Lets just say that cooking has not 36 been my thing. Many of my friends know that I 37 a lot of meals.

I began visiting cooking websites but was discouraged by their lack of pictures and felt 40 . I borrowed a cook book from the library but didnt have any of the food 41 to make what they were suggesting. 42 , I did something that most would think is common sense. I started to read and follow the 43 that most foods provide on the package. Who knew that they would be so 44 ? I never would have improved my cooking skills without trying to get better. Now as much as I would like to say from that point on everything went 45 . Just like learning anything it took a lot of 46 .At first I undercooked the baked chicken. Then I 47 the chicken. Finally, after three attempts, it was edible (可吃的) but I forgot to season (调味) it 48 . Once I made it through those cooking 49 , I can now bake chicken with the best of them. After I 50 chicken I was on to my next dish, spaghetti. I followed the ways to cook the noodles and got them just right. I added the meat and sauce blend to the noodles and was 51 by how watery everything came out. Oops, I forgot to 52 the noodles. Spaghetti only took 53 tries to get it right. My trial and error helped me start building confidence.When it comes to building confidence there is a(n) 54 that one should follow. Building confidence in life is just like cooking. You have to take the time to learn the 55 before you become successful at it.36. A. merelyB. reallyC. yetD. always37. A. boughtB. cookedC. ruinedD. wasted38. A. commentB. complainC. tryD. accept 39.

A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below. Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose. Is Shark Diving Dangerous?Yes. You could get sunburn. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard. As for a shark attack, according to the International Shark Attack File, you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.Pricing & DetailsOne Day Cage Diver Adventure - $875Our expert shark diver team will accompany you to the best viewing areas within the Marine Sanctuary. There, well drop our cage and prepare to provide you with a view youll never forget.No dive experience is necessary. Our cages sit just below the surface. Youll be able to breathe comfortably from your snorkel or air hose while you move about the cage, taking photos and having fun.Top Shark Adventure - $375If you want to see great white sharks but prefer them a little further away, we offer great top-side shark viewing from our observation deck (甲板). Help scan the horizon for fins and watch for sharks attacking their prey (猎物). Important NoteTheres No Shark GuaranteeAlthough we go to the best places at the best time of year, we cannot guarantee youll see sharks. Weve been very successful in past shark seasons and expect another incredible year. However, if we see no sharks, there is no refund (退款). 56. Which of the following is true about the two adventures?A. Top Shark Adventure makes use of hookah systems.B. Top Shark Adventure is suitable for those worried about danger.C. Cage Diver Adventure is less interesting than the other.D. Cage Diver Adventure offers you a view of the bottom of the sea.57. We can learn from the advertisement that there might be a risk that _.A. you are hurt by a shark while diving thereB. you are out of breath deep down in the seaC. you fail to achieve your purpose of the tripD. you suffer from lack of skill in shark diving58. It can be inferred from the advertisement that shark diving is _.A. difficult but excitingB. challengingand tiringC. expensive but popularD. amazing and enjoyableBThe time-honored lamp and lantern business in Pingyao county, Shanxi province was popular back when there were large festivities or celebrations and corporations, institutions and government offices needed lanterns to decorate their halls and streets.Then the central government started calling for budget cuts, and no unnecessary celebrations, so the industry was staring at a depressed market and a number of enterprises just shut down and the Pingyao faced a challenge. But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to success and the market downturn has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed new products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaoqian, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are “making culture” instead of just products. Previously, they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take part in 2015 lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may not bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural exchanges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among museums and tourist spots that valued Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern business with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical materials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition centers.So, it looks as if, in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner. 59. The lamp and lantern industry declined after _.A. the prices went up sharply some years ago B. big festivals were celebrated in more ways C. we started to correct unhealthy social trendD. they lost attraction to their former customers60. What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?A. Improving product quality.B. Adjusting managing strategy.C. Designing beautiful patterns.D. Advertising products widely.61. Which is the main factor in Lis crafts shop winning the competition?A. Their technique.B. Their talent. C. Their creativity.D. Their devotion.62. One of the purposes of the news story is probably _. A. to provide an example for other businesses to followB. to ask more people to take part in 2015 lantern showC. to introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to readersD. to call for a yet more booming market in the businessCIf I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would you go about it? Theres a fair chance that youd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we dont have perfect insight (洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws (缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings mental blind spots.One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning. Were actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we havent yet learnt. Its a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but its a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their successfor example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didnt have much of an effect, the people who dropped items fromtestingperformed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate (巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if youve learnt them, but you should keep testing what youve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: theres more to testing than finding out what students know tests can also help us remember. 63. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because _.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we dont understand well what we are learningC. we dont know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones64. The researchers experiment was intended to _.A. confirm we dont know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC. distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing65. What does the author believe leads to a good memory? A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what youre poor at.D. Strong desire for grasping new knowledge.66. The proper title for the passage is _.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD. A discovery of a mental blind spotDIntheremote corner ofthecountry a meteorological (气象的) station was set up.Next to the station was themanagers house.
