It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened,what did you do? Next time this happens again,what should you do?
You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意識的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim(模糊的)memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.
That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.

解析試題分析: 你有沒有遇到這種情況,一個熟悉的名字就在嘴邊然而卻叫不出來,而且越是使勁想就越想不出呢?在文中作者針對這種情況從科學(xué)角度進(jìn)行了分析,也提出了應(yīng)對方法,即 :想不起來時就不要刻意去想,要讓大腦有個準(zhǔn)備過程,然后你要想的東西自然就出現(xiàn)了。
【小題1】 fail 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章首句Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it?可知人們有時候就在嘴邊的名字卻叫不上來。所以填fail。
【小題2】 supposed 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章第二段You should not try to recall it.可知當(dāng)這種情況發(fā)生時,不應(yīng)該努力去想,所以填supposed。Be supposed to do意思是“應(yīng)該做某事”。
【小題3】 instead 信息查找題。從文中Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head可知此處填instead。
【小題4】Reason/Cause 信息歸納題。從文中Why? It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious activities that go to work to dig up a dimmemory.可以知道此處指出了原因。所以填Reason/Cause.
【小題5】 tight 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從第二段Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it. 可知強(qiáng)迫自己去想會讓大腦緊張。所以填tight。
【小題6】 help 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從文章第三段That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations.可知help為正確答案。
【小題7】 Meanwhile 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章第三段At the same time,可知此處是指“同時”所以填Meanwhile。
【小題8】happening 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從文章中deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place可以知道潛意識在進(jìn)行著,所以填happening。
【小題9】 Conclusion /Summary 信息歸納題。根據(jù)以上對這種情況的分析,此處作者做出總結(jié),所以填conclusion /Summary。
【小題10】 dug 信息查找題。根據(jù)文中第二段It, waiting there, only has to be dug out.可知填dug。

Online Friends and Love
In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world.   1  . Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love. Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.      2   . So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star. Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies and it makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?   3   . They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporter of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why?   4   . Internet users can carefully make their words fit whatever image they want to give. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace.   5   . With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”. This leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

A.When we talk with others on the line, we can express ourselves freely.
 
B.But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.
 
C.People ask for information, play games and share hobby tips.
 
D.Generally speaking, online friends and love are worth seeking for.
 
E.Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.
F.Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type— are what really count.
G.But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship.

Raising Confident Kids
Self-esteem(自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves. Having a healthy self-esteem can protect us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us. Research shows that children with high self-esteem grow up to be more confident adults. Self-esteem building should start from young.   【小題1】 
Praise actions
Young children need feedback. It’s how they measure their actions and it plays a role in learning from experience. Provide specific praise about actual actions performed and efforts made in the process.   【小題2】 .
Identify strengths
Preschoolers are always watching each other. On the bright side, they learn new things from each other. On the other side, they can become self-critical when they see a peer accomplishing something they still struggle to do. 【小題3】  Tell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons.
Foster(培養(yǎng)) a sense of belonging
Young children may not understand how peer pressure (同齡人的壓力) works, but they feel it when they’re being excluded(排除). Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas. As much as possible, save grown-up conversations for later so that you can have family conversations.   【小題4】 
 【小題5】 
As much as they need us, they also need to work on taking small steps towards independence. When they know they can do things, they feel more confident. Teach problem-solving skills. Step aside and let them work on challenges before jumping in to help. Help by asking, “ How can we do this in a different way? Let’s come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem-solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.
Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem can be a lifelong process, but the sooner you start, the more confident your children will become.

A.Encourage Independence
B.Spend quality time with children
C.Try to address their concerns as they arise, no matter how minor.
D.If praise is only attached to success, kids will focus on “ winning”.
E. Be sure to point out your children’s strengths regularly and be specific.
F. Below are some tips to help you promote your children’s self-esteem.
G. Each parent has the responsibility to help children to become confident.

第二節(jié):下面文章中有5個段落需要添加首句。請從以下選項(A. B. C. D. E和 F)中選出適合各段落的首句。選項中有一項是多余選項。
A. People will accept defeat easily.
B. Good sportsmanship (運動員精神) brings success.
C. Good sportsmanship brings happiness.
D. People can learn how to manage upsets.
E. Good sportsmanship reminds you of rules.
F. Good sportsmanship makes one responsible.
Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect for others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? The stronger argument, however, favors teaching good sportsmanship. Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.
【小題1】________ Having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are important to success in school. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense. Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. Good sportsmanship is not a given; it must be promoted in school. Young people must be directed to role models who practice sportsmanship.
【小題2】________ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Many arguments on the playing field could be avoided if athletes understood their responsibilities. This also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the instructions. Additionally, knowledge provides a competitive advantage. Those who understand the rules are much more likely to succeed. In school, for example, success is definitely stressed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how the rules related to achievement.
【小題3】_______ Using good sportsmanship helps people stay focused and in control. Almost everyone has overheard a heated argument between a player and a referee(裁判). Good players do not argue with other players, coaches, or officials. They deal with upsets calmly; consequently, they stay in control of their game. Good players focus on achieving. Uncontrolled anger can actually cause a person to make errors. This result is especially embarrassing. Additionally, people can be labeled if they act out their upsets. A good sport is known for his or her positive conduct. Teaching students the consequences of their actions is part of sportsmanship.
【小題4】_______ Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team. The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. Good sportsmanship, however, means “owning up” to mistakes as well. Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. Imagine a team of players all acting in their own self-interest--- the opposite of what a team really should be. Students who participate in a team, whether a math small-group project or the school band, benefit by learning to accept responsibility and encourage others.
【小題5】_______ Sportsmanship allows people to enjoy victory to the fullest. If people win, but their accomplishments are based on cheating or other immoral behavior, are they really winners? Good players follow the rules. They feel proud even in defeat because their game is based on honesty and respect. Winners congratulate their opponents(對手) as part of recognizing the efforts of others. This friendly behavior spreads goodwill from their team to other teams. Players who show respect for fans, coaches, and other players receive respect in return. They are recognized as leaders. In learning sportsmanship, students explore role models of positive behavior. They learn what it takes to be a leader; they also learn to win and lose with grace(風(fēng)度).

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age(變老), we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.   【小題1】  Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1.   【小題2】 
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性癡呆癥), according to a recent study.   【小題3】  Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.   【小題4】 
3. Learn something new
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.   【小題5】  Or go dancing with your friends.

A.Focus on the future.
B.This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C.It should be something like learning gardening.
D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

根據(jù)對話情景和內(nèi)容,從對話后的選項中選出能入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”That sounds British.   【小題1】  
College, university: what’s the difference?   【小題2】 . Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger.   【小題3】 
Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.
Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.  【小題4】 . In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.   【小題5】 . For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.
Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.
A. A college can also be a part of a university.
B. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.
C. They offer more programs and do more research.
D. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.
E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.
F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college.”
G. Colleges and universities have many things in common.
