• 2．Finally came Wednesday!I walked onto campus feeling nervous even though I had walked these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door.Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.
     I looked at my schedule.First period — German.Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning.What I didn't like，though，was that I was surrounded by students from other grades，with only five familiar faces.
     Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period — biology.Our teacher's name is Ms.Compeau，and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point.She also has her unique way of saying "be quiet，" she says "alligator." She explained that she is the king，or should I say queen，of the class because alligators are the "king of the swamps （沼澤）."
     My third class was English.After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge，I began to feel good.However，the third period changed everything.Mr.V.，my English teacher，told us that we would have to write 40 essays （文章） and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year.I love reading and writing，but 40 ESSAYS？AP-level books？Now I was scared.He also talked about how important it was to be focused.Last year was not a very "focused" year for me.While doing homework，I was often talking on the phone，or busy with a conversation on Facebook.I planned on stepping it up this year because I wanted to stay an honor student.

• 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.

• 4．Breakfast is food for the brain and for the rest of your body.And downing those morning calories is worth it，even for people worried about their weight，a new study finds.
     The study was led by Marlene Schwartz，a psychologists （心理學(xué)家）who studies obesity（肥胖）.Her group studied some 600 middle-school students.Over three years，students from 12 different schools were asked about their breakfasts.Throughout the study about 34%—44%of all students said that they regularly ate breakfast at home.Up to 17%，or almost one in every six kids，regularly ate breakfast at school.Overall（總的來說），about one in every 10 kids reported eating breakfasts both at home and at school.Eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older. For example，fifth graders were more likely to regularly eat breakfast at home.But by seventh grade，22%of the studied kids often skipped breakfast.
     Surprisingly，at every age，kids who ate breakfast were less possible to be overweight.This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school.It also found that students who skipped breakfast most often were those most likely to be overweight.These findings may seem puzzling.Yet Schwartz's team can think of several possible explanations.
     Skipping breakfast may set people to be"over-hungry"later in the day，she says.Then someone may eat more food than their body needs.What's more，not eating regularly in the morning stops our brains and bodies from working properly.It's very difficult for kids to stay concentrated in class without having breakfast.
     But why should eating two breakfasts not lead to weight gain？One explanation may be that school breakfasts are very healthy and controlled in size.Also，most of the double-breakfast eaters are boys.These kids are so active and actively growing up that they need more calories.They often eat twice as much as other people.
  
  （1）The example underlined in the second paragraph is meant to tell us

  .
  A．having breakfast is of no use at all
  B．skipping breakfast is rather harmful to kids' health
  C．kids will change their eating habits as they grow older
  D．it is important to have breakfast regularly
  （2）According to the passage，which one of the following statements is NOT true？

  
  A．The study was carried out among middle-school students.
  B．The study was going on for over three years.
  C．Skipping breakfast will possibly lead to weight gain.
  D．We can never eat too much in the morning.
  （3）Based on the passage，what may happen to a boy who eats breakfast regularly？

  
  A．He may put on weight.
  B．His brain and body will work well and properly.
  C．He will be in perfect health.
  D．He will be absent-minded in class.
  （4）What can we infer（推斷）from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Kids who are growing up more actively need more energy.
  B．All the kids should eat more to stay healthy.
  C．Eating two breakfasts will lead to weight gain.
  D．Schools must provide healthy breakfasts.

• 5．How to Improve Vocabulary Fast Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with.We should learn some ways to expand it.
     Read every day.（1）

  Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.
     （2）

  If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading，use your dictionary to search for one.
     Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word.Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary，you must be able to use it in speech.
     Elaborate（詳盡闡述）on the meaning of the word.If you have just learned the word "stubborn"，think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.（3）

  
     Use your new word in speech and in writing.E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.（4）

  But the more you use it，the more fluent you will become in its use.Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
     Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary.Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.（5）

  The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone，the more likely you are to remember it.
  
  A.Find a new word every day.
  B.The vocabulary can be increased.
  C.Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.
  D.The more often you read，the faster your vocabulary can grow.
  E.Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.
  F.The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.
  G.Imagine him shaking his head，and think of him as "stubborn in his refusal".
