ATemples have existed for thousands of years. They are the proof of cultures and civilization that existed many years ago.

The temple was constructed in the 14th century by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty as his personal temple, where he would pray for good harvest and to make up for the sins of his people. The temple's architecture is quite interesting ： Everything in the temple, which represents heaven, is circular whereas the ground levels, which represent the earth, are square.

Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn't do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Deka's efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,”Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school, ” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”8.From the passage, we can learn that .

Life is not all roses.DA research suggests that speaking more than one language may delay different kinds of dementia(痴呆) that is the loss of mental ability. In fact, researchers say, speaking two languages appears to be more important than the level of education in defending against dementia.A study in India examined the effect of knowing more than one language in delaying the first signs of several dementia. Researchers studied nearly 650 people whose average age was 66. 240 of those studied suffered from Alzheimer's, the most common form of mental decline(下降). 391 of the subjects spoke two or more languages. Researchers found the dementia began about four-and-a-half years later in those who spoke two languages compared to those who spoke only one language. The level of education hadno effect on the age at the first sign of dementia.Thomas Bak, from the Centre of Cognitive Aging at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, who helped to organize the study, suggests that individuals who speak more than one language train their brains by moving back and forth between different words and expressions. He also believes this effort improves what scientists called executive(执行的) functioning, which often weakens in people with dementia. He states that researchers found there was no extra gain in speaking more than two languages.Mr Bak says it does not appear important whether you learn another language at a young age or later in life. It's not something that “you missed the boat when you do not do it as a baby.”It is something that is still quite useful and powerful when you do it as an adult.12.The finding of the study is that .A.learning more than one language can cure dementiaB.the level of education matters in defending against dementiaC.speaking two languages may delay kinds of dementiaD.people who suffer from dementia will lose mental ability13.The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 refers to “”.A.notices that were put on about the studyB.people who were studied in the studyC.questions that were asked in the studyD.methods that were used in the study14.According to Mr Bak, .A.when you learn one more language makes no differenceB.people's executive functioning often strengthens with ageC.the more languages one speaks, the less chance of getting dementiaD.it is much easier to learn one more language at a young age15.This passage may probably be seen in .A. a research planB. a business magazineC. a book reviewD. a health magazine第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
