Ways to improve your memory
The demand for ways to improve memory is higher in students than it is in adults.Students often come across new knowledge in different areas that they need to store for exams.(36)C.Here are three effective ways to improve your memory as a student.
.(37)A
Research shows that learning activities that take more than two hours without a break are less productive when compared to those that take one hour or 30 minutes.Students are likely to remember things they learn over a short period of time.Make sure you take breaks between learning sessions to help improve your memory.
●Try to relax
Relaxing should be an essential part of your learning process.Scientists have proven that stronger and lasting memories can be achieved when a person relaxes.(38)F.Deep breathing is one of the most popular relaxation techniques.Establish a quiet environment and find a comfortable position.Then go through a deep breathing process for at least 15minutes.
●Train the brain
Students should give their brains a workout in order to improve their memory.At times,the brain needs the right stimulation to keep growing and developing.You need to come up with a brain-boosting activity that is suitable for you.(39)EWrite a short story and then try to use seven to nine words to describe it.You can also do games and puzzles to help improve your memory.
(40)G.The techniques discussed above will help you to improve your memory significantly.

A.Distribute learning
B.Enrich learning activities
C.Some students suffer with memory problems
D.Like a muscle,memory can stretch and grow with a workout
E.For instance,you can prepare a list of items and try to memorize them
F.You need to use different relaxation techniques in order to improve your memory
G.In summary,a good memory is an important advantage to any student who wants to improve his or her grades.

分析 学生在记忆方面非常重要,但有的学生存在记忆问题,文章就如何提高记忆能力给出了相应的建议.

解答 36-40 C A F E G
36.C 上下文理解.第一段主要讲学生有很多知识要去记忆,但是有的学生在记忆上却出现了问题,紧接着给出了提高记忆的方法,故选C.
37.A 概括题.根据这段的介绍,特别是第一句Research shows that learning activities that take more than two hours without a break are less productive when compared to those that take one hour or 30 minutes得知,研究表明学习活动如果超过两小时不休息,那么学习的效率会低下,所以建议我们要分散学习,故选A.
38.F 细节题.从这段后面看出,Deep breathing、Establish a quiet environment and find a comfortable position这些都是放松的方式,故选F.
39.E 上下文理解.根据You need to come up with a brain-boosting activity that is suitable for you可知,你需要想一些促进大脑的一些活动,紧接着举例,故选E.
40.G 概括总结题.最后一段是总结段落,好的记忆尤其对学生提高成绩来说非常重要,故选G.

3.Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school?Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all-Yes,that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons!Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty?Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity.While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.
Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas,who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480students across three elementary schools.The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.
All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better,when allowed to stand.The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades.They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to"sit still",older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.
American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks.Four Catholic schools in Perth,Australia,which have been testing them since October 2013,have seen similar results.In May 2014,Grove House Primary School in Bradford,West Yorkshire,became Europe's first test one,with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms.While official results are not out yet,early reactions from both teachers and students,have been extremely encouraging.
The findings of these studies and others done previously,all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers-it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.


32.According to the first paragraph,what may make the students at school unhappy is thatC.
A.they have to exchange desks with each other
B.they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats
C.there are no seats for them to sit in class
D.the officials show no sympathy to them at all
33.According to the teachers,older students may not like stand-up desks becauseC.
A.they are cleverer than younger students    
B.they are easily tired of standing long
C.they have formed the habit of sitting       
 D.they do badly in class while standing
34.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?B
A.The standing desks can't be used at all.
B.It is good for students to use stand-up desks.
C.More tests should be done in other schools.
D.The students are different in personality.
35.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?D
A.Because the educators can draw the students'attention.
B.Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.
C.Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.
D.Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.
17.You feel strange about it,but characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do.Sometimes they cause trouble,take on lives of their own,or even work against the writer.It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors:famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so"wrong"that when he'd finished his first version,he threw it away and started again.
Of course it's not the characters'fault.The problem lies with the author,who often creates works according his own experiences.Take Stephen King,who admitted that it is more difficult for him to write characters like Carrie nowadays because his own circumstances have changed."It is definitely harder,"King said,"When I wrote Carrie many years ago.I was only one step away from physical labor."
This is also true for characters'ages,added King."When you have small children,I t is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time.But your kids grow up.It's been harden for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone."
For other authors,such as Karen Fowler,there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks:boredom."I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon,"she says."She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for here time and class,but they were not attitudes I liked.Eventually I grew quite bored with her.You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with,but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you."
According to Neel Mukherjee,it was Adinath,a character in The Lives of Others,who made him work the hardest."I think struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness,as Adinath's is,without making that feature define him,"Mukherjee says.But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest,he continues,arguing that"when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable.""That sometimes happens,"Mukherjee says,"I celebrate it."

