14．Memory，they say，is a matter of practice and exercise．If you have the wish and really make a conscious（有意识的）effort，then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things．But even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you．
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen．One morning last week，for example，I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night，yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before．
Memory"tricks"work the other way as well．Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did．One day last month，for example，I was sitting in a barbershop（理发店）waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office．
We always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents（事件）caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness．Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years．Unfortunately，however，absent-mindedness is not always funny．There are times when"tricks"of our memory can cause us great trouble．

11．Roger Alvarez，22，was one of the 52percent of students who didn't make it through his senior year at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles．
He dropped out several years ago，but by the time he was in ninth grade，Alvarez says he already knew he wasn't going to graduate．
"There's a certain amount of knowledge you have to have when you enter in a specific grade，and I didn't have it．"Alvarez says，"Every class I used to go in，I was like，‘Do I know this？I don't know this．'"
It was a shameful attitude，he tells his former English teacher，Antero Garcia，29．
"You were determined to help me，but what was I willing to give？I could have actually tried．"
For his part，Garcia wants to know how he could have reached out to Alvarez better，but Alvarez says Garcia had always been helpful．
"I mean，you could cheer me up，and then I see other students doing way better，"Alvarez says，"So then，I get nervous．I get stuck，and then my motivation goes to the floor．"He felt the situation was hopeless．
"You talked to me like if I could do it，but inside me，I knew I couldn't．"he tells Garcia，"I just didn't want you to think that I'm…stupid．"
Now，school is a life tool that Alvarez says he's missing-but his teacher isn't to blame．
"Always，I just wanted you to know…you were a good teacher，and I always respected you．"he tells Garcia，"Some teachers，I felt like they only wanted to teach a certain group of people．But you looked at me and you paid attention．"
"Maybe it didn't get me to graduate，but there're a lot of teachers，they don't take the time to take a look．And it was never your fault．"

12．If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it．how can you tell whether it's still edible （可以吃的）？The easiest way is to check the"expiration date （保质期）"printed on the wrapper．If that date has already passed，you're likely to throw the candy away．But is that really necessary？
According to a report，tons of food is wasted each year．largely because people don't fully understand what expiration dates，o"use-by dates"，actually mean．
Food dating was introduced in the 1970s，because consumers wanted more information about the things that they were eating．When they first showed up．use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions．However，most customers mistakenly believed that use-by dates indicated how safe the food was，and they still largely do．But the truth is that these dates aren't related to the risk of food poisoning or food-borne illness．according to Time News．
Eggs，for example，can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase，even though the use by date is much earlier．When their use-by dates pass，strawberry juice may lose its red color and biscuits may lose their crunch  （松脆的口感） but they are not harmful．
To stop consumers from misinterpreting the date and reduce the waste，scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates．
But this won't be a mistake that is easy to correct．since people have believed it for so long Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently-some are still edible long after their use-by date while others are not．
As a result，food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to spoil．

A．eggs can be kept longer than their use-by dates
B．strawberry juice is harmful if it loses its color
C．biscuits will go bad if their use-by dates pass
D．some food is still edible after its use-by date
54．What does the underlined word"misinterpreting in Paragraph 5mean？C
A．making use of                         B．paying no attention to

13．I think the reason why Wang Baoqiang-a young actor，became so popular is that the character he acted on the Spring Festival Gala Evening stage stands for a special group in China off-farm workers．
（61）Asis known，off-farm workers make great（62）contribution（contribute） to the development of our modern cities．They are actively involved in various kinds of jobs，（63）includingbaby-sitting，building，which are usually tiring，dangerous and dirty．There is（64）nodoubt that without them many of the construction projects，such as the Olympics ones，would have to be held up for lack of manpower．
However，as（65）asaying goes，"A coin has two sides，"（66）sois the case of off-farm workers．
They have difficulty in getting their children into schools because they are not regular residents in the city．On the other hand，being（67）ignorant（ignore），some of them would become a potential threat to the peace and（68）stability（stable） of the society．
As far as I am concerned，we should appreciate the great contribution（69）made（make） to them and at the same time we should make them educated better and live a better life，and（70）thusthey will not be a threat to our society．
