        Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world's rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.

        Destruction of the world's rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers' students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.

        So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. "The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said, "It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.

        Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano.

        Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

    (1)、How much did Myers' students pay for the rain forest they bought?
    A、$25 B、$75 C、$80 D、$2000
    (2)、What did Myers and his students do at the beginning of the trip?
    A、They went into the rain forest. B、They bought acres of rain forest. C、They took a boat ride down a river. D、They visited Costa Rica's active volcano.
    (3)、The word "Destruction" in paragraph 2 probably means "the process of being ______."
    A、destroyed (破坏) B、developed (发展) C、described(描述) D、discovered.(发现)
    (4)、When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they ___________.
    A、felt excited B、felt angry C、jumped off the trees D、left the rain forest
    (5)、The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students _______.
    A、did something to protect rain forest B、wanted to buy the rain forest in Costa Rica C、were interested in the culture of Costa Rica D、went to the rain forest for various fun activities

        There are many things you can do to improve your memory(记忆力). Among them are many kinds of useful ways are well as taking special care of your health.

        It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits(习惯). Learning a new skill helps your brain(大脑)to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention(注意) to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories. An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.

        Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.

        In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.

        It was a dark and cold night. The taxi driver didn't have even one passenger(乘客) all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"

         "To Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel happy any more. He knew the young man could give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

        After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last. "You should pay me fifteen dollars," the driver said to the young man. "What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip. I won't pay you one dollar more than I paid to the other taxi driver last week."
