“Most experiences of absent - mindedness-forgettingwhere you left something or wondering why you justentered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention, "says Schacter. “You" re supposed to remember something,but you haven" t encoded(编码） it deeply. "

Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying

attention to an event that has a major impression onrecalling it later. Failure to encode properly can createtroublesojme situations. If you put your mobile phone in apocket, for example, and don" t pay attention to what youdid because you" re involved in a conversation, you" Ilprobably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hangingin your cupboarD. “ Your memory itself isn" t failing you,"says Schacter, “Rather, you didn" t give your memorysystem the information it needeD. "

Lack of interest can also lead to absent -mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, ”says Zelinski, “ may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox. " Women have slightly better memories than men,possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.

“Visual cues(视觉提示）can help prevent absent-mindedness, " says Schacter, “But be sure the cue is clearand available. ” If you want to remember to take a medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-don" tleave it in the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.

Another common experience of absent - mindedness:walking into a room and wondering why you" re there. Mostlikely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone

does this from time to time, ” says Zelinski. “The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering theroom, and you" II likely remember. "

1、The writer of the passage thinks that encoding properly is very important because__A____.

A.it enables us to recall something from our memory

B.it slows down the process of losing our memory

C.it helps us understand our memory system better

D.it helps us to get back to where we were

2、 One possible reason why women have a little better memories than men is that＿D___，

A .they rely more on the environment

B. they have a wider range of interests

C.they have an unusual power of focusing their attention

D. they are more interested in what" s happening around them

3、Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder?____B___

A.It will easily get lost

B. It is out of your sight

C.It" s not clear enough for you to read

D. It might get mixed up with other things

4、From the last paragraph we can learn that__B__

A .repetition might help improve our memory

B. memory depends to a certain extent on the environment

C.we" d better return to where we were if we forget things

D. we should think about something else while doing one thing

5、 The passage is mainly about___C___

A. the memory system of persons

B .a way of encoding and recalling

It has been said that no town grows up until it is home to a college or university. Knowing this, as early as 1944, far-sighted community leaders began to plan for and raise money for the creation of a junior college in Columbus. In February of 1958 the Georgia Legislature passed the Junior College Bill(法案）， which stipulated that all colleges qualifying for state funding must be in operation by September of1958.It was a challenge to meet the deadline, but on September22, 1958, Columbus came of age: Columbus College began classes in the old Shanon Hosiery Mill, with 13 faculty members, five academic programs and 227 students. The phenomenal growth of the college began. In 1960, the first class of graduates received their associate degrees. In 1963,the college relocated to its present site. In 1965, the college was authorized to move up to the four-year status, and 1966saw the first enrollment in a bachelor" s degree program. In1973, the first graduate students began classes leading to the Master of Education degree and finally, two years ago,Columbus College became Columbus State University.

Some of the benefits from the university to our town are obvious-the spreading of knowledge and culture, skills and technology through college and advanced courses that students are able to take locally.

A major benefit from the university to our town is not so obvious, perhaps. Hundreds of highly educated and talented faculty and staff have become citizens of our area,contributing their skills, expertise and viewpoints to the common good of the community and generally promoted the progress of the area in a number of diverse ways.Looking back over 40 years of growth, and forward into the next century, the dream of those leaders who had the foresight to bring the college to Columbus has been fulfilled beyond their dreams.

The idea that prompted the community leaders in Columbus to plan for the creation of a college is that .__C__

A towns can grow very large if they have a college

B the town must have a college for their own benefit

C a town cannot be fully developed without a college

D foresight is essential when they plan for the college

2、Columbus College began classes in September, 1958 so that it obtained financial support from .__B____

A.citizens of the Columbus area B.the state government

C.private companies D.students" tuition

How-many years did it take the students at Columbus College to receive an associate degree?__A____

A.Two years. B.Three years. C.Four years. D.Seven years.

4、The meaning of the word "phenomenal" (Para. 2) can be expressed by___A_____

A.remarkable B.surprising C.far-sighted D.hasty

5、The writer" s purpose in writing this article is most likely to____B_______

A. recount the university" s history

B.celebrate the university" s 40th anniversary.

C.ask more students to attend the university

D.show the importance of the university to the town" s residents

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One"s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush.City people always appear to be hurrying to get where theyare going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.

At first.this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you;storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you;people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles,briefconversations with people as you shop or dine away from home . Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often,life is much slower outside the big cities,as is true inother countries as well.

Americans who live in cities such as New York Chicago.or Los Angeles,often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done,they expect others to"push back".just as city people do inTokyo. Singapore or Paris,for example. Sut when they discover that you are a stranger,most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city asstrangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be Jf you need help or want to ask a question,choose a friendly looking person and say. "I am a stranger here. Can you help me? "Most people will stop.smile at you,and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by.not noticing that youare new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally. you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid.If this happens,do not be discouraged;just ask someone else.MostAmericans enjoy helping a stranger.

