If you are like most people ,your intelligence (智力) changes with the seasons ,You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year . A famous scientist ,Ellsworth Huntington (1876—1947)，concluded (总结) from other men’s work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have an effect (作用)
11
on your mental abilities (智力).
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative (激活) thinking than summer heat .This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however , that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer .
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected(受影响)by the same factors (因素) that bring about great changes in nature .
Fall is the next-best season ,then winter .As for summer ,it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking .

Whenever kids played games, I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on（瞧不起）me.
Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend
11
on that saying.
As a child, I thought mun meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, People liked me.
In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mun and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance（外貌）.”
My mum's love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident（自信的） but also to have deep compassion（同情）for others.
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mum gave me will live on.

In nature, you may see many insects (昆虫）and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?
Locusts are super delicious food for birds,but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them.It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are young,locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears,tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil(土壤） in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive,they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over , its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
( ) 36.It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because____________.
A .locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high
C. locusts are smarter than birds D. locusts can change their color

A.do not have bright colors B. change their colors with the soil
C. do not live in a dark and wet environment
D. Eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees
( )38.What’s the meaning of the underlined word”survive” in the passage
A. 繁殖 B. 产卵 C. 觅食 D. 生存
( )39.The ink fish_______so that its enemies will not see it
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black
C. appears only at night D. hides itself in the sea rocks
( )40. What is the main ides of this passage
A. Some insects and animals have different skills.
B. Some insects and animals are clever than we think.

Now, many middle school students face some problems. Many students have too much homework to do. To finish it, they have to stay up late. So they often feel tired and have no spare time for their hobbies. Some students feel lonely because their parents are too busy to stay with them and they don’t have any close friends to talk to. I think they can talk to their parents and teachers about their problems and ask them for help.
Some other students aren’t happy with their weight. To lose weight and keep fit, they need to do more exercise and eat healthy food.
