Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp(猩猩) or a teenager The teenager Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.
Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short- term memory and long- term memory. Your short- term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long- term memory involves(涉及) the information you try hard to keep, because it's meaningful to you( an example is data(资料) about family and friends). And then there is visual(视觉的) memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.
Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing's for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try picture s with English words At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.
Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.
( )19. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Chimps are cleverer than human beings.

C. Scientists have made sure of the nature of memory.

I walked quickly out of my church. It was late. My dad was waiting. I stared at the parking lot. Then I saw my dad's little red Honda.“ Get in! Get in! Why are you so late all the time ”
The ride home was not much more than five minutes but each minute moved slowly. We were stuck behind an old man. He wasn't going more than 15 kilometers an hour. My dad started to shout,“ Learn how to drive, Grandpa!” He hit the steering wheel with his hands. He was really angry.
“ Dad, stop it. Why do you always… ” He cut me off, “I'd not get stuck at the light without this fellow!” The old man got to the light just as it was changing.“ You’ re free! Drive away quickly!”I thought. I looked over my dad.“ Can you believe that, Steph I get stuck at every light. There are so many stupid drivers out there,” he said angrily.
Who gives him the right to shout at someone Anger built inside me.“ What ifI shouted at my friends when they asked me for help ”I said. I looked out of the window, trying to catch my breath.
“ You know, Steph, I think you are going to be a psychologist(心理学家).” he said. I remembered the last time I tried to say something, he had fumed,“ Don't tell me how to drive! If I want your opinion, I' ll ask for it! Think about what you say before you talk.”
Usually, he'd be angry that I would doubt his authority(权威), but this time, he accept what I had said. A sense of pride rose up in me. It had been a short drive, but it had been the best car ride of my life.
( )23. According to the passage, we could see the father was .
A. impatient and bad- tempered B. generous and kind- hearted
C. polite and easy- going D. rude and cold- blooded
( )24. Why did Steph's dad drive slowly on the way home
A. Because there were too many traffic lights all the way.
B. Because there were too many cars on the way back.
C. Because there was something wrong with his car.
D. Because an old man before them drove very slowly.
( )25. The underlined word“ fumed” in Paragraph 5 probably means“ ”.
A. got angry B. got upset
C. got excited D. got disappeared
( )26. Why did a sense of pride rise up in Steph
A. Because he had doubled his father's authority.
B. Because his father accepted what he had said.
C. Because he was going to be a psychologist.
D. Because his father changed his decision this time.

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched You turn around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a“ six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker,“I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
( )27. What's the aim of the two experiments for
A. Prove why humans have a sixth sense.
B. Explain when people can have a sixth sense.
C. Show how people act while being watched in the lab.
D. Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.
( )28. What sense do parapsychologists say that humans have
A. A natural ability. B. A natural staring ability.
C. A strange thinking. D. A looking feeling.
( )29. In the second experiment, the subjects .
A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren't.
B. couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they weren't
C. couldn't tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren't
D. could tell when they were stared at but couldn't tell when they weren't
( )30. What can we learn from the passage
A. People are born with a sixth sense.
B. The experiments support parapsychologists' idea.
C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D. People have a sixth sense in all places.

I live in a house in Bristol with two other students. The university doesn't have rooms for all of its students. So, every summer, there are a lot of us looking for flats and houses in the city. My friend Kate and I found the house, but the price was quite high. So we had to find a housemate to share with. We put an ad in one of the student magazines and got lots of answers. We chose to live with Melanie, a third- year medical student. The house has only got two bedrooms upstairs so we changed the dining room into another bedroom for Melanie. The owner didn't mind, and luckily, the kitchen is big enough to eat in. We all have lunch in the university and we share the cooking in the evenings. I usually do it on Tuesdays and Fridays. There's only one bathroom, which is quite a problem, as Kate spends a long time in there in the morning! The house has got a small garden, but none of us likes gardening, so I'm afraid it 's a bit of a mess! Next year, Kate, Melanie and I are going to stay together— we might look for a house a bit bigger and对 many center the university.

书面表达
In English class, we should not be afraid of speaking English and we must be confident in ourselves.
However, the most important thing is that we should take interests in English. If we aren't interested in English, we can't concentrate on our studies.
After having an interest, we should listen to the teacher carefully in class and take notes, and we are supposed to practice our listening skills with the teacher's permission. We can also work in groups with others. Besides these, we should take an active part in activities by ourselves as much as possible.
“ No pains, no gains.” if we can develop a good habit about English, whatever the trouble is, we can face and deal with it casily. Only then will we enjoy the pleasure of learning English.
