Dear Li Ming，
I'm sorry to know that you feel distressed at your new class．One of the reasons，I believe，is that you might be too shy to talk confidently with your classmates and maybe you are afraid that your classmates will make fun of your accent．

I hope you can adapt to the new school life as soon as possible．
Yours
Li Hua．

18．Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since．A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water．He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away．He can play，catch and hit a ball as well as his son．A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins"Twinkle，twinkle，little star"or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears．
One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional（额外的） learning trials（尝试）increase the length（长度） of time we will remember it．
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them．We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as"Twinkle，twinkle，little star"and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks．We not only learn but overlearn．
The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception（例外） to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood．
The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course．By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned．A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development．

12．The author explains the law of overlearning byD．
A．presenting research findings
B．setting down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
13．According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables isA．
A．a result of overlearning
B．a special case of cramming
C．a skill to deal with math problems
D．a basic step towards advanced studies
14．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 4refer to？B
A．Commonly accepted rules．
B．The multiplication tables．
C．Things easily forgotten．
D．School subjects．
15．What is the author's opinion on cramming？B
A．It leads to failure in college exams．
B．It's helpful only in a limited way．
C．It's possible to result in poor memory．
D．It increases students'learning interest．

5．Western civilization has been deeply influenced by Greek Culture．Many words from Greek mythology （神话） contributed to English vocabulary today．Greek mythology tells of the myths of ancient Greece，concerning its gods，heroes and the nature of the world．It attempts to explain the origin of the world and the adventures and lives of the gods，heroes and natural creatures．The following words exactly come from Greek mythology．
Echo； Narcissus
Echo was a fairy （仙女）．She got the punishment of saying nothing but repeat others，last sentence said to her because she kept talking and talking before．Echo fell in love with Narcissus，but she was refused．Narcissus told Echo never to fall in love with him．Depressed and heartbroken by the hopeless love，Echo died，leaving"I fall in love with you"echoing in the cave．Nemesis，the god of revenge，determined to punish Narcissus for his coldness by making Narcissus love his own reflection in water．Finding it impossible to get together with his image，Narcissus died with sadness and transformed into a daffodil （水仙花） by the riverside．
Daphne
Daphne，one daughter of a river-god，was shot by Cupid's lead arrow．Cupid，the god of love，shot a golden arrow at Apollo，the god of the sun，which made Apollo fall in love with Daphne．Crazily chased by Apollo，Daphne had no way to escape．However，Daphne was too shy to accept Apollo，so she begged to have her transformed into a laurel （月桂树）．In English，Daphne refers to laurel．There also exists an idiom"as shy as Daphne"．
Atlas
Atlas was one of the Greek gods．Because he offended （冒犯） Zeus，the ruler of Gods and men，Atlas was ordered to carry the sky cm his shoulder．A Belgium geographer used Atlas to name his collection of maps with the pictures of Atlas who was carrying the Earth in it．Later，people refer to Atlas as the collection of maps．

D．Because she was too shy to accept Apollo．
18．D is referred to as the collection of maps．
A．Daphne
B．Echo
C．Narcissus
D．Atlas．

2．Most episodes （片段） of absent-mindedness-forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention．"says Schacter．"You're supposed to remember something，but you haven't encoded it deeply．"
"Encoding"，Schacter explains，"is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major effect on remembering it later．Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations．If you put your mobile phone in a pocket，for example，and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation，you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）．""Your memory itself isn't failing you，"says Schacter．"Rather，you didn't give your memory system the information it needed．"
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness．"A man who can recite sports statistics from 30years ago，"says Zelinski，"may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox．"Women have slightly better memories than men，possibly because they pay more attention to their environment．And memory depends on just that．
"Reminders can help prevent absent-mindedness，"says Schacter．"But be sure the reminder is clear and available，"he says．If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch，put it on the kitchen table-don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket．
Another common episode of absent-mindedness：walking into a room and wondering why you're there．Most likely，you were thinking about something else．"Everyone does this from time to time，"says Zelinski．The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room，and you'll likely remember．

32．Why does the writer think that encoding is important？B
A．It helps us understand our memory system better．
B．It enables us to remember something from our memory．
C．It expands our memory ability greatly．
D．It slows down the process of losing our memory．
33．Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder？C
A．Because it will easily get lost．
B．Because it's not dear enough for you to read．
C．Because it's out of your sight．
D．Because it might get mixed up with other things．
34．What do we learn from the last paragraph？C
A．If we pay more attention to one thing，we might forget another．
B．Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment．
C．Doing something again helps improve our memory．
D．If we keep forgetting things，we'd better return to where we were．
35．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．The process of gradual memory loss．
B．The causes of absent-mindedness．
C．The influence of the environment on memory．
D．A way of encoding and remembering．
