Your eyes, ears, nose, and skin tell your brain what is going on around you. Other parts of your body tell your brain what is going on inside you. Your brain takes in the signals. It tells your body what to do with them. When you touch fire, your skin tells your brain that your finger is too hot. Your brain tells you to move your finger. All these happen very fast. Your brain also controls your breathing, blinking, and heartbeat. It becomes your feelings and thoughts too.Humans have the most developed brain of all animals. Yet it is not the largest brain.

If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now, there is a ringtone called mosquitotone (蚊子铃声). Using it, students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but someone of 20 or older cant.But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British students phone uses mosquitotone. In class, the students phone rang. The 22-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. I heard that. You know the rule: no mobile phone in class.Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure, but not in class. Its unfair(不公平的) to the teachers!What do parents think of mosquitotone? I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters, says Connie Neeson, 44. Think about it. Youre watching a film and someones mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people dont hear it. However, it also has a bad influence（影响） on their study if students use it in class.（1）Mosquitotone works because _. A . it is very loudB . it has no soundC . it has a beautiful soundD . it is mainly for children and teenagers.（2）Which of the following about Jerry Jones is TRUE? A . He likes watching movies.B .

A . was late for classB . didnt do his homeworkC . couldnt answer her questionD . was using a mobile phone in class（4）Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone _. A . has no bad influenceB . is unfair to the teachersC . has its advantage and disadvantageD . cant be used in any public place（5）The writer wrote this passage mainly to introduce _. A . a strict ruleB . a famous schoolC . a special ringstoneD .

Cindy, my company wants to promote (升职) me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that youve done well and allowing you to skip (跳) a grade, but youll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher? She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said yes but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening Id eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment, It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldnt know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with a positive attitude.Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me. Ive learned a lot because of this separation. There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life. We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens.（1）It was _ for the writer to say yes to her mothers decision. A . difficultB . excitedC . unusualD . happy（2）Which of the following sentence can be put in the blank in Paragraph 3? A . I thought my mother might regret her decision.B .
