    A primary school bus driver stopped the bus in a gas station in Ohio because he had to use the bathroom. Instead of turning off the engine (引擎) and taking the key with him, the driver left the bus running. And he forgot to set the brake (制动器) because he was in a hurry. “It was cold outside, and I didn’t want the kids to get cold while I was using the bathroom,” he told a police officer.
    The bus slowly started moving away from the gas station. As the bus picked up speed, the kids began shouting and crying. Ten-year-old Jake ran forward to the driver’s seat and held the steering wheel (方向盘). He pressed hard on the brake pedal (踏板) and managed to stop the bus as it came nearer to a river bed. Jake turned off the engine at last. After the police arrived at the scene, they praised Jake for his great effort.
    “That is one cool kid,” said the police officer. “I told him he would make a great police officer when he grew up.”
    Jake wasn’t impressed with what he had done. “Stopping the bus,” he said, “was easy compared to playing Grand Theft Auto III,” his favorite action video game. The bus driver was taken to the police station. He was at first charged (指控) with “leaving a child alone while motor is running.” The lawyer said he hoped to upgrade the charge because of the number of children (twenty) on the bus.
    “Whatever he is charged with,” the police officer said, “I will see that he never drives a bus again.”

    A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
    The boy asked, "Daddy, how much do you make per hour?" The father was furious at his son's question.
    When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked his father to lend $10 to him. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son.
    The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.

    "Oh, thank you, Daddy!" He said. Then, he reached under his pillow, pulled out some crumpled coins and said, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

    Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are winked when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
    If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or on the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
    To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.
    The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not.
    Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say.
    Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestor’s need to run on wet ground.
    But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling has its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
    小题1:What does the underlined world “this ” in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.
    B．Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.
    C．Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.
    D．Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.
    小题2:The test shows that ________.
    A．winkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do.
    B．dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
    C．winkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do.
    D．dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
    小题3:What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?
    A．They are too sensitive to be touched.
    B．They might be more likely to get hurt.
    C．They cannot hold things tightly enough.
    D．They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.

    阅读下面短文，回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
    Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces tears because they need them. One kind of tears is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰尘) gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something, your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals(毒素) in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If these poisonous chemicals are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later.
    In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(压力) of living and working now. Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.
    In fact, you can find many ways of reducing the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural and physical one.
    小题1:How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce?
    小题2:What do tears do when dust gets into your eye?
    小题3:Will the poisonous chemicals in the body do harm to the heart?
    小题4:Why do men suffer more from heart problems than women?
    小题5:What will you do to reduce the pressures of living and working to keep fit? Please give TWO examples.
