What is a bird?
Any animal that has feathers(羽毛) is a bird. All birds have two wings(翅膀) and two legs. Modern birds have no teeth, but they have a hard mouth part. It helps them catch and eat their food. All she-birds lay eggs, and most birds build their homes. Birds — like people — are “warm-blooded”. Their body temperature stays about the same no matter how hot or cold the air is.
Why do birds have feathers?
Feathers help a bird to keep warm. In cold weather, their feathers act as a cover by holding in body heat. In warm weather, a bird squeezes (挤) its feathers against its body to let body heat escape.
Feathers also help a bird to fly. While flying, a bird uses its outer wing feathers to move on in the air. Wing feathers and tail feathers are used to keep balance (平衡).
What do birds eat?
Different kinds of birds eat different kinds of food. Usually birds have their favorite foods, but will eat some other things, too. Many birds like worms and insects best. Birds that live near water often eat fish. Some birds eat meat — snakes, smaller birds, and other animals. Some birds eat fruit. Many small birds live on seeds (the small hard parts of a plant from which a new plant grows ).
Now you know more about birds.
42. Modern birds have a hard mouth part to help them ______.
A. fly in the sky B. take a rest

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is.
Break your time into a few parts if you have more than an hour's work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don't break it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.
Don't put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do for you really to learn. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it all.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit—part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.
51. When someone is hungry, he'd better .
A. not work at all B. work harder C. do your homework D. work as usual
52. The underlined word "assignment" means .
A. work B. hunger C. housework D. homework
53. If you do your homework very late in the evening, it will seem it really is.
A. as easy as B. easier than C. as hard as D. more difficult than
54. If you put off doing your homework, .
A. it will be kept on your mind B. it will be much easier to do
C. it will make you happy D. it doesn't matter much
55. To do your homework at the same time every day .
A. will make it easy to do B. will make your free time less pleasant
C. will help you form a good habit D. will make it much harder

    Some time ago I found that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
    The second shop, though a little more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth――so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
　　I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper. “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”
　　Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You have just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you 27 pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, `Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
41. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____.
   A. was rather impolite    B. was warmly received
   C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
   D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
42. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _____.
   A. plan for dealing with things   B. decision to sell things
   C. idea of repairing things      D. way of doing things
44. How much did the writer pay?
   A. ￡5    B. ￡7     C. ￡20      D. ￡ 27
45. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _____.
   A. honest    B. careful    C. clever    D. funny
D
What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists（心理学家） for this "childhood amnesia"( 记忆缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主张)that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access（接近） childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fit the pattern. It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren't any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else's spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent（永久的，持久的） memories of their personal experiences.
9.According to the passage, it is widely believed that _____.
A. it is impossible for an adult to recall his(or her) childhood experiences
B. adults and children have different brain structures
C. adults think in words while children think in images
D. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories
10.The word "hippocampus" probably means___________.
A. a research center engaged in the study of human brains
B. a psychological research department of a university
C. a miniature (tiny) campus formulated in one's childhood memory
D. a part of the brain in charge of the formation of memories
11."Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary" is stated in the passage to show that_______.
A. adults and children have different memory patterns
B. it is unlikely to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary
C. Chinese and English are totally different languages
D. memories are in some way connected with languages
12.According to Annette Simms,_______________.
A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memories
B. there does not exist such things as childhood memories
C. children's brains are mature enough to form permanent memories
D. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they don't understand
