I had the meanest mother in the world. 36 other kids ate candy, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. While others had cokes and candy, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least, I wasn’t 37 in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

Children who talk on cell phones while crossing a street are at a higher risk to get hit by a vehicle, according to a study by psychologists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The study included 77 children aged 10 and 11, who completed a dozen of virtual street crossings. Even children familiar with using cell phones or considered to generally be “highly attentive” mistimed crossing streets while talking. To be more specific, adolescents(青少年) who talked on the phone, needed 20 percent more time to start crossing the street, and they were 43 percent more likely to be hit by a vehicle, the researchers said. Also, the children checked both ways 20 percent less often before crossing the street and gave themselves 8 percent less time to cross safely in front of the passing traffic when they were on the phone.
Factors such as age, frequency of cell phone use or pedestrian(步行者) experience did not affect safer pedestrian habits, the study found. According to Despina Stavrinos, a co-author of the study and a doctoral psychology student at the UAB, children who had just turned 10 were at a slightly higher risk of being distracted than those who were about to turn 12.
“We found that all children in the study were more distracted when talking on their cell and crossing the street," said a study co-author David Schwebel.
UAB experts are also planning to continue research in order to determine the way text messaging or listening to digital music devices impacts a child’s capability to cross a street safely. “Texting requires a stronger motor component than talking on a cell phone,” Stavrinos said. “With IPods, there is a reduction in hearing capacity. The study is now ongoing.
In spite of the study’s results, both Schwebel and Stavrinos emphasized that they were not against mobile phones and were not trying to discourage children from using them, which they recognized could be an important tool of convenience and safety. They just advise to limit the cell phone use while being in the streets, and pay more attention to traffic.
56. The passage is intended to ________.
A. warn child pedestrians of the cell-phone use danger
B. show children how to use cell phones properly
C. tell children about crossing street safely
D. report a research about cell-phone usage
57. Both Schwebel and Stavrinos ________.
A. are actually trying to encourage children to use cell phones
B. suggest children using cell phones appropriately
C. think children crossing the street are more likely to get hurt
D. wonder cell phones offer people convenience and safety
58. What does the underlined word “distracted” probably mean?
A. Focused. B. Disturbed. C. Encouraged. D. Rewarded.
59. According to the study, specifically, it took the children on the cell phone ______.
A. 43% longer to begin crossing the street
B. 8% longer to cross safely in the passing traffic
C. 20% longer to check both ways
D. 20% longer to begin crossing the street
60. We can infer from the passage children ________.
A. walking and talking on the phone appears to be dangerous
B. texting spend more time crossing the street than on cell phones
C. are more distracted in the virtual environment than in real life
D. familiar with using cell phones don’t mistime crossing streets

Once upon a time, families kept a sense of their history through passing on their lives to the younger generation by word of mouth. That kind of transmission (傳遞) is beautiful in its way, but it can be unreliable.
Today it doesn’t have to be that way. We have so many means of recording lives: photographs, videos and audio.
Google “family history” and you’ll see that millions of people all over the world are posting their work on the Internet. In 100 years, our great-grandchildren will be able to learn about the lives of past generation by going online.
A British woman has had the idea of starting a company offering to make films for families of a professional standard. Former BBC documentary-maker Karen Walsh got the idea for her company, Geneus films, after she made a film about her own family history.
Speaking to the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph she said of filming her relatives: “I could record them in their own words. I made a full-blown (全面的) documentary, just like those I make for the BBC and saw that other families might like the same sort of record.”
The Daily Telegraph talked to one of Karen’s happy customers, Sydie Bones, a 75-year-old woman from England. She planned something special for her son’s 50th birthday, something a bit more meaningful than a birthday cake and photo album. She wanted a film to show just how close her family is, what great laughers and talkers its members are.
62. People used to know their family history by ______.
A. reading stories written by the older generation
B. keeping photos and video recordings of their ancestor

63. According to Karen Walsh, what is a great way to keep a record of family history?
A. A documentary.
B. A photo album.
C. Posting work on the Net.
D. A video or an audio recording.
64. Sydie Bones wanted to ______.
A. make a meaningful photo album for her son
B. order a special cake for her son’s 50th birthday
C. allow future generation know her family online
D. have a movie as a record of a happy family life
65. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The text is an ad run for Karen Walsh’s company Geneus Films.
B. Today no one passes on family stories by word of mouth.
C. Karen Walsh produced family documentaries from looking at family history web pages.
D. Posting family photographs, videos, audio recordings is a way of preserving family history.

