广西平南县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解精选（6）trusting in the kindness of strangerswhile driving from my home on the long way to work i noticed a car in front of me had a wobbly (摇摆的) wheel.it was clear that the wheel had been changed recently and had not been fixed correctly.on a slow road this would not present much of a problem,but i knew the route and knew a motorway (高速公路) was coming soon where the traffic would move much faster and would be very dangerous as the wheel could come off at that speed.i was driving a large jeep at the time and the car in front was a small to mid-sized car driven by a lady on her own.so as i tried to flash my lights and wave her to pull over.i was worried that looking in her mirror she would see a lone man chase her down in a jeep waving frantically for her to pull over on this side of the road.thankfully she trusted more in the good nature of people and pulled over where i could explain the problem.she confirmed the wheel was changed only the night before and said she would pull in to the next garage before the motorway where they would have the tools to fix the wheel correctly.my belief is that the act of kindness was hers and not mine.how so?well,it was her who chose to trust in the possibility that people are good over the belief that bad things come from being waved down to the side of the road by strangers.i do preach (宣扬) caution and would have hesitated myself to pull over to the side should a stranger in a car wave me down.i will never know,thankfully,if the wheel may have come off and caused a serious accident but it was risky and at the very least might have caused damage to her car,so for that i am glad i was able to wave her down. but i am more glad she trusted in a stranger.18.what was the author worried about?()a.being late for work.b.being

gave him a tin basin of water and a piece of soap, and he went outside the door and set the basin on a little bench there; then he dipped the soap in the water and laid it down; turned up his sleeves; poured out the water on the ground, gently, and then entered the kitchen and began to wipe his face diligently on the towel behind the door. but mary removed the towel and said:“now arent you ashamed, tom. you mustnt be so bad. water wont hurt you.”tom was a little unsettled. the basin was refilled, and this time he stood over it, took in a big breath and began. when he entered the kitchen presently, with both eyes shut and feeling for the towel with his hands, an honorable testimony of bubbles and water was dripping from his face. but when he came out from the towel, he was not yet satisfactory, for the clean territory stopped short at his chin and his jaws, like a mask; below and beyond this line there was a dark expanse of unirrigated soil that spread downward in front and

clothing that had been used only on sundays during two years - they were simply called his “other clothes” - and so by that we know the size of his wardrobe. after he had dressed himself, mary checked over and over again. now he looked extraordinarily improved but uncomfortable. he was fully as uncomfortable as he looked; for there was a self-control about whole clothes and cleanliness that annoyed him. when mary brought out the shoes, he lost his temper and said he was always being made to do everything he didnt want to do. but mary said, persuasively: “please, tom thats a good boy.” so he got into the shoes howling. mary was soon ready, and the two children set out for sunday-school - a place that tom hated with his whole heart; but mary was fond of it.56. the first time tom washed his

can exercise your brain as often as you work out your arms or abs-and the results can be positive and empowering. its helpful to think of your brain as you work out a muscle. to improve your brain,

easy exercises, you must move on to harder ones in order to push your brainlike your musclesto a new level.scientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. now that studies on neuroplasticity have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain training.the most popular of these brain training products is made by the san francisco-based lumosity, which employs a team of in-house neuroscientists with degrees from stanford and uc berkeley. realizing that brains need more sophisticated programs and guidance to grow and change, lumositys scientists work with an experienced team of game designers. together theyve developed a fun, effective online brain training program that measures, tracks, and adapts to your

abilities, compared to a group that did not train with lumosity. there is even some first round evidence suggesting that lumosity may be beneficial to normal, healthy adults. in a 2011 study by lumosity and san francisco state university researchers, 13 people who did lumosity training over 5 weeks improved on tests of brain performance compared to a group that did not train. on average, those who trained improved working memory scores by 10% and attention scores by 20%.training can take just a few minutes a da
