The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 4 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “5 ” had used.

Youre supposed to remember something, but you havent encoded （译成密码）it deeply. Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact（影响）on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）. Your memory itself isnt failing you,says Schacter.Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed. Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, says Zelinski,may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox. Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that. Visual cues can help prevent absent -mindedness, says Schacter. But be sure the cue is clear and available, he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication（药物）with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-dont leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why youre there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. Everyone does this from time to time, says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember. 1. We can learn from the passage that encoding _. A. slows down the process of losing our memories B. helps us understand our memory system better C. gets us to recall something from our memories D. helps us to find out the mobile phone in the pocket 2. Why do women have better memories than men? A. They seldom use their mobile phones. B. They are more nervous about the environment. C. They are more interested in whats happening around them. D. They usually take some special medicine to improve memories. 3. The sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 means that _. A. a note in the pocket will easily get lost B. putting something in sight can be a good reminder C. taking medicine can get rid of absent-mindedness D. people of absent-mindedness must take medicine with them 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. The causes of absent-mindedness. B. The environment and memory. C. A way of encoding and recalling. D. The process of gradual memory loss.BMummy, I don t know what to play with. Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time. Youve got a room full of toys! his mother says, impatiently. In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steves lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed (packed) animals. Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mothers desk or following her into the kitchen saying: Mummy, I am bored. A family therapist (心理医生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole toy shop at home: According to their brain development, little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest is left lying about. What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys? Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the childs knowledge. If he/she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away. Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then! A talk with relatives and friends may also help. Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie, and we like her way. A small set of shelves in her childs room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites. When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of old toys goes into the cupboard. When her child says she is bored, they also get something from her cupboard - it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasnt seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy. Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something fresh to play with. 5. Steve interrupted his mother several times because _. A. he felt uninterested in his toys B. he disliked his mothers guest C. he didnt have enough toys to play with D. he hoped his mother would play with him 6. According to the therapist, children often complain that they have nothing to play with because _. A. they cant play alone for a long time B. they are too young to play with so many toys C. they are too lazy to pick out their favourites D. they lack the ability to value too many things at a time 7. Which of the following can be used in place of jumble? A. Simple choice. B. Mixture in disorder. C. Ordinary appearance. D. Same shape. 8. Which is the advice given to parents in the text? A. Buy fewer toys for their children. B. Form good habits for their children. C. Spare some time to play with their children. D. Put some toys away without telling their children.C I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for timeand I left without getting a cent.9. The authors roommate offered to help him because_. A. he felt sorry for the author B. he thought it was a chance to make some money C. he knew the doctor was a very good one D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer10. The word “charge” in the third paragraph means_ . A. be responsible B. accuse C. ask as a price D. claim11. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very_.

C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides. D. Money is more important than other things in the US.DWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“Thats just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, Ive never had a better piece of advice. 13. What did the father do after he had heard his daughters complaint? A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said. B.

She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer. C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on. D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious. 15. Why did her father listen to her quietly? A. Because he believed that what her daughters “enemy” said was mostly true. B. Because he had been so angry with his daughters shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while. C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment. D. Because he wasnt quite sure which girl was telling the truth. 三、任务型阅读 Things adults should learn from kids Children can teach adults a lot. In other words, there are many things adults can learn from children. For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for parents, friends, pets, and people they like, is filled with love. They dont think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults can learn this: the best way to receive love is to first give it. Unfortunately, most of us have developed the habit of questioning everything. We often try too hard with love, and associate it with weakness. Actually, the only way to experience love is to have minimal expectations, and love your dear ones unconditionally. Kids never hide emotions. They cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things dont go their way. On the contrary, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. We often feel happy for others with negative thoughts in our hearts. Crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. Never hold back tears or happiness. If you want to cry, cry your eyes out, and if you are happy or pleased about something, dont be afraid to show or share it. Kids are curious little beings, who always try to understand their surroundings by completely
