2、

One morning, when I was leaving for my business, a middle-aged man came up and asked me for help. He said he had no 【1】to get food for his large family.

"You look 【2】. Why don't you work?" I asked. "Simply because I cannot get work, sir." "If I give you work, what pay will you want?" "As 【3】as I can get bread for my family, sir." he answered.

I decided to find out if he really meant what he said. "OK. I'll give you one pound an hour, if you will carry a brick（砖）under your arm and walk around the square for 【4】hours without stopping. "Thank you, sir. I will."

I found a brick and started him on his walk before I went to my business. I never thought he would do what he had promised.

When I came back five hours later, I saw him still 【5】with the brick under his arm.

I stopped him and gave him five 【6】. He thanked me and told me that some people had offered to help him when they knew why he was 【7】 all this. He would go and ask 【8】for work. Before leaving, he asked if I would give him the brick. I did.

Several years later, a well-dressed man greeted me on a train. Seeing I was not sure who he was, he 【9】that he was the brick man and had his own business now. "You know, I still keep that brick and always value it as the most important thing I have as it has 【10】me luck and success.

In fact, it was not the brick that made the man successful, but his faithfulness（坚定）in doing even a very little thing.

22、Derek Redmond

It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.

The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn’t carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.

After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek’s father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, “Derek, you don’t have to do this.” Derek replied, “Yes, I do. I have to finish.” And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.

When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.

Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner

In the summer of 2010, mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner was almost at the top of a mountain called K2. She was trying to climb the 8,611-metre mountain for the fifth time, and this time she was climbing with her friend Fredrik Ericsson.

It was about 7 o’clock in the morning and it was snowing a little. The two climbers were getting ready to go up the last 400 metres. Fredrik was trying to tie some rope but he slipped and fell past Gerlinde. He fell 1,000 metres and was killed.

________ K2 was now a very sad place for her, and she thought perhaps she would never climb the mountain.

But there was something very important that she wanted to do: K2 is one of 14 mountains in the world that are 8,000 metres or higher, and her dream was to climb them all.

23、Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.

To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short term and long term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized(有条理的). When you put away a book—or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.

How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.

【1】In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________.

A．they are too worried

B．they don’t use a proper way

C．they have memory problems

D．they don’t like to study

【2】The underlined words “long-term” means ________ in Chinese.

A．长的学期

B．长期的

C．长的术语

D．长的条款

【3】The long-term memory ________.

A．lasts for only a few seconds

B．is like a very big lake with lots of fishes

C．is like a very big library with many, many books

D．is bad for students’ study

【4】According to the passage, you can memorize vocabulary by ________.

A．reading as often as possible

B．writing emails to the people you know

C．taking many photos about them

D．making pictures in your mind with the words

【5】This passage mainly tells us about ________.

A．how to improve ways to remember words

B．language students’ problems in study

C．short term and long term memory

D．how to make the meaning of words stronger
