1．As I was walking around Residential care this afternoon，I heard a lot of shouting and crying coming from one of the rooms.I had actually tried to connect with this little lady a few weeks ago but she can't speak English and has dementia （老年癡呆癥）.A caregiver was in with her and speaking but the lady wasn't responding.
I took the lady into the bathroom and she was crying and looking in the mirror.To calm her down I started to brush her hair，it was all wet.The caregiver left and I grabbed a small towel（毛巾） and dried her hair as well as gently rubbing her head.She just kept crying and was terribly upset.So I wrapped my arms around her，rubbed her back and hugged her.At the same time，I was talking very quietly to her and rocking her.
She sobbed（嗚咽） in my arms.When she calmed down I sat with her and then，as she was Italian I kissed both cheeks and her hands.She then returned that gesture to me.I said goodbye in Italian and she was happy.Her pain had been heart-breaking.All she really needed was a big loving hug and comfort.It must be terrible to live in a world that is so strange to her.I left feeling her love and I know she felt my love.This has to be one the most beautiful connections I have ever known.

2．It's cold and dark outside，and your bed is so warm and comfortable．Going for a run seems like such a bad idea．But before you hide your running shoes，it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go．
According to The Huffington Post，an outdoor run in winter，as opposed to one on a treadmill（跑步機(jī)），burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate（調(diào)節(jié)）its core temperature．Furthermore，research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories．Similarly，cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body，making that vital muscle even stronger．
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day．The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster，but cold weather is refreshing．It adjusts you to your surroundings，making you feel alive．
Of course，the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise．Heart attacks，strokes，lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog．The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems．If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days，take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾氣），and go early in the morning，before rush hour．But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best．
（1）How does cold weather benefit runners，compared with warm weather？
A．They can run more slowly．
B．They can take in more calories．
C．Their hearts can function harder．
D．Their body temperature can get lower．
（2）How does summer affect runners？
A．It builds up their energy quickly．
B．It makes runners tired easily．
C．It lessens runners' stress．
D．It causes heart attacks．
（3）What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days？
A．Stop driving cars．
B．Do more exercise．
C．Avoid outdoor exercise．
D．Run late in the morning．
（4）What can be the best title of the passage？
A．Refresh with a Winter Run
B．Take Outdoor Exercise in Summer
C．Go to Run in a Park
D．Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress組卷：2引用：5難度：0.6 -
3．A man enters a store to buy milk.He walks out of the store with milk.That is all—milk.At the same time，a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk.She buys it.But，she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night.She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece.And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store.Generally speaking，men do one thing at a time.Women do many.Doing many things at one time is often called "multi-tasking"，a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains.A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old.They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain，or hemisphere.In the female brain，they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain.The left side of the brain is known as the side of "reason".The right hemisphere is known as the "creative" side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.She co-wrote the report.She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain.But men generally use just one.
As a result，men generally deal directly with a problem.There is a strong connection between the "understanding" and the "action" parts of their brains.Women，however，might include other parts of the brain，like the part connected with "reason" and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem.Women take a less direct path to find a solution.
Thanks for your listening.I'm your announcer Anna Matteo.

A．a(chǎn)re more hard-working than men
B．a(chǎn)re more multi-tasking than men
C．a(chǎn)re more careful than men

（2）When asked to do something complicated，men.
A．only use the "reason" side of the brain
B．only use the "creative" side of the brain
C．use different parts of the brain
D．use one part of the brain
（3）The main purpose of the passage is to tell us.
A．that men and women really think differently
B．who want to go shopping more，men or women
C．why women want to do many things at one time
D．that men and women all like to drink milk組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

8．短文改錯
It is clear shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students surveying have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight too.And a larger percentage lacks sleep.52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students won't obey our parents or teachers.Personally，I think we student should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body，one can't achieve anything.However，too much attention has been paid only on studies.As a result，I think we should be gave less homework or more time for out-of-classroom activities.Only in this way can we live a happy and healthy life.組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5
