Claw machines(娃娃机) are very common in shopping centers or movie theaters. You might get your favorite toy after paying some coins. It seems to be a low-cost game and the game rules are easy to understand for most people. So many children, young people and even some old people like to play on the claw machine, again and again.

However, simple rules and easy-to-use machines do not mean everyone can easily win a prize. You may watch your toy being caught but suddenly dropping at the last second. There are some reasons why people like claw machines, even though they may face many difficulties.

For quite a few Buddhist(佛系的) players, they play on claw machines to deal with stress. They pay so much attention to this game that they forget their trouble from daily life. No matter what the result is, they enjoy the process.

Some people say they enjoy the sense of achievement when they catch a prize from a claw machine. They take pride in managing to do what most people cannot. People around the machine also express their congratulations and admiration for winners.

Toys from a claw machine have far more meaning than what you can buy in a nearby store. They can also be good gifts for the ones you love. It is a great way to show effort and consideration since winning a prize from a claw machine requires time and money, as well as skills.

Playing on the claw machine can be a fun memory. What do you think of it?

26. What does the underlined sentence mean?

 A. It is almost impossible to win a prize.

 B. Everyone enjoys playing on the claw machine.

 C. Not everyone can catch a toy from a claw machine easily.

27. Paragraph 2 is used for _______.

 A. providing the best way to win the game

 B. giving an example in people’s daily life

 C. connecting the paragraph above with the following ones

28. The Buddhist players will probably think the game is _______ if they don’t catch the toy.

 A. boring  B. relaxing  C. challenging

29. What can we know from the article?

 A. Claw machines are popular with people of all ages.

 B. To win a prize in the game doesn’t need skills but time.

 C. People have to spend much time understanding the game.

30. The writer mainly wants to tell us _______.

 A. the toys as gifts from stores nearby are meaningless

 B. no matter how easy or hard the game is, it brings us a lot of fun

 C. getting the sense of achievement in the game is just a piece of cake

D

Everybody has a brain. Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk(盘) of a computer. We use it to store pictures, language (words, texts, sounds) and so on. Others compare the brain to a huge cupboard(橱柜) with lots of shelves and boxes in it. We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.

The brain is not a computer disk, and it isn’t a cupboard. Look at the picture here. It looks a bit like weeds(杂草) in a garden, doesn’t it? The picture actually shows a child’s neocortex(大脑新皮质), which controls sight(视觉) and hearing. You can guess what happens — more “weeds” grow as the child gets older. Scientists call these neuronal networks(神经元网络). The networks grow around our neurons. What makes them grow? Learning! “Learning is brain change,” says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. “Without learning, nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in math, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”

The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember. You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better. Professor Zull says yes, there is. He says that brain change is the strongest in the following situations:

• You are interested in and like what you are learning;

• You are in control of what you learn;

• You get challenging tasks that make you think hard.

Choose a right way to learn something, and you may develop your brain better than you think.

31. The writer mainly talked about _______ in Paragraph 1.

 A. what a brain is made up of

 B. how a brain changes

 C. what people think a brain is

32. Our brain changes when we _______.

 A. learn languages  B. have problems  C. enjoy songs

33. The growth of _______ changes children’s brains.

 A. neuronal networks  B. weeds in a garden  C. size of brain

34. Who may have the strongest change in the brain?

 A. Lucy who is interested in art has to study science hard.

 B. Sam who tries to work out a difficult math problem.

 C. Tom who is riding falls off his bike.

35. The best title for the passage is “_______”.

 A. Learning is Brain Change

 B. Choosing a Right Way to Learn

 C. Thinking Better, Remembering Better

阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

A spider has hundreds of small openings in its body. Silk comes out of these openings as a liquid(液体). 36. __________________ These tiny threads come together to form a single thread.

The spider can make many different kinds of threads. The thread can be thick or thin, wet or dry, or sticky. 37. __________________ Some webs create an egg box. Others provide hiding places. The most common purpose of a spider web, however, is to catch food.

38. __________________ For example, some spiders produce a single thread. An insect then sits on it without realizing what it is doing, and becomes stuck(卡住的). Slowly, the spider moves towards the insect. Suddenly, it covers its food in silk. Some spiders use a different kind of trick. They make webs that cheat insects. 39. __________________ It then lands on the web. The spider can feel even the smallest movement of the web, and rushes at the insect before it can get away.

Spider webs are so amazing that engineers have been studying them for years. 40. __________________ However, for the moment, spiders are keeping their secrets. Although they have made great progress in science and technology, humans still haven’t been able to copy natural webs.

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toy weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影戏偶) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.

Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that use puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴奏) by music and singing. It was invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC—AD 24). It tells us about folk tales and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.

Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county(县), Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.

Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets including washing the leather, carving(雕刻) and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.

“We have a special carving skill — moving the leather under the knife.” Wang said. It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖) to make her left hand more powerful while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complex(复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.

But Wang has found ways to do so. In recent years, she has made shadow puppets about traditional cartoons and given livestreaming(网络直播) performances. “I hope more and more young people enjoy shadow puppetry and pass it down,” she said.

41. What are shadow puppets made from?

42. Is shadow puppetry only about making the puppets?

43. Where was shadow puppetry born?

44. Why is it so difficult for people to pass down shadow puppetry?

45. How does Wang Haiyan hand down the folk art of shadow puppets?

For   53   years I have still remembered it though I have never spoken of it before. But if   54   I have told you will stop you, I will be happy.”
