Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and presents, she would warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for m y parents to make us happy. In years past, we had a lot of presents here and there, taking over the living room.On Christmas morning, we nervously waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wr apping paper fly. “Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, confused. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it had not been mine. It was my mom’s. A new label (标签) had been put on it, with my name written in my mother’s handwriting.“Mom, I can’t…”I was stopped by my mother’s eager, joyful look—a look I could not really understand. “Let’s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.”It was a blow dryer. Though this may seem a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was stunned. In my world, where receiving outweighed giving, my mom’s act of selflessness was incomprehensible. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas so I could have a few more presents.I have always remembered that Christmas. It had such an effect on me. As a mother with children in my life whom I love, I can now understand my mom’s actions because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom’s simple act meant the world to me.( )21. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The author wanted very much to get Christmas presents this year.B.

Next, are you going with a group? There is nothing more impressive than seeing a group of people dressed in theme. Lastly, do you have a favorite movie? We have plenty of movie disguises for you to choose from, like Star Trek, Alice in Wonderland, or Wizard of Oz.With a selection as large as ours, even your dog can enjoy this especially hallow night. You can turn your friend into Spider-Man, Superman, and countless other choices. If you already have your outfit picked out for yourself, search for a dog outfit that will match your own.

This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re on an empty stomach.Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We b elieve that it identifies the value of foods ---how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.( )31. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is importantB. it’s easy to lose weigh t without breakfastC. there’s no need to have good food for supperD. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter( )32. Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?A. It is part of our brain.B. It tells people to eat breakfast.C. It decides which food we like.D.

Which is the correct order for the experiment on the first day?① The volunteers skipped breakfast.② The volunteers had lunch.③ The volunteers had a brain scan.A.①②③B.③②①C.①③②D.③①②( )34.
