In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand （木架） with a small notepad （计事本） and a hole for a pencil.

Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil， five houses later， the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern， but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.

“Im just amazed you still have the same stand after all these years. You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen？” I say to my mother. She replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea， and I was always in the kitchen in those days.”

Immediately I can picture her， hair wild， blue housecoat covered in flour， a wooden spoon in one hand， the pencil in the other， her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says， “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline， and I had a brilliant thought， but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”

This story reminds me how extraordinary my mother was， and is， as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later， when my mother is in the bathroom， I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough， on the back of the smallest one， are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years， rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard， invisible exhibits at every meal.

4. What is the writers original opinion on the wooden stand？

A. It has great value for the family.

B. It should be passed on to her children.

C. It needs to be replaced by a better one.

D. It brings her back to the lonely childhood.

We’ve all been in a situation where we ask our friend to the restaurant for lunch and find ourselves waiting at a table alone. We look around the room， notice all the other customers dining with someone， and suddenly become insecure that were alone. Instead of starting a conversation with someone， we rush to grab our phones and stare at the screen until we are finally rescued by our late friend.

Long gone are the days when we start a conversation with the person next to us while sitting on the subway during the morning or evening commute. However， small talk， as well as the willingness to engage （参与） in it， is very important.

When humans engage in small talk， it actually provides a feeling of happiness. Those who socially interact are likely to increase their happiness and health， while others who shy away from social interaction are reported to feel disappointed and unhealthy， according to The Huffington Post. And small talk not only keeps us feeling happy and healthy， but teaches us how to stay calm in situations that we might not normally find ourselves in. Instead of feeling anxious and nervous， starting a conversation with people you don’t know helps calm the nerves and provides a feeling of inclusion. An unfamiliar event with people you don’t know suddenly becomes gratifying.

But perhaps the most important reason why everyone should learn to engage in small talk is that it teaches us how to listen and truly form relationships. By asking a stranger some questions and showing interest in them， it helps establish new relationships， whether they are personal or business-related.

You should learn how to connect with someone and identify with people you don’t know. So next time you’re alone in a public place， try to reach out to others and start a conversation. It’s really not that hard.

8. Paragraph 1 suggests nowadays we tend to be ___ .

A. anxious about being single

B. addicted to smart phones

C. impatient with late friends

D. unwilling to communicate with strangers

9. What does the underlined word “gratifying” in Paragraph 3

mean？

A. Typical.   B. Peaceful.

C. Enjoyable.   D. Instructive.

10. How many benefits of small talk are mentioned in the text？

A. Two.   B. Three.

C. Four.   D. Five.

11. What does the writer think most valuable for taking small talk？

A. Learning some social skills.

B. Avoiding negative emotions.

C. Developing new relationships.

D. Having more people to turn to.

D

Mosquitoes （蚊子） have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably， mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy （发痒的） wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases， including Dengue， yellow fever and malaria.

Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.

Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas， which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.

But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects， with even smaller brains， use three senses to find a blood meal.

Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.

Then， the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter- colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said， at first， the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all.

“What was quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and walls of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2 ， they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs （斑点）.”

This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal， they also follow visual signals.

12. What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets？

A. Sense of smell.   B. Sense of touch.

C. Sense of sight.    D. Smart brains.

13. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the

Experiment is ___ .

A. to fly to the dark ones

B. to take no notice of them

C. to catch and stick to them

D. to attach themselves to them

14. How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according?

to the text？

A. Try to keep away from them.

B. Use dark objects to stop them.

C. Let they fly back and forth for hours.

D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.

15. What can be the best title for the text？

A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive？

B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood？

C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You？

D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being？?
