Think of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories. The first kind of memory is sense memory. Every

25、thing you are sensing right now is stored here. Perhaps you feel the sun on your face or smell the aroma(香味 ) of food. Sense memories last only a few seconds, but they connect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten. You keep a few items(条目 ) in wor

26、king memory. These are memories you need for what you are doing. Suppose you look up a friends telephone number in the phone book. Youll probably remember the number for a little while. But if you get distracted (分神 ), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for ju

27、st a few days at most. Working memory has another limit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given time. Memories you want to keep for a long time go into your long-term memory. They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you

28、re member how to play your favorite game? Do you recall your first birthday party? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory. Sometimes, people have trouble finding a particular long-term memory. Have you ever struggled to remember a familiar name or fact? When thi

29、s happens, people sometimes say the information is “on the tip of the tongue. “ 56 Which of the following best describes the sense memory? （ A） Its your preference for certain food. （ B） Its something you did a while ago. （ C） Its a memory of the distant past. （ D） Its an immediate memory. 57 What d

30、oes the author say about working memory? （ A） The number of stored items is limited. （ B） The information contained is lasting. （ C） It stays only while you work. （ D） It stores numbers quickly. 58 If something is“ on the tip of the tongue“ ( Paragraph 4),_. （ A） you say it in a polite way （ B） you

31、remember it all your life （ C） you dont want to write it down （ D） you know it but cant remember it 59 What can be a suitable title for the text? （ A） Kinds of Memories （ B） The Length of Memories （ C） New Findings on Memories （ D） The Importance of Memories 59 There are many different kinds of peac

32、hes (桃 ). One clear difference is the one between clingstonefruit in which the flesh is stuck to the seed insideand freestone that in which the seed floats freely. Customers prefer freestone peaches because they dont want to struggle to get the flesh away from the seed. And thats how it goes in ston

33、e fruit land. Plant breeders(培育者 ) are trying all the time to improve the old favorites. Frequently, the changes are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers. One very delicious family of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small “beak“ at the bottom of the fruit.

34、 That little point is likely to break during packing and shipping, opening the door to spoilage(腐烂 ). This is certainly not to say that the wants of customers are not important. In fact, they drive some of the most important changes. One thing customers like is redlots of red. Peaches used to be pri

35、zed for golden skin; now people are buying red, regarding it as a sign of ripeness. But red has a hold on people. Theres a story told by those in the stone fruit industry about a marketing experiment. A group of people were given two peaches: one a fairly tasteless red variety, the other a great-tas

36、ting gold. Sitting around, tasting and talking about the fruit, the group all agreed that the gold was a much better peach and that was the one they would buy. Then, on the way out the door, they were offered boxes of peaches as a thank-you gift. One held the preferred golden fruit, the other the re

37、d. To a person, they picked the red fruit to take home. Red sells. 60 What does the word “stone “mean in the text? （ A） The hard seed inside a fruit. （ B） Containers that packers use. （ C） Small rocks found in the fields. （ D） Soft beaks at the bottom of the fruit. 61 Why do plant breeders try hard

38、to improve peaches? （ A） To get better shaped fruit. （ B） To meet the needs of growers. （ C） To make peaches taste better. （ D） To have a better chance for prizes. 62 Why do people like to buy red fruit? （ A） They believe it is ripe. （ B） It sells cheaper than gold. （ C） It is usually more delicious

39、. （ D） They know it is an improved variety. 63 What can we learn about the peach-tasting group in the last paragraph? （ A） They were experts on marketing. （ B） They took home golden peaches. （ C） They agreed about the taste of peaches. （ D） They said they would buy the red peaches. 63 Different coun

40、tries have different cultures. A same gesture may have distinct meanings in different countries. For instance, in Africa, people knock at the table with their fingers to call waiters which is considered as impolite in China. In western countries, if you make a circle with your thumb and the index fi

41、nger (食指 ), and then raise the other three fingers, you are suggesting “OK“. The same gesture, however, means “money“ in Japan while makes Brazilian people feel insulted (受侮辱的 ). With that in mind, youd better learn about their custom before travelling to foreign countries. Greeting is an important

42、part of communication between people. When greeting someone, Americans tend to hold out their hands and look directly into his/her eyes and then smile. However, sometimes such behavior might bring nothing but misunderstanding in other countries. A handshake might not be accepted and looking others r

43、ight in the eye can have different meanings. Asian people regard physical contact as embarrassing; therefore, they do not shake hands. They have their own ways of greeting people. For Japanese, a slight bow of the head is enough. In Korea, women do not shake hands or hug with people; while men might

44、 shake hands accompanied by nodding the head once. In western Asia, Muslims do not make body contacts with women yet hug is generally accepted among men. Same thing happens on eye contact. In many countries, people avoid direct eye contact to show respect. This can cause misunderstanding, too. In fa

45、ct, some Asian students have been regarded as lacking respect for their American teachers exactly because they failed to make eye contacts with their teachers. Though different cultures seem to have different ways of greeting, smiling is taken as the universal gesture of friendliness. Smiling indica

46、tes happiness or agreement (同意 ) and it can also be used to mean “Excuse me“ or “Please“. So when you are not sure what to do, just smile. 64 When two Japanese men meet, they might greet each other by _. （ A） shaking each other （ B） hugging each other （ C） kissing each other on both cheeks （ D） bowi

47、ng their heads 65 If an American makes an “OK“ gesture to a Japanese, then the Japanese probably think that _. （ A） they have agreed on something （ B） the American feels happy （ C） the American insults him （ D） the American wants money 66 What will be regarded as impolite? （ A） Make a direct eye con

48、tact with an American （ B） Try to hug a Muslim woman （ C） Bow to a Japanese when you first meet （ D） Smile to a French in order to show that you are happy 67 Whats the best title for this passage? （ A） Never shake hands with Asian people （ B） Different culture, different custom （ C） Smile as much as

49、 you can （ D） People behave rudely in foreign countries 67 The Northern Pike is a very bad fish. It is a big, hungry fish, and eats little fish. Many Northern Pike live in Lake Davis.
