6．Several months ago，I attended the opening event for a new children's literacy（读写能力） campaign at the Burbank Library in California．The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close-Up，aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read．Disney and Marvel donated 210，000books to libraries and schools across the country．
Stars from Disney XD participated．They read Spider-Man comic books to 70kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California．The stars included Drake Bell （Ultimate Spider-Man），Dylan Riley Snyder （Kickin'It），Olivia Holt （Kickin'It） and Cole Jenson （Crash & Bernstein）．
Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books，believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games．"Comic books really get you into the story，"he told TFK（Time For Kids）．"They are not just words or pictures on a page．"
Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids'imagination．His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading．Dylan attended these classes．He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students．"It was a great way for these kids to start to enjoy reading，"Dylan said．"That's how I got interested in reading too．Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close-Up program．"
David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide．He said great stories and great characters，like Spider-Man and The Avengers，were key to making reading fun．"Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places，"he told TFK．

3．There are two kinds of memory：short-term and long-term．Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed．The information may be kept for days or weeks．However，information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds，usually by repeating the information over and over．The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied．
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary．The subjects in his experiment were 75college students．They represented all levels of ability in English：beginning，intermediate （中等），and native speaking students．
To begin，the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English．Following the recording，the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered．Each question had four choices．The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording，Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike．For example，weather，whether，wither，and wetter are four words that sound alike．Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning．Method，way，manner，and system would be four words with the same meaning．Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test．
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike； students with a higher proficiency（精通，熟练） made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning．Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory，and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory．
28．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory．
B．Long-term memory can be achieved only by training．
C．It is easier to test short-term memory than long，term memory．

2．Traveling to Europe to see its famous monuments，like the Eiffel Tower in the Paris and the Colosseum （古罗马竞技场） in Rome，is not exactly the ideal vacation for kids．Fortunately，Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history．You can enjoy some fun in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent．
Mykonos  Greece
The closer you get to the equator，the longer the beach season，and Greece is wonderful for that，You can enjoy beautiful green water，public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos
Dubrovnik，Croatia
There's nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik，Croatia's most beautiful city．It's surrounded by stone walls，like a castle．It almost makes you feel like you're suntanning （晒黑皮肤） at Hogwarts，where the hero Harry Porter of the story is trained!
Sicily  Italy
Rabbit beach on the island of Sicily offers shallow，crystal clear waters making it the perfect beach for families with young children．And if you want to add interest to your experience，try snorkeling．
Nice，France
Lined with palm trees and first-class hotels，the city of Nice，located on the French Riviera，offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches，Because they're in the heart of the city．These beaches attract a large crowed．So if you're looking for something more private，you'll have to travel a few miles outside of the city centre．

1．It is 7o'clock in the morning．You check yourself in the mirror，adjust your collar，and consider the busy day ahead．But at least you know that the stress won't damage your health，for this is no ordinary set of clothes you are wearing．Set within the fabric are numerous sensors，constantly monitoring your vital signs．If danger signs are detected，the garment is programmed to contact your doctor and send a text message telling you to take it easy．
Garments that can measure a wearer's body temperature or trace their heart activity are just entering the market，but the European project BIOTEX weaves new functions into smart textiles．Miniaturised biosensors in a textile patch can now analyse body fluids，even a tiny drop of sweat，and provide a much better assessment of someone's health．
Jean Luprano，a researcher at the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology （CSEM），coordinates the BIOTEX project．"One of the most obvious applications for smart fabrics is in the medical field，"he says．"There has been a good deal of progress with physiological measurements，body temperature or electrocardiograms（心电图）．But no one has yet developed biochemical sensing techniques that can take measurements from fluids like sweat and blood．We are developing a suite of sensors that can be integrated into a textile patch．The patch is a sensing and processing unit，adaptable to target different body fluids and biochemical species．At the very least，some basic biochemical  analyses could complement the physiological measurements that can already be monitored．In some circumstances，fluidic analysis may be the only way to get information on a patient's health status．"
32．What is the text mainly about？A
A．Smart clothes that track your health．

20．Anyone can start an argument，but it takes a strong person to stop the argument．Many people want to be the stronger person，but they often lack the know-how．If for you，the question of how to stop an argument is cooling yourself off and showing your ability to resolve conflict，follow these steps and begin the process of renewing your relationship．
Step One  Take a time-out from the person and the argument．Go and get a cup of coffee，go to the bathroom or take a drive．Do whatever you can to get yourself out of the place where the argument is taking place．Remember not to leave the argument unresolved and walk away； just leave for long enough to cool off and get back together later．
Step Two  Plan to finish the argument at a time when you can both be uninterrupted for 30minutes．An uninterrupted 30minutes is long enough for you both to share your feelings and discuss why you feel that way．
Step Three  Think and plan during your time-out so that you're prepared for your meeting when it does take place．Keep yourself from remembering the other person's past mistakes or from making personally pointed attacks．Do this by keeping your focus on the issue at hand and always coming back to that issue．
Step Four  Keep the problem between the two of you．Regardless of how badly your feelings are hurt or how much you want to discuss this problem with your other friends，refrain （克制） for the sake of your friendship．Stopping an argument is hard enough with other people getting involved．
Step Five  Be open and honest with one anothr，be willing to show your vulnerability （脆弱性） and be open to the fact that you may be wrong．No one is right all the time，and your argument is more resolvable if you keep from feeling like you have to defend your every move．
Step Six  Say"I'm sorry"even if you think you're justified in what you said or did．Just hearing those words has a healing effect on every relationship，and most of the time we wound each other without being aware of it．

19．Jules Verne lived in a small French town named Nantes in his childhood．Verne ran away once as a child and came upon a small boy who was crying．The boy said he had to leave his family to go on a ship，but he didn't want to．So Verne took his place on the ship．He thought he was going to explore the world，but his father caught up with the ship before it got very far and took Jules home and punished him．Verne said that after that he would only travel in his imagination，and he did．
Verne wanted to write plays．So as a young man he went to Paris and hung out at local theaters and became friends with all the play-writers there．That's how he met Alexander Dumas．Dumas wrote adventure stories that interested Verne very much．Verne decided to write one of his own，an adventure about the ever so popular hot air balloon trips of that time．
