This year, however, her parents announced a new_: no phones allowed for the entire week. “No distractions,” they said. “But my friends will be_updates,” Madeline protested (抗议). ”“Theyll have to_,” her mom said. “What if something bad happens?” Madeline changed her strategy (策略). Her mom shook her head as she opened a drawer. Madeline saw that her parents phones were already in it. Madeline had to drop her_in, too. The drive to the beach house took most of the day. That night after dinner, Madeline wandered into the kitchen, where her father was_dishes. “Still hungry?” he asked. “No,” she answered. Then she gave him a loving look and said in her sweetest voice, “Couldnt I have my phone back? Just so I can tell everyone what a(n)_time Im having?”“Cant,” he said. “Its not here. Remember? Check out the bookcase in the living room,” he suggested. “Might find something you like.”She walked into the living room and spotted a jigsaw puzzle (拼图玩具) on the bookcase. She took it, put the pieces on the table, and began to work on them. After what seemed like minutes, she looked up. It was past ten oclock. She had been working for almost two hours! The puzzle was less than half done. It would have been nice to_a picture of the puzzle with her friends, she thought. The next morning, a golden sun was rising over the blue ocean. The sky was cloudless. The scene reminded Madeline of a photo that Brandi had shared. Her friends had oohed and ahhed (对大加赞赏) over it. This view was even better. It would leave everyone_. Madelines hand reached for the bedside table, but there was nothing there. That evening, Madeline lost herself in the jigsaw puzzle again. She felt a little excited every time the shapes met. Soon, all that were left were a few gaps. She quickly put the remaining pieces into place. The puzzle was complete. She stepped back to appreciate the finished puzzle. The picture showed an old painting of several farmhands working in a brown field and there was a giant rainbow arching across the sky. Madeline enjoyed the puzzle for a few minutes, trying to keep the image in her mind. Then, she quietly started taking it apart. That, she thought, was just for me. 11 .

They worry because they cant remember words. In fact, the problem usually isnt with their memory. The problem is with how they study.To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, its organized（有条理的）.When you put away a book-or memory-you cant just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.22 . the writers opinion, students cant remember words because _.Athey have memory problemsBtheyre too worriedCthey dont use a proper wayDthey dont like to study23 .

Im too busy!”The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: “You can finish later.The boy said nothing but quietly walked away.” That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew! But the boy didnt.”Unfortunately, a few days later after the fathers birthday, the boy had an accident and died.His sad father wrote, “If only(要是.,该多好) I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.”Love is a two-way street.We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “NO” and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we dont receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us .27 .

For years, scientists said “no.” or “we dont know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we sill soon contact these beings(人；生物).Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is sizethe universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planetsthe size of Mars or Earthin other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we dont have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other_in our universe and we might help each other.”31 .
