21、 People learn in different ways, and out of many forms of learning, one of particularly interesting—that is visual learning. Visual learners remember what they read over what they hear, and learn through sight. They are interested in using graphs and drawings to understand ideas.
【1】
While everyone has their own preference for learning, studies show that most people are visually inclined(有倾向的). 【2】 And thus, whenever people see pictures, those pictures are kept in the long-term memory, allowing them to recall concepts and ideas.
Visual learners can learn effectively in many ways. First of all, a to-do list is a highly regarded technique. 【3】 Even if you’re not a visual learner, a to-do list can let you order tasks based on importance and improve your productivity.
【4】 The idea is to display relationships and connections to people, places events and more. This technique helps with the learning of particular concepts.
Videos can easily catch people’s attention and allow us to recreate those stories into clear pictures in our minds. 【5】 In addition to recording the lecturers or their words, you can also record yourself and make videos explaining certain concepts. This plays a great role in the learning process.
A.These attract the attention of the individual.
B.So why not include them in your learning?
C.And they get used to taking notes during class.
D.Why can visual learning help with effective learning?
E.The brain processes pictures faster than it does with words.
F.With so many things to do, it makes sense to get them organized in to-do lists.
G.Moreover, mind-mapping is a form of note-taking that benefits visual learning.
22、Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents(洲).
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document(记录) his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.
【1】Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
【2】What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. His website inspires others a lot.
D. He used to work as a salesman.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone
C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far
23、 I remember that it was a hot afternoon. I was asked to have a drug test after I had a quarrel with the airport staff. I missed the flight home later because of bad weather. Now my flight home was full and running late. I felt sorry and unlucky.
At that moment, I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother watching me. He left his mother and slowly walked towards me. "Great!" I thought sadly, "Now I have to take care of a 5-year-old child. My day is now complete."
As he came closer, I found it was my hat that he was after. I wanted to tell him not to touch my things, but I was curious to know what he would do with my hat. With wide eyes, he gently touched my hat. He looked up at me, smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he wanted to wear my hat, he excitedly nodded, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didn't mind and held it up with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me, still smiling. With much respect, he slowly took off my hat with both hands and gave it to me.
I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. Holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, "Mister, you sure are lucky." "Yes, I sure am," I said. I admired the wisdom of a 5-year-old boy, as I got the last seat on that flight home.

24、For many people around the world, a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next, surrounded by too many uncomfortable, impatient people. But on the Moscow Metro, taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site. Depending on where you get off, you’ll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows, marble(大理石) columns, gilded(鎏金的) mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history.
“These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I’ve ever seen, “says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny.
When Burdeny, who himself has a master’s degree in architecture, first found out about Moscow’s metro stations, he was struck by the work of art. In all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.
Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally, taking photos of examples in both St. Petersburg and Moscow.
“But when I saw the stations in Moscow, they just completely blew away the St. Petersburg ones,” he says.
Shooting in the subway sounds simple, but it is not without challenges. For one thing, Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 00:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., when the stations were closed.
In the end, he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station, whose vaulted(拱状的) arches he found the most beautiful. But it also represented a challenge he was not sure if he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. The Arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.
“Some of the arches are quite long,” he says. “When you enter them, they’re just so completely grand.”

A. is a world-famous architect

A. when to take photos of Moscow subway stations
