Harry and Annie lived far from town, but they went there to school every day. On their way to school, there was a
pond. In winter when the ice was thick and hard, they walked across the pond. But their mother did not like them to do this
because it could be dangerous . “Don't go across the pond today.” She said while she was kissing them goodbye one
3 / 10morning. “It is beginning to thaw.
“All right, mother,” said Harry, not very happily because he enjoyed running and sliding on the ice. When they came
to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe. Harry said to his sister. “I knew it didn't thaw at all. Mother is always afraid we
will drown. Come on, let’s have a good time sliding. The school bell will not ring for an hour.”
" But you promised mother," said Annie.
"No, I didn't. I only said. ‘ All right, ‘ and it is all right."
" And I didn't say anything. So I can do as I like," said Annie.
So they stepped on the ice and started to go across the pond. They did not go far when the ice broke, and they fell into
the water.
A man who was at work nearby saw them and jumped into the water to save them. Harry got out of the ice water

I Will Think of It
"I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We cannot see
our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, and yet they have great power.
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to
think. While tying Lo find out why the apple fell, he discovered how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.
When a boy named James Walt watched the lid of the tea kettle moving up and down, he began to think. He wanted to find
out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time. he went out thinking and thinking, and when he
became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could do the work of many horses easily.
A young man named Galileo was once standing in a big hall when he saw a chandelier moving back and forth. This set
him thinking, and it led to the invention of the pendulum.
James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he started
to wonder. “I should make a clock,” he thought. But how could he get what he needed to make the clock? He thought
4 / 10and thought. Then he found out be could make the mainspring out of a piece of whalebone. Soon he made a wooden clock.
When he became a man, he went to London to live and made a lot of speeches there. Some of the smarted men in England
listened to his speeches, his motto was, “I will think of it,” and he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
When you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged. Think; and by thinking you will learn how to think to
some purpose.

Now few businesses can run without computers. School even offer lessons for their students to learn to write on
computers. But what are we giving up am handwriting loses in importance in society?
Researchers from Princeton University studied two group of students. One group wrote out their notes in class while
the other typed them with a computer. In order to show the differences between the two groups, researchers tested both
groups of students 30 minutes after a lesson, and again a week later.
The results showed that both group did well in the first lest. But students with the handwritten notes were able to better
remember and understand the lesson a week later, and were more open to new ideas
According to the lead researcher. “Our findings suggest that even when computers are used as planned, they may still
cause harm to your learning.”
Part of the reason for this is that notetakers using pen and paper could understand the lesson better and put what they
heard in their own words Those taking notes on a computer typed faster, but they always tried to type every word exactly as
they heard it, so they didn't really pay enough attention to the content of the lesson. That's the problem Students chose to
take notes with a computer because it could help them take notes faster, but it undermined learning.
5 / 10Computers aren't going away anytime so0n, but that doesn't mean paper notebooks need to become out-of-date. In fact,
its best to start using them at an early age. University of Indiana researchers compared brain scans of five-year-olds. Some
of them practised writing letters down and some just looked at the letters Those who wrote out the letters had better and
even " adult-like' brain activity.
So next time when you need to take notes, why not chose a pen and paper over a keyboard? It will do wonders for your
memory.
30. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us
A how difficult the teste were B what the research showed us
C. when the research finished D. why students needed the tests
31. The underlined words undermined learning probably mean "_"
A helped to learn B. made learning fun
C harmed learning D. made learning natural
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It took both groups of students 30 mimtes to finish the first test.
B. Looking at the letters help five-year-olds have better brain activity.
C. Student taking notes on a computer could type every word exactly,
D. Students with the handwritten notes did better in the lest a week later.
33. The writer probably agrees that ________ .
A. handwriting makes people smarter
B. it’s better to take notes on computer
C. handwriting is going away from class soon
D. it’s difficult to use paper notes at an early age
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10分，每小题 2分)
Around the world, about 450 million people are living with a mental (心理的) health problem right now. However,
few people would like to talk about any mental health problem they have because they think it is a shame (羞耻).
To bring attention to mental health problems and help people to solve those problems, World Mental Health (WMH)
Day was first celebrated in 1992. Now，more and more people celebrate WMH Day on 10th October.
It is important for us to look alter our own mental health. Do you know how good exercise is for mental health? Doing
exercise and spending time in nature can really help to deal with worries and depression (沮丧). So why not go for a walk in
a park or the countryside?
Your diet can also change how you feel. If you eat candies, cake, chocolate, etc. , your blood sugar will rise and fall,
making you feel angry and tired. Make sure you eat enough vegetables and fruit, and you may feel good. I's also important
to drink enough water-being thirsty (口渴) can make it difficult to think clearly
Also, it's good to spend time with other people. Talking to others and asking them for support can help to reduce (减
6 / 10少) the shame.
World Mental Health Day encourages us to pay more attention to both our own mental health and other people's.
Anything you do on WMH Day will help us all to better understand and support people with mental health problems.
34. How many people are living with a mental health problem right now?
35. Was World Mental Health Day first celebrated in 1992?
36. Why is it important to drink enough water?
