But trying to remember all those important facts can be difficult and boring. Reading and memorizing facts might not be much fun. But if you knew that it could help you get a job as a tourist guide，you might think differently. Now students at a high school in Sidon，an ancient city in Lebanon(黎巴嫩) in the Middle East，are doing just that. The Sidonbased，AlIman high school has begun training students as tourist guides at the citys historical and religious sites. As a part of the training，on December 26，a group of students were taken for a visit to the citys Sea Castle. They listened to explanations about the fortress(堡垒) history，including its origin，the way it was built and the wars it has seen. “It is good for me to learn about history on the spot. We have learnt much more than we could by just reading the history textbooks，” said one of the students，Hussam Rawas. “I am really proud of being able to explain things to foreign tourists. ”Up to 250 students have been selected to take a years special training course by a professional teacher. After that，some of the students may have the chance to become professional tourist guides. The principal of the school，Kamel Kazbar，said he came up with the idea after he was surprised by the poor quality of the guides in the city. “Most Lebanese，” he said，“ignore the history of the city of Sidon. ”Kazbar described the plan as an extracurricular activity that aimed at highlighting the importance of Sidons legacy of historical sites. “This is a pioneering project，which will be good for the students，the city and tourists. ”The city government and its religious authorities also welcomed the idea. 1Whats the main subject of the passage？AA project for training students.

Asome students wanted to do this job Bmany students found their history lessons boringChe thought the citys tourist guides were no goodDthe students should know more about the importance of local history4Which of the following is TRUE？AThe students learnt everything they need to know from their books. BIt would take the students over a year to finish training. CThe training was carried out when other students had classes. DThe local government thought highly of the plan. BRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a persons name，repeat it. 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 and pronounce 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 if you say，“Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”Use associations. Link each person you 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. 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 othersan automatic review for you. 5How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names？AThey will be moved. BThe
