A
A Frenchman had arrived at a small Italian town and was staying with his wife at the best hotel there. One night he went out for a walk alone. He was late and the small street was dark and lonely. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it was the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided to follow him and force him to return the watch. Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian. Neither of them understood the other’s language. The Frenchman showed his fist to the Italian and pointed to his watch-pocket. The Italian thought that the Frenchman was demanding his own watch. In the end the Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman. When he returned to the hotel the Frenchman told his wife what had happened. He was greatly surprised when his
wife pointed to the watch on the table. Now he realized that by mistake he had robbed the Italian of his watch.
51. When did the Frenchman find his watch missing?
A. When he returned to the hotel. B. After the Italian went by.
C. When he was staying at the hotel with his wife. D. As soon as he arrived at the small Italian town. 52. Why did the Frenchman catch up with the Italian?
A. Because he thought that the Italian had stolen his watch.
B. Because he found that the Italian’s watch was the same with his. C. Because the Italian was a thief.
D. Because the Italian was walking too fast. 53. What really happened to the Frenchman’ s watch?
A. His wife had hidden the watch. B. He had left the watch in the hotel. C. The Italian had stolen his watch. D. His wife gave the watch to the Italian.

What are American high schools like? Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know.
When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I’d known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school. There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about
students’ morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying. 54. What made the writer sad at the beginning?
A. Being late for school. C. Being looked down upon.
B. Not knowing anyone.
D. Missing the chance of the trip.
55. Students go to the basement of the teaching building to _________.
A. have a free talk C. meet teachers
B. attend class
D. share a classroom
56. How did the writer feel when he began his lessons?
A. Happy.
B. Surprised. C. Unsatisfied.
D. lonely.
57. What might stop a student’s schooling in American school?
A. Not studying hard. C. Not finishing homework.
B. Cheating.
D. Failing in the exam. C
Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have
a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
58. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Exercise makes people strong.
B. How one can get good scores in a test. C. Exercise can help the brain develop. D. Brain can change one’s memory. 59. Why is yoga suggested for the old?
A. Because it does good to the joints of old people. B. Because it does not increase the heart rate. C. Because it can help learn new actions. D. Because it can be done in groups.
60．For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _____.
A. two hours per week C. three hours per day
B. 40 hours per week D. 40 hours per month
