Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can  1    swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still   2    away. A mother who has not   3   the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

　　One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:   4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the   5    of time we will remember it.

　　In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and   6    ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but __7   .

　　The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,   8    it may result in a passing grade, is not a   9    way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,   10   , is usually a good investment toward the future.

The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
　　Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
　　The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
　　In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”
　　Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
　　The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.
【小题1】What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?

Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the  36_ in her eyes. One last hug and a final good-bye, and I would be on my way to a new life  37 .“ You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.

“I’ll  38  you,” I replied, and with those words I  39 . By the time I reached the customs, I was  40 . While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the  41  to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the  42  seat next to mine.

Born just fifteen months apart, we not only looked alike, we were alike. We both had that same mix of  43  and fear of all things unknown to us. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came  44  to me and said, “ Want to come to the attic(阁楼)？” The answer was always “  45 ”. We were frightened of the attic but also  46  by its smells and sounds. Together we would get through masses of dust and look through a lot of boxes _47  we found what we needed.

The plane shook  48  and my bag fell onto the floor. My aspirin, hairbrush and some other things were  49  on the floor. I _50  over to gather them up when I saw a(an) _51  little book in the middle of my belongings. It was a diary.

Immediately I  52   my sister’s handwriting. “Hi, Sis. What a day it has been today. You let me know that you are moving abroad…” Only _53  did I realize that my sister had been  54  a diary for the past month.

I read about my sister’s comings and goings during the flight. Even though a large ocean  55  us, at some point it felt like she was actually there.
