    You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies moon. For example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.

    When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.

    Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.

(1)、You can see the book because ________ .
A、your eyes are close to it B、it reflects some of the sunlight C、it has light of its own D、your eyesight can get to it
(2)、The underlined word "luminous" means ________ .
A、Visible B、all colors C、giving off light D、sunlight
(3)、Light traces about ________ kilometers per second.
A、380 000 B、300000 C、400000 D、190000
(4)、Which of the following is true?
A、The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes. B、Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon. C、All the things you can see give off light. D、Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.
(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?
A、You can see and read a book because you open your eyes. B、Some objects are luminous, some not. C、You can see things because of light. D、Light travels very fast so you cannot notice it.

How good are you at remembering names, dates, and telephone numbers? It is not easy for all. Remembering things is one of the most interesting functions (功能) of the human brain (大脑). That's why scientists spend so much time studying how it works. 

Studies show that when we learn something new, it stays in our memory (记忆) for 20-30 seconds. This is our short-term memory. Remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper is an example. The opposite of short-term memory is long-term memory, which is where things are stored in the brain for a long time. The brain can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, when studying for an exam, instead of just reading the information once or twice, you might go over your notes again and again until you can remember the important information. 

Dave Farrow is known for his excellent memory. He has been listed twice in Guinness (吉尼斯) World Records for Greatest Memory. As a student, Dave had great difficulties in learning. He found some ways to improve his memory in order to do well in school. Here are some you can try. 

One way is to look at the first letter of each word you want to remember. Then, make your own word or sentence using all of those letters. For example, if you want to remember all the colours in a rainbow, try remembering the name Roy G. Biv. Each letter in this name matches the first letter of a colour:red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Another way is to remember information in groups. For example, when you remember a telephone number, remember three numbers as a group, the next four numbers as a group and the final four numbers as a group. This way, your brain only has to remember three things instead of 11.

If you are interested in improving your memory, apart from using some ways to remember things, there are lots of simple things you can do, like eating healthily, sleeping well and exercising daily. Challenging (挑战) your brain also helps you keep it healthy and active. So, why not start playing mind games, learning a musical instrument or studying a new language?

 阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

A marathon is a long running race of 26. 2 miles(42. 195 kilometres). The first Olympic Marathon was held in Athens. Now,many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the best-known marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon,the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon. Among them, the Boston Marathon which started in 1897, is the oldest yearly marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race. 

Themes of marathons add fun and meaning to the hard miles. Runners run for helping sick kids, celebrating important events, or just enjoying nature. There is a famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, which is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they race along the golden sandy beaches. 

Marathon routes(路线) bring people more understanding of the old sport. Some routes provide great sporting challenges for runners. The routes offer various surfaces, from bridges to sand to hills. Runners of all skill levels can sweat freely and push their limits in the race. Some routes are well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. The race can be an amazing chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local food. 

A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.
