Question

It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened，what did you do? Next time this happens again，what should you do?
You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意识的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim（模糊的）memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.
That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.

解析试题分析: 你有没有遇到这种情况，一个熟悉的名字就在嘴边然而却叫不出来，而且越是使劲想就越想不出呢？在文中作者针对这种情况从科学角度进行了分析，也提出了应对方法，即 ：想不起来时就不要刻意去想，要让大脑有个准备过程，然后你要想的东西自然就出现了。
【小题1】 fail。 信息转换题。根据文章首句Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it?可知人们有时候就在嘴边的名字却叫不上来。所以填fail。
【小题2】 supposed 。信息转换题。根据文章第二段You should not try to recall it.可知当这种情况发生时，不应该努力去想，所以填supposed。Be supposed to do意思是“应该做某事”。
【小题3】 instead。 信息查找题。从文中Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head可知此处填instead。
【小题4】Reason/Cause 。信息归纳题。从文中Why? It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious activities that go to work to dig up a dimmemory.可以知道此处指出了原因。所以填Reason/Cause.
【小题5】 tight 。。从第二段Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it. 可知强迫自己去想会让大脑紧张。所以填tight。
【小题6】 help 。信息转换题。从文章第三段That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations.可知help为正确答案。
【小题7】 Meanwhile 。信息转换题。根据文章第三段At the same time,可知此处是指“同时”所以填Meanwhile。
【小题8】happening。 信息转换题。从文章中deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place可以知道潜意识在进行着，所以填happening。
【小题9】 Conclusion /Summary。 信息归纳题。根据以上对这种情况的分析，此处作者做出总结，所以填conclusion /Summary。
【小题10】 dug 。信息查找题。根据文中第二段It, waiting there, only has to be dug out.可知填dug。
