2．（8分）After my mother was diagnosed（诊断）with Alzheimer's（阿尔茨海默病），the plants in our house began to die.Some leaves were turning brown and many of the stems were even bare（光秃秃的），I remembered the deep，earth y smell that would rise up in our house after my mother had watered them weekly.Back then，I never connected it with the basic care-taking work of my mother.
I had been so focused on the increasing demands（要求）of her own care that the plants had escaped my notice.My mother's kind caregivers have since brought new ones to add to her collection，and my father buys fresh flowers every week at the fruit and vegetable market.
Even as Alzheimer's steals so much of her memory，her desire to care is still there.I would guide her down the steps to water one of the plants herself with her little white watering can.I watched as her trembling（颤抖的） hands plucked（摘），she smiled up at me with deep satisfaction because being able to care for something is still what brings her the greatest joy.
I began Mother's work，pouring water into the thirsty soil（土壤），and soon they came to life.That's the thing about houseplants：They ask nothing.They wait quietly，no matter how thirsty they are.
I look at plants differently these days.It is clear for me that the things we spend a lifetime cultivating are never truly lost；the love she has planted in me still blooms（开花）.
（1）Why did the plants in the writer's house begin to die？
A.They were attacked by a disease.
B.They were not paid attention to by the writer.
C.The writer's mum didn't like them anymore.
D.The writer was not good at caring for them.
（2）How did the writer make the dying plants alive？
A.By watering them regularly.
B.By plucking the brown leaves.
C.By moving them out of the house.
D.By asking a gardener for help.
（3）What brings the greatest joy to the writer's mother？
A.Memories of the past.
B.Her caregivers' help.
C.Caring for the plants.
D.New plants bought by her husband.
（4）What does the writer mainly want to tell us？
A.We should always care for our family.
B.Alzheimer's has a huge impact on people.
C.Plants can bring us happiness.
D.Small acts of kindness are powerful.
3．（8分）The next time you want to say sweet words to your friends，you might want to speak in their left ear.The direction from which you hear sounds can affect how much you like them.Scientists from Switzerland recently found.
The scientists invited thirteen people to their study.They listened to different sounds from three directions：the front，left and right.During the study，their brains were scanned at the same time.
Positive sounds such as laughter caused the strongest brain activity when they heard from the left.All areas in the brain related to hearing are active.This means people may be happier when"good" sounds go in their left ear.This didn't happen when negative sounds such as scared screams，came from the left.Also，the brain isn't usually as active as it is when hearing sounds from the front or right.
However，scientists still don't know the reason for this.In the future，scientists want to learn more about this and also see if other body parts have such differences，such as the left and right hand.
Humans have a unique way of reacting to sounds as previous studies pointed out.For example，people are more alert when they hear sounds from the back.Also sounds that travel toward a person may cause more fear than those traveling away.These can be explained by evolution.In the past，when humans lived in the wild，sounds that were getting closer or from the back were usually very dangerous.
（1）If you say sweet words to someone's left ear，the person will be .
A.more surprised
B.more relaxed
C.happier
D.calmer
（2）What can we learn from Paragraph 3？
A.The left ear can protect people from negative sounds.
B.When we say bad words，we should speak to people's right ear.
C.The human's left brain is usually more positive than the right one.
D.The brain will be more active when positive sounds come from the left.
（3）What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A.Different explanations of why humans fear sounds.
B.Dangers humans know from sounds in the past.
C.Humans have the ability to know where sounds come from naturally.
D.Humans have evolved to react to sounds differently by their directions.
（4）In which section of a magazine can you read the text？
A.Health and sport.
B.Science and humans.
C.History and technology.
D.Population and environment.

Before creating a personal learning plan，you need to find your goal.Your goal should be possible，yet challenging enough to challenge you.It should also be important enough that you'll focus on it over other things.（1） .For example，how would you define（定义） success in your new skill？Be sure to have a clear finish line in mind for your goals.
