Miss Martha kept a little cake shop. Two or three times a week a customer came in who she began
taking an interest in. He was a middle-aged man. His clothes were worn but he looked neat, and had very
good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Never did he call for anything but stale bread.
Once Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark on his fingers. She was sure that he was a very poor
artist.
She wanted to add something good to eat to his stale bread, but her courage failed at the act. She knew
the pride of artists.
One day the customer came as usual, laid his coins on the showcase, and called for his stale bread.
While Miss Martha was reaching for them, a fire-engine came lumbering past. The customer hurried to the
door to look. Suddenly inspired, Miss Martha took the chance.
On the bottom shelf was a pound of fresh butter. With a bread knife Miss Martha made a deep cut in
each of the stale loaves, put in a lot of butter, and pressed the loaves tight again. When the customer came
again, she was tying the paper around them. When he had gone, Miss Martha smiled, not without a slight
beating fast of the heart.
For a long time that day she imagined the scene when he discovered her little kind trick.
Suddenly the front doorbell jangled viciously. Miss Martha felt a little scared and hurried to the front.
A young man and her artist were there. His face was very red, his hat was on the back of his head, and his
hair was in a mess.
“Silly!” he shouted loudly. “You have destroyed me!” He held his two fists and shook them angrily at
Miss Martha.
“Come on,” the young man said, “you’ve said enough.” He pulled the angry one out, and then came
back. “He’s an architectural draftsman,” he said. “He’s been working hard for three months drawing a plan
for a new city hall. It was a prize competition. He finished inking the lines yesterday. You know, a
draftsman always makes his drawing in pencil first. When it’s done, he rubs out the pencil lines with stale
5/12bread. That’s better than erasers. Well, today — well, you know, that butter isn’t — well, his plan isn’t
good for anything now.”
(1) Why did Miss Martha put fresh butter in the stale bread?
A. Because she wanted to help the man.
B. Because she wanted to make more money.
C. Because she wanted to make fun of the man.
D. Because she wanted to stop the man from winning the competition.
(2) What do the underlined words “jangled viciously” in paragraph 7 mean?
A. Rang gently.
B. Rang noisily.
C. Rang politely.
D. Rang nicely.
(3) What caused the middle-aged man to shout at Miss Martha?
A. Miss Martha hurt his pride.
B. He was too poor to buy anything but stale bread.
C. The butter Miss Martha gave him was not fresh.
D. The butter destroyed his drawing for the competition.
(4) What can we learn from the story?
A. Don’t help the artists.
B. Don’t put butter into the stale bread.
C. Help others at once when they’re in trouble.
D. Understand the real needs of others before helping them.

Marie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867.
Marie’s family had many troubles. Her mother was seriously ill. When Marie was 6, her father lost his
job and their home. They moved to a small flat. It was noisy and crowded. But the noise did not stop her
from studying.
In 1883, Marie finished high school. She dreamed of becoming a scientist. But in Poland, girls were
not allowed to go to college. And her family did not have enough money to send her to a university in
another country.
Reaching her dream seemed impossible.
Marie and her sister Bronya decided to study in France. Marie would work to pay for Bronya’s
schooling. Then, once Bronya left school, she would work and pay for Marie’s schooling.
6/12Finally, in 1891, Marie’s dream came true. She entered a university in Paris. In three years, she got
advanced degrees in Physics and Maths. She also met a scientist named Pierre Curie and they married in
1895.
Marie studied a metal element called uranium. She wanted to study uranium because scientists knew it
gave off unseeable rays of energy. She wondered where the rays came from.
Marie began testing rocks to find out if other elements gave off rays, too. Marie concluded two
elements (元素) found in the rocks were radioactive.They were thorium and uranium.
She called the energy “radioactivity”. Marie’s experiments were so exciting that she and Pierre soon
began working together. One day, Marie began testing a black rock. Marie discovered a new element in the
rock. She named it “polonium”. After Marie took away the polonium, the rock was still radioactive. She
knew another radioactive element was inside the rock. She called it “radium”.
In 1903, Marie and Pierre received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie was the first woman to receive a
Nobel Prize. In 1911, Marie accepted the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was the first person to receive two
Nobel Prizes.
Yet the work made her sick. On July 4, 1934, Marie Curie died of a blood disease that may be caused
by radiation.
Marie’s discoveries helped save millions of lives and changed the scientific world. Radiation has been
used to treat cancer. Her ideas about the atom helped lead to the discovery of nuclear energy.
(1) What happened to Marie?
A. She was born in a rich family in Poland.
B. She received the Noble Prizes in Physics and Maths.
C. She discovered the two new elements were radioactive.
D. She went to university in France because she loved France.
(2) What caused Marie to study uranium?
A. The experiment was very exciting.
B. The scientists knew nothing about uranium.
C. She wanted to know where the rays came from.
D. She wanted to work together with her husband.
(3) What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Marie’s life.
B. To introduce Marie’s dream.
C. To introduce the Nobel Prize.
D. To introduce polonium and radium.

Parents and teachers know how difficult the teenage years can be. Teens have always been known to
do wild, even dangerous things. This was thought to be because of the “foolishness of youth”. Now, the
new technology allows scientists to study the physical development of the brain in more detail. Their
discoveries have led to a new theory of why teens act this way.
A Work in Progress
7/12Recently, scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of 6, they
are far from fully developed. Only during youthhood our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go
through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. Now, scientists have concluded that our
brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses(冲动) with the
following rules. But a still-developing brain can’t do it well. The result is the changeable behavior seen in
teenagers.
Pleasure Seekers
The studies say that teens probably take risks and behave badly. Luckily, as a brain scientist points
out, the teen brain encourages 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. Researchers found
that when teens think about rewards, their brains produce more chemicals that create pleasure than an adult
brain does. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes
teens feel more excited about new experiences than adults do.
Research also found that it makes social connections seem especially useful. The brain encourages
teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make us more successful in life.
Unluckily, this hunt for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it
also means that teens are more possible, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent, which can
help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
(1) What can we know about our brains?
A. They don’t develop until age 25.
B. They are fully developed by the age of 6.
C. They grow bigger only during youthhood.
D. It’s not easy to act on impulse with developed brains.
(2) How does the teen brain help them prepare for adult life?
A. By making teens keep off new people.
B. By leading teens to make bad decisions.
C. By making teens braver to try new things.
D. By changing the way teens measure pleasure and reward.
(3) Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A.
B.
C.
8/12D.
(4) What can be the best title of this passage?
A. The teens
B. The teenage brain
C. The pleasure seekers
D. The work in progress
