13、Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her … until one day a letter arrived.
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelop(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read：
Dear Huw，
I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but …
Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw：
Best wishes
Megan
He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：
After all these years, but I've just found your letter to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.
Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said, “__▲__， my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyways, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I will live at the same address.
Best wishes，
Megan

15、Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.

16、 It seems like technology is everywhere. Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. They constantly (持续地) require our attention. We text our friends with them during the day, sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.
In the future, technology will no longer be interrupting us all the time. Instead, we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 20s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we don’t pay much attention to it. According to Mark, the best technology should be invisible (隐形的) and let you live your life.
We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives. Do you have a smoke alarm (警报器) in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you it’s there when you’ve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensors (传感器), the lights turn on. You don’t think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.
In the future, we can use calm technology to open the curtains (窗帘) for us in the morning, to turn down the heat when we leave, or even to choose the best music for us. The minute we walk through the door, our house will turn on the lights and music, and perhaps even start to prepare our dinner!
1．Which of the following is an example of calm technology?
A．A computer. B．A smart phone. C．A smoke alarm. D．A radio.
2．What does the underlined word “interrupting” mean?
A．Hurting. B．Protecting. C．Helping. D．Troubling.
3．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．Calm technology keeps us safe in many ways.
B．Calm technology can help you to do housework.
C．Calm technology has been used in our daily lives.
D．Calm technology plays an important part in schools.
4．What can’t we learn from the last paragraph?
A．We can use it to open the curtains in the morning.
B．We can use it to turn down the heat when we leave.
C．We can use it to choose the best music.
D．We can use it to wash dishes.
5．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The light won’t go on unless we touch the sensor.
B．Calm technology will make our life more convenient.
C．People will depend more on smart phones in the future.
D．People won’t have to work because of calm technology.

17、Can you remember a face quickly and never forget it? If so, then you could be a super recognizer.
Usually it is easy for someone to recognize the faces of their family members and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they have only seen once. However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 per cent of faces they have ever seen. According to the Daily Mail, at least one in 50 people are super recognizers.
A study was carried out in Bournemouth University of UK recently. Researchers tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces. They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person's nose. They also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability is restricted(有限的) only to face recognition.
Another important finding is that there are two subtypes(子类型) of super recognition. Some never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people. In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at recognizing faces in a crowd.
These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help police find known troublemakers and even missing people in the crowd.
1．The super recognizers can remember ________ of the faces they've ever seen.
A．all
B．at least 80 per cent
C．at least 50 per cent
D．half
2．What did the university's study find about super recognizers?
A．They spend the same time on one's eyes and nose.
B．They pay more attention to a person's nose.
C．They are a lot smarter than other people.
D．They are also very good at voice recognition.
3．What are the two subtypes of super recognition?
a. One type can decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.
b. One type can only recognize children's faces.
c. One type can remember faces they've seen forever.
d. One type can easily draw a picture of the faces they saw.
A．a，c B．b，c C．c，d D．a，d
4．What does the underlined word “applied” mean in the passage?
