Resting my head on Helen’s shoulder, I put my arms round her waist（腰）. She drew me to her, and we rested in silence.
We had not sat long before another person came in.
Some heavy clouds, swept from the sky by a rising wind, had left he moon bright; and her light, coming in through a window near, shone full both on us and on the coming person, Miss Temple.
“I came on purpose to find you. Jane Eyre,” said she. “I want you in my room, and as Helen Burs is with you, she may come too.”
We followed Miss Temple to her apartment. It had a good fire, and looked cheerful. Miss Temple told Helen Burns to be seated in a low arm-chair on one side of the fire place, and herself asking another, she called me to her side.
“Is it all over ” she asked. looking down at my face. “Have you cried your sadness away ”
“I am afraid I never shall do that.”
“Why ”
“Because I have been wrongly accused（指责）, and you and everybody else, will now think me a bad girl.”
“We shall think you what you prove yourself to be, my child. Continue to act as a good girl, and you will satisfy us.”
“Shall I, Miss Temple ”
“You will.” said Miss Temple, “You have been accused of lying when you were little. Tell us the truth, but add nothing and exaggerate（夸大）nothing.”

but not many people know how the brain works.Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer.We use it to store files 一 pictures，language （words，texts，sounds） and so on.Others compare the brain to a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it.We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not a computer disk，and it isn't a cupboard.Look at the picture here.It looks a hit like weeds（杂草）in a garden，doesn't it？The picture actually shows a child's neocortex— a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing.You can guess what happens 一 more "weeds" grow as the child gets older.Scientists call these neuronal（神经元的）networks.The networks grow around our neurons.What makes them grow？"Learning!Learning is brain change， "says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland，Ohio，USA. "Without learning，nothing changes in the brain.For every new word you learn in your English lesson，every problem you solve in maths，every new song you learn to sing，a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes."
The more neuronal networks we grow，the better we can think and the better we remember.You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better.Professor Zull says yes，there is.He says that brain change is strongest when a） you are interested in and like what you are learning，b） you are in control of what you learn and c） you get challenging tasks that make you think hard.Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain.
1.What's the main idea of the first paragraph？ ______
A.The brain — a fantastic computer.
B.What people believe about the brain.
C.How to make your brain stronger.
D.Our brain 一 a growing system.
2.What can we learn from the passage？ ______
A.Learning makes our neuronal networks grow.
B.Seeing a challenging task develops our brain.
C We remember better when things are easy.
D.There's nothing we can do to make us smarter.
3.What's the best title for the passage？ ______
A.Interest is the best teacher.

One wet, rainy April afternoon Miss O’ Shay, the principal, sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed. Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers. Outside the skies were grey. Nancy Lee’s thoughts were suddenly grey, too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong, yet that tight (紧的) little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O’Shay’s door. Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard. Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O’Shay’s hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O’Shay’s door. That familiarly solid and competent voice said, “Come in.”
Miss O’Shay had a way of making you feel welcome, even if you came to be punished.
“Sit down, Nancy Lee Johnson,” said Miss O’Shay. “I have something to tell you.” Nancy Lee sat down.“But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet.”
“I won’t, Miss O’Shay,” Nancy Lee said, wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.
“You are about to graduate,” Miss O’Shay said. “And we shall miss you. You have been an excellent student, Nancy, and you will not be without honors (荣誉) on the senior list, as I am sure you know. ”
At that point there was a light knock on the door. Miss O’Shay called out, “Come in,” and Miss Dietrich entered. “May I be part of this, too ” she asked, tall and smiling.
“Of course,” Miss O’Shay said. “I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her. But I hadn’t got around to giving her the news. Perhaps, Miss Dietrich, you’d like to tell her yourself.”
Miss Dietrich was always direct. “Nancy Lee,” she said, “your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship.”
The brown girl’s eyes widened, her heart jumped, then her throat tightened again. She tried to smile, but instead tears came to her eyes.
“Dear Nancy Lee,” Miss O’Shay said, “we are so happy for you.” The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home. She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain. She hoped she had been calm. But certainly she hadn’t stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way. Raindrops, smiles, and tears mingled on her brown face. She hoped her mother hadn’t yet got home and that the house was empty.
1.How did Nancy feel on her way to Miss O’Shay’s office
A．Scared. B．Excited. C．Uncertain. D．Confident.
2.What can we infer from the passage about Nancy
A．She was Miss Dietrich’s best student. B．She would never tell anyone her secret.
C．She was often punished by the principal. D．She would try to hide feelings at home.
3.Which is the best title for this story
A．A New Star. B．The Girl. C．A Young Artist. D．The News.

Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID-19, but a special mom and her two babies took a trip. They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina to a 1.7 million-acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park. There the three jaguars were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species (物种) almost died out there 70 years ago. Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator, meaning one that is on top of the food chain (链). Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
“That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina,” says Sebastian Di Martino. He’s the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina, which is one of the organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars’ journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands. Several thousand jaguars once lived there, along with other important species. But the jaguars’ fur was valuable, so people hunted them. Then farmers cleared the land they lived on. With the jaguars gone, the ecosystem was out of balance.
“In the absence of this species, ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse,” Di Martino says. “The main prey (猎物) of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman. They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar, which causes imbalances in the ecosystem.”
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live. Then they needed to breed. A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil. Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.
It sounds simple, but the reality is more complicated. Di Martino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans. Otherwise, they will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight. They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away. “We provide live prey for them, without them realizing it comes from people,” Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies, Karai and Pord. “So far, so good. She’s been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well,” Di Martino says.
1.What can we learn about the jaguar
A．It is found only in Argentina. B．It is taught to hunt by humans.
C．It is not hunted by any other animal. D．It is not considered as a rare species.
2.Which of the following words can best describe Di Martino’s job
A．Exciting. B．Meaningful. C．Surprising. D．Successful.
3.What does the underlined word “abundant” mean in this passage
A．More than enough. B．Less than enough.
C．Getting more powerful. D．Getting less powerful.
4.The writer mentioned Mariua ________.
A．to give an example of jaguars’ life B．to show the importance of female jaguars
C．to introduce a way of training jaguars D．to explain the method of rewilding jaguars

To improve your reading, you can try the form of readers’ theatre, a formatted script for readers to read aloud. It’s so interesting!
Cast of Characters: Narrator, Kayla, Ms. Lee, Zack
Narrator: On a sunny day in southern Texas, Ms. Lee’s students gathered in the school playground.
Ms. Lee: Tomorrow is the day of the sidewalk（人行道）chalk-art festival. The principal has allowed us to practise our wet-chalk drawing on the playground sidewalk, which will be our studio. Remember, whenever you want to draw on a sidewalk, always ask an adult in charge for permission before you draw. Now let’s review the steps of wet-chalk drawing. What do we do first
Narrator: As the students told her the steps in order, Ms. Lee wrote them on a large pad of paper. When she finished writing, she pulled the paper off the pad and displayed the directions so everyone could read them. Then the students chose and soaked （浸湿）their pieces of chalk. Meanwhile, Kayla and Zack planned their drawing.
Kayla: Let’s draw a jungle feast. Parrots can be eating all kinds of fruit.
Zack: I’ll draw a model train carrying food to the birds.
Narrator: The students removed their pieces of chalk from the water and drew. As Zack drew a sweeping curve of train track, his hand knocked over the jar of water. He and Kayla watched water streak across their drawing.
Zack: Our drawing is ruined（毁坏）！
Kayla: Don’t be so worried! Quick, mix the water and the chalk together! Now let’s use more chalk and smear（涂抹）it around.
Narrator: Kayla and Zack worked quickly. The smeared colours looked glorious, like rich, thick frosting on a cake.
Ms. Lee: That looks great! That’s a special method you’re using, kids. Are you two interested in taking part in the chalk-art festival tomorrow The timetable for the festival says that drawing starts at 9:00 a.m.
Kayla and Zack: Sure!
Kayla: Tomorrow we’ll pour water over our drawing on purpose.

After reading so much, you may wonder how to make a book. It’s time for you to have a try!
Have you ever wondered how a book is made It takes a lot of people to make a book. It can take months, or even years, for a book to go from an idea to a finished product.
A book begins when an author comes up with an idea for a book. Authors get ideas in different ways. They may get ideas from their own lives, from watching the world around them, or from reading.
Next, an author may plan the book by making an outline （提纲）. Sometimes authors do research to gather information. They may read books or articles. They may interview people or visit places.
Then, the author begins to write. Authors may write for months or years to finish a manuscript. A manuscript is the text an author produces for publication.
Finally, the author sends the completed manuscript to a publisher. If the publisher decides to publish the book, the author works with an editor. An editor reads the manuscript. Then he or she recommends changes to improve the book. A copy editor reads the manuscript to correct any grammatical mistake.
After an author makes the suggested changes, a designer may decide how the book will look. The designer may choose the size, shape, and type styles for the book. Some picture book authors create their own illustrations（插图）. If not, an illustrator is chosen to create pictures for the book.
The illustrator makes sketches of pictures that will go on each page. The sketches are sent to the publishing company. The editor makes sure the pictures clearly tell the story. The designer checks how the words and pictures will fit together on the pages.
After the design changes are made, the illustrator begins creating the final pictures. He or she may change the colours, the perspective, or the composition of pictures. It may take months to create all the pictures.
The finished art is then sent to the publisher. The designer adjusts（调整）how the pictures and words fit together on the pages. The completed pages are sent to the printer. Many books are still made into books with paper pages.
The printer uses huge printing presses to make the pages. The pages are fixed together. The book cover is added. The finished books are then sent to the publisher’s warehouse. They are stored there until they are bought by libraries and bookstores.
E-readers have changed how some books are made. Some authors do not use a publisher at all. Instead of sending a manuscript to a publisher, some authors turn their manuscripts into eBooks themselves. Finally, an author’s eBook is uploaded（上传）to virtual bookstores on the Internet. Customers can buy and download eBooks from these websites.

