a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill When she was only fourteen Michel was already so interested in the differences in her school friends handwriting that she would spend hours studying them After finishing college she went to France for a special two year class to learn how to analyze handwriting at the School of Police Science On her return she began her work for the Quebec police Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise 伪装 their handwriting She can discover most of what she needs to know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes but she also has machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink This knowledge is often of help to the police Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is I wouldn t go out with a fellow if I didn t like his handwriting she says But she adds that she fell in love with her future husband William Smith before she studied his handwriting ItIt later proved to be all right however 56 Where did Michele learn to analyze people s handwriting A At a police station B In France 用心 爱心 专心6 C In a middle school D In Canada 57 Besides helping the police Michele uses her skill to A teach her friends B look for a husband C decide if a person will do something wrong D tell what kind of person the writer is 58 The underlined word itit in the last sentence refers to A Michele s job B Michele s analyzing skill C William s handwriting D William s love for Michele B B Grown 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 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 one s future development 用心 爱心 专心7 59 What s the main idea of Paragraph 1 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 are easy to remember 60 The author explains the law of overlearning by A presenting research findings B setting down general rules C using examples D making a comparison 61 According to the author being able to use multiplication tables is A a special case of cramming B a result of overlearning C a skill to deal with math problems D a basic step towards advanced studies 62 What is the author s opinion on cramming A It leads to failure in college exams B It increases students learning interest C It s possible to result in poor memory D It s helpful only in a limited way C C Many young anglers 垂钓者 like to go for a swim during a fishing trip just for fun or to cool off If you fish you should know how to swim for your own safety Never dive into the water of an unknown area and don t swim in cold water or after a heavy meal Finally swim only when an experienced swimmer is with you Besides you should learn how to help those who fall overboard or a fisherman or a swimmer in trouble Reach throw row go is a common method of offering rescue The first safety step is to REACH out with an oar tree branch or other long objects if the person is close to you Otherwise THROW them a life saving device 装置 This can be a boat cushion or ring Tie it to the end of a line so that it helps you pull the person to safety If a cushion or ring isn t available throw in anything that floats plastic coolers or ski belts can be used in an emergency 用心 爱心 专心8 If there s nothing to throw ROW a boat to the person in trouble If the boat has a motor shut it off before you attempt any water rescue Pull the victim over the back of the boat instead of over its side thus the boat will not tip over If the boat is small you can also have the victim hang onto the gunwales 船舷 and drag him to shore Swim out to save the person in trouble only if you are an experienced swimmer or have had life saving training Going into the water after someone in trouble is dangerous People who are drowning often panic and injure or even drown someone trying to rescue them Going quickly to adults for help is often the best choice 63 What
