阅读理解

    The human brain is divided into two sides, or hemispheres, called the right brain and the left brain. The two hemispheres work together, but each one specializes in certain ways of thinking.

    Each side has its own way of using information to help us think, understand, and process informa—tion.The left side of the brain controls language. It is more verbal and logical. It names things and puts them into groups. It uses rules and likes ideas to be clear, logical, and orderly. It is best at speech, reading, writing, and math. You use this side of the brain when you memorize spelling and grammar rules or when you do a math problem.

    The right side of the brain is more visual and creative. It specializes in using information it receives from the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. This side of the brain likes to dream and experiment. It controls your appreciation of music, color, and art. You use this side when you draw a picture or listen to music.Although we all use both sides of our brains, one side is usually stronger or dominant. Some people are more “left—brained,” and others are more “right—brained”. Our dominant side influ—ences the kinds of jobs and hobbies we have. Politicians, artists, architects, and musicians depend on their right brains. Accountants, engineers, doctors, and lawyers usually rely on their left brains.

(1)、What can we know from the passage?
A、When we speak, we use right side of the brain. B、Right side of the brain is stronger than left side. C、We use right side of the brain to do a math problem. D、Each side of the human brains work in its own way.

Have you ever experienced hui nan tian, or lasting humid (潮湿的) weather? Hui nan tian is a special weather phenomenon (现象) in southern China. It normally appears in spring when temperatures begin to warm up and humidity quickly increases. Before it arrives, there have usually been a few cold days, with a temperature below 12℃. As the cold air goes away, warmer air quickly comes and the temperature rises, creating a lot of water vapor. Small water droplets can be seen on windows and walls. 

During hui nan tian, the humid weather makes it easy for bacteria (细菌) to grow. Food goes bad easily, clothes stay wet, and sofas can get moldy. Electrical equipment like televisions may break down when they get wet inside, which can be dangerous for people when turning them on. It can also make people feel tired and sick. Catching a cold is common during this time. 

To cut down on the trouble caused by the lasting humid weather, scientists suggest that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening, especially those facing south and southeast. At the same time, they should use an air conditioner to dry the room instead of mopping floors. It's also useful to put newspapers on the floor, on tables, and at the door to take in water and wet air.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

What do you usually do when you get mad? Some people choose to shout out, throw things or kick walls. And some would like to lock themselves in a room and refuse to talk to anyone. In fact, there is a better way to calm down and let go of your anger. 

Some researchers did an interesting study. They wanted to see how different methods would affect people's levels(程度)of anger. The researchers asked about 100 students from a college to write down their thoughts on an important social problem. They told the students what they wrote would be evaluated(评价). Then the researchers gave each student a bad review that read, "I can't believe a college student would think like this. "That made the students mad as the researchers had expected. 

At the same time, the researchers checked all the students' anger levels and asked them to write down their feelings on a piece of paper. Then half of the students were told to throw the paper into the rubbish bins. The rest were asked to place the paper on their desks. 

When the researchers checked the students' levels of anger again, they discovered something fun. Those who put the paper on the desks showed little reduction(减少)in anger. But those who threw the paper in the rubbish bins were less angry. Actually, their anger levels were almost back to where they were before the study. 

When you get angry, try writing down your feelings on a piece of paper and then throw it away. You may feel as if you're throwing away your anger.
