When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didnt know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.8. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.C. He will give the very person long list of direction.D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.9. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A. Because of his poor sense of direction.B. Because he always forgot the way home.C. Because he did not have any friend.D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.10. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A. He felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed.C. He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.11. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?A. Someone we dont know.B. The writer did it for himself.C. The secretary did so.D. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing.DMotherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimers(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said. “Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimers and other forms of age-related brain decline.“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations (改变) to the brain.”12. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?A. Some researchers have told them.B. Many women say so.C. They know it by experimenting on rats.D. They know it through their own experience.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Find ways to respond to a major disasterWhen natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes happen, theres always a great need for coordinated(协调的) disaster relief and recovery. 16 l VolunteerTo take a hands-on approach to disaster recovery, volunteer your time and talents.
