a. looking attractive to others. b. following the fashion. c. appearing successful to others. d. keeping warm and covering bodies.57. we can learn from the passage that _. a. expensive clothes are not any warmer than cheap ones b. fashion is not always changing c. expensive clothes are warmer d. fashion designers like expensive clothes58. what does the underlined word “wardrobes” in paragraph 4 mean? a. fashionable clothes shops. b. the clothes that some people have. c. cupboards for storing clothes. d. shelves used for keeping books.59. what is the passage mainly about? a. suits and ties. b. clothes and fashion. c. beauty and success. d. cost and pastime.bgrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears. one explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks. we not only learn but overlearn.the multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.the law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. by cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. a little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.60. what is the main idea of paragraph i?a. people remember well what they learned in childhood.b. children have a better memory than grown-ups.c. poem reading is a good way to learn words.d. stories for children arc easy to remember.61. the author explains the law of overlearning by_.a. presenting research findingsb. selling down general rulesc. making a comparisond. using examples62. according to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.a. a result of overlearningb. a special case of crammingc. a skill to deal with math problemsd. a basic step towards advanced studies63. what is the authors opinion on cramming?a. it leads to failure in college exams.b. its helpful only in a limited way.c. its possible to result in poor memory.d. it increases students learning interest.cwelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy（嫉妒）. here at the footwear museum you can see exhibits（展品）from all over the world. you can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the ancient egyptians to pop stars.room 1the celebrity（名人）footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! most visitors find the celebrities choice offootwear extremely interesting.room 2most of our visitors are amazed and shocked by the collection of “special purpose” shoes on exhibition here at the museum of footwear. for example, there are chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!room 3as well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe shaped objects. the variety is unbelievable. for example , there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and greek wine bottles that are like legs!the footwear librarypeople come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.64. where would you find a famous singers shoes?a. room 1. b. room 2. c. room 3. d. the footwear library65. all exhibits in each room .a. share the same theme b. have the same shapec. are made of the same material d. belong to the same social class66. which of the following is true according to the text?
