Mary was a young girl who always focused on the negative side of life.
One day, her father decided to teach her a lesson. He took her to the kitchen and placed three pots on the stove, each filled with water. He asked Mary to get a potato, an egg, and some tea leaves.
Mary was confused. “What are you going to do ” she asked.
“Just wait and see,” her father replied with a smile. He boiled the water, then put the potato in the first pot, the egg in the second, and the tea leaves in the third.
Feeling even more puzzled, Mary waited impatiently for about 15 minutes. Her father then took out the potato and the egg and poured a cup of tea. He placed them in front of Mary.
“Each faced the same challenge (挑战) — boiling water,” he explained. “But each reacted differently.”
He pointed at the potato. “The potato was hard, but now it’s soft and weak.”
Then, he pointed at the egg. “The egg was fragile, with a thin shell protecting its liquid (液体) inside. Now its inside has become hard.”
Finally, he pointed at the tea. “But the tea leaves changed the water itself, creating something new.”
Her father looked at Mary: “When problems enter your life, when you are in ‘hot’ water, how do you react Do you become weak like the potato, or hard-hearted like the egg Or can you be like the tea leaves, using the challenge to make things better ”

Wind power is a very clean source (来源) of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.
A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.
Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.
A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. It used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.
However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.
Wind power is becoming more and more popular. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.

B．New windmills spin very fast and are still dangerous for birds.
C．Wind power can provide more than 25% of electricity for Denmark.
D．Wind blows all the time, so we can use wind power 24 hours a day.

Super-agers are special people. They are 80 years old or older, but they have amazing memories. A super-ager’s ability to remember is like someone 20 to 30 years younger.
Super-agers are very different from each other. They don’t all eat the same food or do the same exercise. But scientists found one thing they all share. They think social relationships are very important. 16
This discovery doesn’t surprise brain scientists. People who spend time with others are more protected from memory problems as they get older. They also have bigger brains. 17 When people are lonely, their body makes stress hormones (应激激素). If stress hormones stay high for a long time, they can cause swelling (肿块) in the brain. 18
Almost all 80-year-olds have signs of brain disease. 19 Scientists who study healthy 100-year-olds say they are also extroverted (外向的 ) and have a positive attitude about life. However, there is still a question. Do people socialize (交际) more because they have good memories Or does socializing give people better memories Scientists are still trying to answer this.
20 While being social helps protect the brain, you probably can’t become a super-ager just by spending more time with people. The amazing memory ability seems to come mainly from the genes you are born with.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．This can damage brain cells and cause memory loss.
B．That’s probably why they have an excellent memory.
C．Most super-agers are also extroverted people who like being with others.
D．Scientists believe that genetics (遗传学) and biology are the most important factors (因素) for becoming a super-ager.
E．However, most super-agers have very few of these signs.

A few months later, the horse returned with a fine 37 following it. The neighbors congratulated him, but he said, “Who knows if this isn’t a 38 for trouble.”
