AWe all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body‘s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say ―She‘s the brains in the family.‖ And if you are the brains behind an organization, you are responsible for developing or organizing it.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase ―brain trust‖ became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S. These professors were called his ―brain trust.‖These ways we use the word ―brain‖ all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word ―drain‖. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, a brain drain is when a countr y‘s most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a good way.21．According to the text, if you‘re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called_______ .A．the organ of Bai Du B．the brain drain of Bai DuC．the brains behind Bai Du D．Bai Du‘s brain trust22．Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election according to the passage?A．Because he was the brain trust of Americans.B．Because he got his brain trust.C．Because he was smart at giving advice.D．Because word experts say he is ―the brain trust‖.23．Which of the following expressions is always used in an impolite way?A．Brainstorm B．Brain trustC．Brainwash D．Brain drain24．What‘s the main idea of this article？A．The origin of the word ―brain‖.B．The word ―brain‖ and its stories.C．The brain is an important organ of the body.D．How to use your brain more effectively.BOne Halloween a little boy and his friend went out for a fun night of trick-or-treating. At first everything was great. They were getting lots of candy as they went from house to house, but then they saw a house which they hadn't been to before. It was a very spooky(阴森森的) house. Being young and brave, they decided to go up to the door and knock. After all, scary houses might have the best candy!As they walked up the long winding path, they saw things that chilled（使恐惧）them to the bone! They heard sounds that frightened them. Maybe they should turn back.But the little boys, being very brave, just wanted to see what was in that house. so they went on, not deterred by the things they heard or saw. As they slowly made their way up to the door, they imagined what might be inside. Maybe it would be a witch or maybe a ghost!After knocking several times, the door slowly creaked:（嗄吱作响) open. To their surprise, a monster(怪物) slowly came out to greet them. They were .so scared that they couldn't move! What could they do? Then the little boy had an idea. He said, "Trick or treat!" Then the big scary monster, much to the kids' surprise, reached over and brought out a huge bowl of the best candies they had never seen. Wow, the kids thought, this was great!It turned out that the house was decorated for Hallow-en; and the big scary monster was just wearing a costume, just like the kids. Since they were the only kids, and were brave enough to go to the scary house, they could take as much candy as they wanted.25. This passage is mainly about .A. a funny Halloween storyB. two brave kidsC. a spooky houseD. the custom of Halloween26. Why do you think the kids were brave enough to enter the strange house?A. Because they were prepared for what would come to the door.B. Because they expected to meet other trick-or-treating inside.C. Because they were curious about what was in the house.D. Because they were anxious to get more candy.27. According to the passage, we can see that .A. nobody had ever been to the houseB. the owner of the house was creativeC. a monster lived in the houseD. there was a witch in the house28. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the monster was afraid of the phrase "trick or treat"B. the two kids were also wearing costumesC. not all families prepared candy for brave kidsD. some other children had been to the house before the two kidsCI first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer‘s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.―I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a hand out,‖ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typicall y don‘t feel good about going there.―One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,‖ she said. ―Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.‖The successful cafés not only solve hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood –whether it‘s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn‘t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.29. What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer?A. She enjoyed a meal.B.

People can maintain their dignity.C. People can stay as long as they like.D. People can find their places in society.31. Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods?A. They bring people true friendships.B. They help to bring people together.C. They create a lot of job opportunities.D. They support local economic development.32. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Café?A. It paid well.B. It changed her.C. It was beneficial.D. It was easy for her.DAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic（恐慌）！You will deal successfully with them！You are a young adult now!With more responsibility，you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed（知晓）about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine！Work hard and the right opportunity will present（展现）itself to you.Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life's journey and there will be some people with whom you part（分离）and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you makefrom now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!33. The best title for this passage would be ________.A. The Choices in LifeB. The Key to SuccessC. Say Goodbye to the PastD. Becoming a Young Adult34.Who do the underlined words “some people” (Paragraph 4) probably mean?A. your parentsB. your classmatesC. true friends D．your relatives35.
