Musson
7、predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England.

14、 07.

Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the pr
21、esent of what we have learnt in the past. In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture. Our
22、verbal(言语的 )memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, or a recipe. With our emotional(情感的 )memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We als
23、o have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements. We have two ways of storing any of these memories: Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long-term memory, on the other han
24、d, may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance(记忆 )of when they were very young. Psychologists tell us that we only remember few facts about our p
25、ast, and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past or maybe victims needing sympathy(同情 ). 15 Visual memory helps us reca
26、ll a place we have been to. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 16 Visual memory may be used when we read a story. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 Verbal memory helps us read words we have never heard. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Emotional memory is used when we perf
27、orm physical movements. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Animals do not have a long-term memory. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 Long-term memory is more important than short-term memory. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Generally we remember only a few facts about
28、the past. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Dining Custom Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at 6:30, the hostess expects him to be there
29、at 6:30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks the guest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed. When the guest canno
30、t come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come. As guests continue to arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she has found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced
31、to a woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older. When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them. Even an American may be confused by the number of k
32、nives, forks, and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outside, or watch the hostess and do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served
33、with the soup. The spoon on butter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left. As the bread is passed, each guest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate. 22 As a country of immigrants, the U. S. does not have its own dinning customs. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 23 The
34、 guest is expected to arrive on time because the coffee and meat will be at their best time he is required to come. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 24 A woman usually rises when she is being introduced to an aged gentleman. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 25 At a dinner table, it i
35、s customary for the men to arrange chairs for ladies. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 26 At formal American dinner, the knives, forks, and spoons besides the plate are placed in a certain order. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 27 The right order to use the knives, forks and spoons
