child occupied Yet despite the competition my 8 year old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest a competition she won last year As a writer I know about winning contests and about losing them I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories What if she doesn t win the contest again That s the strange thing about being a parent So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface A revelation 启示 came last week when I asked her Don t you want to win again No she replied I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously 自发地 told them Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall I offered suggestions for characters conflicts and endings for her tales The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly guided by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade I had to accept the fact that I was co opting 借用 my daughter s experience While stepping back was difficult for me it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment grow and find their own voices 68 What do we learn from the first paragraph A A lot of entertainments compete for children s time nowadays B Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time C

Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions B Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in C Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience D A writing career though attractive is not for every child to pursue E We may all have had the embarrassing moment Getting half way through a story only to realize that we ve told this exact tale before to the same person Why do we make such memory mistakes According to research published in Psychological Science it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory Researchers Nigel Gopie of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto and Colin Macleod of the University of Waterloo divided memory into two kinds The first was source memory or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from The second was destination memory or the ability to recall who we have given information to They found that source memory functions better than destination memory in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling To study the differences between source and destination memory the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students according to a New York Times report The students were asked to associate 联想 50 random 随意的 facts with the faces of 50 famous people Half of the students told each fact to one of the faces reading it aloud when the celebrity s 名人的 picture appeared on a computer screen The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces the students who were giving information out destination memory scored about 16 percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information source memory The researchers concluded that out going information was less associated with its environmental context 背景 that is the person than was incoming information This makes sense given what is known about attention A person who is giving information even little facts will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said Because our attention is limited we give less attention to the person we are giving information to After a second experiment with another group of 40 students the researchers concluded that self focus is another factor that undermines destination memory They asked half the students to continue giving out random information while the other told things about themselves This time around those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information When you start telling these personal facts compared with non self facts suddenly destination memory goes down more suggesting that it is the self focus component 成 分 that s reducing the memory Gopie told Live Science 72 The point of this article is to A give advice on how to improve memory B say what causes the memory to worsen C explain why we repeat stories to those we ve already told them to D discuss the differences between source and destination memory 73 What can we learn from the article A Source memory helps us remember who we have told the information to B One s limited attention is one of the reasons why those reading aloud to the celebrity s pictures perform worse on the memory test C Silent reading is a better way to remember information than reading aloud D It tends to be more difficult for people to link incoming information with its environmental context than outgoing information 74 The underlined word undermines probably means A weakens B benefits C explains D supports 75 What did the scientists conclude from the second experiment A Destination memory is weaker than source memory B Focusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance C Associating personal experience with information helps people memorize better D Self focus is responsible for giving information twice or more to the same person 第四部分 写作 共两节 满分 35
