Pyramid Surprise
,
Nellie and I were born only a few days apart so every year we plan a birthday party together. This year,
our birthday theme was “Discover the Pyramids”.
“What about inviting Mary?” Nellie asked.
Mary was a loner, and hadn’t made many friends, but she was better at math Pyramid than anyone else in
class.
“Hmm, she wears the same old trousers every day. How could she even afford a party dress?”
After school the next day, Nellie handed me a box. “What’s that?” I asked.
“My birthday gift from my aunt. I thought it would be nice to give this to Mary, “Nellie said.
I opened the box. Inside was a gift certificate (礼品券) for our favourite clothing store.
第4页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司“Wow,” I gasped. We both knew how many cute clothes that would buy.
“So, are we going to just hand it to her?”
“How embarrassing (尴尬的) that would be!” Nellie answered.
She was right. Mary would be totally embarrassed if we gave her money for clothes.
“What if we ask our teacher…”
“Wait a second. I have an idea.” Nellie said.
“What? What?”
“I’m not going to tell you!”
On the day of our party, Mary arrived, with—no surprise—the very old brown trousers.
We sang, danced and ate biscuits. “And now for the big prize game, “Nellie said. Big prize?
My mouth dropped. This was not in the plan.
“The big prize game is like this: Tom and Sam were building pyramids… If their pyramids had to be 60 feet
high, who would finish first?”
A math game. Of course! Nellie winked (眨眼示意) at me. No one was surprised when Mary came up with the
answer before anyone else and walked off with the box.
The next week, Mary wore a new pair of trousers, and even a new dress. The whole time she had a big smile on
her face.
And so did we.
24. Whose birthday party was it?
A. Mary’s. B. Nellie and the writer’s. C. Nellie’s aunt’s. D. Tom and Sam’s.
25. How did Nellie try to help Mary?
A. By giving her the gift directly. B. By asking the teacher for help.
C. By setting up a big prize game. D. By inviting her to the clothing store.

No matter where you look outdoors, spring seems to bring with it lots of wildflowers, which provides us with
nice colors and sweet smells.
Joel Sartore, a photographer and an environmentalist, has made a point of planting native (本地的) wildflowers at
home and at his office. He also encourages his neighbours to start their own gardens of native plants. Why? Wildflowers
need our help. In the U. S., Great Plains alone, over 33 million acres of wildflowers and grasslands have been lost
since 2009, according to WWF.
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司You’ve probably heard that wildflowers support insects like butterflies and bees, which play a huge role in
pollinating crops (庄稼授粉) that we depend on for food. That’s just one of many ways wildflowers and other native
plants are important to our earth. Native flowers are part of a living network. They lock carbon(碳) within soil, an
important part of mitigating (减缓) changes in weather. They store water and nutrients, which are good for forests.
And, of course, they look beautiful, making them an attraction in any places.
“If we hope to encourage children to grow up fighting to save the planet, wildflowers are a perfect fit; they get
kids thinking about nature with a sense of wonder,” Sartore says. “These places serve as outdoor classrooms, plus
they clean our air, soil, and water.”
But what can we do? You don’t have to be an eager gardener or have lots of land to put your effort into. If you
live in a city, you can just plant flowers in a window box or on your rooftop.
Another way to get involved beyond your own space at home is to find out how public green spaces near you
are managed. You can also volunteer at a local nature center, or community garden that is planting native plants. If
you aren’t sure what types of plants are native to your area, ask at a nearby garden center or search online.
“I believe that people want to help make the planet a better place, but they just don’t know where to start,”
Sartore says. “Planting wildflowers and other plants is a great way.”
27. Why does Sartore plant wildflowers at home and at his office?
A. To show what types of plants are native to the area.
B. To encourage his neighbours to plant more native plants.
C. To provide kids with some places as outdoor classrooms.
D. To call attention to the disappearing of native wildflowers.
28. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The power of wildflowers. B. The ways of planting flowers.
