1、 There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully...64. Knowing how to make such choices is "life skill", and we need it if we want to live useful and happy lives. Some of these choices are small. For example: Will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Other choices are more important. For example: Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.
65. We have to realize that the choices we make can make a difference to the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect (影响) other people. The next time you decide to waste time, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice affect?

24、
China's high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World's fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about 3 hours.
Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and working at your office in Shanghai in only 2 or 3 hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there by high-speed train.
Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it’s not impossible with the development of China's high-speed railway system. And that's not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan - to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and Western Europe in the end.
China is trying to enlarge its own high-speed railway to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, reaching London and Singapore at last.
China has planned three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via* Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under forty-eight hours.
【1】From the passage we know working in Shanghai and _____ in 2 or 3 hours will be possible by high-speed train.
A.shopping in Singapore B.fishing in Malaysia
C.having dinner in Beijing D.riding horses in Kazakhstan

26、Zhang Kai is a student at North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power(华北水利水电学院). He has led a group of college student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives.
“When I was a small child”, Zhang said, “I knew March 5 was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others, but I didn’t know the real meaning of the spirit(精神) of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. Helping others makes me happy.”
Lei Feng (1940-1962) is one of the most famous soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. He died in an accident at 22. He did many good deeds(好事) in his short life. For example, he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier. And bought tickets for a woman he didn’t know without telling her his name.
On March 5, 1963, Chairman Mao(毛主席) called on(号召) people to “Learn from Lei Feng” and made the day “Lei Feng Day”.
Today almost 50 years has passed since Lei’s death. Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is outdated(过时的).
But many people think we need to promote(提倡) that spirit again. There have been many reports about the coldness of people toward strangers. This has made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves.
“The most important thing is that we must be ready to help others and make it a habit.” said Huang Tianze, a student from Jianlan High School in Zhejiang.

27、In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, many studies have shown that this act has many benefits(益处).
New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, announces the same: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or notes by hand, you simply remember things better after some time,” said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.
The study was done using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. 12 young adults and 12 children took part in the study. Each person was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood(风帽)with over 250 electrodes(电极). The sensors(传感器)in the electrodes are very sensitive and catch the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.
The results show that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences build connections between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results show the importance of children’s learning to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it’s important for children to go through the tiring process of learning to write by hand,” she said.
The hand movements are good for us in many ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your skills and senses. It is important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. “You might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should learn by hand during a class.”
【1】What advantage does choosing handwriting have over using keyboard?
A.It’s more challenging.
B.It’s better for learning and memory.
C.It’s less likely to cause tiredness.
D.It’s more popular among students.
【2】According to the passage, when you are writing by hand, ________.
A.your brain is more active
B.your senses are hard to be activated
C.you take more time to study
D.your hand uses the same movement
【3】What do we know about the study?
A.12 people took part in the study.
B.The study focused on using a keyboard.
C.The study was designed only for children.
D.The study was to tell the importance of handwriting.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Handwriting brings people many benefits.
B.The interest in handwriting is growing nowadays.
C.Learning environment is important for the young.
D.Learning is controlled by the ways of memorizing.
