    Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,the spirit ofgenerosityis instantly noticeable :donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows poor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.   
    It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owner Brad Birky, who started the café in 2006.  Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes
    daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during t he long
    winter said goodbye to the Birkys, He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clearing up,” says Birky.
    【小题1】What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?

    A．They refused to have volunteers.
    B．They offered low quality food.
    C．They provided customers with a good environment.
    D．They closed down because of poor management.
    【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.
    B．More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
    C．Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
    D．The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.
    【小题3】The author’s attitude towards running such a café is_______
    A．unfavorableB．doubtfulC．cautiousD．approving


    【小题1】B
    【小题2】A
    【小题3】D

    What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.

    For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.

    Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.

    According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.

    This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.

    The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.

    1.The passage is most probably a______.

    A．news report                           B．research report

    C．story for soccer players                   D．text for doctors

    2.In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?

    A．Computerized test.                      B．Questionnaire..

    C．Scanning.                             D．M.R.I. technique.

    3.From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.

    A．significant effect on brain                 B．little effect on one’s brain

    C．nothing to do with the brain injury          D．one’s memory improved

    4.The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.

    A．remembering                          B．misunderstanding

    C．recalling                              D．missing
