AEven though I just had lunch not long ago, I was felling hungry again. I went for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it.“It’s mine! I was the only one who found it!”I shouted. “You are my elder brother, You should give it to me!”said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into a yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily, Within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized _____. If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learnt a good lesson.( )1.

It makes it possible for youto think, learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for yourheart to heat –this fantastic control center is your brain. It is soamazing that a famous scientist once called it " the most complex(复杂) thing we have yet discovered in our universe".Can this small grey organ(器官) , which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly , your brain contains about 100 billion neurons(神经元) -it would take you over 3 ,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in y our brain never stops. Your neurons create and se nd more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brain's unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends "bike riding" messages again and again Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.( )4. From the passage we know that neuron s______________ .A. receive messages very slowlyB. are only found in your skinC. send messages to your brainD. need electricity to work( )5. In Paragraph 3, the writer mentions computers to ______________ .A. compare them with the human brainB. show how fast they have becomeC. say that computers have no abilitiesD. ask people to use computers more( )6. When you have a new thought, ______________ .A. your brain will power a light bulbB. your heart beats fasterC. you remember somethingD. the structure of your brain changes( )7. The article is mainly about ________________ .A all the steps when your brain learns thingsB. what an unbelievable organ the human brain isC. how the brain makes people smarter than computersD. the things you can do to make your brain work faster三. 从所给的句子中选择合适的句子补全短文。
