He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. Most people dont seem to mind Tom, says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. Hes my fourth child, she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so arent surprised to find that owning a dogmeans yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog. The money is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment isexpensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.21.

Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace (丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout (辍学者).She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, Im now trying to bring up my three children. Im filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.24.

Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜).” “Your memory itself isnt failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed.”Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment. And memory depends on just that.“Reminders can help prevent absent-mindedness,” says Schacter. “But be sure the reminder is clear and available,” he says. If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch, put it on the kitchen table dont leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why youre there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember.32. Why does the writer think that encoding is important?A. It helps us understand our memory system better.B. It enables us to remember something from our memory.C. It expands our memory ability greatly.D. It slows down the process of losing our memory.33. Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder?A. Because it will easily get lost.B. Because its not clear enough for you to read.C. Because its out of your sight.D. Because it might get mixed up with other things.34. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. If we pay more attention to one thing, we might forget another.B. Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.C. Doing something again helps improve our memory.D. If we keep forgetting things, wed better return to where we were.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. The causes of absent-mindedness.B. The process of gradual memory loss.C. The influence of the environment on memory.D. A way of encoding and remembering.第2节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。What do the worlds most successful people all have in common?By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Stanford Professor Jeffrey Pfeiffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:Busy! Busy!36 In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per weekwhich translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.Just Say No!The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything.
