18．There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way people behave．Moreover，it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of entertainment，whether it is a television，a video tape or a DVD．Therefore，the effects of the visual（可视的） media cannot be ignored．
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them persuade people to buy certain products．Television advertising is widespread and nowadays，even movie theaters permit advertisements．Another way TV or movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted （歪曲） one，depending on what type of program they watch．Those who watch news and educational programs can learn many new things while those who watch entertainments shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks．It may make them dissatisfied with their own lives．Finally perhaps the most easily influenced viewers are children，who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies．
With the ever-increasing popularity（普及） of video entertainment，society must pay attention to these effects．Television and movies，while entertaining and informative（信息的）cannot take the place of experiences．

50．From the passage we know that watching television and movies canC．
A．make people live better                   B．make people feel pleased
C．make people change their way of life      D．make people live worse
51．The writer believes thatC．
A．people may take no notice of the effects of the visual media
B．people must pay attention to the effects of the video media
C．the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatly
D．the visual media only affect young people

A．Those who watch news and educational program can earn a lot of money．
B．Most people possess great wealth and good looks．
C．People buy products when they are persuaded by TV advertising．
D．Never believe advertisements on TV or in movie theater．

A．The Influence of TV and Movies      B．The Popularity of TV and Movies

8．Common phrases like"no pains，no gains"give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study．It's almost as though the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear．
When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea，all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book．It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult．Just as children learn from playing，we can learn from doing，or at least from study techniques that interest us，rather than make us switch off．
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying．This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work，you are troubled by how unfair it is that you must study．
When you hate your work it's very difficult to make yourself star，or approach it with any kind of structure or enthusiasm．This can be part of a vicious cycle（恶性循环） that traps you into ineffective revision，your poor progress fuelling further annoyance．
Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and，thankfully，it's perfectly possible to work in the company of other people．We just need to learn how to deal with distractions（使人分心的事物）．
It's not necessary to avoid all company，just idle（懒散的） company．Studying in the same room as someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible．People who are bored and looking to be distracted，however，are terrible to work around．They constantly try to keep others in conversation．
It's also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities that you would rather be doing than studying．Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision．
If being around others means working in a noisy environment，a pair of headphones and some background music can block out even noisy children．They also act as a psychological barrier，so that people think twice before interrupting you．
When you're studying for a big exam，it seems like your whole life is taken up with study．Friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation（孤立）．And connecting with other people makes us happy，so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize．

9．No one knows why people dream，but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn．In a recent study，scientists found a connection between nap-time （午睡时间） dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill．
So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice，practise，practise---and then sleep on it．
"I was surprised by this finding，"Robert Stickgold，a Harvard University scientist who led the study．
In the study，100 college students each spent an hour on a computer，trying to get through a virtual maze （虚拟迷宫）．The maze was difficult，and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried---making it even more difficult．
Then，for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break，half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were told to sleep．Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts．Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had．
Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM，or non-REM sleep．REM stands for"rapid eye movement"，which is what happens during REM sleep．This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper，although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep．Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving，during NREM sleep．Other studies have found a connection between NREM bring activity and learning ability．
Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze．Later，when these four people tried the computer maze again，they were able to complete it faster．
Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn；t help a person learn---it's the other way around．He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning．
All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time，which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult．People who had other dreams，or people didn't sleep，didn't show the same improvement．
 
36．In the first stage of the study，the participants were asked toB
A．design a maze on computer
B．find their way out of a maze
C．decide where to begin a maze
D．remember a location in a maze
37．What happened to the participants during the break？D
A．Half of them were woken up when they started to dream．
B．Half of them were asked to dram about the maze．
C．All of them were asked to describe their thoughts．
D．Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes．
38．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it．
B．Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning．
C．During NREM sleep，people usually don't dream．
D．Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep．
39．In the first stage of the study，the participants were asked toB
A．design a maze on computer
B．find their way out of a maze

7．Young Jack moved to a new house．When entering his new bedroom，he saw that it was full of toys but it was tidy．That day he played all he liked，but went to bed without tidying up．

8．John Blanchard stood up from the bench，straightened his Army uniform，and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station．He looked for the girl whose heart he knew，but whose face he didn't，the girl with the rose．
His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library．Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued[1]，not with the words of the book，but with the notes penciled in the margin．The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind．In the front of the book，he discovered the previous owner's name，Miss Hollis Maynell．With time and effort he located her address．She lived in New York City．He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond．The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II．
    During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail．Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart．A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph，but she refused．She felt that if he really cared，it wouldn't matter what she looked like．
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe，they scheduled their first meeting-7：00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York．"You'll recognize me，"she wrote，"by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel[1]．"So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved，but whose face he'd never seen．
    I'll let Mr．Blanchard tell you what happened：A young woman was coming toward me，her figure long and slim．Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears； her eyes were blue as flowers．Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness，and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive．I started her，entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose．As I moved，a small，attractive smile curved her lips．"Going my way，sailor？"she murmured．
    Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her，and then I saw Hollis Maynell．She was standing almost directly behind the girl．A woman well past 40，she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat．She was more than plump，her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes．The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away．I felt as though I was split in two，so keen was my desire to follow her，and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own．
    And there she stood．Her pale，plump face was gentle and sensible，her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle．I did not hesitate．My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her．
This would not be love，but it would be something precious，something perhaps even better than love，a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful．I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman，even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment．"I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard，and you must be Miss Maynell．I am so glad you could meet me； may I take you to dinner？"
　　The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile．"I don't know what this is about，son，"she answered，"but the young lady in the green suit who just went by，she begged me to wear this rose on my coat．And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner，I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street．She said it was some kind of test!"
    It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom． The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive．"Tell me whom you love，"Houssaye wrote，"And I will tell you who you are．"
