King was one of America’s most popular fiction authors. Samuel wanted to be a great writer.

You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.National V olunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity（机会）to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s exp ectations.★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”18．What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?A．They don’t have enough time.B．They are prevented by their families.C．They fear that their abilities are shared.

When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born smart, average, or dumb —and stays that way in the whole life. But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle （肌肉）—it changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time. That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink （收缩）and you get weaker. That’s why people say “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise. Inside the cortex （皮层）of the brain are billions of tiny nerve （神经元）cells （细胞）,called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated （复杂）network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do —like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra （代数）—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time. The result is a stronger, smarterbrain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied anima ls’ brains. They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious ”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things. 22．According to the first paragraph, .A ．the function （作用）of our brain is like that of the muscleB ．until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mysteryC ．many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determined （决定）D ．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases 23．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A ．The complicated structure of the brain. B ．How changes in the muscles affect the brain. C ．The importance of the brain.D ．How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.24．What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean? A ．Strong.B ．Smart.C ．Popular.D ．Active.25．The paragraph that follows the passage will most probably talk about . A ．the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brains B ．the relation between human brains and muscles C ．scientists’ findings about animals’ brainsD ．how to make your brain smarter through self-development 三、补全短文5选5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
