It just hadn't been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam's father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam's mother announced that the rent（房租）on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.

Sam knew Rosa from Adventure（冒险）Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa's party, but he didn't want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn't ask Mom or Dad for any money-not this week!

Although it's said Van Gogh（梵高）（1853﹣1890）sold only one painting during his lifetime，different theories（理论）exist（存在）.

It is true that The Red Vineyard is the only painting sold during Van Gogh's lifetime，and that was officially（官方地）recorded and accepted by the art world.It's recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27，and died at 37.His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888，only two years before he died.So it would be clear that he did not sell many.

However，others disagree.The leading Van Gogh scholar（学者），Marc，is one of them.Though the story that Van Gogh sold just one painting still goes around，he insists（坚持说）that Van Gogh sold at least two.

Also，according to the Van Gogh Museum website，Van Gogh actually sold a number of paintings for living during his lifetime.His first money came from his uncle，who was an art dealer（经销商）.In order to help Van Gogh's career（事业），he ordered 19 paintings.And Van Gogh himself would often trade his paintings for food or art supplies（美术用品）when he was younger.

V died in July of 1890.His brother was a wise dealer and saved lots of paintings by Van Gogh.His greatest wish was to make the works more widely known and make much money.Sadly he himself died just six months later.He left a large collection of art to his wife，who "sold some of Van Gogh's works，lent as many as she could to exhibitions，and published（出版）many of Van Gogh's letters to his brother.Without her，Van Gogh would never have become as famous as he is today." After her death，her son founded the Van Gogh Museum.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，do people remember less？if you know your computer will store information，why do you store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

    In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments（实验）.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.

    In the first experiment，they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store it.Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.

    In the second experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder（文件夹）.Surprisingly，people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information.However，they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive memory （交互记忆）".

    According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead，computer users are developing stronger transitive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

（1）Why does the writer begin the text with two questions？

D.Group 2 remembered the information better.

（3）What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment？ 　 　

A.People organize the information like a computer.

B.People remember how to find the information.

C.People remember how to make a folder.

D.People keep the information in mind.

（4）What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion（结论）？ 　 　

A.People become more and more clever.

B.The way people use memory is changing.

C.The way people make experiments is changing.

D.People's memories become poorer than before.

What time does your school start？Do you wish you could get up later every morning？You are not alone if your answer is "Yes." In the US，many middle school students have the same wish.

   In America，many schools start before 7：30 am.But that may change soon.A new law has been passed in California.According to the law，middle schools should not start before 8：00 am.The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.

   Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening.Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn't work well.Most of them don't get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time.They need more sleep in the morning.Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8：00 am.or later.Students can get well ready to learn and they won't fall asleep in class.______The change can help improve students' grades.

   While scientists are happy with the new law，many parents disagree with it.They won't be able to send their children to school before they go to work.They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time.As a result，their children will have less time to take part in after﹣school activities.

We see humans all around us.But when was the first human seen？Early humans did not leave behind any written records.However，they left behind many paintings on the walls of the caves（洞穴）where they lived.These paintings tell about their life，and we know these early humans walked on four limbs（四肢）like apes（猿）.Also，they did not live at one place but moved from place to place in search of food and water.

Without any tools，early humans used stones，bones of animals，and sharp pieces of wood to dig，hunt and cut their food.They also used these to protect themselves from animals.Since stones were used to make tools，this age was called Stone Age.

With time going，tools made of bones and stones were replaced with metal（金属的）ones which were stronger，sharper，and long﹣lasting.Metals were also used for farming and making knives.Copper（铜）was the first metal to be used.

The first fire that early humans noticed was natural fire caused by lightning（闪电）.With fire，early humans could light up dark caves.They could keep themselves warm during cold weather and cook meat.Also the fire could drive animals away.

Early humans noticed new trees growing from the seeds（种子）that fell to the ground from the fruits.This gave them the idea that they could make their own food by planting seeds，which led to farming.With the beginning of farming，early humans began to settle down（定居）.They moved out of the caves and lived on farms and near their fields together，then the first villages came up.

Raising animals was a big event in human history that changed the life of early humans.The wild dogs were probably the first animal to be raised.As time went，goats，sheep，cows，donkeys，and horses were kept，too.This led to herding（畜牧业）.Milk，meat and wool came from these animals.

But how would I map my way？I knew that the American singer Ray Charles，also blind，got around on his own without a cane （手杖）.His secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that way.Instead I developed my imagination.sensing the layout （布局）of places I Visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.

"Life's a long，long journey." so we are told，and most of us would not set off on a journey，even a short one，without some ideas of where we wanted to go.Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction.Goal setting is used by top sports players，successful business people and achievers in all fields.Before you set personal goals，think about what you want to achieve with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories （类别）：

Education - Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school？Are you still growing and learning？

Family - What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members？

Creative - Do you want to achieve any artistic goals？

Career - What job do you want to take when you grow up？What do you need to make your dream come true？

Public Service - Do you want to make the world a better place？

It seems that food deliverymen （送货员） are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute，and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue，red or yellow helmets （头盔） and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.

What makes deliverymen take such risks？The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine （罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time，reported China Daily.Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.
