BOn a cold morning, my husband Prem and I drove off Pangong Lake with four other tourists, all much younger than the two of us. The wet road slowed us down. Halfway through our journey, we had to stop behind a long line of cars.The road ahead is blocked with snow, said Norbu, our driver. Even if we get to the lake, we cant driveback in the dark-it gets too misty（模糊的）. We may have to spend the night there. We were unprepared for this-no extra warm clothes, and the risk of altitude（高地）sickness made me worry. I suggested we turn back, but the others didnt agree. So Prem stepped out hoping to get a free ride in one of the cars turning back. They were all full, but while he was out, Prem stepped deep into fresh snow, which filled his sports shoes and made his socks all wet. Back in our tourist car, his feet hurt and we were afraid of frostbite （ 冻 疮 ） setting in. Determined to get a ride, I stepped out this time. One car with enough room passed by, but didnt stop. Then a car with just the driver and a passenger took us in after I told them that my husband needed help.As we drove along, the man named Ali in the passenger seat ordered Prem to remove his shoes and socks. Covering his cold, wet feet with a spare jacket, he bent down and started moving his hands over the surface of my husbands feet. Please, Ill do it, I insisted, but he continued and kept on doing that for about 20 minutes until he was sure Prems feet were warm again.As we neared his home, Ali invited us to whatever simple lunch was cooked. When we refused, he asked the driver to drop us wherever we needed to go.

Once you have learned the skills, they return fairly easily, even if they are not used for long periods of time. Most experts put this down to muscle（肌肉）memory, which means the brain remembers the action and can remember it when needed. There is another thing that may be as important in recalling formerly learned sport skills-the mistakes made while learning the task.The study led by Reza Shadmehr included asking volunteers to play a simple video game: hitting a red target dot （ 目 标 点 ） with a slightly smaller blue dot, similar to playing virtual darts （ 虚 拟 飞 镖 ） . What the gamers did not know was that as soon as they mastered the game, the researchers moved the blue dot slightlyoff-course, so forcing them to restart the learning process. Though the volunteers did make mistakes every timethe game was changed, they got faster at mastering it.Reza believes that this has to do with the fact that in addition to performing the task to muscle memory, the brain is also correcting each wrong move and learning how to correct it. He compares it to having a coach that points out the mistakes and makes suggestions on how to improve.What surprised the scientists is that making mistakes not only trains the brain to do better at a certain task, but also helps it learn faster from mistakes, even when the mistakes are made while learning an entirely different task. The brain keeps a general record of mistakes and draws on them whenever a new sport skill is being learned, to make sure that mistakes are not made again. This helps make leaning much faster and probably explains why people, who master one sport or musical instrument, are able to pick up others more easily.Making mistakes is a good thing. So the next time you are practicing playing the piano, working on yourtennis skill, or learning any other sport skill, dont get discouraged by the mistakes!（1） What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The brain. B. The action. C. A new sport. D. An instrument.（2） The second paragraph is mainly about A. how Reza carried out the experimentB. when the gamers learned a game wellC. what games the volunteers were interested inD. why the researchers liked to play virtual games（3） What surprised Reza most about the results?A. Mistakes make people learn faster B. Mistakes add difficulty to learningC. Mistakes will be repeated in learning D. Mistakes speed up the actions in brain（4） From the research, we know A. learning is a course of practice B. the brain can point out most mistakesC. mistakes train the brain to do tasks better D. mistakes will make people discouraged（5） What is the main idea of the passage?A. Mistakes help achieve success B. Mistakes should be corrected in timeC. Muscle memory makes you succeed D. Muscle memory shows past experience阅读与表达20. It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you suddenly feel that your throat（喉咙）hurts. Youbegin to sneeze （ 喷 嚏 ） and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a second. Could it just be a common cold or the flu thats been going around?A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But its usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine such as aspirin while others try home treatments like herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.The flu on the other hand can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can bedeadly. The worst flu, the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 to 1919, killed about 50 million people, according to TheAtlantic.Dont worry.
