according to some consumers, yes. new jersey teenager charlie wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function”. many young adults agree and use their cell phones to tell time. it is said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. as a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads. however, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. by then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesnt just keep good time. fifty years ago, watchmakers boasted about their products accuracy. but in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory（饰品）business. and for many today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells. “complications” - features that go beyond simple timekeeping- are an important part of a watchs image. todays watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. these features include compasses, lunar calendars, usb drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings（挥棒方式）! creativity is also a key element in todays watches. for example, japanese watchmaker tokyoflash makes watches that dont even look like watches. the companys popular shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time. it looks more like a fashionable bracelet (手镯) than a watch. whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative gift or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(小玩意儿) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with whats on their wrists. will this interest in wrist fashion last? only time will tell! 56.the underlined word “redeem” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “_”. a. enlarge b. regain c. prove d. lose57. according to the passage, a multi-function watch can _. a. store the list of phone numbers b. remind you of your daily affairs c. be used as a calculator d. show the direction58. in paragraph 4, japanese watchmaker tokyoflash is mentioned to _. a. prove todays watches are fashionable b. compare a watch with a cool bracelet c. show how popular shinshoku watches are. d. stress its tokyoflash that makes shinshoku watches59. what might be the most suitable title for the passage? a. japanese watches stand out b. watch industry is in a bad situation c. watches tell more than time d. watches are becoming less popular bi am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.several weeks ago, i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. i kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. he sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. i was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. could he be more intent (专心的) while standing up?this made me start questioning myself and what i had been raised to believe. i was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. this child would have the discipline (纪律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of dna and personality features and all you can do is loving and accepting them. as parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best supporters, guiding them and helping them find their way.i have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. we need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. there is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique . it makes us free and happy and thats just the way i want my kids to live their own life.60. at the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _. a. keep silent in the room b. get right answers c. finish his homework on time d. pay more attention to his study61. inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt _. a. the importance of parents b. the old form of education c. the relationship between kids and their parentsd. the good grades of some kids62. according to the passage, which of the following statements is right?a. we should help kids correct their wrong ways. b. parents should study their kids dna. c. kids should be taught to behave themselves. d. parents should love and accept their kids.63. which of the following would be the best title of the passage?a. study hard and youll be successful b. be friendly to your childrenc. childrens success in their own style d. parents help with their childrens studycthe human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. however, there is another difference between humans and computers. computers dont forget information they are given, but humans often do. no one remembers everything, and luckily we dont usually have to. but everyone can improve their memory if they want to. here are some suggestions. try to use new information immediately. for example, if you meet someone who says hi! im carlos, dont just say hello. repeat the persons name. say_ break a big number into smaller parts. for example, its hard to memorize 109244153. but if you break it into three parts-109/244/153it becomes easier.write out what you need to remember over and over again. this will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas or facts.always review information. if you bring what youve learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. for example, before you go to sleep, its a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay. discuss with a friend. it is always easier to remember things through discussions. you can have a discussion about whats right and whats wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. you can always do something to help improve your memory. and everyones memory gets better if they use it often enough.all of the suggestions are helpful. if you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.64. which should be put in the blank in paragraph 2？ a. hello, carlos. b. how do you do?
