Like lots of other girls and boys，when Lisa Cao was a kid，she used to watch the Olympics. “I always wanted to be good at sport and I found athletic potential in my body”， the New York City citizen tells her friends. But there was no sport available so she took up piano lessons. Then，at the age of 15，she decided to drop the lessons and put her athletic potential to the test with running. At age 18，Lisa Cao ran her first-ever marathon in New York City. And now，the 27-year-old  has 54 marathons (26. miles) and ultramarathons (100miles) under her belt.
What does it take to be an ultramarathoner? A lot of devotion，even when difficulties occur sometimes. “Making time for running is really hard when life is so busy，” she says. “There’s a big work-life balance that I have to keep. I have to wake up earlier on the weekends. And oh，the potential for excuses! With NYC’s wild winters as of late，it’s easy to blame the weather，roll over in bed and put off a solid run. I have a fix for this，though，” she says. “Cute clothes. With the horrible weather， I bought cute clothes as motivation to run and actually wear them. ”
While she’s training during low season in the winter，Lisa Cao tries to run a “base” of 20 to 30 miles per week to stay prepared. During high season in the spring and summer，she’ll run around 30 to 40 miles，but she also gets a lot of quality miles from her races.
When did Lisa Cao run her first marathon?

What made Lisa Cao have the desire of joining in sports?

Why does Lisa Cao buy beautiful clothes in terrible weather?

Where is the text probably taken from?

Parents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most important things to get during this time is the backpack. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free. This makes the bag less likely to hinder (妨碍)other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school.
How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load.
Do children need special storage for the bag? If they will be carrying a laptop computer inside the new backpack，make sure that parents get a model that’s designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.
Are children going to use the bag for a long time? If they want to use a bag for a long time，parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for quality. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market.
Count the pockets. Backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets，and generally，the more pockets，the better. This allows children to organize their things，like pens and pencils inside small pockets.
Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting  the sweet compromise (折中）between form，function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for children’s needs.
Why do most students like bringing a backpack?

What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

The underlined word “bumps” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“      ”.

Which of the following can we know from the text?

Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably，mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue，yellow fever and  malaria.
Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now   shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.
Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas，which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.
But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects，with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal.
Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.
Then，the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter  colored floor and walls of the  tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said，at first，the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all.      “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”
This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human  or animal，they also follow  visual signals.
What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?

The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is      .

How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text ?

What can be the best title for the text?

When you begin to research your family history， you’ll get to know your parents and grandparents in a different way. You’ll see them through their memories of others. Here are some tips on how to write your family history：
    Record their memories on paper，on audio cassette or videotape.
Take photos of relatives. They should include the old homes where they lived and the places where ancestors are buried.   
Read every old letter. Go through any old letter you might have saved from your parents and relatives.      These will give you insight into common everyday events that almost everyone has forgotten.
     You may want to collect this history only as a family record for yourself and your children. Or you might want to have it printed in booklet form for family and any others who are interested in what your family has
done. Nowadays，with desktop publishing programs，you can even publish the family history yourself，without having to take it to a printer.
Keep memories alive. Family histories are fascinating.    There are always some people who neglected to write down the tales of the past and record the family stories. If you don’t do this now，some day you’ll say，“I wish I’d written all that information down for my children and future generations. ”

E. Write down your inner feeling.
F. In addition，remember those you’ve written them.
G. Meanwhile，search old photo albums of other relatives.
