26、To an outsider，any culture can seem confusing.And the UK's got a thing or two that raises a few eyebrows.However，understand the why and things might be less puzzling.【1】.
In a world where 61％of nations drive on the right，Brits drive on the left.Why? Most people think it goes back to Medieval，maybe even Roman times.【2】 when you remember that right-handed people wear a sword on their left hip.Travelling on the left allowed you to keep your weapon arm toward your opponent，who would be on your right.This practice continued until the 18th century when a law was passed requiring all traffic crossing London Bridge to keep to the left.
Visitors to the UK that have just washed their hands in an old-fashioned sink might be wondering why one tap is only for hot water，the other cold.【3】.So，why this oddity? It relates to a time when hot and cold water were kept separate to prevent pollution.Drinkable cold water came from a mains supply，but hot water came from attic tanks and was not considered suitable for consumption.So they were kept apart.
Millions of people drink tea worldwide，but the odd Brits put milk in theirs.Why? This mysterious practice relates to the quality of china cup used in the 18th century when tea was first imposed.For the majority of Brits，the cups available couldn’t stand the heat of the boiling water and would break，so milk was added first.【4】.And this practical tweak soon became a national habit.
【5】.As you can see，these odd Brits have perfectly clear reasons for left-hand driving，two-tap sinks and tea with milk.Even if they still seem strange，at least now you’re in the know.
A．This makes it difficult to improve
B．There is a method to the madness
C．This unusual behavior makes sense
D．You can know the origins of the practices
E．Either can make washing very uncomfortable
F．This cooled the cup enough to resist the boiling water
G．Here are the reasons for three of Britain’s more puzzling practices
27、 When life tries to bring you down, just dance! That’s the message from Peng Xiaoying, 45, and her 49-year-old husband, Fan Deduo, in Zhejiang province. The couple-farmers who grow corn in Ruian, Wenzhou - recently went viral on the Internet with a shuffle dance(鬼步舞) they invented. They’ve cheered up millions of Chinese with smiling faces and easygoing attitude to life. The couple turned to dancing about four years ago. Fan was in low spirits after a serious traffic accident in Yunnan province 18 years ago. He became nervous, easily upset by small matters, and had trouble sleeping at night due to the accident. The couple then decided to end their shoe-selling business in Yunnan and returned to their hometown, Ruian.
To help overcome his sadness, Peng, who was a big fan of dancing in public squares, invited Fan to join her. As he danced, his suffering disappeared like magic. The couple then continued square dancing. That’s where they invented the shuffle, mixing some elements(元素) of rural life such as combing hair.
During the novel coronavirus epidemic(新冠病毒流行病), the couple uploaded their dance videos to Douyin, also known as TikTok, and began live-streaming on the sharing platform. Their big smiles and unique dance steps took cyberspace by storm, with more than 1.6 million netizens now subscribing to(订阅) their channel and following their dancing on the platform.

28、 We all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall（回顾）encourage purposeful learning.
But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.
“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.
How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said：“Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”
Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Others repeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.
Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent：“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”
People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.
【1】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.
B.The fresher the information is, the easier to remember.
C.Thinking is more important than remembering in study.
D.The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.
【2】How does the writer prove his opinion?
A.By giving examples. B.By listing numbers.
C.By borrowing words of experts. D.By providing scientific finding.
【3】What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book？
A.You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.
B.Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.
C.Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.
D.Regular repetition helps to form good habits.
【4】What may be the purpose of the last paragraph？
A.To summarize and stress his opinion. B.To ask the readers to use the skills to learn.
C.To introduce his opinion and attract readers. D.To tell readers to increase the value of memory.
【5】Which do you think is the best title of the passage？
A.How the Brain Works B.Reading for More
C.Fighting Against Forgetting D.Repeat to Remember
29、 As summer turns to fall and parents are buying children their new backpacks, it is time to think of how our schools work and whether they are inspiring true learning. The schools of today are largely those of our great-grandparents. While white boards may have replaced blackboards and DVDs are used instead of projectors, schoolroom atmosphere is remarkably unchanged. Teachers deliver inert (无活力的) information to eager and empty minds who will soon lose what Ellen Galinsky described as the “fire in their eyes”.
Our view of leaning is trapped in the learning illusion (错误观念) that content is all that matters. Of course, content is important. Who would not want to have the multiplication tables memorized? But content is constantly changing. Pluto? No longer a planet. If memorization of content is everything, children’s knowledge will be out of date. Classrooms at all levels need to emphasize “the six C’s”: content, collaboration, communication, confidence (risk-taking), critical thinking and creative innovation (创新).
Our approach to the economic threats we see on our borders is to push for 19th century memorization in a 21st century world. Yet the facts will be as close at the Google generation’s fingertips. We need to teach our children how to learn, and how Sally and Pedro can together figure out how to use technology to understand why some trees never lose their leaves while others do. We need John and Qonick to argue about the best way to solve that math problem, rather than just listen to what the teacher tells them. Today’s schools should be active places where kids are actually thinking together about problem-solving.
None of this is to say that children cannot learn in school. They can. But children are often expected to sit still, listen and repeat disembodied content. The “keys to the kingdom” of the 21st century will go to those who love to learn and can transform their knowledge in innovative ways.
【1】The underlined part “fire in their eyes” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.
A.desire for knowledge B.determination to succeed
C.anger shown to the teachers D.patience for the exam results
【2】Why does the author mention “Pluto” in the second paragraph?
A.To explain the meaning of the planet. B.To emphasize the school education.
C.To show knowledge is changeable. D.To advise children to work hard.
【3】Who does the Google generation refer to?
A.Scientists in the 19th century. B.The students in the 21st century.
C.Famous people in the 20th century. D.Experienced teachers in the world.
【4】It can be concluded from the text that _________.
A.students should sit still in the classroom B.it is better for children to learn at home
C.creative learning is very important now D.white boards can’t be used at school
