【題目】 Teenagers have a lot of new ideas. Let’s have a look at these teenage inventions that might change the world.

Banana leaves usually go bad in two or three days. Tenth Hadith, a teenager from India, used UV to make the leaves stay fresh for a year. Tenth thinks that one day the leaves will be used for making plates, cups and other things.

David Cohen, an American teenager, built an earthworm（蚯蚓） robot. It is able to go into the smallest places, where humans or dogs can’t go. It will be used for finding people in a fire or an earthquake.

Remya Jose, a 14-year-old girl from India, found it tiring and boring to hand wash clothes in the nearby river. She reused some bicycle parts and created a washing machine that saves time, energy and keeps people fit at the same time.

Kenneth Shinozuku, a 15-year-old boy from New York, noticed that his grandfather who got Alzheimer’s disease（老年癡呆）would often leave home and get lost. So he invented the wearable sensors（感應(yīng)器）to help people find their family members like his grandfather.

【題目】

What makes humans smarter than other animals? We’ve got a bigger brain, of course. But when it comes to brains, is bigger always better?

Traditionally, scientists have thought that humans’ better intelligence（智慧）came mostly from the fact that our brains are three times bigger than those of our nearest living relatives, chimpanzees. People even used to believe that men are smarter than women because men have a little larger brains.

This, however, is not the truth. Scientists at University College London in the UK have found that brain organization, and not brain size, is the key to the advantage of human intelligence, reported Live Science.

Through millions of years of gradual development, our ancestors（祖先）were pushed to get smarter all the time so that they could meet the needs of new environments. However, holding this growing intelligence in increasingly large brains was not the best choice because bigger brains require more energy to power. “This is when reorganization may come into play,” said Christophe Soligo, a member of the London research team.

In the study, scientists looked at the brains of 17 kinds of primates（靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物）, including monkeys, apes and humans. They found that in the process of gradual development, brains didn’t keep growing as a whole. Certain parts of the brain grew more than others as needed, and in this way they could make the best use of their limited brain space.

For example, when early humans were trying hard to live, the brain region（區(qū)域） which is in charge of using tools and finding food grew in size more than other regions. But in modern times, the prefrontal cortex（前額皮質(zhì)）— the region in charge of social cognition (認(rèn)知), moral judgments and goal-directed planning — grew more than the rest of the brain.

Think of the brain as a room. If a big room is poorly organized, it doesn’t necessarily store more things than a smaller one.

Paul Manger, a professor, explains this using the example of whales. He told Scientific American: “Whales have big brains. But if you look at the actual structure（結(jié)構(gòu)）of the brain, it’s very simple. Brain size only matters if the rest of the brain is organized properly. ”

【1】According to the passage, in recent human development, ________.

A.the prefrontal cortex grew most in the brain

B.human’s most regions of the brain didn’t change

C.brain became simple because the brain space is limited

D.brain kept growing in size todeal with new environments

【2】The words “in charge of” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”.

A.similar toB.responsible forC.in need ofD.with help of

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A.the difference between men and women has an effect on intelligence

B.the larger brains are usually organized better than the smaller ones

C.animals whose brains are organized properly can be smarter

D.the size of the brain has nothing to do with intelligence

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Is Human Brain the Biggest of All Animals’?B.Do Men have bigger Brains than Women?

C.Are Human Brains Growing as a Whole?D.Does a Bigger Brain Make you Smarter?

【題目】

When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins (頁(yè)邊的空白處) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite. Doodling might help one focus on work.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group was encouraged to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29% more.

Other people have suggested other uses for doodling. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you'll have a fresh perspective (觀點(diǎn)) and figure out an answer more quickly.

An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling.

Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

【1】Which of the following is true?

A.Jesse Prinz thinks doodling can help people remember better.

B.Brown believes doodling involves four ways of learning.

C.One study shows doodling is a distraction from more important things.

D.Many people think that doodling may be good for your learning and thinking.

【2】According to the passage, when you have a problem, you might find a way to solve it by ________.

A.having a conversationB.watching a movie

C.drawing lines or shapesD.wondering in the park

【3】The writer probably agrees ________.

A.doodling has drawn more attentionB.doodling needs good drawing skill

C.doodling develop one's patienceD.doodling helps one focus attention

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A.The problems of doodling.B.The causes of doodling.

C.The advantages of doodling.D.The side effects of doodling.
