My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble, How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get an allowance （零花钱）. “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher, who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden （深感歉疚的） face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo （回响） forever.

Do you want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.
Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development, According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels （血管）, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies, Babies who often do activities show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. Also, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
43. What is the main idea of this text
A. How to exercise every week, B. How exercise makes people strong.
C. How exercise helps the brain develop. D. How the brain can change one’s memory.
44. According to the text, what is the connection between exercise and brain development
A. Exercise helps soften our blood vessels. B. Physical exercise helps us think better.
C. The brain needs special mental exercise. D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.
45. Why is yoga suggested for seniors
A. It can be done in groups. B. It does good to the bones of old people.
C. It does not increase the heart rate. D. It includes learning new skills.
46. Why is making the heart rate increase is useful through physical activities
A. It can improve the brain’s flow of blood. B. It can slow down the brain’s flow of blood.
C. It can change older people’s mood for the better. D. It can make seniors forget previous terrible things.

Dad came down the stairs, walked over to the boy and asked what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas present for his brother, I was 64 that Dad treated him with the same respect that he would give to any 65 . Dad told him to take his time and look around, He did so.

“That’ll be OK,” Dad said when he closed the sale. Dad’s answer still 69 in my ears. I thought about what I’d seen as I wrapped （包， 裹） the present.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I grew up in a small town with its location in New Hampshire, and every morning, sometimes before I woke up, my dad left for work. I didn’t know much about all 71 my dad actually did all day. But one thing I did know about my dad’s day was that he often looked for books for me during his lunch break. He would often come home in the evening with a book for me in his bag and said that the book belonged to me. When handed the “gift”， I immediately 72 (investigate) its cover, checked out the 73 (describe) on the back, and sometimes started reading right then. I made 74 most of my free time to read.
I was not always as appreciative of those books as I should have been, especially in my younger years. One time, Dad brought home a paperback （平装书） called Bunya the Witch. I looked at the cover quickly before announcing. “Ugh! It’s just another stupid farm book and it is likely 75 (be) boring,” and dropped it on the ground. It was obvious that I had behaved rudely. I was rightfully blamed for being an ungrateful kid, and I learned that valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover—Bunya the Witch turned out to be one of my favorites.
As I got older, my dad favored books that focused 76 strong and 77 (power) young female characters, like Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs, Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt, and Homesick: My Own Story by Jean Fritz.
It’s not just the books themselves that stay in my memory. It’s the girl reading them, and what she felt as she read. I think back to hours I spent in my childhood bedroom 78 (read) about young women who faced lives that were 79 (unusual) difficult. I learned from 80 (they) courage and drew inspiration from their bravery.
To this day, I love to read. I love the excitement of opening up a new book and getting lost in whatever story the author wants to tell me.
