a. colors and human beingsb. the cultural meaning of colorc. colors and personal experiencesd. the meaning and function of color bhow to study smarter, not harderhere are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder: recite as you study recitingsaying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. test yourself. this will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. it will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding. take fuller notes notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. they should be tidy and easy to read. writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words. study the middle the best time to review is soon after youve learned something. you are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review. sleep on it study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. its easier to remember material youve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after youve fallen asleep. combine memory and understanding there are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. ideas are best learned by understanding. the more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. if you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.55. you can notice your mistakes by _.a. saying things out aloud b. taking notesc. studying the middle d. sleeping on it56. when taking notes, you should _ to better help you with reading.a. underline important notes b. write notes in your own wordsc. take down every detaild. write as quickly as possible57. the writer advises you to _ as it is easier for you to remember material.a. study after a period of activityb. do some exercise after studyingc. study as soon as you get upd. study before going to sleep58. which of the following is not helpful for your understanding?a. thinking about an idea in different ways.b. relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.c. reading from the beginning to the end without stop.d. going back to what first made you confused and start again. care you having too much salt? you might not think so, but people in china eat on average (平均) about 12 grams of salt each day, that is much higher than the 6 grams suggested by the world health organization. you could be eating too much without realizing it, because about 75% of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as bread, sauces, soups and sausages. what problems can eating too much salt cause? to answer that question, first lets take a look at what salt is. salt is a chemical compound. it is made of sodium (钠) and chloride (氯化物). salt is used to keep and flavor foods. a small amount of salt is important for good health because our bodies need sodium and chloride to work. but past studies have found that people who eat more salt than they need tend to have high blood pressure. eating too much salt has also been connected with other conditions, such as heart and kidney (肾) problems. if you want to cut down on salt, the good news is, there are plenty of simple things to do. here are some tips:*cut back on high salt foods. most foods contain some salt. but some foods such as cheese, bacon, pickles (泡菜), smoked fish and chips are almost always high in salt because of the way they are made. you can still enjoy them, but try to have these in smaller amounts, or eat them less often.*choose reduced salt bread and breakfast cereals.bread and breakfast cereals (谷物) are major source of salt in the diet, not that theyre necessarily high in salt but because we eat a lot of them. for these foods, there can be a really big difference between different types and brands. so next time youre shopping, take the time to compare the salt levels on a few similar products. and always try to choose the ones lower in salt.*avoid adding salt to cooking and at the table. instead, you could use herbs and spices (香料) such as garlic (大蒜) and lemon juice to add flavor to meals.59. many people in china dont realize they are eating too much salt because _.a. salty food tasted better than reduced salt foodb. they do not calculate the amount of salt they eatc. about 3/4 of the salt we eat is already in the food we buyd. few people experience problems from eating too much salt60. which of the following statements about salt is false?a. a small amount of salt is good for the health.b. salt is used to keep or flavor food only in china.c. too much salt may cause high blood pressure.d. salt is a compound of sodium and chloride.61. for a healthier life, the authors suggestion is to _.a. cut back on food with limited (有限的) saltb. eat less heavily salted foodc. eat as much reduced salt bread as is wantedd. stop eating bread and breakfast cereals62. what is the purpose of the article?a. to warn people of food containing too much salt.b. to inform people of the right amount of salt taken each day.c. to advise people to be careful about the amount of salt they eat.d. to promote (促进) the right way to make reduced salt food. dwhen i was in seventh grade, i was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. i volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer. most of the time i spent there was with mr. gillespie. he never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. i spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. he became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. mr. gillespie was in a coma (昏迷). i left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when i came back, mr. gillespie was gone. i didnt have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. so with many questions unanswered, i continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year. several years later, when i was a junior in high school, i was at the gas station when i noticed a familiar face. when i realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. he was alive! i got up the nerve to ask him if he was mr. gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. with an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. i explained how i knew him, and that i had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. his eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug i had ever received. he be