33.What can we infer about Stephen King's book Carrie?D
A.It was his most difficult book to write.
B.It was the first successful novel King wrote.
C.There were few children featured in the story.
D.Some of its main characters were working class.
34.Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon?C
A.She disagreed with the character's attitudes.
B.The age difference between the two was too large.
C.She found the character very uninteresting.
D.The historical setting made accuracy difficult.
35.What does Neel Mukherjee think of h is difficult-to-write characters?B
A.They bear the personal feature of weakness.
B.They are what the author treasures in writing.
C.They are often troublesome and unwelcome.
D.They are unpredictable and hard to define.
4.Learning a foreign language changes the way we see the world,according to new research.
Panos Athanasopoulos,of Newcastle University,has found that bilingual speakers think differently to those who only use one language.
Working with both Japanese and English speakers,he looked at their language use,along with the length of time they had been in the country,and matched this against how they perceived(感知) the colour blue.
Previous research has shown that colour perception is an ideal way of testing bilingual concepts because there is a huge variation between where different languages place boundaries on the colour spectrum(色谱).
In Japanese,for example,there are additional basic terms for light blue(mizuiro) and blue(ao),which are not found in English.
"We found that people who only speak Japanese distinguished more between light and dark blue than English speakers,"said Dr Athanasopoulos."The degree to which Japanese-English bilinguals resembled either type depended on which of their two languages they used more frequently."
Most people tend to focus on how to do things such as ordering food or using public transport when they learn another language to help them get by,but this research has shown that there is a much deeper connection going on.
"As well as learning vocabulary and grammar you're also unconsciously learning a new way of seeing the world,"said Dr Athanasopoulos."There's a close link between language and culture.If you're learning language in a classroom you are trying to achieve something specific,but when you're immersed(沉浸)in the culture and speaking it,you're thinking in a completely different way."

32.What can we learn about bilingual speakers?D
A.They live abroad.
B.They speak Japanese.
C.They speak English.
D.They can use two languages.
33.The terms for light blue and dark blue are not found in English mainly becauseC.
A.English speakers don't like the color blue
B.English speakers can hardly perceive the color blue
C.the two colours make little difference to English speakers
D.the two colours are not so important to English speakers
34.What does the underlined part"a much deeper connection''in Paragraph 6 refer to?A
A.A new culture.
B.Vocabulary and grammar.
C.Learning language in a classroom.
D.A new way to learn another language
35.The conclusion of the new research is that foreign language learning makes a personA.
A.see the world in a different way
B.1earn a language in a different way
C.pay more attention to culture
D.perceive colours differently.

2.Tipping isn't a big part of British culture,unlike in North America,where waiters and waitresses are paid below minimum wage.Tips are usually appreciated,but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.
In casual restaurants,where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table,tipping is uncommon.You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish.In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table,it's customary to tip around 10percent.In some restaurants,a service charge may be added to the bill automatically,typically 10or 12.5percent.In this case,you don't need to add a further tip.When you pay by credit card,the machine may ask if you want to add a tip.Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying-if so you don't need to add a tip on the machine.You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service.In some cases a restaurant may print"service not included"on the bill or menu.This is a request for a tip.You're not forced to offer anything,but 10percent would be normal in this situation.Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.
If you use a taxi,round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter.On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to trip 2or 3pounds if the driver helps with your bags.
Be sure to check a country's tipping culture before you start your tip.For more information,visit TripAdvisor.com.
