For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (后天) decides what people will be like. Is it nature— what people are (41) with— that decides what they will be like? (42) is it nurture —what(43) to people when they are born —that decides what they will be like?
Scientists have been studying twins to (44) if they can find the answer, because twins start out with the (45) DNA. Sometimes twins don’t live together at birth and grow up in different (46) and different places— so the nature is the same for both, but the nurture is different.
When scientists (47) these twins in their later life, they some times find some surprising (48).
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（收養(yǎng)）by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirty-nine years (49) and discovered they had a lot in (50). Both had been (51) twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty!
Each twin had a son — one called his son James Alan and the (52) called his son James Alan, too. Their children each had a dog called “Toy”. They even arrived at their first (53) in the same color of car.
So far twin (54) seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth, and how and where we live help to build (55) we are.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代溝).
Don’t argue (爭辯) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
小題1:According to the passage who have a communication problem?
A．parents and other peopleB．only school kids and their parents
C．teachers and their studentsD．parents and children of all ages
小題2:How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?
A．5.B．4. C．3.D．2.
小題3:The underlined word “bridge” in the passage means “______”.
A．建立B．消除C．通過D．到達(dá)
小題4:If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you’d better ______.
A．a(chǎn)rgue with themB．keep away from them
C．a(chǎn)gree with them all the timeD．tell your parents what you care about
小題5:The best title for the passage is______.
A．How to bridge the generation gap B．How to deal with family problems

Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.
Why can’t some birds easily catch locusts（蝗蟲）? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals can’t be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can’t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
小題1: From the article we learn that locusts 　　　　　　　　　.
A．a(chǎn)re dangerous to their enemiesB．a(chǎn)re easily found by birds
C．change their colors to protect themselvesD．a(chǎn)re small animals
小題2:How can insects with different colors from plants keep out of danger?
A．They have to move quietly.
B．They hide themselves in the day and appear at night.
C．They have the colors much like their enemies.
D．They run away quickly.
小題3: Bears and lions can keep safe because 　　　　　　　　　.
A．they live in forestsB．they like brown and grey colors
C．they move quietly　D．they have the colors similar to the trees
小題4:What does the word “l(fā)iquid” mean in the last paragraph?
A．氣體B．固體　C．液體　D．水蒸氣

Can plant eat people? Probably not. But there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat- eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蠅草).
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of the book.. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(蒼蠅) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes very quickly. Then the fly can’t go out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen. So some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷。
1. The Venus flytrap grows in wet parts of the United States.
2. The Venus flytrap is a kind of plant.
3. The underlined word “presses” probably means（擠、壓） in Chinese.
4. In the world, many animals eat plants but plants never eat animals.
5. From the passage, we know that not only animals eat plants, but also some plants eat animals.

?
The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive  the earthquake. ?
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide(隱藏) under the machines and  survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings.?
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a Split Second Decision》  shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake.
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(專家)find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.?
In this short time, one has the best chance of  surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.?
Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.”?
小題1:The word “survive” appears in the passage several times. It probably means   in Chinese.
