The Life of Jane Goodall
On the morning of July 14, 1960, Jane Goodall arrived at Lake Tanganyika in the Gombe National Park. Then
around 5 p. m, Jane went into the forest to find her first chimpanzee.
As a young woman, Jane Goodall was following her childhood dream of studying chimpanzees in Africa.
After many months of difficult work she made three important discoveries: chimpanzees ate meat, they used tools
to get food, and they also made tools.
Every evening, Jane wrote her findings in her journal. She began to publish articles in magazines. After a
while, Jane was accepted by a university. Her work was also making her famous. There was a documentary (纪录
片)film,Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees (1963), and then My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees (1969), the
first of many books. During the 1970s, Gombe became a dangerous place to work. It is on the border of four
different countries and there was fighting among them. Many foreigners left, but Jane stayed to continue her
workand noted that chimpanzees could also be violent.
A different problem developed in Gombe in the 1980s. The forests were getting smaller and there was no
enough space for chimpanzees because of the increasing human population.As a result, there were only about a
hundred chimpanzees living in Gombe by t the end of the1980s. Jane realized something had to be done, so she
made a plan with the local community to grow more trees.
At the beginning of the 1990s, Jane left Gombe. She set up sanctuaries (庇护所)for chimpanzees which hadbeen caught because of the trade in chimpanzee meat. She also started giving speeches. She has very little spare
time but still spends part of every year in the forest in Gombe, watching her chimpanzees.
24. What was Jane's childhood dream?
A. To explore forests in Africa.
B. To make a documentary film.
C. To write books about animals.
D. To study chimpanzees in Africa.
25. What did Jane do in the 1970s?
.
A. She continued to work in Gombe
B. She went to study in a university.
C. She found her first chimpanzee.
D. She published her first book.
26. What plan did Jane make to help chimpanzees in1980s?
A. To grow more trees B. To do more studies
C. To stop the fighting. D. To set up sanctuaries

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction (上瘾). When we eat or drink sugary
foods, the sugar enters our blood and influences parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling
goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it
is in fact addictive, and doctors suggest we all cut down on it.
“It seems like every time I study an illness, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-
third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure ( 血 压 ), and up to 347 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why?
“Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the main reason,” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies
learned to keep sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people
have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s
extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
Some manufacturers ( 制造 商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. This may
make the food appear as healthier, but large amounts of sugar are often added.
But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are offering more fruit instead of
deserts. Other schools are building facilities for students to do exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
30. Why is sugar addictive?
A. It makes us feel good and want more of it. B. It has a strong effect on our blood.
C. Tasty foods are full of sugar. D. There is sugar in medicine.31. According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar?
A. We like candy too much. B. It gives us needed energy.
C. It is in so many foods and drinks. D. We get used to eating it at school.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to avoid sugar. B. Our addiction to sugar.
C. Illnesses caused by sugar. D. Good sugar and bad sugar.

The Teenage Brain
Parents, teachers, and others who deal closely with teenagers know how difficult the adolescent(青少年的)
years can be. This was thought to be due to the “foolishness of youth.” Now, brain-imaging technology allows
scientists to study the physical development of the brain in more details than ever before. Their discoveries have led
a new theory of why teens act this way.
Recently, scientists have discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they
are far from fully developed. Only during adolescence do our brains truly “grow up.” During this time, they go
through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. This “upgrade” was once thought to be finished by
about age 12. Now scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us
better at balancing impulses (冲动) with following rules. But a still-developing brain does this clumsily (笨拙地).
The result, scientists believe, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks. Luckily, the news isn’t all bad. As brain scientist B. J.
Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward (回报).
Researchers have found that when teens think about rewards, their brains release more of the chemicals that
create pleasure. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens
feel the excitement of new experience.
Research into the structure of the teen brain have also found that it makes social connection seem especially
rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can
change to deal with new situations. So it connects social rewards with even more pleasure. In this way, the brain
encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make them more successful in life.
Unluckily, this need for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also
means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. And in the long run, the
impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own life successfully.
33. According to Paragraph 2, what have the scientists discovered now?A. A changing brain helps follow the rules.
B. Our brains finish upgrading by age of twelve.
C. Our brains are fully developed by the age of six.
D. A developing brain can cause unpredictable behaviors.
34. The writer probably agrees that .
A. teenagers should learn from their bad decisions
B. many teenagers are able to change their behaviors
C. the way the teen brain works makes them less afraid
D. the impulses of a teenage brain should be controlled
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The teen brain makes risks less exciting.
B. The impulse of teen brain can benefit teenagers.
C. Teenagers with more friends are more successful.
D. Teenagers make wrong decisions because of their brain.

World Kindness Day is a celebration which takes place on 13 November each year. It was introduced in 1998
by the World Kindness Movement. It is celebrated in many countries, including Canada, Japan, Australia and some
other countries. World Kindness Day is celebrated to highlight acts of kindness passing on the positive(正面
的)power.
Why be kind? Few people would disagree with the idea that a kind action is good for the soul(灵魂). It is a
win-win situation because it leads to a sense of well-being both for thereceiver of this kind action, as well as for the
person who does the action. As a simple example,let's imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good
job. How about taking a moment to mention this to them, just in conversation or perhaps by email? The effects of
this will probably be quite clear: your workmate will be happy to receive some praise and, in addition, you will
probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.
Many organisations try to encourage people to be kind, wherever and whenever they can. Perhaps the
strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation. The RAK website suggests
some ways to show kindness. Generally, these fall into three categories. The first is interpersonal kindness. Some
examples are giving old clothes to charity(慈善机构) or writing a good comment about a restaurant that you like.
The second is environmental kindness, which could mean simply recycling or organising a group event to clean a
local park or beach. The third category is less obvious: personal kindness, which means treating yourself kindly.
Some examples are taking a walk in nature or setting yourself an objective to complain less. The logic is that bybeing kind to yourself, you will surely be kinder to the world around you.
Most experts on kindness agree that it has a sort of ripple effect. This means that one kind action is more likely
to lead to more and more. So don't wait for kindness to find you today, go and start a new ripple!
