Scientists are trying to find out how things affect our feelings. How you feel is controlled by many things, such as your personality(性格), the actions(行動(dòng)) of others. Maybe you don’t know the weather can affect your feelings as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies makes vitamin D(維生素D). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical(化學(xué)物質(zhì)). This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. To help the people in these countries feel better, scientists build special “sunrooms” for people to go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s feelings in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people don’t feel comfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unhappy. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can affect our feelings in these ways. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we cannot change the weather.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE about vitamin D according to the passage?
A．It is a kind of special food.
B．It makes us worried by affecting our brains.
C．It is helpful to our bodies.
D．It is in the sunlight.
小題2:The underlined words “brains” means        in Chinese.
A．心靈B．心臟C．大腦D．精神
小題3:What can we infer(推斷) from the passage?
A．We will feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.
B．We will be happy when we are in the rain.
C．All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.
D．The less vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.
小題4:What may be the best title for this passage?
A．Why Do We Feel Sad
B．The Weather Influences People’s Feelings
C．People Need More Vitamin D
D．We Can Change the Weather

小題1:C
小題2:C

“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought        a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. No one doubted the story l had learned to limp（一瘸一拐地走）. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a         I knew well. Then I went to the hospital. The nurses pushed your grandfather outside in his         ．I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. “There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to         you. You are going to walk yourself.”
I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket. “Now show me you are          a man.” I said．He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled(掙扎) out of that wheelchair．He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair          in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day          he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin（頑童） was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
　  Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing ? Boy, I wish…”He hesitated.(猶豫)
　　Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
　　“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
　　“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
　　After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
　　Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
　　He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled （殘疾）brother. He sat him down on the step and
pointed to the car.
　　“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent（美分）. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
　　Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.
