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

26、For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened，and there was nothing special about it．Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better． One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything from our friends．Another way is to look for good points，not bad points in other people．It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be．

You do not have to be spineless（优柔寡断的） in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights（正当行为）．But do it politely and pleasantly．Being friendly and polite to your group，to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character．

You cannot expect to be perfect，and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes．Everyone makes mistakes，and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged （灰心丧气的） when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness，laziness，and other unpleasant qualities．Just remember that we all have some of these faults（缺点） and have to fight against them．

At the same time，it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others，the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people．When something is wrong，it is good sense to try to make it right．Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why，and look at yourself，too，to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you．Some day，things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation，without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change．

【1】One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to ____．

A．work hard at everything we do

B．enjoy the best share of everything

C．look for treasure in order to be successful

D．pay more attention to their strong points

【2】If a person wants to be popular，he or she has to____．

A．be polite and friendly

B．give up some rights

C．get away arguing with other people

D．be ready to change his or her character

【3】There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she

A．is modest and generous

B．does not draw a lesson from his or her own mistake

C．is selfish and lazy

D．is very happy with unpleasant quality

【4】The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to

A．train you to be perfect

B．show you the way to be happy

C．tell you how to act when you dislike a person

D．teach you how to be popular among your friends

27、

Hello, this is your gardening adviser. Now, just as our garden are at their most colorful, and most productive time, what do we do? We'll go off on holiday. What I suggest you do is this: invite a friend or neighbor to help you. You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you return, but first make sure that he knows how to do it. What he should not do is throw water over the leaves of the plants themselves, because if he does that, it will invite diseases. Also for the same reason, ask him if he can possibly water in the morning, rather than in the evening.

If you haven't got a greenhouse, there is one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away, and this is how you do it. Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath. Yes, the bath! Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are all wet. Now put the flower pots (花盆) to stand on the wet paper, go off holiday, and they should be alive and well when you return in two weeks' time.

Thank you for calling. Goodbye and good gardening!

【1】What is the passage about?

A.Holiday. B.Health. C.Bathing. D.Gardening.

【2】Which advice does the speaker give?

A.Pouring water to prevent diseases. B.Watering the plant in the morning.

C.Watering the plants in the evening. D.Throwing water over the leaves of the plants.

【3】What is not the reason the speaker repeats "the bath"?

A.To attract the listeners' attention.

B.To advise the listeners to buy beautiful baths.

29、阅读下面短文，从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

In the corner of my desk is a note, which is slowly turning yellow from time. It is a ________ from my mother, with only four sentences, but with enough influence to change my life forever.

In it, she praises my abilities as a writer. Each sentence is full of ________. The word “but” never appears on the card. However, the word “and” is there many times.

Every time I read it, I ask myself how many times I’ve said “but” to my own daughters.

Although our eldest daughter ________ got all “A” son her report card, teachers would always suggest that she ________ too much in class. I always forgot to ask them if she was improving. ________, I would greet her with, “Congratulations! Your Dad and I are very ________, but could you try to talk less in class?”

The same was true of our younger daughter. Like her sister, she is a lovely and bright child. She also thinks of the floor of her room as a closet(壁橱) which has often caused me to say, “Yes, that project is great, but ________ up your room!”

What I learned from my mother is to start thinking “and, and, and” instead. The fact is that “but” feels bad, “and” feels good. When our children feel ________ about what they are doing, they do more of it.

This is not to say that children don’t need or won’t pay attention to their parents’ ________. They do and they will. When those wishes are positive(积极的), amazing things happen.

It’s not ________ just to say we love our children. We’re also going to have to start guiding and taking part in what is right with our children.
