matter of practice and exercise. if you have the wish and really make a conscious（有意识的）effort，then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. but even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you. sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. one morning last week，for example，i got up and found that i had left the front door unlocked all night，yet i clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before. memory “tricks” work the other way as well. once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. one day last month，for example，i was sitting in a barbershop（理发店）waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly i realized that i had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office. we always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents（事件）caused by peoples forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years. unfortunately，however，absent-mindedness is not always funny. there are times when “tricks”of our memory can cause us great trouble.56.if you want to have a good memory， _. a. you should ask someone else to help you to remember things b. you should make a conscious effort to practice and exercise c. you should never stop learning d. you should try hard to remember things57.in the passage，the writer seems to tell us _. a. forgetting things is serious and dangerous b. always forgetting things is understandable c. forgetting things at times is natural d. the ways to protect yourself from memory “tricks”58.the best title for this passage is“_”. a. how to get a good memory b. tricks of memory c. the danger of forgetfulness and absent-mindedness d. get rid of absent-mindedness bsecrets of happy peopleeveryone wants to achieve true happiness in life.but the biggest factor holding most of us back is actually our ownselves.the huffington post released a list of seven mistakes we need to let go of in order to become happier people.lets take a look.1.placing too much emphasis on fulfillment (成就感)those who put a lot of pressure on themselves to be happy feel more lonely on a daily basis than those who do not,according to research conducted at the university of denver,us.2.keeping it all inkeeping it all together during tough times can hurt you.crying is the bodys emotional response to outside triggers (诱因).by suppressing it,you may be damaging your mental and physical health.3.looking at your smartphone all the timeconnecting with others may be the key to happiness,but a recent university of michigan study found that the more time participants spent on social networking sites,the less happy they felt.4.not movingits no secret that a healthy lifestyle is a big part of happiness.something as simple as a walk can help you increase your creativity and expose you to essential vitamins.5.not reflecting on the pastin a 2013 study on nostalgia (怀旧) and emotion,participants reported a higher sense of physiological comfort when they looked back on the past.affection for heartwarming memories helps people relate their past experiences to the present in order to create a greater sense of meaning.6.resisting changea study on the psychology of choices shows that the human brain naturally tries to avoid lossbut that resistance can cause stress.whether its fear of the unknown or fear of losing what you currently have,the pressure to hold on to the present can harm your future life satisfaction.7.not being mindfulsetting aside time for meditation (沉思) allows your body to relax,cultivates an attitude of gratitude and lowers your stress level,according to researchers at university of california,los angeles,us.59.what is the main purpose of the article?a.to inform readers of the benefits of being happy.b.to explain why our happiness depends on our own actions.c.to point out the things we do that prevent us from being happy.d.to discuss some typical characteristics of happy people.60.the underlined word “suppressing” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .a.speaking of b.holding backc.thinking

relax and thus reduce our stressd.it allows us to relate our past experiences to the presentcapple a day may poison childrenchildren who eat an apple or pear a day may be exceeding(超过) the pesticide(杀虫剂) safety limit because of remains on the fruit，according to research.using data of the british department of environment on pesticides on fruit collected from supermarkets，scientists thought that each day some children would get a poisonous level of pesticides. the research，published on sunday，says the government repeatedly claims that the levels of pesticide are safe because，instead of measuring individual apples， researchers buy 10，crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe. this is the internationally agreed method of checking remains. but government figures show that the pesticide is not averagely spread across the batch(一批)，and one or two apples could contain 90% or more of the pesticide in the batch. it used mathematical modeling to measure exposure(暴露) to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old. the pesticides involved can destroy childrens hormones and some are suspected(怀疑) of causing cancer. the good news for british fruit growers is that samples grown in this country had lower residue level than imported fruit，so buying home-produced fruit will reduce the danger，said emily diamand，one of the earths senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report. 63. the reason why “apple a day may poison children” is that _.a. there are some pests in the apple b. children would get a poisonous level of pesticides because of the remainson the applec. there are always more pesticides on the applesproduced in britain d.the apple is too hard for children to eat64. the internationally

medicine 66. which of the following is not true？a. the remains of the pesticides can do harm to the childrens health.b. the remains of the pesticides can do harm to the childrens hormones.c. some remains of the pesticides are suspected of causing cancer.d. for safety，we had better not import apples from britain.dwe often think of future. we often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred yearstime.think of space，perhaps a permanent(永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed，permitting long journeys throughout the solar system(太阳系). when that time comes，people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. great progress will have been made in medicine，too. perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible of all diseasescancer. pollution is a problem we must solve. in a hundred yearstime it will have been controlled.all the world will have been developed even antarctica. there will be large cities in antarctica. we already have supersonic(超音速的) flight，but in a hundred yearstime we will have supersonic land travel as

reduce traffic problems in the city of london. the poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. the city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of london and travel easily to work each day. if people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work， they would relocate their homes outside of the city. this would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of london. fro
