BOne peaceful afternoon, I open a photo album. I turn to a photo of a nice old man I had the
honor to meet once. The memories rush back. That old man was not only kind. but also a legend. lie
was once one of the glorious "Flying Tigers".
The "Flying Tigers" were also known as the American Volunteer Group. They served in China
before the United States officially got involved in World War II. They fought bravely for us against
the Japanese. Only a few of them are still alive.
Louis T. Sneddon was a tail gunner and assistant engineer with the 14th Air Force near
Kunming.
I expected to meet a serious man, but in fact Louis was kind and always smiled at me.
"I'm happy to be back in your home after 60 years. China has been in my heart although far
away," he said to me.
I was astonished when he told me his story. He finished 30 to 40 flying tasks, with over 900
hours of flight time. The main task was to patrol( 巡 逻 )and attack ships moving between Japan,
China and the Pacific islands. Bomb runs would fly low under the radar,drop their bombs and fly
over the ships. These were considered to be the most dangerous missions of the war
"Were you ever afraid?" I asked.
"I don't know. Well, I didn't think much about it. I just…did it," he said, with a smile on his
face. “But I was fortunate. The 10-member crew of my plane all returned alive.”
He was badly wounded, but he did not report his wounds and kept flying. His bravery and spirit
deeply moved me, while his personality taught me a life-lesson.
"Make every day count." His words ring in my mind. But the important thing I learnt from him
was that we need to overcome our fear. Sometimes we think too much about the consequences, when
we should really breathe deeply and take the brave, necessary step.
24. When did the "Flying Tigers" serve in China?
A. When World War II broke out.
B. Before the US was formally drawn into World War II.
C. When America got the final victory in World War II.
D. After China declared war against Japan.
25. Which of the following is TRUE about Louis T. Sneddon's main task?
A. It was extremely difficult and dangerous. B. Louis T. Sneddon had to fly for 900 hours in this task
C. No one but Louis T. Sneddon survived in this task.
D. Louis T. Sneddon was slightly wounded in this task.
26. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Tiger of a Man B. A Photo Album
C. Flying Tasks D. The American Volunteer Group
27. What was the intention of the author to write this passage?
A. To memorize a brave soldier. B. To tell us a lesson of being optimistic.
C. To share his experience with us D. To appeal for peace forever.

