Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children
but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can
still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years
and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not
thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle,
little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have
learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and
playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of
words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.
We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we
forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we
overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may
result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student
may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost
everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future
development.
24.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D.Stories for children are easy to remember.
25.The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules
C.making a comparison D.using examples
26.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Commonly accepted rules B.The multiplication tables
C.Things easily forgotten D.School subjects
27.What is the author’s opinion on cramming ?
A.It’s helpful only in a limited way. B.It leads to failure in college exams.
C.It’s possible to result in poor memory. D.It increases students’ learning interest.
C
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was
that he was very sick and they had no money for a very expensive operation.
When she heard her daddy say “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to
her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“What do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my brother, Andrew” the girl answered. “He
has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how
much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he
needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I’ve brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your house. I want to see your brother. Let’s
see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was
successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.
How much did the miracle cost?
28.In the eye of the little girl, a miracle might be _______.
A.something interesting B.something beautiful
C.some wonderful medicine D.some good food
29.The little girl said again and again “...I can try and get some more.” That shows _______.
A.she had still kept some money B.she hoped not to be refused
C.There was no need to worry about money D.she thought money was easy to get
30.What made the miracle happen?
A.The girl’s love for her brother. B.The girl’s money.
C.The medicine from the drugstore. D.Nobody can tell.
31.From the passage we can infer (推断) that _______.
A.A miracle is sure to happen if you keep on B.The doctor didn’t ask for any pay
C.The little girl is lovely but not so clever
D.Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought
D
Parents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at
table. Just three extra minutes at a family mealtime could help prevent child fatness. The reasons
might lie in communication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.
Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a
week, weigh lighter than kids who leave the table after15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful.”
Researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the influences of mealtime habits of families
with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an
important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have fat children.
Similarly, families who talked more together and communicated more positively during the meal,
were more likely to have healthy-weight children.
Teaching families how to make full use of family mealtimes was a wise idea. “This is
something we can do and teach. It’s also important to recognize the increasing differences of
families and their complex living schedules that may challenge(挑战) their abilities to plan ahead
and set some time to communicate with each other,” said Dr Fiese.
Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced more problems, including poor chances of getting
healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the children’s
weight. Dr Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more
possible.”
32.How long is reasonable for a family mealtime according to the text?
A.About 10 minutes. B.About 12 minutes
C.About 15 minutes D.About 20 minutes.
33.What’s the advantage of a longer family mealtime according to the text?
A.Children can better enjoy their meals. B.Children can have a good rest while eating.
C.Children can communicate more during the time.
D.Children can have more time to choose what they like.
34.What does the author want to show in paragraph3?
A.The result of a study. B.Different eating habits.
C.Causes of child fatness. D.The importance of normal eating
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Mealtime talk helps to lose weight B.Healthy food makes normal weigh
C.Poorer families have thinner children
D.Longer family mealtimes help prevent child fatness.

Ways to Take Care of Your Books

Avoid food and drinks.
Food and drinks are things that may be dangerous to your books. 38. If you need to read while
you eat, make sure your fingers are clean and dry as you hold the book or turn the pages.
Take care.
39. Don't let it drop to the ground. Don't place your books with the book open, face
down. You'd better use a book cover to keep your book in the best condition.

reading them. But also take care that the books should be placed in an upright (竖立的)position.
