24、The Amazing Brain
Sleep. It’s something we spend about a third of our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what it’s all about?
We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we don’t sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still haven’t understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.
Recently biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brain’s most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wastes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didn’t stay on the outside. Instead, the CSF goes into and through the brain along the outsides of the blood vessels (血管), it was actually helping to clear away and clean the waste from the spaces between the brain’s cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.
Recent research suggests that what’s happening is that when the brain is awake and is at its most busy, it puts off clearing away the waste from the spaces between its cells until later. When we go to sleep, it gets into a kind of cleaning mode to clear away the waste from the spaces between its cells.
We go to sleep every single night, but our brains never rest. While our body is still and our mind is off walking in dreams somewhere. Like our housework, it’s dirty and a thankless job, but it’s also important. In your house, if you stop cleaning your kitchen for a month, your home will become completely unlivable very quickly. But in he brain, the situation is much more serious because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body that’s at stake. That is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may prevent and treat diseases of the mind tomorrow.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “at stake” in the last paragraph mean?
A. in a healthy situation
B. in a dangerous situation
C. in an amazing situation
D. in an unlivable situation
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sleeping makes our brain feel murky.
B. The CSF can clean the waste in our brain.
C. Our brain can clean the waste at any time.
D. Sleeping makes our brain have a good rest.
【3】What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To teach us how to have a good sleep.
B. To show the new research of our brain.
C. To introduce how CSF works in our brain.
D. To tell us the importance of sleeping.
25、
Kimberly, 15, Diocesan Girls' School Many students now work part-time during the summer and winter holidays. Some people think students should not work part-time. However, I support the idea. Firstly, working part-time can raise students' self-esteem. Through earning money, students will gain a sense of achievement. Secondly, part-time jobs can provide both training and experience. They will prepare students for their future careers. Part-time work can also teach students about responsibility (责任感). What's more, it allows them to put into practice the skills they have learned in school. However, students must make sure their part-time work does not affect their studies. | Laurence, 15, Tsung Tsin Middle School In my opinion, working part-time is not a good idea. Here is why. During the summer and winter holidays, students should go over what they have learned in school. Working part-time will make them very tired. Students will not be able to focus on their studies. It is very hard to balance studying and working. Compared with students in many other cities, those in Hong Kong have a heavy workload. They should use the little free time they have for relaxation, not work. Some may argue that part-time work helps students learn skills that are not taught in class. Therefore, students should work part-time. I disagree. We study full-time from primary school to university, for only about 15 years. This period of time is very precious. After leaving university, few people go back to school to study full-time. We have so many years ahead of us to learn skills we cannot learn at school. As students, we should just focus on our studies. |
【1】How many advantages of working part-time did Kimberly mention?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
【2】Laurence thinks students should________.
A.work full-time
B.work part-time
C.balance studying and working
D.just pay attention to studies first
【3】In Laurence's opinion, what should students do during the summer and winter holidays?
①Relax②Go over what they have learned in school.
③Take extra classes.④Put what they’ve learned in school into practice
A.①②
B.①③
C.③④
D.②④
【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Both Kimberly and Laurence are working part-time.
B.Kimberly thinks it is difficult to balance working and studying.
C.According to Laurence, students in Hong Kong have little free time.
D.Many people today go back to school to study full-time after leaving university.
26、It’s big, it’s nasty but it’s more than just a hole in the ground. Some landfills take in 2,000 tons of trash a day but America’s largest landfill takes in that amount each hour, which will be full in two to three years.
Garbage problem has been a long-standing issue. Volunteer students at the University of Arizona in the U.S. started the Garbage Project. They aimed at learning the influence of human’s activities on the environment by studying the garbage.
One important thing the students learned was that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to the students, as well as to many scientists who had predicted that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would break down naturally and quickly. From the landfills, students even found newspapers twenty years ago and forty-year-old hot dogs.
The Garbage Project also discovered that what people say they do was often very different from what they actually did. The volunteer students asked people what they bought, ate and drank, and then they compared this to what people threw away. For some reason, the two didn’t match. For example, the students found much more empty bottles of beer than people said they drank.
Information from the Garbage Project has helped us to see how much garbage we actually put in landfills. The students are hopeful that this will encourage us to find better ways to dispose (处置) of our garbage.
Of course, the best way to dispose of garbage depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular garbage, hazardou materials, or recyclables such as newspaper, glass bottles, and some metals. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Hazardous materials, on the other hand, contain poisonous chemicals or metals. They shouldn’t go into regular landfills. For example, waste batteries can pollute the soil and groundwater, which need to be recycled properly.
It’s necessary to reduce garbage from the source. With the development of living standards, people use too many plastic products only once before throwing them away, especially as online shopping becomes more popular. We can start reducing garbage by using cloth shopping bags and green delivery packages.
Unfortunately, recycling is expensive. It takes time and special treatment. However, in Japan, people recycle garbage so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Positive effects present gradually. In the last five years, the Japanese city of Kamikatsu has raised its rate of recycled waste to 80 percent.
It is a matter of great urgency and we must go into action now. There are many things that ordinary people can do to make less garbage. If everyone does the same, we will make our living environment safer and better.
【1】According to the passage, students of Garbage Project discovered that .
A.people knew what they actually threw away
B.garbage disappeared as scientists predicted
C.students collected newspapers for research
D.garbage was too much and lasted longer
【2】The word “hazardous” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”.
A.wet
B.common
C.dangerous
D.burnable
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Disposing the garbage properly will make a difference.
B.Adding more landfills helps solve garbage problems.
C.Improving the living level can reduce the garbage.
D.Shopping online helps to save the environment.

Then the whole secret will be out.
