the road.
(5)The passage may come from .
A. a story
B. a newspaper
C. a notice

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the poor to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elder, short man, whose hair was disorder. He was wearing an old hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We carefully began a conversation and spoke about a lot of things. We never introduced ourselves. I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, "May I get you something?"
"A coffee would be nice."
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and went to the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, "How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?"
"Who?"
"The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."
I could hardly believe it. I was talking, buying coffee, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