Smoking contributes to so many cancers, diseases and deaths. The costs to individuals, families and society are enormous.
That’s why the next community Healthy Living Project focuses on smoking and tobacco. A “Healthy Living Today, Not Tomorrow” community project started last fall that focused on healthy eating and physical activity.
Starting today, the community will report on smoking and its related issues. Every Wednesday—and other times from now until February—we will provide stories on everything from smoking cessation (停止) to second-hand smoke.
The series of stories will be broken down into five stages—looking at the costs and consequences of smoking and the addiction, smoking cessation, the different age groups of smokers, the impact of second-hand smoke, smoking policies in public places and workplaces and prevent teens from starting in the first place.
OK, I know there are smokers’ thoughts, “Just leave me alone”, “We’re always treated badly or at least picked on” and “Besides, we have a right to smoke at any place we want; we have rights”.
The series is not an attempt to “pick on” smokers, but an opportunity for a community discussion and offer support for smokers. It is a serious attempt to look at smoking—the addiction and the consequences.
The Healthy Living Together Project will be successful only if we have the support from input of smokers. We ask smokers to become involved – let us know how they feel and how we can help.
66. What can be the proper title for the passage?
A. For your health: we want to hear from smokers

B. are complaining about being prevented from smoking
C. are being helped to quit smoking by the community
D. are being treated badly when they are smoking
69. Whether the healthy Living Together Project would succeed mainly depends on _____ .
A. doctors’ contributions
B. the work of the community
C. smokers’ support
D. the support of the media
70. What can we learn from the passage?

Aging brains, even in the middle years, fall into what’s called the default mode(默認模式), during which the mind wanders off and begin daydreaming. Given all this, the question arises, can an old brain learn and then remember what it learns?
Over the past years, scientists have looked deeper into how brains age and confirmed that they continue to develop through and beyond middle age. Many longheld views, including the one that 40 percent of brain cells are lost, have been overturned. What is stuffed(填滿)into your head may not have disappeared but has simply been stored.
Recently, researchers have found even more positive news. The brain, as it goes through middle age, gets better at recognizing the central idea, the big picture. If kept in good shape, the brain can continue to build pathways that help its owner recognize patterns and, as a consequence, see significance and even solutions much faster than a young person can. The trick is finding ways to keep brain connections in good condition and to grow more of them.
“There’s a place for information,” says Kathleen Taylor, a professor at St. Mary’s College of California, “We need to know stuff. But we need to move beyond that and challenge our perception of the world. If you always hang around with those you agree with and read things that agree with what you already know, you’re not going to wrestle with your established brain connections.”
Such stretching is exactly what scientists say best keeps a brain in tune: get out of the comfort zone to push and nourish your brain. Do anything from learning a foreign language to taking a different route to work.
71. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To show the main idea.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To make a leading to the topic.
D. To summarize the whole passage.
72. Over time, scientists have found that _________.
A. human’s brains stop developing at middle ages
B. human’s memory may have disappeared
C. the middle-aged see significance and even solutions much faster
D. the middle-aged appreciate big pictures better than a young person
73. What does “wrestle with” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. To throw somebody to the ground.
B. To move something large and heavy.
C. To hold something with difficulty.
D. To struggle to overcome something.
74. How can we keeps our aging brains in tune?
A. Change your job as much as possible.
B. Look at the world from a new angle.
C. You must attend a foreign language.
D. Stick to our former perception of the world.
75. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people ______.
A. how to train the aging brain
B. the problems with his aging brain
C. the middle-aged can remember things faster
D. the importance of learning a foreign language

高中英語閱讀理解練習題及答案
Greedy
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long dark ages‘’in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred/the next thousand/the next million? That‘s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50000 years ago, how could they have even begun to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters did to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can‘t think of.
So why bother(困擾) even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy(貪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuse for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future man may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.
1.A particular mention made of Stapledon‘s book in the opening paragraph______.
AA. serves as a description of human history
B. serves as an introduction to the discussion
C. shows a disagreement of view
D. shows the popularity of the book
2.The text discusses men and woman 50000 yeas ago and 50000 years from now in order to show that______.
A. human history is extremely long B. life has changed a great deal
C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
3.The underlined words in the third paragraph are used in the text to refer to______.
A. the tools used in farming B. the ideas about modern life
C. the unknown things in the future D. the hunting skills in the Stone Age
4.According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will______.
A. serve the interests of the present and future generations
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improve farming D. make life worth living
