In a study recently published in the journal Neuron, researchers found that super memorizers don’t have unusually large brain regions that allow them to remember a lot of information. 1. Here are a few of their favorite tricks that can help you to remember things in your everyday life. To Remember: New words Technique: Change routine In a study, a group of students studied a list of words in two separate sessions. Some studied in a messy room ant some in a neat space. One group of students spent both sessions in the same room, while the other split the sessions between the two environments. During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more. 2. That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc. To Remember: Your PIN Technique: Count it out You could use your birthday, or your phone number, but identity thieves have a way of figuring those numbers out. 3. Write a four- wort sentence. Then count the number of letters in each word. For instance, “This is my PIN” =4223. To Remember: Faces Technique: Focus on noses White some super memorizes specialize in associating names with faces, the memory-palace technique doesn’t work as well if the image of the face is changed in any way. Rather than focusing on eyes, as most people do, focus on the centre or to the left of a person’s nose. 4. To Remember: Facts & figures Technique: 5. To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one. If your exam is in a week, study today and then again in a day or two. If it’s a month away, study today and then wait a week before your second session. A. value exams B. Give yourself time C. This allows you to take in their whole face. D. Their brain structures are in fact the same as the rest of ours. E. Instead, try this tip from Dominic, an eight-time World Memory Champion. F. The theory is that your brain links the words to the environment around you. G. Studies showed that varying other aspects of your environment can also help.
Rich as a King William 1, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or riding lawn mower (除草机). How did he get by? History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw. Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living person: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors, There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no we want a hot bath too. Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean. Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my awn worn Formica will seem equally shabby, I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait. 1.What docs the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean? A. Succeed as a king. B. Deal with complains. C. Get some extra money. D. Live in a satisfactory way. 2.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 3.According to the passage, the author intends to . A. tell us to be content with life B. warn us to live in a simple way C. leach us to learn lessons from life D. encourage us lo struggle for wealth 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards life? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Cautions.
It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do fess well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment. To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development. At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families. The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness. 1.What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program? A. The large number of poor families. B. The disapproval from children. C. The late start of the program. D. The long period of time. 2.What do we know about the “Missouri” program? A. It focused on the children’s first school teachers. B. It helped the children return to the same home. C. It made the children improved in many aspects. D. It gave the parents advice on their development. 3.According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance? A. The number of family members. B. The teacher-student relationship. C. The intelligence of their parents. D. The parent-child communication. 4.How does the author develop the passage? A. By listing figures. B. By making comparisons. C. Ry presenting ideas. D. By drawing conclusions.
Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon---a total lunar eclipse (月蚀)---on the roof of their house. Now a seventh-grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed-Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind. “I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.” “My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says. Dobek’s design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Crowing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars. Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek’s design. A simulation (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual (虚拟的) reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes. “I want to tell other kids to follow their passions.” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do they should push for it and always try their best.” 1.Dobek first became interested in apace when . A. she was still a seventh-grader B. she studied at a junior high school C. she lived on the top of their house D. she watched an eclipse of the moon 2.Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because . A. she knew Dobek liked challenges in life B. she had no other students interested in Mars C. Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts D. she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance 3.What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station? A. The environment on Mars. B. The safety of the supplies. C. The activities for astronauts. D. The comfort of the astronauts.

Movies have documented America for more than one hundred years. Since Thomas Edison introduced the movie camera in 1893, amateur and professional movie-makers have used moving pictures to tell stories and explain the work of business and government. 1. By preserving these movies, we will save a century of history. Unfortunately, movies are not made to last. 2. Already the losses are high. Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive. Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist. For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost. For many libraries and museums, the hardest step in preserving movie collections is getting started. The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations. 3. These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them. The Guide contains basic facts for “beginners”—professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area. The Guide grew from user workshops at Duke University. At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections. 4. Following the advice, the Guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources. 5. The Guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean. A. “Keep it simple!” was the advice of the discussions. B. They’ll be damaged within years if not properly stored. C. These organizations are the first to save American movies. D. It is organized in chapters and includes case studies and charts. E. It introduces movie preservation to nonprofit and public institutions. F. They show how generations of Americans have lived, worked and dreamed. G. They store the original movies and new ones under cool-and-dry conditions.
