Next fall when you see geese heading south for the winter or flying in “ V” formation (隊形), you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way.

As each bird spreads its wings,it creates an uplift (上升力) for bird immediately following. By flying in “ V” formation the whole flock (鳥群) adds at least 71% greater flying range, than if each bird flies on its own. People who share a common direction arid sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust (推動力) of one another.

When a goose falls out of the formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are. When the head goose gets tired, it flies backwards and another goose flies point. It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs, whether it is with people or with geese flying south.

Geese honk (雁叫) from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. What do we say when we honk from behind?

Finally and this is important, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshots, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group. If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.

1.The first three paragraphs chiefly deal with .

A. scientific discovery about geese.

B. the importance of flight formation.

C. the advantages of “V” formation.

D. the reasons for geese’s flight.

2.The phrase which can best replace “stand by” in the last sentence is “ ”.

A. be against. B. support.

C. sit by. D. obey.

3.What does the author want us to learn from the geese?

A. Teamwork. B. Sympathy.

C. Kindness. D. Intelligence.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed(診所) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for

me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis

(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.

Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.

He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.

“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”

Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(碼頭) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.

When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.

Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.

The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”

1.Why was Duret in New York?

A. To meet his girlfriend. B. To spend his holiday.

C. To work as an engineer. D. To visit the Andersons.

2.What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?

A. He was interviewed by a newspaper.

B. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.

D. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.

B. Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.

Tips for Staying Sharp

It’s not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you’re feeling a bit sluggish(遲鈍的)when it comes to remembering things. If you’re worried about your forgetfulness, try out these five tips to stay sharp.

1.

You’ve probably heard the term “you are what you eat.” If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy. But if you decide to eat fruits, vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you’ll find that you’re full of energy.

Never stop learning

Challenge yourself constantly---whether it is puzzles, reading, cooking or other tasks that will keep your mind working. If your mind is always learning new things and active, you’ll realize that it’s much easier for you to learn new things and to function.2.

Stay fit

Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp.3.If you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks. However, if you put forth the effort into being health then your body will expel(釋放)the energy you need to achieve your goals.

Ensure enough sleep

Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis.4.It also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions.

Socialize more

5. Social interaction will help you develop multitasking, problem solving and other skills that are necessary in life to keep your mind sharp.

A. Feed your brain

B. Avoid eating too much

C. Your body will only give you what you put into it

D. Lack of sleep contributes to tiredness and slow reaction

E. Conversations require individuals to stay aware and active

F. According to studies, sleep helps strengthen and recover your memories

G. Remember you brain is a muscle and if you want to get the most out of it, you must use it
