immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. you could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. ask the other person to recite and repeat. you can let other people help you remember their names. after youve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce（发音） it correctly for you. most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. admit you dont know. admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. most of them will feel sympathy（同情） if you say, “im working to remember names better. yours is right on the tip of my tongue（一时想不起来）. what is it again?” use associations（联想）. link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. for example, you could make a mental note: vicki chengtall, black hair.” to reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. limit the number of new names you learn at one time. when meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. free yourself from remembering every one. few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. last names can come later. ks*5u.c#o go early. consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. sometimes just a few people show up on time. thats fewer names for you to remember. and as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others - an automatic(自动的) review for you.63. how will most people feel

true winners of a game.many people like the action of cheating. it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. but it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test - unless the person cheats again. some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. the cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. and, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.if you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. and if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. a kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.67the author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.ait is

call the summer learning gap. some call it the summer learning setback. simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. the only thing they might gain is weight. most american schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. some schools follow a year-round calendar. they hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. the national association for year-round education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. they were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.but many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. lead researcher paul von hippel said, “year-round schools dont really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. they simply spread it out across the year.”across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. experts say this can be prevented. they note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.but calling them “summer school” could be a problem. the director of the summer learning center at johns hopkins, ron fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in chicago and baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. in american culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. the parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.31. according to the first paragraph the summer learning gap .a. helps children to gain weightb. leads children to work harderc. improves childrens memoriesd. affects childrens regular studies【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget.暑假影响了学生的正常的学习，故选d。32. compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones .a. perform better and have more learning gainsb. have much less time for relaxation every yearc. have generally the same number of class daysd. hold more classes with more free weeks off【答案】c【解析】细节理解题。根据but many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school.全年的学校与一般的学校都有相同的天数的授课时间，故选c。33. w
