【題目】How to improve your memory

There is no such thing as "bad memory",and everyone can improve their memory as long as they are not suffering from loss as a medical condition.【1】

Stop thinking that you have a "bad memory".Convince yourself that you do have a good memory that will improve.Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves that their memory is bad,that they are just not good with names and numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason.【2】

Use association（聯(lián)想）to remember facts.【3】For example,if you have a hard time remembering that JKF was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion,just picture the handsome president swimming in an ocean surrounded by happy pigs.

Involve several scenes.You can stimulate（刺激）more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information.【4】For example,the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later.

【5】By developing new mental skills,especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument,and challenging your brain with puzzles and games,you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological（生理學(xué)上的）function.

B.Give yourself some time to form a memory.

【題目】Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games, it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles—you can come together with them in the virtual world.

Bill Wyman, former bass player(貝斯手) in the Rolling Stones, has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own opinion suggest quite opposite.

Last year, I bought Guitar Hero Ⅲ for our 14-year-old son, Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

A few months later, while I was away on tour, a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along the track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack’s friends taught him how to play along to his favorite songs using just his index finger (食指)on the bass string. He got it right away.

Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players—how to strum(撥弄) the strings with one hand while making chord(和弦) shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now, preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument, it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognizable sound the first time he played it.

So let’s not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and, in our son’s case, gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

【1】What’s Bill Wyman’s attitude towards music video games?

A. CuriousB. Approving.C. Negative.D. Unconcerned.

【2】Which statement is TRUE about Jack’s first playing with a real electric guitar?

A. He did it successfully.

B. He taught his friends how to play.

C. He didn’t know how to play along to a song.

D. He didn’t know how to strum the instruments.

【3】What can we infer from Jack’s case?

A. Parents should encourage their kids.

B. Computer games are harmful to kids.

C. Kids should learn an instrument.

D. Guitar Hero is a useful game.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A. A new computer game

B. The story of a guitarist

C. In defense of Guitar Hero

D. The best way to play guitar

【題目】Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills (風(fēng)車) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

【1】What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?

A. Sailing a boat.

B. Producing electricity.

C. Grinding wheat into flour.

D. Pumping water from underground.

【2】One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that _________.

A. wind power is cleaner

B. it is one of the oldest power sources

C. it was cheaper to create energy from winds

D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs

【3】What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. The advantage of wind power.

B. The design of wind power plants.

C. The movement to save energy.

D. The global trend towards producing wind power.

【題目】D

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness with me. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and ＂too serious＂ about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: ＂Let’s start with a train whistle today.＂ We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had remarkable friends. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: ＂Yes, I must tell...＂ We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理學(xué)家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

【1】 In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to __________.

A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend’s house regularly

C. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend

【2】 In Paragraph 2, ＂We gave London to each other＂ probably means __________.

A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared

D. we parted with each other in London

【3】According to Paragraph 3, the author and her friend __________.

A. call each other regularly B. have similar personalities

C. enjoy writing to each other D. dream of meeting each other

【4】 In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to __________.

A. ask for professional help B. be left alone

C. stay with her best friend D. break the silence
