Scientists use a test called Digit Symbol Substitution to assess everything from dementia(痴呆) to brain damage. Hartshorne, the lead author of the study, employed the test in his study of how intelligence changes over time. 1.

Most adults are bad at memorizing bits of information without context. A classic example is that you’ll have an easier time remembering a story about someone who bakes than a person with the last name Baker. 2.A 2011 study found humans are best at learning new names in our early 20s.

The human brain has a remarkable capacity to identify faces, and scientists are just beginning to learn why. On average, our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to peak shortly after our 30th birthday.

3. Don’t worry. A 2015 study suggests that our ability to sustain attention improves with age, reaching its peak around age 43.

Dating is tough. One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s. 4.Performance peaked for people aged around 48.

Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble(拼字游戏)? 5.According to people’s scores on multiple-choice vocabulary tests, most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmith(词语大师) abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.

A. Having trouble focusing?

B. Good news: Your best days may be ahead.

C. Young people don’t appear to be as burdened by this issue, though.

D. He found that participants’ performance generally peaked in their late teens.

E. Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo felt.

F. Adults approaching mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.

G. The results suggest that no matter what your age is, there’s always a new peak on the horizon.

 

A man who took a woman's seat on a train and refused to leave has been banned from rail travel for an unspecified period of time, China Railway Jinan Group said on Friday. Railway police also fined him 200 yuan ($29), according to the group.

A video posted online showed the man, Sun He, taking a window seat in an economy coach on a train from Jinan to Beijing on Tuesday, and refusing to give it back to the woman and taunting her.

"You have three choices - stand, take my seat or go to the dining coach," Sun told the young woman in the video. According to the tickets, Sun's assigned seat was one row behind the woman's.

When a train attendant came to mediate, Sun claimed he wasn't able to stand and asked for a wheelchair. A railway police officer tried to persuade him but failed, and he was then left alone. The woman was given a seat in the business-class coach.

The punishment, released on Friday, came after the nationwide anger and online condemnation (谴责) of Sun's behavior.

It remains unknown how long he will be banned from rail travel. But according to a guideline, offenders will be banned from rail travel for 90 or 180 days, depending on the violations. Violations include smoking on trains, traveling without tickets, failing to pay surcharges upon arrival, reselling tickets, using a fake ID and disrupting public order or railway safety.

The guideline, which took effect May 1, is part of measures to improve behavior and enhance public security and order.

On Friday, netizens exposed another similar case, China National Radio reported. A woman with a standing ticket took a passenger's seat on a train from Shenzhen to Qingdao on Wednesday, and refused to give it back even though a train attendant tried to mediate. The passenger and her companion were forced to stand for two hours from 4 am to 6 am, the report said.

B. All stuff and passengers did nothing during the whole matter.

C. Sun got away with not buying the train ticket.

D. The woman whose seat was sat by Sun got another seat in the end.

B. criticizing

C. swearing

D. advising

4.All the descriptions are true EXCEPT ______.

A First Responder is someone who immediately tries to help with some incident that occurs. This could be a response to someone who is hurt or injured, a natural disaster (like a fire, flood or tornado), or maybe your pet needs help.

The response might be at your house or in your neighborhood or community. When called, the First Responder is trained to come right away. A quick response is the surest way that the incident can be resolved in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of damage to individuals and to property.

A First Responder is responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, and the environment. They are trained in many areas like emergency management, public health, clinical care, public works, and in operating equipment.

Together, they work to provide support services at the “onset” of an incident. “Onset” means at the early stages. They work to help in all response areas of prevention, response, and recovery:

Prevention is trying to stop more things happening in the future as a result of this incident.

Response means what is done in the incident and how you react to those individuals in the incident.

Recovery means what is done to restore or rebuild (whatever it is) back to what it was like prior to the incident.

Dialing 9-1-1 is one way you can ask for help from First Responders. You should know when it is appropriate to call this emergency help number. Dialing 9-1-1 in cases that are not emergencies should be prevented. It wastes people’s time and takes away resources that are needed from other emergency situations. Your parents and teachers can talk to you about dialing 9-1-1.

We salute those people who are First Responders and we thank them for their quick responses to helping out in situations when needed. We thank them for their special technical skills and personal skills of kindness and caring they bring with them on every response job.

1.Which of situations should one contact First Responder?

A. Jane noticed a passer-by falling and unconscious during her shopping.

B. Helen was driving outside when a tornado occurred.

C. Little John’s puppy became mad and he could not control it.

D. All above.

2.Paragraph 2 to 4 imply all below EXCEPT that ______.

A. A First Responder is usually not far from the caller

B. A First Responder can support help when trouble begins

C. A First Responder is blame for their wrong doings

D. A First Responder should be professional on dealing with emergencies

3.9-1-1 should not be dialed without reason because ______.

A. the cost of dialing 9-1-1 will be quite expensive

B. others may need the emergency resource more

C. the number of 9-1-1 is not lucky

D. it is often hard to get through

4.The last paragraph may aim to ______.

