14、rector, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already had an announcer. His words made me disappointed again.

So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that

19、we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they ans

20、wered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-

21、walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. “This forces the brain to think in a different

22、 waythe brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点),” the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in phys

23、ical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a pe

24、rfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.1Backward walking can_ according to the passage.Aimprove the memory in the long termBimprove the memory in the short termCcause much mor

27、ssage?AYouth VoiceBStar StoriesCOur WorldDScience StudyC15、For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the word “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable

28、 colour.”But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past

29、, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspa

30、pers, radios, telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours.New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.1Most people think that “fashion” means _.AbooksBclothesCholidays2By _ we can see that fashions change as time

It probably wont surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Instead of sleeping, Kenny Alarcon, 16, often

33、texts with his friends through the night. Frances Garcia, a high school senior, sends and receives about 1000 texts each day. Both Frances and Kenny wake up several times during the night to text. Kenny even sleeps with his phone under his pillow. Dr.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova Unive

34、rsity in Pennsylvania, says that its common for teens to be interrupted by texts while sleeping. “If they often lose sleep,” Dr.Dowdell says, “teens may become angry, or depressed. A lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and even obesity because many people turn to junk food for quick energy when th

35、ey are tired.” Some experts are worried about how texting is affecting teenagers lives. One concern is that students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if most of the writing they do is made up of text messages. Some people also worry that teens dont spend enough time talking with others f

36、ace-to-face, which could be hurting their relationships with friends and family. Moreover, all that texting takes away hours that could be spent studying, exercising, taking up a hobby, or just relaxing. According to Dr. Dowdell, teens need to learn that they can and should turn off their phones som

37、etimes. She had Kenny and Frances do an experiment. These were the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. After 48 phone-free hours, Kenny and Frances were interviewed. “Wow, it was pure torture(折磨),” Kenny joked. Kenny missed his friends, and he

38、was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. He spent time reading books and talking with his family, which he really enjoyed. Frances had an even happier result. “I loved it!” she said, “I was going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball. I had a wond

39、erful experience.” Frances decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think Ill be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained, “everybody in the world should try it.”1If teens keep waking up to text while sleeping, they may _.Aget overweightBbecome happierCdisturb their parentsDfeel more

40、relaxed2What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AMistakes in teens text writing.BTime wasted on meaningless texting.CWorries about how texting affects teens.DEncouragement to teens talking face-to-face.3The writer mentions the experiment on Frances and Kenny to _.Aadvise people what to do without phonesBsh

41、ow teens can live well without phonesCexplain phones are important in teens livesDintroduce how they make good use of phonesE17、On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best

42、 photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when t

43、hey left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as ani

44、mals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (荫处) out of the wind and rain.Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.1Why did L

45、eila lie under her car on the stomach?ABecause she wanted to sleep.BBecause she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals.CBecause its easy to see the elephants.DBecause its very comfortable.2How can photographers take good photos?ABy making good preparation.BBy going into the forest at ni

47、take good wildlife photos.F18、Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously

48、 founded (创建) Americas first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegies

49、donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.If you can easily find a public library in yo

50、ur community(社区), youll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fu

51、n of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Todays libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Frankl
