• 2．The definition of community has evolved （升華）for me from childhood to the young adult I am now.My mom was born in America but both her parents were from the Bahamas.It was their culture to take care of the elderly and the sick.And my mom has taught me to be caring to those around us because we're all a part of the "community" ，an extension of family.
     When I was 9 years old，my family moved to Cape Coral，Florida.Both mom and dad worked full-time，so they registered me to attend an after-school program at the Youth Center.Youth counselors （輔導員） would help me with my homework and play games with me and this was where my interest took root.Community service started with me giving back at the Youth Center.
     Then illness struck at home.My grandmother had to have heart surgery and needed hospital treatment.This experience brought me to volunteer at Cape Coral Hospital.I asked if I could learn from the nurse how to give my grandma her medicine and it started here.
     I loved being at Cape Coral Hospital.I would bring paperwork to other doctors，bring food to the patients，and make sure the patients were attended.I would help direct visitors to see patients.I would always tell what would cheer the patients up because I had built a relationship with them and their loved ones.I grew to feel the hospital was a part of my community.
     After volunteering at the Youth Center and at the Hospital，I've learned that people become sort of an extended family when you care about them.Now I am more considerate of those close to me，neighbors and even strangers who share my resources.

• 3．When Millet was a boy he worked on his needy father's farm．At the rest hour in the fields the other workers would all take naps，but young Millet would spend time drawing．Finally the village where he lived gave him a little money to Paris to study art．
     When Millet reached Paris he had a tough time．Fortunately，when he was almost starving someone bought one of his peasant paintings，which enabled his family to leave for Barbizon．
     Millet's pictures of peasants at work were painted in a unique way．The painter would go out on the farms and watch them carefully-digging，hoeing，spreading manure，sawing wood，or sowing grain．Then he would come home and paint what he had seen．So astonishingly accurate was his memory that he could paint at home without models and get all the movements of his figures right．When he did need a figure to go by he would ask his wife to pose for him．
     One of his noted artworks is called "The Sower"，which shows a man seeding．He reaches into his bag for seed and then swings backward to scatter the seed，and with each swing of his hand the sower strides forward．In Millet's picture the sower has been working hard，but his swinging step and arm still move smoothly，like a machine．Only the man's head reveals his great tiredness．
     Another masterpiece is called "The Gleaners．" A gleaner is someone picking up the leftover in the field after the wheat harvest．When farmers near Barbizon are extremely badly-off，even the little the gleaners can find is a help．You can see from Millet's picture what back-breaking work gleaning must be．
  
  （1）What do we know about Millet？

  
  A．His wife supported him to be a painter．
  B．He was keen on painting as a kid．
  C．He spent his whole life in Barbizon．
  D．He was brought up in Paris．
  （2）How did he paint the laboring farmers？

  
  A．Asking models for help．
  B．Imagining figures in the field．
  C．Remembering what he had observed．
  D．Recalling the days on his father's farm．
  （3）What do Millet's works convey？

  
  A．The farmers' hardships．
  B．The scene of farming．
  C．His love for the village．
  D．His anxiety about the farmers．
  （4）What painting style of Millet can be inferred from the text？

  
  A．Impressionistic．

  D．Realistic．

• 4．Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner，friend，brother，sister or colleague，remember they could be helping to make you smarter.New research shows that intelligence （智力）is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members，bright mates and intellectually challenging careers.The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.
     Scientific consensus （共識）suggests intelligence is controlled by genes，with environmental factors （因素）such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.After this point，IQ scores remain unchanged.But James Flynn，professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand，argues that people can "upgrade" their intelligence throughout their lives.He believes intellectual stimulation （刺激）from other people is important as the "brain seems to be rather like a muscle ----the more you use it，the stronger it gets".So people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.
     Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ "age tables".He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters.However，children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.
     Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence，the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle.This means people can raise their IQ，or allow it to fall，by ten points or more.
     He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends，and find an intellectually challenging job.
  
  （1）According to the text，it is commonly believed that

  .
  A．people's IQ levels fall when they get old
  B．it is wise to share family members' views
  C．people cannot improve their intelligence during adulthood
  D．doing something challenging is good for one's intelligence
  （2）Which of the following can help improve one's intelligence according to Professor Flynn？

  
  A．Making many friends.
  B．Staying with smart people.
  C．Doing exercise every day.
  D．Learning from brothers or sisters.
  （3）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．You will become smarter as time goes on.
  B．You still have the chance to become smarter after 18.
  C．You are likely to become smarter by doing different jobs.
  D．You are surely smarter at the age of 35 than at the age of 18.
  （4）What's the purpose of the text？

  
  A．To inform.
  B．To advertise.
  C．To entertain.
  D．To persuade.

• 5．An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life.（1）

  Here are some "old-fashioned" but important manners for your modern kids.
     Saying "thank you" to service workers
     Saying "thank you" is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day，like wait staff，store clerks，and bus drivers.It's not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others' contributions as valuable. （2）

  
     Taking turns talking
     Teach your children to touch your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge （理會） them before speaking.If they do interrupt，calmly tell them it's rude to interrupt and let them know you'll acknowledge them shortly. （3）

  Offer your children the same politeness and don't interrupt them when it's their turn to talk.
     Using their indoor voices
     （4）

  A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate （使適中） their volume and tone based on the situation.You can make it into a fun game for little ones，like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema.
     Covering a cough or sneeze
     These days it's more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow.It's not just a matter of hygiene （衛生） —no one enjoys getting sprayed. （5）

  Don't forget to teach them to say "excuse me" after.
  
  A.Remember it goes both ways.
  B.Therefore it makes others feel cared about.
  C.Games are very important for children's good manners.
  D.Crying，laughing，or just talking，children can be very loud.
  E.Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.
  F.It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.
  G Eventually it's about teaching them not to treat others as their servants.
