They all became worried and started to make excuses.“I must go and mend the machine.” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do so he just jumped out.The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to take part in an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.Two men were left(留了下来), an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was go ing down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but you’re still young.

You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once(一旦) you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?“Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts(想法) stop you from getting your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step(一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream.There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will bring you better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills(技能) and find new interests.6．“Follow Your Heart” is __________.A.

You couldn't understand a film, because you need to hold the first part of the story in your mind in order to understand the later parts. You wouldn't be able to recognize anyone - even members of your own family. You would live in a present forever. You would have no past and you wouldn't be able to imagine a future.Human beings have amazing memories. Besides all our memories about our own lives, we can recall （回忆）between 20,000 and 100,000 words in our own language as well as possibly thousands more in a foreign language. We have all kinds of information about different subjects such as history, science, and geography, and we have many skills such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument. All these things depend on our memory.How well you remember things depends on many different factors. Firstly, some people have better memories than others, in just the same way as some people are taller than others. Secondly, research shows that, you can store different things in different parts of the brain. Ideas, words, and numbers are stored in the left—hand side, while the right-hand side remembers pictures, sounds, and smells. In most people, one side of the brain is more developed than the other, and this may explain why some people can remember people's faces easily, but can't remember their names.（1）What does "store" mean in the last paragraph?A. 保存B. 翻译C. 吸收D. 隐藏（2）What does the first paragraph talk about?A. How to keep memory better.B. How the life would be without memory.C. How brain works to keep memory.D. How to remember things.（3）What can we learn from this passage?A.

People can remember words when they are using their right-hand brain.（4）Where can we probably read the passage?A. In an advertisement.B. In a storybook.C. In a magazine.D. In a news report.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】主要讲了记忆对人类的重要性，介绍了记忆在大脑不同区域的储存及记忆好取决于不同的因素。
