题目内容

A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your child's hearing ability is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he's heard at school.

    Why should this be? It's because he's not using his hearing ability to help him remember and understand what he's been taught.

    Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. They've got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. They've got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor bearing and seeing memories. Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.

    But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives （使……不能） the child of the full use of his natural senses.

    Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son's hearing. "But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me," she said.

    "My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory," I said, "but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."             

    "Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy's hearing was all right. So, that proves  you're right on that point," admitted Mrs. Alien. "So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln."

    "You can do a lot to improve William's hearing memory, but it'll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately." I cautioned.

    I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.

1. Those who have poor hearing memories         . 

    A．can not hear sounds clearly

    B．are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned

    C．are poor at learning things by what they have heard

    D．have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of

2. The author suggested that Mrs. Alien try some ways        .

    A．to train her son's hearing memory

    B．to make use of her son's natural senses

    C．to make good use of what her son heard

    D．to understand the trouble in which her son was involved

3. In Paragraph 5, the underlined word "incredulous" means         .

    A．unbelieving           B．believable        C．believing             D．incredible

4. Which of the following is true?

    A．Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school.

    B．Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.

    C．The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.

    D．The author didn't suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William.

The secret of happiness
An old man walked slowly with a cane(手杖)into the restaurant .His old jacket, worn-out shoes and warm personality made him stand out from the usual crowd.
A young waitress watched him move toward a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said: “Here, sir……let me help you with that chair.”
Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded(点头)a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him sit. Then she put his came against the table.
“Thank you, miss.”he said, kindly.
“You’re welcome, sir.”she said.
After he had finished his breakfast, the waitress brought him the change(零钱)from his bill. He left it on the table. She helped him up and walked with him to the front door.
When she went to clean his table, she found a business card under his plate and note on a napkin(纸巾). Under the napkin was a 100-dollar bill.
The note on the napkin read: “Dear miss, I respect you very much and I can see you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. (3)You have found the secret of happiness. Your kindness will shine through to all those who meet you.”
The man she had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where she worked. This was the first time that she or any of the other workers had ever seen him in person.
