• 2．    As the saying goes， "Without music，life would be a mistake." Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
      Ludwig van Beethoven （1770-1827）
      Born in Bonn，Germany，Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna.He supported himself by giving concerts，teaching piano，and the sale of his compositions（作品）.The last 30 years of Beethoven's life were filled with a lot of hard times，the first of which was his deafness.Beethoven's music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
      Johann Sebastian Bach（1685-1750）
      Bach， "the father of modern music"，was born in Eisenach，Germany.His parents died when he was nine years old，and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph，who was an organist（風琴手） in Ohrdruf.He stayed there until 1700.Eight years later，he moved back to Weimar，where he served as court organist for nine years.His music greatly influenced classical music.
      Frederic Chopin（1810-1849）
      Chopin was born in Warsaw，Poland.He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age.Chopin began composing when be was still a child，but some of his early works have been lost.He gave his first public concert in1818.Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
      Franz Schubert（1797-1828）
      Schubert was born and died in Vienna.Unlike most of his predecessors，Schubert was not a great performer.He never had much money but he was very productive.He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen.
      However，he died young，before his talents had even been known.

• 3．It's an attractive idea：by playing online problem-solving，matching and other games for a few minutes a day，people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning，verbal （語言的） skills and memory.But whether these games deliver on those promises is up for debate.
     This year，in perhaps the biggest real-world test of these programs，neuroscientists （神 經學家） at Canada's Western University gathered 8，563 volunteers globally through Cambridge Brain Sciences，a Toronto-based company that provides assessments to measure healthy brain function.Participants filled out anonline question form about their training habits，opinions about training benefits and which，if any，program they used.Some 1，009 participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months，onaverage，though the length of time ranged from two weeks to more than five years.
     Next，the volunteers completed 12 mental tests about memory，reasoning and verbal skills.When researchers looked at the results，they saw that brain trainees on average had no mental edge over the other group in memory，verbal skills and reasoning.Even among those who had used training programs for at least 18 months，brain training didn't boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn't use the programs.
     "No matter how we dealt with the data，we were unable to find any evidence that brain training was associated with mental abilities，" says a researcher.That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age，program used，education or economic situation - all were similar to the group who didn't use the programs.However，brain training may be beneficial when it is connected with real problems in life，researcherssay.The real world may be the best brain trainer.They suggest that we practice those skills in different real-life situations. "That's a much better use of one's time than sitting at a computer and doing little tasks."
  
  （1）How were the 1，009 test participants different from the others？

  
  A．They completed more mental tests.
  B．They showed better mental abilities.
  C．They filled an online question form.
  D．They had brain training experiences.
  （2）Which of the following best replaces the underlined word "edge" in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Advantage.
  B．Power.
  C．Illness.
  D．Control.
  （3）What do the researchers suggest about brain training？

  
  A．It should provide scientific data.
  B．It should promote online programs.
  C．It should settle problems in life.
  D．It should benefit more researchers.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title of the text？

  
  A．Debate Raised after Research？
  B．Online Games Boost Brainpower？
  C．Biggest Real-world Test Ever？
  D．New Method for Brain Training？

• 4．    The idea of having car，a plane，drone（無人駕駛飛機） parked outside your home may not be as unlikely as it seems.
      We are going to have personal air vehicles that are both cars and planes.At least that's Missy Cumming's vision of the future.It's basically the intersection of a drone with a robotic car，so your plane is also your car，but the quick development of technology is that you are actually driving neither.
      Drones have a negative image in the media，says Cummings，because they are basically seen as spy cameras.But most people don't realize that when they are on a plane they are effectively travelling on a drone.The fly-by-wire technology that exists on all Airbuses and many crafts of Boeing is the exactly same technology that exists on drones.
      The reason why drones are the answer to the future is that we are terrible drivers.Humans have a half-second lag（時滯） in almost any quick response that they need to have.Even a half- second delay can mean the difference between life and death，and computers and automated（自動化的） systems don't have that.
      So，our transportation network of the future，both on the ground and in the air，will actually be safer when we turn it over to computers.
      There really aren't any technological difficulties to this idea.The biggest difficulties we have in terms of giving up the car are psychological and cultural，but no new technology needs to be developed to have your own personal flying car.What we have to do is to improve production and reduce manufacturing costs.
      People should be excited about this：it promises much in terms of safer travel，and people in parts of the world where the road and air networks are poor will be able to get the goods and services.
  
  （1）What is the meaning of the underlined word"intersection" in paragraph 2？

  
  A．交叉
  B．部分
  C．交流
  D．結構
  （2）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 4 refer to？

  
  A．The truth.
  B．The difference.
  C．The quick response.
  D．A half-second delay.
  （3）What will most probably prevent the popularity of flying cars in the future？

  
  A．Their being expensive.
  B．Lacking advanced technology.
  C．People's not accepting the idea.
  D．People's failing to improve production.
  （4）What's the best title of the passage？

  
  A．Future Vehicles
  B．Future Flying Cars
  C．An Answer to the Future
  D．Safer Travel

• 6．The Spotlight Effect Have you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake？Well，here's some good news：it's likely that no one even noticed.
     （1）

  We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well.Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do，we may assume that everyone around us will notice.The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game，have a bad hair day，or give a terrible answer in class.（2）

  In these moments，it feels like everyone is watching.
     The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes.Every person is the main character in his or her story，and the events of our lives seem to have great importance.（3）

  
     The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience.However，in some cases，it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people.Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety.We all care about what others think，and we all want to be liked.It's normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people.（4）

  If someone is so nervous that they can't make good decisions，then it's time to take action and improve the situation.
     Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety.Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you，remind yourself that it's just your mind playing tricks on you.（5）

  If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family，it will help you be less self-conscious.
  
  A.However，this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.
  B.That's why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.
  C.Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you，rather than focusing on yourself.
  D.The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.
  E.What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.
  F.We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
  G.It can also appear when we score a big goal，ask someone on a date，or do a good deed.
