• 1．Anaya Elick was born without hands-she has stubs（殘端）where most people's wrists begin.
     To hold a pencil，she must balance it between her wrists，then use her arms to push it along the page.But that didn't stop her from winning a national handwriting contest when she was in first grade.
     In the two years since，she has taken on greater challenges.Last week，she won another national handwriting contest，this one for cursive（草書）.And by all accounts from her teachers at Greenbrier Christian Academy，she has become an accomplished artist.
     Anaya isn't one to boast about her successes.She unwillingly says they make her proud but adds that they come from "lots of practice".
     Her friends at school said，"She inspires everybody by what she does and how she does it".No one wants child to fail，and raising one who was born with a disability can heighten that protective instinct.Before Anaya was born，doctors knew about her condition，although not its cause.Other than having no hands，she is a regular 9-year-old girl.
     "Anaya succeeds because she is not afraid to fail"，Middleton said.The two began practicing cursive last year，when Anaya was in second grade.She struggled sometimes，because unlike traditional penmanship，which allows for breaks after each letter，cursive words are written straight through-and added effort for someone who must balance rather than hold the pencil.
     Middleton could see her daughter thinking through the challenge，figuring out how she could do better.She'd get frustrated at times，but she never hesitated to do things as often as it took to get them right.
     "I don't think I've ever heard Anaya say I can't do something，" Middleton said.
     That attitude carries over to her other interests.
     Recently，Anaya and her classmates sat in Cheryl Leader's art room，working on an exercise.The goal was to get them thinking about different concepts，like color combinations and how an image can be formed by fully coloring inside straight and diagonal lines.
  
  （1）How did she make her writing？

  
  A．by hand
  B．with her arms
  C．with her wrists

  （2）Why did Anaya's mother say being a parent can be scary？

  
  A．Because she doesn't want her child to fail.
  B．Because she love her child very much.
  C．Because raising one who was born with a disability can be a burden.
  D．Because she wants to protect her child from failing.
  （3）According to the passage，what kind of person do you think Anaya is？

  
  A．Brave，hard-working and proud.
  B．Brave，warm-hearted and kind.
  C．Brave，diligent and modest.

  B．A special artist.

• 2．As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，are people remember less？If you know your computer will save information，why store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
     In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment，they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.
     In another experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder（文件夾）.Surprisingly，people later remember the folder location（位置）better than the facts.When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information.Rather，they remember how to find it.This is called "transactive memory（交互記憶）".
     According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead，computer users are developing stronger transactive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
  
  （1）The passage begins with two questions to

  .
  A．introduce the main topic
  B．show the author's attitude
  C．describe how to use the Internet
  D．explain how to store information
  （2）What can we learn about the first experiment？

  
  A．Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
  B．The two groups remembered the information equally well.
  C．The first group did not try to remember the formation.
  D．The second group did not understand the information.
  （3）In transactive memory，people

  .
  A．keep the information in mind
  B．change the quantity of information
  C．organize information like a computer
  D．remember how to find the information

• 3．I am an e-mail user.When I first started to use the e-mail system，I used to read all my e-mail.I didn't have much mail.I gave my friends my e-mail address.Soon I had more mail than I wanted.Some of the mail was junk mail.I was worried.I didn't want my mail to control me.
     I've tried some methods to help me get control of my mail.First，I check my mail at the same time every day.Also I try to allow myself only 15～20 minutes every day to process my e-mail.This doesn't always work，but I try.Sometimes I save the messages.Sometimes I just read them，maybe answer a few，and then delete（刪除）them.
     Sometimes I'm not at all interested in a message，so I don't even open it.I delete it right away.This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home.
     These methods are very simple.I have some friends who are very clever with computers.From time to time，they teach me new tricks for managing my email.I'm still amazed at what e-mail can do for me!I'm still worried，however，about having too much to read.

      The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud，but he soon realized this time it was different.
      "Quick!Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop." someone shouted.Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate，a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
      Jane，who had been playing the violin in her room，hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor （走廊） through the smoke.
      They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing，but he followed her.
      Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them，who they called Makcik.Jane began banging on Makcik's door，but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them，Tom could see many of their neighbors-some still in their pajamas（睡衣）-running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
      "She would have run for safety like everyone else！" Tom cried.However，Jane refused to give up."I know Makcik's still inside." She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded against the door."Go downstairs.Go now!Go！"
  Paragraph 1：
      Tom noticed the flame （火焰） was reaching up.___________.
  Paragraph 2：
      Luckily，some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.___________.
