7.Do you have a habit of writing things down?Making time to write down certain things,such as our daily experiences,our goals,and our thoughts can change the way we live our lives.Here are 4ways that tell you writing things down can change your life.
(1)It clears your mind for higher-level thinking.
You can clear your mind by writing things down in two different ways:writing to-do lists and writing morning pages.David Allen,the author of Getting Things Done suggests writing down every task,activity and project you need to pay attention to.Writing down every"to-do"item that you can think of clears space in your head for more important topics.You can also write"morning pages",which was pioneered by Julia Cameron,author of The Artist's Way.Morning pages involves(牵涉)what's important in your mind.Through doing this first thing each morning,you clear your head in preparation for the day's most important thinking.
(2)It gives you a record of the past.
If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings,you'll soon have a record of your experiences.Keeping a diary is sometimes like talking a situation through with a friend.Reading back through this record also provides a valuable record about your past thought and feelings.You can recall some special moments or special events that you could have forgotten.Many people have dreams of writing a book.When you keep writing down things,you'll realize that you have written a book.
(3)You have a sense of achievement.
Writing things down can help you get a sense of achievement and can also raise your levels of self-trust.When you look back to see how successfully you've gone through and dealt with important decisions and difficult situations in the past,you'll have a sense of achievement and feel more confident in your ability to achieve your goals.Equally,if we write down everything we need to do in a special day or week,we have a sense of satisfaction (满足) when,having completed the task,we can cross the item off our list.
(4)It helps you think big.
Writing things down gives you space to think big and aim high.When we write things down,we enter a world of possibility and have a chance to make further plans.Writing our goals and dreams down makes it more likely that we'll achieve them one day.Writing down our goals is therefore the first step towards making them a reality.

15.Hemrietta(aged 16):The biggest problem with the environment is the ozone layer(臭氧层); there's a hole,and it's getting bigger.It's made by cars and aeroplanes-things give off fumes.There should be law that you aren't allowed to go to school by cars because the fumes go up into the ozone layer and mess it up.
Erym(also aged 16):The ozone layer's like a piece of paper covering a rock.It's meant to protect us.I'm scared that the hole will get bigger and move around the world and people will get cancer.I think about it sometimes in bed.That could happen in our time.We should stop using aerosols(喷雾),because they get pressed and all the poisons come out.And we could use horses instead of cars.
Hemrietta:We could get tandems--longer bikes,so children could ride on the back.Cars should be very,very expensive.I heard a woman on the radio saying she didn't care about the ozone layer because she wouldn't be alive,but it's our family who will die.
Erym:You also get bad pollution from burning down the rainforest.People should leave things alone if they don't own them.There should be fines for destroying the rainforest.And we should give money to poor people in Africa.
Hemrietta:We should spread out the people equally."All those who want to live in Africa,put your hands up!"And then we could spread out the food.There's enough to go around.We could easily grow it.England's a very rich and greedy country.
Erym:We use up far more of the earth than people in Africa,so it's a good idea for the whole world to discuss the environment,but not prime ministers,because they always vote for their own side.The Queen should go instead.

67.Both of the children share the idea thatD.
A.Prime ministers should vote for their own side

C.We should protect the environment in Africa
D.People should use environmentally-friendly transportation instead of cars
68.What view does Hemrietta hold?D
A.People shouldn't be allowed to use cars.
B.People live equally everywhere.
C.The prime ministers of the UK have taken proper measures.
D.Students should ride bikes instead of cars.

A.People get cancer because of the ozone layer.
B.People who have destroyed the rainforest will be punished.

C.The biggest problem with the environment and its cause.

Shine (1996)
Do you have a talent you're afraid to share with the world?David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be"one of the truly great pianists,"but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown.Ten years in a mental institution didn't weaken Helfgott's musical gift:When he was rediscovered,he was playing concertos in a bar.Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名),and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.

Stand and Deliver (1988)
Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher.Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one.Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail,Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things,like getting good grades in the AP exam.Despite the obstacles in their lives,the classmates accomplish their goals,thanks to Mr.Escalante's support.The real Jaime Escalante,the Best Teacher in America,says that Stand and Deliver is"90% truth,10% drama."

