24、Is reading better than watching TV? I believe it is. Is reading better than playing video games? I’m not so sure if it is. If learning is important to you, but not necessary so,and if pleasure is what you want,these activities can be pleasant in their own way. Reading might be better than many activities if you want to educate yourself and improve your chances of succeeding in your work.
If you’re serious about creating the habit of reading,what’s important is finding a time you can read every day—often that’s early morning or late at night,or both. For others, it might be during their lunch break. You only need to read for 10 to 20 minutes a day to form the habit.
Then, you need to find a place that’s comfortable. Make sure it has good lighting, the temperature is nice and you’re in a good chair. Or you can find some place that you can relax in without falling asleep, although there’s nothing wrong with sleep.
Next,be sure to shut off the TV,Internet,cell phone,radio, or other music. Let reading be a quiet time. Mark an “x” on your calendar every day you read, and try to keep your unbroken “x”es going as long as possible. A habit is much easier to form if it’s something you enjoy, not something you are made to do. So make the time, you spend reading a joy. I’ve been a lifelong reader, so the pleasure of a good book is one of my favorite things in the world. I love to lose myself in the world of a book.

25、 Cheetahs(猎豹)live on other animals they find in Africa. For this reason, most people are afraid of them. However, one family in South Africa is keeping a cheetah as a household pet.
The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie. She is surely the VIP at Magda and Japie Pienaar's home. She can often be found eating from the kitchen table or napping(打盹)on the sofa. Sometimes, she can even be found sleeping on the couple's bed. The big cat likes to play with the Pienaars' other pet — the more usual one — a German Shepherd. An unlikely friendship has developed between these two animals.
Having a cheetah as a pet is, of course, unusual. At first, Mrs. Pienaar was unwilling to keep a cheetah as a pet. "I really hated the idea of getting a cheetah as a pet," she said. "But we are now glad that we did it — she is part of the family," she added.
And just like Angelina Jolie, four-year-old Jolie the cheetah has risen to fame in the Pienaars' hometown. Fans often come to the couple's home to take pictures of her. Interestingly, Jolie seems to enjoy all the attention.
However, a cheetah is always a cheetah. Although Jolie is now a household pet, she hasn't totally gotten rid of her wild nature. "She makes a big mess in the house. She urinates(排尿)everywhere and chews on everything," complained Mrs. Pienaar. "It's just her instincts, perhaps."
So there might be some problems with having a cheetah as a pet in the house. However, some unusual fun must also be waiting ahead!
【1】According to this passage, cheetahs ________.
A.eat meat B.live in Asia C.make most people happy D.live with many families
【2】The pet cheetah's name came from ________.
A.their daughter B.a film star C.a famous writer D.the animal's birthplace
【3】In the couple's house, the pet cheetah can be found ________
A.using the toilet B.playing with the kids
C.eating from the kitchen table D.taking a short sleep on their desk
【4】What did Mrs. Pienaar think of keeping a cheetah at first?
A.She had mixed feelings. B.She was against the idea.
C.She thought over the idea. D.She felt excited about the idea.
26、Memory is the brain’s ability to remember the past. It falls into three types: sensory, short term and long term(感觉记忆、短期记忆和长期记忆). When you look at a page of a magazine, close your eyes and try to remember what it looks like. Your ability to remember what this page looks like is an example of your sensory memory. Sensory memory takes information from the environment, through human senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Sensory memory can take a lot of information, but information is only stored for a very short time, from 0. 5 to 4 seconds.
Can you remember the last thing you did before reading this passage? That’s your short-term memory. Its lasting time is about 5 to 10 seconds unless you actively try to remember information by repeating it. So the less important things may decay over time while more important things can end up in the long-term memory. Long-term memory is where you hold all your memories. One goal of learning is to get information into long-term memory, so you can use it later.
Your senses are receiving information all the time. Electrical and chemical signals(电信号和化学信号)travel from your eyes, ears, nose, touch and taste senses and the brain(大脑)then tries to understand these signals. In this way, you are going through the experience of remembering things.
【1】How does the writer explain sensory memory?
A.By listing numbers.
B.By asking questions.
C.By giving examples.
D.By making comparison.
【2】What does the underlined word “decay” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.come in
B.go away
C.come out
D.go back
【3】To remember the new words better, we can ________.
A.look them up in the dictionary
B.ask your teacher about them
C.write them down on paper
D.try to use them more
【4】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How we can remember things.
B.How our senses store things.
C.How electrical and chemical signals work.
D.How our brain makes sense of the signals.
【5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Our memory.
B.Chemical signals.
C.Five senses.
D.Our brain.