A. express thanks for First Responders’ selfless work

B. call on everyone to join the team of First Responder

C. warn others not to turn to First Responder for help

D. give reasons why First Responders are amateur

Tests can be worrying even for the most prepared students. When some students take tests, their minds don’t work as well as usual. They may experience something called test anxiety (焦虑), which can have a negative influence on their performance. Well, the following tips can help you pass your next test more easily and achieve more success!

Get Enough Sleep

6 hours of sleep or less can slow your mind and thus has negative effects on your performance on tests, even if you spend those missed hours of sleep studying. So, it’s very important for you to get a good night of sleep before your big day.

Study Smarter

How do you study ‘smarter’? Make a list of the things you need to learn in order of importance. That way, if you don’t have enough time, you can still hit the items at the top of the list. Make a list of all the work you have to do, judge how much time each item will take, and compare that with the number of hours you have available; this will tell you whether you can read carefully or just skim, how much time you can spend checking papers, and tell you other ways to pace yourself so you can get everything done. If your time is still limited, it’s important to learn to let go of being perfect.

Visualize (想象) Success

Before you fall asleep each night, it is a great way to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully. Detailed visualizations can help you feel like you’re really experiencing something,and visualizing yourself doing well is a way to ‘practice’ success in a way that can help you perform better and feel confident. Visualizations can also help you to remember the facts.

Stay Calm

Anxiety can harm your memory, so it’s important to stay calm before and during tests. While that’s easier said than done, there are several techniques that can help you calm down quickly whenever you feel nervous. For example, breathing exercise has been shown by research to reduce test anxiety, and can be very effective in helping you relax: just take deep breaths and let the anxiety come out.

The World Bank is warning that the West Africa Ebola outbreak could seriously harm the economies (经济)of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone unless action is taken quickly. World Bank President Jim Yong Kim spoke to reporters recently to discuss the effects of the Ebola spread.

"Our findings show that if the virus(病毒)continues to spread, the economic cost to these countries could grow eight times by 2015. This would be a big catastrophe to their already weak economies," said Kim.

Mr. Kim says, "saving lives and preventing new spread" is most important. The bank has given $117-million for an "immediate help." The World Bank President says the SARS outbreak between 2002 and 2004 showed how a disease could damage economies. 800 people died from SARS and the economic losses were up to $40-billion.

Mr. Kim says SARS and the H1N1 outbreak of 2009 taught that fear and avoidance resulted in about 90-percent of the economic losses. That means the disease is causing two levels of economic damage.

"There are two kinds of contagion(传染). One is connected with the virus itself and the second is connected with the spread of fear about the virus," said Kim.

The World Bank thinks the losses to the economies of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will be big .Mr. Kim says losses could be about $97-million at the moment.

Mr. Kim says fast action is necessary. He says getting the disease under control is still far away. That is because there are not enough health care workers in the affected areas. The World Bank President says the most important measure is to act quickly in order to limit economic losses.

1.What does the underlined word mean in the second paragraph?

A. effort    B. disaster    C. warning    D. result

2.If quick action is not taken to stop the spread of Ebola, the economic losses could reach about_______by 2015.

A. $800-million    B. $97-million    C. $117-million    D. $40-billion.

3.What’s the main idea of the whole passage?

A. Ebola is a serious and infectious(传染的)illness.

B. Large numbers of people have died from Ebola.

C. People in the West Africa are in great fear of the spread of Ebola virus.

D. Ebola will harm economies in the West Africa seriously without quick action.

 

If you are interested in studying at an American university, you have to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language. The test is widely known as the TOEFL. It is the most widely used language exam for American universities.

There are two major kinds of the TOEFL test. The first is the IBT, or Internet-based Test. It is offered in most of the world and accepted by nearly every university and scholarship program in the United States.The other kind of the test is called the Paper-based Test or PBT. The PBT is less costly to take and does not require use of the Internet.

But how to get started with TOEFL? Here are some tips.

1. Plan ahead ---It takes a long time to improve your TOEFL score. Do not expect a big lift in your test results after two weeks. You will have to spend a lot of time and energy.

2. Master the basics first ---You should have to be good at basic English before you take the test. If you score below 500 on the PBT or 70 on the IBT, study for a few months and come back to the TOEFL later.

3. Get a study guide --- It is easy to find study guides for the IBT. Pearson, Barron's, ETS, and Kaplan all produce quality materials. Take a practice test once or twice a month. The best study guides will have explanations in the answer key.

4. Use outside resources ---  Remember, you are learning a language, not a test. You can improve your TOEFL score by making English part of your daily life. Some simple ways are listening to English speakers, watching movies and reading newspapers. Some others are reading English textbooks, sending and reading text messages in English, and writing online in English.

The best way to do well on the TOEFL is to know English well.The real goal of the test is to measure how well a student can communicate in English-speaking classroom.

Carlos had been in New York for five months now, and he detested it. He would never forget the day when the plane landed. His parents had big smiles on their faces as they discussed the wonderful new life they would have in this great city. His older sister and brother looked in wonder and excitement at the buildings. Uncle Miguel and Aunt Esperanza thought of the good jobs they would get. Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold, and dirty to him.

They lived in an apartment in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.

He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.

He began to go down to the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric-a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.

Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it and you can do it, too.”

From then on the taxi driver and the young boy began to develop a deep friendship.
