some people have very good memories and they can learn many things easily, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories. a good memory is a great help in learning a language. everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. he hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. they can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. at school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students dont have enough time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. but your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.1. some people can easily learn many things by heart (用心) because _.a. they always sleep very wellb. they often eat good foodc. they read a lot of books d. they have very good memories2. everybody learns his mother language _.a. at the age of sixb. when he is a small childc. after he goes to schoold. when he can read and write3. before a child can speak, he must _.a. read and write b. make sentencesc. hear and remember the soundsd. think hard4. at school the students cant learn a foreign language well because _.a. they have no good memories b. they have too much time for itc. they havent a better environmentd. they are busy with other subjects5. your memory will become better and better _.a. if you have lots of good food b. if you do more and more exercisesc. if you get up early d. if you do morning exercises every day (b)the weather is getting hotter. you will be thirsty after playing basketball or riding home from school. a cold drink maybe just the thing. but be careful what you are drinking. something that looks cool may not be good for your health.there are lots of “energy drinks” on the market. most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. the lists (单子) on them tell you they are helpful to your health. sounds great！but if you are careful enough, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因）in them. these drinks are very popular among young people，students，busy people and sports players. makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake (醒着的). but be careful not to drink too much.caffeine makes your heart jump faster. because of this，the international olympic committee (国际奥委会) has limited（限制）its use. caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. just one box of energy drink can make you over excited，difficult to sleep and can even cause heart problems. scientists say that we should discourage young students from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.6. which of the following is wrong about energy drinks?a. they have beautiful colors and cool namesb. they have lots of caffeinec. they can keep us awake and better at sportsd. they are very helpful to health7. how do you feel if you drink too much energy drinks?a. quite b. excited c. angry d. uncommon8. which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word “discourage”?a. hope b. stop c. help d. dislike9. what can we know from the passage?a. advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinksb. energy drinks are helpful to young students studyc. sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinksd. young students need energy drinks to play basketball or ride home.10. which of the following is the best title of the passage？a. whats the use of energy drinks？ b. who can drink energy drinks?c. whats that in energy drinks? d. where can we buy energy
