请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I stopped the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked out of the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old ,running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱）.The boy would then fall to the grass, get up and without looking back at his mother, still with a smile on his face.
At that moment ,I thought to myself, “Why can’t most adults this way?” Most adults,when they fall down, they would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. They would end up too afraid to try again for fear of failure.
Kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed. While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was also touched by the manner in which he did. I learned a lot from that and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits（追求) in life.What did the boy’s mother do when the boy was running freely on the grass?
How would adults feel when someone saw them fall?
What do kids often treat their falling down as?
What was the writer deeply impressed by?
What do you think failure is?(请自拟一句话作答)

You know that eating a sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong. But do you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter? Here are some steps toward a smarter brain.
Limit your TV viewing
(1) Never spend too much time on TV viewing, for it needs very little brain activities. Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do. If you do watch TV, choose something educational and meaningful.
Travel
Travelling to another country forces you to see and do things in a fresh way, bringing stimulation to the brain.
Learn a new language
Learning a new language involves different learning methods. Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems that you may meet in later years.
Read often
As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren’t familiar. Reading makes your vocabulary much larger if you always search for words and definitions that you don’t know. Each week, choose an animal, a bird or fish, and read everything you can about it. Stretch your brain as you become an expert on the subject.
Calculate （计算）when you shop
As you put things in your grocery cart, total everything in your head. See how close you get to the actual total.
Use your non-dominant（不占优势的）hand
If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. Doing familiar things in a different way will make your brain create new neural （神经）networks.
Wechat（微信）
(2) Read messages from various people. They have different interests. And some say that learning to express yourself in just 100 words is a great brain challenge.
Have a try and do these every day. Little by little you can get into the habit of challenging your brain, and make your brain smarter!将（1）处翻译成汉语
___________________________________________将（2）处合并成一句
___________________________________________Why do you read often according to the passage? (至少两条)
______________________________________How many steps towards a smarter brain are mentioned in the passage?
______________________________________ Give a title of the passage.

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected
Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean.Some pieces of ice are huge，like moving islands.As temperatures have increased ，however，some of the ice has begun to disappear.Scientists have discovered huge waves in the arctic waters.
The waves were discovered by accident in May，2010.Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip.They wanted to study the icy waters.
The ship travelled east and stopped next to a large block of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen.Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the ice.
"We were ready to go but when I went out，I discovered many cracks around，" he remembers.
He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe.The farther in they went，he thought，the harder the ice would become.As they pushed forward，however，the ship experienced small waves，and then bigger ones.Soon，the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces.
Within an hour，Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high.The ship's navigation system finally recorded the largest waves.They were more than 20 feet in height.The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down，breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour.Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast.The waves in these areas used to be small.
The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming.That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waved or depend on sea ice to protect them.Wildlife like polar bears that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.
Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in icy waters.As waves break up ice ，seas will be more open，waves will be stronger.There are stormy times ahead.
根据短文内容，请用完整句子回答下列问题。
（1）When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters？
（2）What happened to the ice around the ship when the ship moved into the ice？
（3）How high were the largest waves recorded by the navigation system？
（4）What animals will be in danger because of the huge waves？
（5）What will people see in these icy waters？

Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture(家具) stores all over the country. The new store, in London’s Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began.
When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her.
To begin with, I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I didn’t get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I made candles of all shapes and sizes in my free time. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some money to buy some wax(蜡) to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to give us a hand. I paid them ￡1 for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle helped me to open my first shop in Portobello Road by lending me some money. Since then, I’venever looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

What did Kyra do in her free time when she was fourteen?
Who helped when Kyra and her mum couldn’t make enough candles?(no more than 5 words)

Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the world’s people.
In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.
