26、We all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.
But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use, It makes choices and fends to remember information that forms a memorable paten. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t yet taken root in your mind.
Forgetting allows us to prioritize (put something above others). We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day. Anything irrelevant to our survival will take up space." writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.
How do you avoid losing 90% of what you’ve learned? Inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said, Repetition is the mother ‘of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment."
Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once, you don’t really learn it at least not well enough to store the new information permanently. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information multiple times. Others repeat’ particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.
Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent, closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.
People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.
【1】How does the writer prefer to prove his opinion?
A．By giving examples.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By borrowing words of some writers.’
D．By providing scientific findings.
【2】What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?
A．You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.
B．Summarizing is an effective way to remember.
C．Forgetting forces human brain to make wise choices.
D．Regular repetition helps to form good habits andeffects.
【3】What may be the author’s aim of the last paragraph?
A．To summarize and stress his opinion.
B．To ask the readers to use the skills to learn.
C．To introduce his opinion and attract readers.
D．To tell readers to increase the value of memory.
【4】Which do you think would be the best title of the passage?
A．How the Brain Works
B．Reading For More
C．Fighting Against Forgetting
D．Repeat to Remember
27、 I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to repeat the sixth grade. At that time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class? she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation. After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me?”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending （依赖）on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder," she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

C.She was too busy with her own wedding. D.She had no way to get in touch with him.
28、Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
【2】What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph “Television has not killed reading, however.” suggest?
A. People only need reading, though.
B. Reading is more fun than television.
C. Reading is still necessary today.
D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.
【3】Where can you probably see this passage?
A. In a travel booklet.
B. In a science report.
C. In a fashion show magazine.
D. In an education book review.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Most children are taught the virtue of honesty from fairy tales and stories. The famous story of Pinocchio, who begins life as a puppet, teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story about the boy who "cried wolf" describes how lying led to his losing all of his sheep as well as the trust of his fellow villagers. These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy." Still, lies are told all the time and are part of many people's everyday social life. Then why do so many people lie?
While everyone makes a mistake, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they fear blame. For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse-a lie-to save face.
Parents, particularly those with small children, may teach their children to use a type of "protective" lie in certain situations. What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents leach their children to explain that mom and dad are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, a lie can prevent harm.
Many times people lie to protect the feelings of other people, and there's nothing wrong with that. A good friend shows up with a bad new haircut, you're more likely to say, "It's very cool! It suits you." You might tell a cook you loved the dinner even if you could hardly eat it, or tell a friend you loved the shirt you got as a gift even though you knew you would never wear it.