C. The benefits of insects like bees. D. The importance of the living network.
29. According to the passage, what might be the proper way to help with native wildflowers?
A. Working as volunteers to help in local parks.
B. Building a big garden near your community.
C. Moving from the city to the village to grow plants.
D. Encouraging yourself to be an eager gardener first.
D
It’s a feeling you’ve almost experienced before—the fear of waiting for an exam to start. You worry about
whether you’ve prepared well, and about the possible failure. Gerardo Ramirez and Sian Beilock have found that
students do better in exams if they spend ten minutes writing about their worries.
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司At first, Ramirez and Beilock tested their solution in the lab. They asked 20 college students to take two math
tests. Before the first test, the students were simply told to do their best. Before the second test, each student was
assigned (分配) a partner who had already finished and improved on their original score. If the student could do the
same, both partners would get money. If not, neither would get anything.
Before they started the second test, half of the students sat quietly and the other half wrote openly about their
feelings on the coming exam. Ramirez and Beilock found that although both groups scored similar marks in the
first relaxed test, the writing group did much better at the second test. Their scores improved; rising by an extra 5%.
And the students who sat quietly actually did worse; their marks were 12% lower.
But was it the act of writing itself that did the trick? To answer that, Ramirez and Beilock ran the experiment
again in a real setting. This time, they worked with 51 ninth-grade students. Six weeks before the final biology
exam, they asked the students how anxious (焦虑的) they were. When the final hour arrived, the students were
asked for a 10-minute writing exercise. Half of them had to write about their thoughts on the coming exam, while
the other half had to write about an unrelated topic. Only then did they sit the exam.
Their final scores showed that if the students wrote about unrelated topics, their scores were lower. If they
wrote about their worries, their anxieties had no effect on their marks. And when Ramirez divided the students into
two groups according to how anxious they were, only the high group benefited from the exercise.
Ramirez and Beilock’s study has obvious practical effect. They’ve found a. simple way of helping the anxious
students to perform at their true level. They’ve also shown that the key to control our anxieties is not to push them
aside, but to face them.
30. What do we know about Ramirez and Beilock’s testing in the lab?
A. 51 college students got involved. B. The writing group scored lower in the test.
C. The students were required to take two tests. D. The students scored the same during the testing.
31. The words “did the trick” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”.
.
A told a joke B. lowered the scores
C. produced the result D. increased the worries
.
32 What did Ramirez and Beilock’s experiment in real setting suggest?
A. How the students felt about writing made a big difference.
B. What the students wrote before the test influenced their scores.
C. The topics the students wrote about after the test mattered a lot.
D. Students with no worries performed at their best level in the test.
33. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Writing about exam worries improves students’ results
第7页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. Writing exercises might lead working memory to do best
.
C Practising writing encourages students to score high in exams
D. Developing writing skills helps students get out of their trouble

Why Is Tai Ji the Perfect Exercise?
While it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine, it is not so easy to tell them what to
do. Some people like to run or climb mountains, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect
exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance.
There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many
good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from classes offered at health clubs. Either way, you can
move at your own pace.
Practitioners praise Tai Ji’s benefits, but what has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately is what Tai
Ji does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to millions of people in China and Chinatowns
around the rest of the world, who have already known about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported
that Tai Ji offers the greatest benefit to older people who are healthy but relatively inactive. Studies have shown that
practising Tai Ji regularly helps reduce(减少) falls among healthy old people. The next step, from a scientific point
of view, is to decide whether Tai Ji can help those who are already weak.
It can take a few months for the effects of Tai Ji to kick in, but when they do they can act as a gateway to a new
lifestyle. “Once people start feeling better, they often become more active in their daily life,” says Dr. Karim Khan,
a sports scientist at the University of British Columbia.
Any form of exercise, of course, can do only so much. “For older people, Tai Ji will not be the end-all,” says
William Haskell, an expert at Stanford University. “But a good way is to practise Tai Ji plus walking. Younger people
probably need more challenges, but they can benefit from Tai Ji to reduce stress.”
The best thing about Tai Ji is that people enjoy it, so they can stick with it long enough to get some benefits. It
helps when something that’s good for you is also fun.