Durbeyfield sat down upon the grassy land by the roadside, putting his basket before him. In a few minutes, a youth from his village appeared in the distance. On seeing him, Durbeyfield held up his hand, and the boy quickened his steps and came near.
“Boy, take up that basket! I want you to do something for me.”
The skinny boy frowned (皱眉), “who are you then, John Durbeyfield, to order me about and call me ‘boy’ You know my name as well as I know yours!”
“Do you, do you That’s the secret — That’s the secret! Now obey my orders, and Fred, I don’t mind telling you that the secret is that I’m one of a noble race (贵族) — it has been just found out by me this present afternoon.” And as he made the announcement, he luxuriously (奢侈地) lay himself upon the land among the flowers.
The boy stood before Durbeyfield, and looked at him from head to foot.
“Sir, John D’ Urberville — that’s who I am,” continued Durbeyfield. “Do you know such a place as Greenhill ”
“Yes. I have been there to Greenhill fair (集市).”
“Well, under the church of that city there lie my ancestors (祖先) — hundreds of them — in coats of jewellery. There is not a man here who’s got greater and nobler ancestors than I.”

“Now take up that basket, and go on to the Pure Drop Inn, telling them to send a horse and carriage (马车) with a servant (仆人) here quickly, to carry me home. And when you’ve done that, go on to my house with the basket, and tell my wife to put away that washing, because she needn’t finish it, and wait till I come home, as I’ve news to tell her.”
As the boy stood in doubt, Durbeyfield put his hand into his pocket, and produced a shilling (a unit of money used in Britain until 1971).
“Here is for your work, son.”
This made a difference.
“Yes. Sir John. Thank you.”

There are only 24 hours in a day, and usually about a third of that is spent sleeping. So is it possible to make use of this time and learn a new skill or even a language In other words, is sleep learning possible
Many studies have found that a basic form of learning called conditioning can happen during sleep. In a 2012 study published in the magazine Nature Neuroscience, for example, Israeli researchers found that people can learn to connect sounds with smells during sleep. The scientists played a tone to sleeping study participants while putting some rotten (腐烂的) fish beside their beds. Once awake when hearing the tone. The people held their breath in anticipation of a bad smell.
"This was a dear finding showing participants formed new memories during sleep," said Andrillon, a scientist in this held.
Although the now memory was implicit (暗示性的), it could influence how people behave, researchers found in a 2014 study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. In that research, after spending a night in a room full of cigarette (香烟) smell mixed with rotten eggs or fish, smokers use fewer cigarettes.
Andrillon and his team members have found that learning in sleep can also go beyond simple conditioning. In their 2017 study published in Nature Communications, participants were able to pick out sound features that they had heard during sleep.
Learning abilities in sleep may spread to learning of words. In a study published in Current Biology, researchers played pairs of made-up words and their supposed meanings like "guga" means elephant, to sleep participants. After this,when awake,the participants did better in picking the right translation of made-up words in a multi-choice test.
So far, research suggests it may be possible to learn about the tone and pronunciation of a language or even the meaning of words while sleeping, although it is to a weaker level than what we do during the day without noticing.
1. What is the main purpose of the text
A: To show that sleep learning is possible.
B: To study how to make use of sleep learning.
C: To report some famous research findings.
D: To prove sleep learning is implicit and weak.
2. What does the phrase ''new memories'' in the third paragraph refer to (指的是) _______
A: Connection between participants and scientists.
B: Connection between sounds and smells.
C: The tone's influence on the rotten fish.
D: The rotten eggs' influence on cigarettes.
3. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs
A: Sleep can do good to learning.
B: Language learning can happen in sleep.
C: People learn in sleep in a different language.
D: Sleep learning is better than daytime learning.
