24、   Is It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?

We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are. If your brain is taking in material quickly, you’re clever; if not, well, that doesn’t say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes – like the way you use to read – can make a big difference.

Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isn’t to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.

In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?

Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when you’re trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive – meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly…”

Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.

The bottom line is simple: Don’t feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audio’s limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.

【1】According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to ______.

A.take in the information B.pass the time in traffic

C.learn something difficult D.organize new information

【2】A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A.an audio book B.a book about physics

C.a book about computer D.a book made of paper or cloth

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.To read a book is better than to listen to it.

B.Readers are cleverer than listeners.

C.Reading books is a good way to pass time.

D.How fast we learn depends on how smart we are.

26、阅读与回答问题

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact， it' s more than 6，000 kilometers long. It winds its way from west to east， across deserts， over mountains， through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

 The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period， more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire， Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. Thus， the Great Wall came into being.

 The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers， where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

 It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth， but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

 Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

回答下面5个问题， 每题答案不超过7个词。

【1】How long is the Great Wall of China?

【2】When was the Great Wall joined up?

【3】When the enemy invaded，what did the soldiers do on the watchtowers?

【5】How do you understand “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man”?

Scientists are placing robot dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the s【1】on the effect of robot dogs  on old people’s feelings.

In the study, the r【2】, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live a【3】. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data (数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their e【4】feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if the robot dog has produced any changes in the life of its master.

“I talk to him all the time,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “W【5】I do, he’ll stay with me. When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The scientists say they have some a【6】over live dogs, especially for old people.

Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by e【7】walking it or playing with it.

“At the beginning, it was b【8】that no one would like the robot dog because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robot p【9】could become more valuable health helpers.   They will r【10】their masters’ data of health conditions. They may even one day help older people in many other ways.”

29、Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