19.Many people complain that their memory is bad,particularly as they get older.Life would be so much easier if we could remember things (51)A.So how can we improve our memory?
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember.While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds,(52)D,psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long.The British psychologist E.C.Stanford seemed to (53)Bthis point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years.He found that he could remember no more than three words of them!(54)A,especially for remembering numbers,is‘chunking'(分块),or grouping the information.The following numbers would be (55)Bfor most of us to remember.1492178919931848.But look at them in‘chunks',and it becomes much easier.1492 1789 1993 1848.
So what about‘memory training'?We've all (56)Cpeople who can memorise packs of card by heart---how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it?(57)Cexperts,there are various ways of training your memory.Many of them (58)Dforming a mental picture of the items to be memorised.One method,which may be useful in learning foreign languages,is to create a picture in your mind (59)Da word you want to remember.Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember.People were asked to remember up to 120 words using this technique; when tested afterwards,on average,they were able to (60)A90 per cent of them!Surprisingly,however,there is nothing (61)Dabout these methods---they were around even in ancient times.Apparently the Roman general Publius Scipio could (62)Bhis entire army---35,000 men in total!
(63)B,not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun.For those studying large quantities of information,psychologists suggest that the best way to‘form (64)Cconnections'is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along.So,for example,if you were reading about a particular disease,you would ask yourself questions like:‘Do people get it from water?',‘What parts of the body does it affect?'and so on.This is said to be far more effective than time spent‘(65)A'reading and re-reading notes.

16.In the United States,30percent of the grown-up population has a"weight"problem.To many people,the cause is clear:they eat too much.But scientific experiments do little to support this idea.Going back to the American of 1910,we find that people were thinner than today,yet they are more food.In those days people worked harder physically,walked more,used machines much less,and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies,besides,have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people.In fact,some research work,such as 1970study of 3,545London office workers,reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average.
Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people.A study by the research group of School of Medicine at Stanford University found the following interesting facts.The more a man ran,the greater body fat he lost.The more he ran,the greater he needed for food.Thus,those who ran the most ate the most,yet lost the greater amount of body fat.

61.What kind of physical problem do many grown-up American have?C
A.They are too thin.                B.They work too hard.
C.They are too fat                   D.They lose too much body fat.
62.What has modern medical and scientific research reported to us?A
A.Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B.Fat people eat more food and are more active.
C.Fat people eat more food but lose greater amount of body fat.
D.Thin people run less,but eat more food.
63.Based on the number given in the article,if there are 500adult Americans,how many of them will have weight problem?D
A.30                B.50               C.100                D.150.
17.Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older,but men's minds decline(衰退) more than women's,according to the results of a worldwide survey.
    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains:men are better at dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial (三维空间) skills),while women tend to be better at recalling information from their memories (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age,but the results have been mixed.
    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women,while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people,and women live longer than men.The men tested are the survivors,"so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive (认知的) decline,"said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills:matching an object to its rotated (旋转的) form,matching lines shown from the same angle,typing as many words in a particular collection as possible in the given time,e.g."objects usually colored gray",and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.The first two were tasks which men are usually good at; the latter are almost controlled by women.
    Within each age group studied,men and women performed better in their separate task on average.Generally speaking,women showed obviously less decline than men though performance declined with age for both sexes.
71.The underlined word"inherent"in the second paragraph meansC.
A.difficult            B.native               C.natural          D.absolute
72.Which of the following tasks are men better at?A
A.Matching lines shown from the same angle.
B.Typing as many words in a particular category as possible•
C.Recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.
D.Recalling information from their brain's files.
73.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Men are good at typing words in a particular category in the given time.
B.Women are good at dealing with mathematic problems.
C.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
D.Women stand out at remembering people's names.
74.What important factor affects the correctness of the research results?C
A.People tested come from all over the world.B.Men live longer than women.
C.the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive (认知的) decline.
D.The researchers got their results mixed.
75.The author aims to tell us thatB.
A.the survey on human's mind decline was done recently   
B.men's minds decline more with age
C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D.women's minds perform better than men's.
