26、Many of us have experienced the following: the day before an exam, we try to squeeze a huge amount of information into our brain. But just as quickly as we acquire it, the knowledge we have gained is gone again. The good news is that we can solve this problem. With expanded time intervals between a person’s learning events, we keep the knowledge for a longer time.
But what happens in the brain during the spacing effect? It is generally thought that during learning, neurons (神经元) are activated and form new connections. In this way, the learned knowledge is stored and can be regained by reactivating the same set of neurons. However, we still know very little about how pauses positively influence this process.
Neurobiologists Annet and Pieter did an experiment, during which mice had to remember the position of a hidden chocolate piece in a maze (迷宫). On three continuous chances, they were allowed to explore the maze and find their reward—including pauses of different lengths. “Mice trained with the longer intervals between learning phases (阶段) were unable to remember the position of the chocolate as quickly,” explains Annet. “But the next day, the longer the pauses, the better was the mice’s memory.”
“If three learning phases follow each other very quickly, we naturally expect the same neurons to be activated,” Pieter says. “After all, it is the same experiment with the same information. But after a long break, we imagine the brain interprets the following learning phase as a new event and processes it with different neurons.”
However, the researchers found the opposite. In fast continuous learning phases, the mice activated mostly different neurons. When taking longer breaks, the same neurons active earlier were used again later. Reactivating the same neurons could allow the brain to strengthen the connections between these cells. With spaced learning, we may reach our goal more slowly, but we benefit from our knowledge for much longer.
【1】How does the author mention the problem in paragraph 1?
A．By introducing a theory.
B．By telling a story.
C．By making an assumption.
D．By presenting a case.
【2】Why did Annet and Pieter do the experiment?
A．To examine the influence of rewards on memory.
B．To explore how brain works during the spacing effect.
C．To confirm neurons’ functions in the learning process.
D．To determine the best intervals between learning phases.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The surprising result of the study.
B．The serious limitation of the study.
C．The future goal of the researchers.
D．The major worry of the researchers.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Learn Better by Distributing Tasks
B．Remember More by Taking Breaks
C．Clearing Minds Aids People in Memory
D．Spacing Effect Patterns Work Differently
27、 As we all know, it is very difficult to remember all the contents of a long passage. For that reason, it is wise to make notes of information that is necessary for the students when they read a passage. The result is a short of the passage, and it contains all aspects of the passage.【1】I ask the students to follow these steps.
●Familiarize with (通晓) the material. After students have read the passage or a section of it, they can start summarizing.【2】
●Select important information. I ask the students to go through each paragraph, sentence by sentence, asking themselves which information is necessary to the argument. They should point out complete sentences as much as possible.【3】Pay attention to these important points: author, title, reason why the passage was written, purpose, theme, key words, link words, all major aspects, explanations and author’s opinion.
●Paraphrase (释义) the information. I ask the students to point out the information of the previous step in their own words.【4】They should try to shorten long and complex sentences into much shorter ones.
●【5】Let students make sure that the connection between sentences is clear and reasonable and that each group of sentences smoothly fit in one paragraph.
A.Adjust the length of the summary.
B.Insert links (连接词) between sentences and paragraphs.
C.A choice is to underline important sentences or phrases.
D.In this way students can grasp the main ideas of the passage.
E.But we know reading is a practice of long period and we must have a lot of practice.
F.The length of the section read through depends on the structure and the complexity (复杂) of the passage.
G.And writing down information in their own words forces them to completely understand what they are writing down.
28、 There’s a small problem with a working holiday: working.
It seems like a fantastic idea. You picture yourself learning a foreign culture, meeting locals and making friends. What you don’t picture is the actual work.
Some people manage to keep a fine balance between working and holidaying. I’ve met plenty of working holidaymakers who are holding high-paying jobs that not only allow them to live in style, but that they also enjoy. Great.
For most working holidaymakers, however, that’s a daydream. You’re not working overseas to further your career — you’re working overseas to further your travelling expenses. And besides, most serious employers will take one look at that year-long visa (签证), and laugh you out of the building.
So you end up doing some of the jobs I’ve done.
Fruit picking. I did mine in the north of Scotland, which wasn’t satisfying, given it’s a place with a summer in name only.
Strawberries are a pain. It’s a case of bending your back for about eight hours straight. Lettuces aren’t much better. Again, more back bending.
Is picking fruit a nice way to spend a holiday? No.
So I became a line cook at a restaurant in Edinburgh. There, because there were no formal training systems in Scotland, I was handed a white jacket and referred to as a “chef (厨师)”. And as a “chef”, I would pull out boxes of frozen chicken tikka masala (冷冻香料烤鸡咖喱), putting them in the microwave until they were just so.
Again, not what you’d call a fun way to spend a holiday.
So when you’re planning a working holiday, it’s worth thinking about what you’re actually going to be doing, since that’s how you’ll spend your time while you’re away.
Is it going to be enjoyable? Will you be able to meet people, make friends? Is it going to allow you the time and money to do other things, see other places while you’re there?
Remember, it’s not a working holiday if you spend all your time working — it’s just work.
【1】According to the author, what will happen to most working holidaymakers?
A.They will live in style.
B.They will enjoy their travelling.
C.They can get plenty of good work experience.
D.They may have difficulty finding a good job.
【2】How does the author feel about his fruit picking experience?
A.Tiring.
B.Important.
C.Interesting.
D.Eye-opening.
【3】What do we know about the author’s job as a line cook?
A.He was trained hard.
B.He found it very difficult.
C.He was doing nothing skilful.
D.He learned how to cook chicken.
【4】What’s the author’s advice for those planning a working holiday?
A.To stick to their plan.
B.To know what to expect.
C.To be adventurous.
D.To be hard-working.
29、Feelings are the emotional and physical responses to what we think about and how we react to daily events. Feelings are natural — we can’t stop them from happening. Because we are all different, we respond to feelings in various ways, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively. But if we are aware of our feelings, we can learn to respect ourselves and others.
There are many misunderstandings about feelings. For example, “ Feelings, that womanish stuff. ” Recognizing that feelings are real and natural for everyone is important. Some of us may never agree that feelings are a part of living. It may be difficult for some of us to talk about our feelings. Learning about personal feelings is important in building self-awareness and relationships with others. Most mentally healthy individuals learn to accept feelings, both good and bad.
“Feelings don’t exist, or they are dangerous. So no one should talk about them. ” Refusing to admit feelings can damage relationships. It can also build up emotions to the point when negative behaviors break out, for example, when an angry person hits the table. Not being able to talk to those we respect about our feelings may cause an emotional “shut down ” . Talking about personal feelings with your family may help. But if it doesn’t, you may need to talk about your feelings with someone else.
Instead of denying feelings, it is healthier to talk about them. One of the most important things you can do to create respect in a family is never to deny someone’s feelings. Try to spend time each day, perhaps at the dinner table or in a private chat, talking about feelings. Teach your children by example, like “ I feel afraid that you will be sleepy tomorrow if you don’t go to bed soon. ” Learn to be a good listener and show understanding.
【1】What is the feature of feelings?
A．They are negative.
B．They happen naturally.
C．They are dangerous.
D．They exist in women.
【2】Why does the author mention “ an angry person hits the table ” in Paragraph 3?
A．To tell a story.
B．To explain an idea.
C．To show a fact.
D．To give a definition.
【3】What is the author’s attitude toward talking about feelings?
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Favorable.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Ways of sharing feelings in a family.
B．Effects of denying someone’s feelings.
C．Reasons for having respect in a family.
D．Importance of teaching kids about feelings.
