24、 Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? Walking backwards might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.
Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, participants were split (分成) into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.
The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average(平均) than the other two groups.
This suggests that the link between the concepts (概念) of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed via (通过) space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度) compared to walking forward. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.
And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and bums more calories.
In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊柱) strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.
【1】In the research, the second group ________.
A.watched a video after walking
B.answered more questions correctly
C.walked farther than the other groups
【2】Why can walking backward help people improve their short-term memory?
A.Because space is really expressed via time.
B.Because the different angle can help to recall things.
C.Because our minds form memories by thinking back.
【3】According to the passage, walking backward is good for our ________.
A.hands B.eyes C.spines
【4】What does the underlined word “ease” mean?
A.解除 B.缓解 C.远离
【5】What’s the best title of this passage?
A.Let’s Walk Backward Today.
B.Walking Backward Is Good for Brains.
C.How to Improve Our Short--- Term Memory
25、Meeting someone for the first time can be embarrassing (尴尬) if you get it wrong. Suppose you are going to meet a person from the UK. Do you know what you should say and do?
A handshake is the most common way to greet someone, especially if you are in a formal situation. However, the type of handshake is important. Your handshake should be confident, but that doesn’t mean you need to crush (挤压) anybody’s fingers. On the other hand. don’t be too weak. It’s always a good idea to smile and make eye contact with the person you are shaking hands with. Lastly take hold of the hand and shake it up and down twice. Don’t hold on for too long.
Hugging and kissing are more informal greetings in the UK. They are usually for friends, family and small children. When meeting someone for the first time, you may not want to use these types of greetings.
In the past, Britons would usually greet strangers with a “How do you do?” Today, this phrase is seen as out-of-date. It’s rarely used. Phrases such as “How are you doing?”and “How are you?” have become more popular. However, when a Briton says “How are you?”to you he or she probably doesn’t expect you to really answer the question. You may just respond with a “How are you?” to him or her.
Greeting phrases may differ from one place to another. You might hear a “Now then?” or “Ey up?” when you meet someone from the north of the UK. How should you respond then? Just smile and say “Hi!”or “How are you?”
【1】Which is the most common type of greeting when meeting someone for the first time?
A.

D.

26、Welcome home! The Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft returned to Earth on Sept 17.The three astronauts were found in good health. Actually, the return journey was so smooth that Tang was seen playing with a pen in the return capsule.
However, there were dangerous and challenging parts that you might not know about the landing. While the return capsule entered the atmosphere, the temperature of its outside could be higher than 2, 000 degrees! “Real gold fears no fire,” Nie joked as they experienced this. Special materials on the outside of the capsule kept the astronauts safe inside.
More dangerously, the astronauts experienced a blackout (黑障) period, which was caused by the heating. It means they lost radio touch with Earth for several minutes. Radar helped people on the ground locate the capsule.
When the capsule was about 10 kilometers above the ground, it prepared to land. At the time, the capsule sill traveled at 200 meters per second. That’s twice the speed of high-speed trains! It was too fast to directly land. Therefore, parachutes (降落伞) are used to soften the landing. Even so, if a chute is too big, it might turn over, just like an umbrella on windy days. So the capsule first opened a small chute before pulling out its giant main chute—as big as 1, 200 square meters! They let the capsule slow down gradually.
Sept 17 was Liu Boming’s 55th birthday. He said it was his most memorable birthday. We can believe him!

27、The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future exploration(探险) in space. The distance between the Moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between the Earth and other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away! Traveling to the planets will be man’s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous(冒险).

Also the atmosphere of Venus(金星) is very dense(稠) and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth’s atmosphere.
