Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by resea

24、rchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structures of ordinary people and 23 of the worlds leading memory athletes show no difference.Thats because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron(神经元期刊) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of

25、hard training.Researchers found that technique(技巧) called loci, invented by ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brains memory networks. You can link(关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For

26、example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be handle(把手) on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 words. First the

27、y could only remember 26 of them. But when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.“Not everyone can become a memory champion.

30、er 36 more words.(B)Many people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly, they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn

31、 to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others.Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you

32、 started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading roma

33、ntic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which not only can offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.Satisfy yourself.

(C)China is known as a state of manners and ceremony. Many proverbs have been passed down from generation to generation su

38、ch as “polite behavior costs nothing” or “showing respect each other” and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on the way. - 10 -Though he tried hard, he got hold

39、of nothing but a feather. Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but its the thought that counts.” was spread far and wide.Chinese used to cup one hand in

40、 the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of more than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular. Bowing, as to show respect to the higher level, is often used by the lower like subordinates(下级), student

41、s, and attendants. But at present Chinese youngsters prefer to simply nod as a greeting. When you start a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. For a man, a chat about sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Simil

42、ar to Western customs, you should be careful to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger.

45、e is mainly about _.A. Chinese proverbs B. Chinese humorC. Chinese manners D. Chinese body languages(D)There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, q

46、uite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.If spelling becomes the only point of his

47、teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range(范围). Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a s

48、ensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention
