Then Alice saw a small glass table.There was a little golden key on it.She picked it up and put it all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them.She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door,a very small one.She put the key in the lock.It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it.At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden.It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.

    "Oh,how beautiful!" she said."I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door."

    She walked back to the table.There was a bottle on it now.

    "I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before,"she said ,a little confused.

    She put down the key and picked up the bottle.She read the words "DRINK ME"on it.Alice wasn't a stupid girl.She didn't drink it immediately.First she looked at the bottle carefully.There wasn' t a label on it that said" POISON".

    So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.

    "Mmm, it's nice,"she said.It tasted like cherry tart,pineapple,roast turkey and toast﹣all the things that she liked to eat﹣so she drank some more.And some more.Soon the bottle was empty.

    "What a curious feeling,"she said."I'm getting smaller and smaller."It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.

    "Good! I can go through the door into the garden,"she said.But,poor Alice! When she got to the door,she didn't have the key! It was on the table.She couldn' t reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.

   After a while she said, "Alice!Stop crying. Crying doesn't help. Dry your tears immediately! "

   When she looked at the table again,she saw a small glass box under it.She picked it up and opened it.There was a small cake inside.It had the words"EAT ME"on it.She put a small piece of it in her mouth.

It's a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The British are all working in their gardens. They're digging, cutting leaves and planting new seeds(种子). By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colours.

   The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Around 70% of the people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over 50% of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.

In the early twentieth century, however, gardening became a hobby. People bought different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they originally(起初) grew wild in other countries.

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?

"I've always had a pretty clear idea of what I want to do." says Mary, a middle school student who wants to become a director some day. You may not be as sure of your career (职业) as Mary. But you can start thinking about and planning for your future career.

    The following article helps middle school students plan for careers.

    Understanding what you enjoy and what you're good at is the most important step in exploring careers. If you don't know what you want to do, you should ask yourself what you like to learn about. If you really like science, what do you enjoy about it ﹣ the lab work or the research? It's important to think about what you like to dobecause work will finally be a big part of your life

    Once you've thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a P.E. teacher or a soccer coach. If you like English, a career as an English teacher, a translator or a travelling guide might be a good choice.

          

    After discovering possible jobs, you'll want to learn more about them.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

(1)What is the passage mainly about?    

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

B.How the terracotta army was colored.

C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.

(2)What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to?

Mom said, " ①have,we,Hally,help,to(. )"Help her how?" asked Sam.

Do you remember when we went to pick up Hally from her litter?We picked her because she looked like her mom.She is brown with spots,with long ears,and she was energetic,so we thought she'd be strong,like her mom.But how does she look now?" Mom asked.

"Well," thought Sam, "She' s still brown with spots and long ears,but she' s not very energetic or strong anymore. "

"That's what the vet said,too.We haven't been letting her exercise as much,and we've been feeding her a lot.She would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked her more. ② We have to start walking her more often.And then she'll stay healthy for a long time.Will you help?"

"Sure!" said Sam.He decided that he could play fetch with her every day in the yard,because then she could run and run and run until she was tired.

The first day,they only played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired.But Sam kept playing with her every day.Soon,they could play for an entire half an hour!Hally looked stronger every day,just like her mom.Sam felt great about helping Hally get strong again.
