    What are the limits(极限) of human body? The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.

    How cold can you stand?

    Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you’re unable to write your name. Even walking is very difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form(形成) opinions properly. By the time you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating.

    Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues(纤维组织), killing all the cells.

    How spicy can you eat?

    There is capsaicin(辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you’re healthy enough, you can survive(存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat anything else for a few hours.

    Limit: 5g capsaicin.

    How fast can you run?

    The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This gives an average(平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h.

    Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner’s greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h.

    Limit: 43.06km/h.

    How loud is too loud?

    The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB(分贝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa(卡拉卡托火山爆发) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km away.

    Limit: 168 dB

    Father’s Day has a very short history. It started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses(商人) found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers, a present from their shops.
    By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though（虽然） some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do --- buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present --- not for her father but for her husband, even if（即使） he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
    The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
    阅读短文，判断正误，正确的用“T”，错误的用“F”：
    【小题1】Father’s Day started just because businesses wanted to get a lot of money.
    【小题2】 The word “special” in the second paragraph means “not usual”.
    【小题3】 In America, people have a Father’s Day to show their love for their fathers.
    【小题4】 On Father’s Day, businesses always want people to buy as many as presents.
    【小题5】It can be learned from the passage that Father’s Day will become more important than Mother’s Day.

    阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）

    Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying.    1   .

    If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on(关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard.   2   , but they may repeat them.

    Don’t try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.

    Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you’re missed. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

    Comparing (对比) your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning.   3   .

    Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

       4  . If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.

    A.It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes

    B. It isn’t interesting but you may find it very useful.

    C. However, most students don’t know how to take notes.

    D. Good note-taking takes time.

    E. Other teachers may not write anything down
