If a Chinese comes to England and wants to drive his car there, he must know the English rules of the road and the English traffic signs．One rule is that he must always drive on the left．Another rule is that he mustn’t drive faster than thirty mph through town and villages．If he does not pay attention to this speed limit, the police will soon be after him．The third rule is that cars on the main road have right of way．It is not easy to drive in London, because the traffic is so busy and buses and trucks sometimes block the roads．It is much less difficult to find your way if you go by one of the red buses or the underground．There are bus stops at every street corner．And if you cannot find one, ask a policeman．He will help you at once．

18．What is the talk mainly about?

C．Collecting information．

C．Remember his or her last name．

20．What does the speaker suggest to us?

A．Having a rest for twenty minutes．

B．Taking some Vitamins B1 and B2．

C．Doing sports during the break．

听力原文：(Text 11)

　　W：There are many ways in which the memory can be improved．In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do．

　　A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful．For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper．

　　Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people．I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name．It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name．

　　Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best．

　　Finally, take care of yourself physically．Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind．And don’t forget your vitamins－B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory．
