• 2．The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school.Small for my age，and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast，I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.The Field Day，which focused on individual skills，was different.In the Softball Throw event，I got my first taste of sporting victory.Credit goes to the example of my first coach，my father.He lifted weights every morning at home.He bought us all baseball gloves and hats，and in the warm months，we spent hours playing catch.Come fall，our backyard football games began with passing practice.
     Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school，our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team.Throughout the year，we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points.I eventually became president of The Committee of Games，accelerating my competitive fever.However，in girls' sports games at my school，I was no star.I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.School sports did not bleed into（滲透進(jìn)... ...）the weekends，as they do today，but at home，playing tennis，skating，skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During break time，magazines were also quite popular for us teens.These regularly featured articles on physical exercise.Somehow，my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force（RCAF）exercises every day，a practice that continued into my marriage，when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.So，though it shocks some of our friends，that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus，considered essential even on vacation.I still love reading and the arts，too.As far as I'm concerned，life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "humiliation" mean in Paragraph 1？

  
  A．responsibility.
  B．disappointment.

  A．Her advanced sports outfits.
  B．Her confidence in her sports ability.
  C．The sports talent inherited from her father.

  （3）What happened after the author stepped into adulthood？

  
  A．She generally exercised on weekends.
  B．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
  C．She preferred reading to exercising.
  D．She maintained her love for sports.

• 3．The latest in cat research reveals that the lovely animal seems to have a basic grasp on both the laws of physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect.
     According to a newly published study，cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey （獵物） using both their ears and an inborn （天生的） understanding of how the physical world works.
     In a recent experiment，Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook.Some containers rattled （發(fā)出響聲）；others did not.When the container was tipped over，sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it didn't.
     It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over.When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container，they looked at it for a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected.
     "Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects，" lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release.The researchers conclude that cats' hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where prey is，using their hearing.
     Scientists have explored this idea with other lovely creatures；babies.Like cats，babies appear to engage in what's called "preferential looking" — looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive as normal.
     When babies' expectations are disturbed in experiments like the ones performed with the cats，they react much like their animal friends.Psychologists have shown that babies apparently expect their world to be consistent with the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as two months of age.
     Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect？Maybe.Okay，so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America's most important research universities.But by demonstrating their common sense，they've shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.
  （1）What do we learn from a newly published study about cats？

  
  A．They can be trained to understand the physical world.
  B．They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.
  C．They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.
  D．They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.
  （2）What may account for the cats' response to the noise from the containers？

  
  A．Their inborn sensitivity to noise.
  B．Their unusual sense of direction.
  C．Their special ability to perceive.
  D．Their mastery of cause and effect.
  （3）In what way do babies behave like cats？

  
  A．They focus on what appears odd.
  B．They view the world as normal.
  C．They do what they prefer to do.
  D．They are curious about everything.
  （4）What can we conclude about cats from the passage？

  
  A．They have higher intelligence than many other animals.
  B．They interact with the physical world much like humans.
  C．They display extraordinarily high intelligence in hunting.
  D．They can aid physics professors in their research work.

     Sam was a junior high school student.He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life.So much of what he knew about plants came from text-books.Sam was a kind-hearted person.He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
     Finally，the opportunity came.On Arbor Day（植樹節(jié)），his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees.Sam was excited about it and couldn't wait to tell his mom the good news.So the next day，Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees，including a shovel（鏟），a bucket，gloves and so on.
     On the day of the event，Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point.It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy.With the tools in hand，Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.
     As soon as they reached the village，all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher.One team was responsible for planting the trees，one team for shoveling the soil and one team for watering the trees.At the teacher's command，everyone started to do their job.
     However，it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees，so they had no idea about how to start.Of course，Sam was one of them.Fortunately，their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees.In order to set an example to the students，the teacher started to plant trees himself.After watching the teacher plant the trees，everyone also became busy.Before long，they planted hundreds of trees.Sam watched very carefully，not wanting to miss any of the details.Finally，Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.
