• 2．As I stood in line waiting to check out at my favorite store，I studied the customer in front of me.She was in her early twenties，but looked as if life had beaten her down many times.Everything about her spelled hardship.
     The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat，along with some inexpensive items.Carefully placed in a far corner sat a little doll，some animal stickers，and a 50%-off pretty dress.
     When it was her turn and the store employee finally calculated everything and told her the cost，her face paled.She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change.Obviously she didn't have enough.She removed much-needed goods while the cashier patiently put them away with a pleasant smile.
     The child's items remained in the cart，however.The man right behind me shouted loudly，and the young woman's cheeks reddened with embarrassment.I wanted to pay for her groceries，but I knew that would hut her.
     Instead，I turned around and said to the man in a low voice， "Be grateful you've never had to do that!" And then，as she tried to decide what other necessity she could return，I said， "Take your time.I'm in no hurry."
     The woman finally reduced her groceries，paid and moved down to bag them.When my turn came，I moved forward and placed several items with the pile of items the woman had taken out and whispered " Separate bags，same bill please." The cashier nodded and quickly complied.Then she "accidentally" rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor.As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit，I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart，along with a twenty-dollar bill.
     That night，as I sat with my husband，my thoughts went to the Lady who I hoped was enjoying a hearty meal with her little girl，and I hoped silently that her life would take an easier turn soon.

• 3．Video games sometimes have a bad name because they keep people indoors playing them instead of talking and playing with others face to face.However，a new study says that they might be good for young people's brain development.
     Scientists from the University of Vermont used data from the ABCD project，which is a study of brain development and health of children in the US as they move into adulthood.The results ware taken from 2，217 children aged nine or ten.They were divided into two groups.The first group never play video games while the second group play them for three or more hours a day.
     The young people were set two tasks.The first one measured their reaction（反應(yīng)） time by seeing how quickly they could press buttons that matched images on a screen.The second test tested their memory.They were show pictures of people's faces and later were shown more and had to say if any of the faces were the same.During the tests，their brains were scanned with fMRI to measure brain activity.
     The people who played video-games were better at the two tasks，and the fMRI scans showed that they show more brain activity in memory and attention.However，researchers don't know if gaming improved their memory and reactions，or if they already had good memories and reactions and therefore enjoyed gaming.
     The scientists hope to carry on studying the same young people as they get older to track the effects of gaming.The team could also find out in future if particular types of video games affect people's brain activity differently.
     The lead scientist on the study，Bader，said that too much screen time isn't good for people's mental or physical health.Although playing video games may get the brain more active than just going through videos on YouTube，it's important to spend time outdoors in the fresh air，taking exercise and having fun with friends and family.
  
  （1）What does the ABCD project do？

  
  A．It deals with adult brain development.
  B．It studies the development of young brains.
  C．It explores the harm of video games on teens.
  D．H focuses on the importance of communication.
  （2）How did the first group perform compared with the second one？

  
  A．They showed fewer problems in memory.
  B．They already had better memory ability.
  C．They showed better ability in attention.
  D．They showed more attention problems.
  （3）What do the researchers hope to do with the same young people？

  
  A．Track the effects of video games on them.
  B．Separate bad video games from good ones.
  C．Find ways to stop people from video games.
  D．Find a safe tine limit on playing the games.
  （4）what can we infer from Bader's words？

  
  A．The benefit of video games should be recognized.
  B．YouTube videos are less harmful than video games.
  C．There're many better things to do than video games.
  D．The young should be taught to stay off video games.

      Only eight days until Thanksgiving and there wasn't going to be enough money to buy the necessary things for the holiday.I promised my three sons that we'd love a nice family dinner in our new home，unlike the prior year when we canceled Thanksgiving to deal with the loss of their father.
      It was hard to put everyday food on the table for three growing boys with the little I earned from work，but I promised a good meal.We looked forward to a day of good eating!But there was only enough bread in the house，two chicken breasts and a few other things.
      The next day，I met my friend and neighbor，Aleta，at her home.Her four boys and my kids were good friends.Her husband had recently lost his job due to illness，and they suffered financial difficulties as well.
  We stood there talking about our coming Thanksgiving dinner，and agreed to make a Thanksgiving feast together.Then children of the two families headed out and found a few neighbors who helped them earn enough to purchase most of the items they set out for，except the turkey.
      Four days before Thanksgiving，I managed to buy a turkey and finished baking the cookies.My friend called with news about a family living in our community who needed help with food and bills.The father had been in an accident and unable to work for the last few months.We didn't know the family well，but my friend and I went to visit them with our holiday cookies，hoping to help in some way.In no time，her kids ate the cookies.
      While everyone chatted.I went into their kitchen.The cupboards were almost bare.I was shocked.Aleta and I left the house，desperately wanting to help.Without a word，we looked at each other，asking ourselves the same question.Could we sacrifice a little more and give the family our holiday meal？