A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) character—and no special glasses or earphones are required. Instead, the complete environment-the seat, the sitter and the cartoon characters-is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold. How does the illusion work? A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects the bench and the person. And then computer translates them into the 3D animations. Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user. “Our goal for this project was: hear a character coming, see them enter the space, and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research. Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion, the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented—reality (扩充实境) experience, all at the same time. In a video show, a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench, causing sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise. Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they feel an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down. When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head, as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it. 1.What does the Magic Bench need to work properly? A. Special glasses. B. Earphones. C. A mirror. D. A screen. 2.What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The shaking that is happening. B. The 3d animations on the screen. C. The figures about physical objects. D. The interaction with animated figures. 3.What’s the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology? A. Its fantasy can be seen only by a single user. B. It is designed to create more animated characters. C. It allows many people to experience the fantasy together. D. Its user and the animated character occupy the same space. 4.Which is the best title of the text? A. Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture B. Audience Become Cartoon Characters C. Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage D. Disney’s Cartoon Figures Come into Reality
Pinewood Studios is located (位于) about twenty miles west of central London and named after the pinetrees in the grounds. Pinewood has been at the heart of both British and international film production. The house, Heatherden Hall, was bought by Charles Boot in 1934, and he and J. Arthur Rank became partners in the project to build the studios. Pinewood proved pioneering in its use of the “unit system” that allowed more than one film to be made at a time,and this enabled Pinewood to achieve the highest output of all the studios in the world. The first film to be completed at Pinewood was Talk of the Devil (1936, Reed) while the immediate postwar period saw six major productions including the praised Oliver Twist ( 1948 , Lean ) and The Red Shoes ( 1948 , Powell and Press-burger). The 1950s saw countless productions including the Doctor series and medical comedy, which were the fathers to the Carry On films: the series started with Doctor in the House (1954,Thomas) and led to a further six films. Other notable films of the 1950s age include The Prince and the Showgirl ( 1957 Olivier ) starring Marilyn Monroe, Carve Her Name with Pride (1958 , Gilbert), North West Frontier (1959 Thompson) and The Thirty-Nine Steps (1959, Thomas). The Thirty-Nine Steps was a reworking of John Buchan’s novel originally filmed by Hitchcock in 1935. Because of its new ideas and skills, American production companies crowded to Pinewood and a major reinvestment (再投资) was required. During the 1960s,four new stages were built to accommodate every aspect of film and television production. This period also saw the start of the association between Pinewood and the James Bond series, which started in 1962 with Dr No (Young). The studios have continued to produce imaginative and technically challenging material such as Superman (1978,Donner), Superman Ⅱ (1980,Lester),Superman Ⅲ (1983, Lester), Superman Ⅳ: The Quest for Peace (1987, Furie),and Batman (1989,Burton). 1.How long is the history of Pinewood Studios’ first film? A. About 60 years. B. About 70 years. C. More than 80 years. D. More than 100 years. 2.What made Pinewood Studios produce most? A. Its famous actors and actresses. B. Putting the unit system into use. C. Its proper location and translation. D. The serious attitude of its leaders 3.Which film was completed during the early postwar period? A. The Red Shoes. B. The Quest for Peace. C. The Thirty-Nine Steps. D. The Prince and the Showgirl. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. The ups and downs of Pinewood Studios. B. The best films made by Pinewood Studios. C. The location and characters of pinewood Studios. D. The history and achievements of Pinewood Studios.
Wellington: Huawei has started a rugby-themed media campaign in a bid to win over New Zealand’s public after the country’s security agency blocked the Chinese technology giant’s equipment from being used in a nationwide Internet network. “5G without Huawei is like rugby without New Zealand,” ads in New Zealand’s two largest newspapers read alongside a photo of players competing in a ball. Large posters also appeal to the country’s love of the sport. In November, New Zealand’s Government Communications Security Department (GCSD) told Spark it couldn’t use equipment from Huawei-the worlds largest telecommunication equipment company—in the building of its 5G network because an unspecific “significant network security risk was identified”. Spark is now in the process of seeing if it can make changes to prevent those risks, although GCSD has declined to publicly say how that would happen. Huawei’s newspaper ad goes on to argue the decision would mean less advanced technology and higher prices for New Zealand customers. The ads come after the company last month publicly offered to only use New Zealand, rather than Chinese, staff to build the network—in a bid to ease fears—and called for an urgent meeting with the government, denying (否认) there had been any wrongdoing. Western spy agencies have increasingly raised security concerns about Huawei—China’s largest telecommunications company-over what they say are possible links to the Chinese government, with the United States reportedly pressing Five Eyes intelligence network allies (同盟国) to avoid the company. Australia and Canada were the first countries to ban Huawei from a building of 5G networks. The company has repeatedly denied accusations. New Zealand’s top politicians have repeatedly denied the GCSD decision was influenced by other Western powers and say it’s about the particular technology being suggested, not China. They have also denied suggestions New Zealand’s diplomatic ties with China have been tense over the decision, with the official promotion of a major China—New Zealand tourism project now postponed. 1.Why did Huawei make the ad? A. To ask New Zealanders for advice. B. To tell New Zealanders how powerful it is. C. To get support from the public in New Zealand. D.

Kids Connect is a camp specifically for children with physical and mild intelligence disabilities aged 9-16 (Single consideration given to those over the age of 16). It is held in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland. Occasionally we require meeting a child before camp to ensure we are able to meet their needs during the camp. Acceptance is not automatic, but at the decision of the camp director. Our camps are conducted by experienced staff. We take every effort to give your children a safe and enjoyable weekend. Our aim is that every child comes away with lasting memories of what they have experienced, explored and enjoyed at our camp. We focus on building strong, healthy relationships with other children (with and without physical disabilities) and with group leaders. We have a weekend packed full of activities, action and fun. ● Team games and competitions, songs ● Cross-country race on a wheelchair accessible track ● Motorcycling ● Process design ● Discussions, great food and loads of fun! The camp fee is approximately $135 (subject to change). We also accept payment by way of Ministry of Health carer support forms. Day visits and rates can be organized on a personal basis if a full weekend stay is unsuitable.
