Emma had two exams that day — physics and history. She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Alice looked at her, and then looked away quickly. Emma thought Alice looked pleased, because she didn’t have a problem with physics, she didn’t have a problem with anything...Miss Perfect!

“I thought we were friends, but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks now. she promised to help me go over for the physics exam too, but then she’s forgotten all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy.” Emma thought angrily. At that moment, Mr. Read asked all the students into the exam room.

Emma couldn’t answer some physics questions. Suddenly she saw Alice sitting two rows in front of her. Emma couldn’t believe it! Alice was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Alice always got such good grades? She felt really angry at Alice, and thought about telling the teacher, but...“Stop writing,” said Mr. Read and started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Emma hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!

Emma wanted to talk to Alice at lunchtime, but she couldn’t find her anywhere. Emma went to the library to prepare for the history exam, which was her favorite. But she couldn’t concentrate. “Unfair! Alice was getting good grades by cheating all that time.” She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. Just then, Mr. Read walked past her table. “Mr. Read...”

Emma was sitting behind Alice again in the history exam that afternoon. Mr. Read wanted her to look at Alice and agreed if she saw that Alice was cheating in the exam.

9 . In English it’s common to say, “I know this town like the back of my hand!” While we may know our towns really well, how well do we actually know our hands? Maybe not quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.

Matthew Longo and his team from University College London studied the left hands of100 people. With their hands placed palms down under a board, Longo’s team gave the instruction to point to their knuckles (关节) and fingertips with a marker. How did they do? Not that well.

“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. He said they also seemed to think their fingers were shorter than their true lengths. People were most accurate (准确的) when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up to their pinkies (小指).

“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. Humans know where different parts of our bodies are, even if we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint (关节) is straight or not,” said Longo. “We also need to know the distances between our joints,” he went on. Our brains know the sizes and shapes of our bodies from the maps they make for themselves. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” he said.

Maybe maps don’t need to be perfect. But why aren’t our brains more accurate? Longo said our brains “see” areas based on our sense of touch, with the stronger the sense of touch in a specific body part, the bigger that body part seems. An example is our lips. As they have more nerves (神经) than our noses, our brain’s map shows our lips are bigger. The same thing can happen with body parts that have a lot of nerves. If you’ve ever had something stuck in your teeth, it probably felt huge! That’s because our tongues also have lots of nerves.

1. What did Matthew Longo and his team find from their study?

A．Their left hands are much wider than their right hands.

B．The length of all fingers can be marked accurately.

C．People don’t know their hands as well as they think.

D．People did best pointing at the position of knuckles.

2. Why do our lips seem bigger than our noses?

A．Our lips have a more important function than our noses.

B．There are more nerves in our noses than in our lips.

C．Our mental map must prefer the lip to the nose.

D．Our sense of touch in our lips is much stronger.

3. What conclusion can we draw about the experiment?

A．People don’t care about something around us at all.

B．Our hometown is to us what hands are to our body.

C．Our bodies can be different from how we imagine them.

D．People lose their sense of position if they can’t see.

4. Which is the best title for the text?

A．Protect Our Bodies	B．Explore Our Bodies
C．The Back of Our Hand	D．Perfect Parts of Our Bodies