Science News
Tool to crow about
New Caledonian crows, birds with surprising and impressive abilities, seem to use tools
constantly, not just when they're trying to get food. Oxford researchers report that New Caledonian
crows use sticks to poke(戳)at new and potentially threatening objects, providing the first evidence
that birds use tools for more than just finding food. Of the 10 crows tested in the experiment. four
used sticks to poke at and explore a rubber spider(蜘蛛), a flashing bicycle light and other items that
they had never seen before,the scientists report online in Animal Cognition. Checking out possible
threats without making direct contact may benefit curious birds like crows.
Apes(猿)show handedness
Contrary to earlier reports, ape species, including chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, show
humanlike hand preferences when handling objects. Chimpanzees and gorillas favored the right hand
and orangutans the left hand, a team led by psychologist William Hopkins of Agnes Scott College,
found in a study to appear in the Journal of Human Evolution. Hopkins and his colleagues observed
which hand 777 apes used to reach peanut butter inside a long tube. He wants to explore reasons for
orangutans' left-handedness. No human societies exist in which the majority of individuals are
left-handed,and neither are there societies in which left-handedness is completely absent.
Plants go downhill
Researchers looking uphill for biological responses to climate change may be missing species
moving downhill, say researchers from California. Plant species do move, as seeds that are spread tend to grow better in one place than in another. As temperatures rise,some species could. or already
do, move uphill to find the kind of cool spots they're used to. But the best elevation(高度)for a plant
to maintain its water balance can shift with climate change. Comparing survey and climate records
from the 1930s and the present day for 64 California plant species, the best water-
balancing elevation shifted downhill more often than up, the scientists report in Science.
28. What was the crows' purpose in using sticks?
A. To move objects. B. To find some food.
C. To threaten a spider. D. To avoid possible danger.
29. What does the underlined "Apes show handedness" imply?
A. Apes prefer to use one hand rather than the other.
B. Apes prefer to use the right hand like humans.
C. Apes tend to use their hands to handle objects.
D. Apes use their hands for different purposes.
30. According to the text,what causes plant species to move uphill?
A. Their water needs. B. Climate records. C. Global warming. D. The low elevation
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Scientific discoveries B. Scientific experiments.
C. Scientific approaches. D. Scientific theories
D
Before dipping your hand into that bowl of M&Ms(一种巧克力豆)at the holiday party, think
about what you're about to do. A lot. A new study finds that people who imagine themselves
consuming many pieces of candy eat less of the real thing when given the chance.
Picturing a delicious food-like a juicy steak or an ice cream sundae-generally whets(刺激)the
appetite. But what about visualizing yourself eating the entire sundae, spoonful by spoonful?
There's reason to think that might have the opposite effect, says Carey Morewedge, a
psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University. Researchers have found that repeated exposure to a
particular food-as in taking bite after bite of it-decreases the desire to consume more. But no one had
looked to see whether merely imagining eating has the same effect.
To find out , Morewedge and his colleagues fed M&Ms and cheese cubes to 50 university
students. In one experiment, the participants first imagined performing 33 repetitive motions(动作): Half of them imagined eating 30 M&Ms and inserting three quarters into the slot of a laundry
machine. The other half imagined eating three M&Ms and inserting 30 quarters. Then everyone was
allowed to eat their fill from a bowl of M&Ms. It was reported that those who'd imagined eating
more candy ate about three M&Ms on average, while the others ate about five M&Ms.
The researchers then extended their findings to another food group-cheese. As in the M&M
experiment, people who imagined eating 30 cheese cubes consumed less of the real thing. But
volunteers who imagined eating 30 M&Ms ate the same amount of cheese as those who imagined
eating three M&Ms. Thus, the effect is specific to the type of food imagined.
The findings should have practical applications, says Morewedge. One possible strategy for
weight watchers might be to spend a few minutes before each meal imagining eating exactly the
foods they're about to consume, he says.
Although he is planning follow-up studies to investigate the potential of imagined consumption
for helping people control their appetite, Morewedge says he's not planning to experiment on himself
over the holidays. “I really enjoy my mother's cooking,” he says.
32. What did Morewedge and his colleagues want to find out with the first experiment?
A. Whether imagining eating would lead to weight loss.
B. Whether imagining eating would reduce appetite.
C. Whether picturing a delicious food would whet appetite.
D. Whether repeated exposure to food would reduce appetite.
33. What does the underlined part "the others" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Those who imagined eating 30 M&Ms.
B. Those who imagined eating three M&Ms.
C. Those who didn't participate in the experiment.
D. Those who didn't imagine eating M&Ms
34. According to the findings from the experiment, which of the following may make you eat less?
A. Imagining eating any kind of food.
B. Imagining eating at least two kinds of food
C. Imagining eating as many kinds of food as possible.
D. Imagining eating the same kind of food you will eat.
35. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to Control Your Appetite B. Imagining Eating M&Ms: A Way to Lose Weight
C. To Eat Less, Imagine Eating More D. The Less You Imagine. the More You Eat

School bus drivers transport kids to and from school. 36 Along with their transportation
duties, bus drivers commonly assume other roles in the school district.

have responsibility for the conduct of students on their buses. 38 Monitoring student behavior
and stopping any horseplay are immediate duties. In some cases, students are assigned(分配)scats in
the front of the bus if they have regular behavioral problems
39 This includes regular checks on brakes, tires, turning signals and mechanical(机械
的)equipment. School districts often have regular daily checklists whereby drivers must confirm that
they have checked on various safety items. If problems are detected with any of these components,
the bus is normally taken in for repair work and the driver uses an alternative bus until his normal
one is ready to go again.
Each day, school bus drivers have to log(记录)a variety of activities. 40 They also log the
miles they drive on their routes. Additionally, drivers make notes when fuel is filled and the amount.
These daily logs help ensure accuracy in routes.
A. It's extremely important.
B. They are usually tasked with clean-up duty.
C. It's really hard to control kids' on-bus behavior.
D. They report the number of riders on their buses.
E. They also take school sports teams and other groups on trips.
F. Regular drivers are responsible for monitoring the safety of their buses.