Suppose we built a robot(机器人） to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun.Should we program the robot tobe equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.

According to the evolutionary(进化的）theory of sleep. evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny(否认） that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar,safe place, but we sleep lightly. if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.

The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance,sleep so much,while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating. because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply.because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.

1. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us___B_____

A.the differences between robots and men

B.the reason why men need to sleep

C.about the need for robots to save power

D.about the danger of men working at night

2. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ___C____

A.maintain a regular pattern of life

B.prevent trouble that comes looking for him

C.avoid danger and inefficient labor

D.restore his bodily functions

3、According to the author,we cannot sleep well when we__A______

A.are worrying about our safety

B.are overworked

C.are in a tent

D.are away from home

4、Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats____D_____

A.need more time for restoration

B.are unlikely to be attackers

C.are more active than horses when they are awake

D.spend less time eating to get enough energy

5、Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? ._____A_____

A.Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattem of sleeping and waking.

B.The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.

C.Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.

D.The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.

For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards" ; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward. at least in the early stages,had to be directly related to such basic physiological(生理的）“drives”as thirst or hunger. In other words,a baby would learmif he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort. not otherwise.

It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.

Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to "reward"the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements,such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with dear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children" s responses in situations where on milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement "switched on". A display of lights-andindeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result for instance, two left or two right,or even to make as many three turns to one side.

Papousek s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not tum back to watch the lights closely although they would＂smile and bubble"when the display came on. Papousek conduded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them. it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem.inmastering the skill,and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.

According to the author,babies learm to do things which_____C______

A.are directly related to pleasure

B.will meet their physical needs

C.will bring the mafeeling of Success

D.will satiafy their curiosity

2、Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby.

A.would make learned responses when it saw the milk___C____

B.would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink

C.would continue the simple movements without being given milk

D.would tum its head to night or left when it had enough to drink

3、In Papousek" s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to .___A____

A.have the lights turned on

B.be rewarded with milk

C.please their parents

D.be praised

4、The babies would “smile and bubble" at the lights because__D______

A.the lights were directly related to some basic "drives"

B.the sight of the lights was interesting

C.they need not turn back to watch the lights

D.they succeeded in “switching on" the lights

5、According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of___A______

A.a basic human desire to understand and control the world

B.the satisfaction of certain physiological needs

C.their strong desire to solve complex

D.a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking. cycling or swimming. or in winter skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind-foot-ball,hockey,golf,or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山）。

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football.There are,of course,rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains arefree to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives maydepend,there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and are powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires highmental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier if probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in theirearly twenties. But it is not unusupl for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time that younger men,but they probablyclimb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

1、Mountaineering involves everything EXCEPT___D___

A.cold B.hardship C.risk D.astonishment

2、The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of_____B________

A .activity B.rules C.uniform D.participants

3、Mountaineering can be called a team sport because___C_________

A.it is an Olympic event

B.teams compete against each other

C.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

D.there are 5 climbers on each team

4、Mountaineers compete against____A_____

A.nature

B.each other

C.other teams

D.international standards

5、The best title for the passage is___C___

A.Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football

B.Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports

C.Mountaineering

D.Mountain Climbers

Faces,like fingerprints,are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the featuresthat make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone" s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks,thinks and feels that makethat individual different from other.

Like the human face,human personality is very complex. But describing someone" s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked todescribe what a"nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.

But if you were asked to describe a "nice person",you might begin to think about someone who was kind,considerate,friendly,warm,and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist,found nearly 18,000 English words characteringdifferences in people"s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms,conservatives,military types-people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero" s role. In fact,the words"person"and"personality come from the Latin persona,meaning"mask" . Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tellthe "good guys" from the "bad guys"because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

By using the simile(直喻）of fingerprints,the author tells us that___A___

A .people differ from each other in facial features

B.people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints

C.people have different personalities

D.people can learn to recognize faces

2、According to this passage,some animals have the gift of___C____.

A.typing each other

B.telling people apart by how they behave

C.recognizing human faces

D.telling good people from bad people

3、Who most probably knows best hw to describe people" s personality?____A_____

A.Psychologists.

B.The modern TV audience.

C.The ancient Greek audience

D.The movie star.

4、 According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person form another because____B____

A.human faces have complex features

B.people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics

C.human fingerprints provide unique information

D.people" s behavior can be easily described in words

5、Which of the following is the major point of the passage?_D_____

A.How to get to know people.

B.Why it is necessary to identify people" s personality.

C.Hoe best to recognize people.

D.Why it is possible to describe people.
