More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley 1ived in rural India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 5-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He 1ived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program---Google Earth. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district from a bird's-eye view. He thought, "On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station"—and there it was. "And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain(喷泉)"—and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. "There's something about me," he thought—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, "My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was 1ike a nuclear fusion(核聚变). I just didn't know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her."
【1】Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago?
A.He got on a train by mistake.
B.He got lost while playing in the street.
C.He was taken away by a foreigner.
D.He was adopted by an Australian family.
【2】How did Brierley find his hometown?
A.By analyzing old pictures. B.By studying digital maps.
C.By travelling all around India. D.By spreading his story via his book.
【3】What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?
A.His love for his mother. B.His memory of his hometown.
C.His 1ong way back home. D.His reunion with his mother.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Long Way Home
B.Saroo Brierley, the inspiration for the film Lion
C.With Memories and Online Maps, A Lost Child Finds His "Way Home"
D.A Lost Child Reunited with Mother After 25 years

Do you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic, directed by Cameron, where Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door alone? It broke many people’s hearts. Two decades later, people are still asking the question, “wasn’t there enough room on the door for both of them?” Cameron once responded by saying it wasn’t a question of room, but buoyancy(浮力)— if both of them had tried to stay on the door, he argued, the whole thing would sink.
But several guys from “Mythbusters”, an Australian-American science entertainment television program, decided to put the theory to the test themselves. They discovered that if Rose had took off her life jacket to the bottom of the door, there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.
“It was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him,” Cameron said. “I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so attractive to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. The film is about death and separation; he had to die.”
Since Jack was doomed to die, Cameron said, it could have happened in a variety of different ways. It’s not about the door not being big enough: that’s just a practical method for his death. “Whether it was that, or whether a chimney(烟囱)fell on him, he was going down,” Cameron said. “It’s called art: things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.”
【1】According to Cameron, why can’t audience accept Jack’s death?
A.They are artistic people. B.They like the movie.
C.They love Jack. D.They are eager for truth.
【2】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Jack died by accident. B.Jack’s death was unavoidable.
C.The chimney fell on Jack. D.The door could make a difference.
【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Jack Had to Die B.A Door of Life and Death
C.Audience Knew Better D.Science Behind Movie
【4】Where can you probably find this article?
A.A popular magazine. B.A movie poster.
C.A government report. D.A notice board.

Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及)art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned(随机分配)each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques(技巧)after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. "The more we hear something, the more we retain it," Hardiman says. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own."
【1】Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study?
A.To prove the importance of art at school.
B.To see if art might improve science learning.
C.To find a way to help her students learn better.
D.To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
【2】What were the students required to do in the experiment?
A.Learn three units in total.
B.Take two types of classes.
C.Learn two topics for three weeks.
D.Choose what they'd like to learn.
【3】What does the underlined word "retain" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Finish. B.Express.
C.Improve. D.Memorize.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Art helps students develop creativity.
B.Art-focused classes interest students a lot
C.Art can make science easier to remember.
D.Art has something in common with science.

Do you sometimes get stuck on decision making? While it's great to have options, there is a hidden burden: the responsibility of actually making a choice! The toggle technique is good for important decisions where you feel stuck between two choices. You've thought about both options carefully, but you're still unsure.【1】Here's how:
•Get centered. Find a quiet space and do a couple of deep breaths to warm up.【2】.
•Dive in. Imagine that you've totally committed to one of your choice—we'll call that choice Option A. For about 30 seconds, silently pretend that you've decided to choose Option A.【3】For example, do you feel a sinking in your stomach or a positive, energized feeling that's more like butterflies in your stomach?
•【4】Once you have explored how Option A feels, mentally toggle over to Option B and pretend for approximately thirty seconds that you've chosen this option. Notice how it feels emotionally, and notice if you have any body-felt reactions. For example, do you feel a warm uplifted feeling in your chest or a sense of tightening in your chest?
•Go with your gut.【5】And give yourself permission to choose the one that really felt best on an emotional and body-felt level. Many times, clients in my practice who are struggling with an important choice are surprised to see how much easier it is to choose when they allow themselves to see how they actually feel about the choices.
A.Make a switch.
B.Notice how it feels in your body.
C.Close your eyes to block out distractions.
D.Compare how it felt to choose each option.
E.Talk choices over with trusted sources of support.
F.Sometimes our "gut feeling" helps make the best choice.
G.The toggle technique is not a replacement for doing a pros/cons list.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
"I don't want to go." Maria moved her feet slightly and hung her shoulders. Mom continued packing a bag. “We're going to Uncle Rich's in Montana for summer vacation. He's your father's brother, and we go there every year.”
Maria stormed out of her mom's room and said angrily, “Nobody ever thinks of me!” “That's enough. We're going.” replied Mom angrily, too.
Their August vacation came sooner than Maria wanted. Before she knew it, she and the family were at Uncle Rich's ranch. Uncle Rich grabbed her dad and hugged him. “Good to see you,” said Uncle Rich. Maria's brother and sister were twins and two years younger, so they didn't realize what an inconvenience and bore being on a ranch was. They raced to see animals. Maria grabbed her bag. "I'm going to my room," she told her parents.
“Wait a minute, Maria,” said Uncle Rich. “I have got something to show you.” “You come too,” he said to Maria's parents. At the barn Maria saw the horse. It was of medium size. It had a fine, soft black coat and one white foot. There was a wide white patch that ran down the center of its face. Maria fell in love with it at first sight. “Wow! What a horse!”
“He's a mustang,” said Uncle Rich. “Mustangs are free horses who live in the wild. We found him stuck in the mud down by the river. I didn't know how he got there. My friend and I roped him and managed to get him out. This mustang is a beauty.”
Maria kicked the dirt. "Can I help care for him?" Then she felt her heart beating in expectation.
Uncle Rich laughed. "You bet. The more hands we have, the better. Just don't get too attached. Once we're sure he's okay, we will have to set him free. Mustangs went from over a million at the beginning of the 20th century to less than 17, 000 in 1970. They were hunted illegally for meat."
