五、阅读理解
“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.
Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather than listen.
“Listen. And you will learn something.” Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.
That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out but a croak (低沉沙哑的声音).
Simon’s mother looked at him, “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”
“Can I stay at home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.
When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said “Hello” to him, and he just nodded (点头). When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged (耸肩). By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he’d grown a third eye.
Penny raised her hand, “Mrs. Jacobs, why isn’t Simon talking?”“He never stops talking,” Richard said worriedly.
Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised. Simon sat in class, bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn’t there, but he couldn’t even do that. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun. He decided to try to pay attention.
He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.
The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.
What a difference that one day made!
( )1. What did Mrs. Jacobs want Simon to do in class?
A. Talk. B. Listen. C. Hold up his hand. D. Stay awake.
( )2. What was the problem with Simon that day?
A. He got a cough. B. He was late for school.
C. He lost his voice. D. He lost interest in school.
( )3. Why was almost everyone looking at Simon?
A. Because his eyes looked strange. B. Because Mrs. Jacobs praised him.
C. Because he talked with nobody. D. Because Mrs. Jacobs greeted him first.
( )4. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Mrs. Jacobs was a very strict teacher.
B. Simon could do his homework in the past.
C. All Simon’s classmates felt happy for his quietness.
D. Simon realized the importance of listening from that day.
( )5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Are you listening? B. Are you thinking? C. Is your school fun? D. Is your voice OK?

四,任务型阅读
Have you ever forgotten where your socks are when you wake up in the morning? Can you remember what you ate for lunch a week ago? You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing. But now you should be thankful.
Scientists from the University of Toronto found that forgetting is actually a key part of learning. The Independent reported. Getting rid of (除去) unnecessary information can help our brains work better.
What kind of information is unnecessary? Scientists say that this may have something to do with the environment you live in.
In an environment that is always changing, our brains may require (需要) us to remember less. For example, a supermarket cashier (收银员) meets many people every day and will probably only remember them for a short time. But a designer (设计师) who often meets his or her clients (客户) will remember longer. That’s because our brains keep making new neurons (神经元) from stem cells (干细胞), said Paul Frankland, a professor at the University of Toronto.
There is a special area in our brains called the hippocampus (海马体). It is important for us to learn and remember. When new neurons go into the hippocampus, they renew our old memories. This could explain why you forget so much information about the time when you were very young.
However, being forgetful is not always good. When you don’t have enough sleep, you may have a hard time remembering new information. Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information, Matthew Walker from the University of California told the Hufington Post.
1.________ is not all bad
2.________ do we need to forget?
◆ Forgetting is a key part of 3.________
◆ Getting get rid of unnecessary information can help our brains to work ________.
What is unnecessary information?
It depends on the 5._____________ you live in. For example:
◆ A cashier won’t remember people for a 6.__________ time
◆ A designer can remember his or her clients longer.
How does the brain work to help us remember?
◆ The hippocampus is a special area in our brains.
◆ Our old memories are renewed when new neurons 7.___________ the hippocampus—that’s why we can’t 8._______________ many things about the time when we were young.
◆ When you don’t have enough sleep, it’s 9.____________ for you to remember new information. Sleep helps the brain 10.___________ and keep new facts and information.
