【推荐3】Every year thousands of people are killed or hurt in road accidents in the UK.

There are rules to make the roads safe, but people do not always follow the rules.

Sometimes they are careless. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer. How can we make the roads safer?

Remember this rule. In the UK traffic keeps to the left. Cars, buses and bicycles must all keep to the left side of the road. In many other countries traffic keeps to the right.

Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right and left. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children or very old people, help them cross the road safely. We must teach young children how to cross the road safely. We must always give them a good example. Little children must not play in the streets.

【推荐1】Picture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Should you eat it? It seems that you shouldn’t for many reasons, because it may be bad for your brains.

Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us put on weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating may also be bad for our brains—it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.

“We believe that late-night eating may affect our learning by affecting (影响) the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh. PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the bad memory.”

For the study, the researchers did an experiment (实验) on mice. The mice were either allowed to eat during the daytime or during the night. They had the same amount of sleep and food. Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice and noticed that the mice eating during the night were less able to remember things well.

So think twice before the midnight snack—it might be bad for more than your weight.

1. The writer asks readers to picture the scene in the first paragraph to ________.

A．interest them and lead into the topic

B．tell them a story about late-night eating

C．give them some information about the scientist

D．ask them to have a discussion and give opinions

2. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．studying for long	B．a nice pie in the fridge
C．a new study on eating	D．late-night eating

3. The purpose of the experiment on mice is ________.

A．to find out whether eating late can affect memory	B．to check the brains of different mice
C．to find out how much food mice need daily	D．to show mice are not good at remembering things

4. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A．Eating snacks affects memory	B．Late-night eating hurts brains
C．Staying up late is bad	D．Keep away from snacks
