題目列表(包括答案和解析)
Around two weeks ago, I was invited to be a judge(裁判) at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic written on it. The first one to speak looked a little 11 . “My dear friends and judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair 12 ! I have been given the paper,” he continued, “to speak on the topic with just a few minutes’ preparation, 13 those who come after me have more time to 14 their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall.
I met him later by chance. “Who said life is 15 ?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to walk with me to my car. “Have you seen the figures(數(shù)字) they show when a new car is 16 into the market, saying how good it is?”
“Yes,” he nodded.
“But they put a 17 after all these figures. They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!”
“Yes,” he said again.
“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one 18 will provide power and speed on the 19 roads. That car is the winner.”
We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “ 20 the unfair and come out a winner!”
I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.

The secret in re-remembering is to allow the full power of your memory to flow freely without “trying” to remember any one specific (特定的) thing.
I recently sat down to a relaxed and enjoyable dinner with some friends. At the beginning of the meal, a friend told us that his car had just been broken into and his briefcase (公文包) had been stolen. He was frustrated (懊惱的) because his diary and a number of other items (物品) important to him were in the briefcase. He said he could remember only four items that were in his stolen briefcase, that he knew there were many more, that he had to give a full report to the police within two hours, and that the more he tried to remember the more blocked he became.
Several of us at the table who were familiar with Memory Principles (規(guī)則) then took him through the following exercise: instead of continuing to allow him to think of what he could not remember, we asked him when he had last had his briefcase open. It turned out that it was at the office just before he left work, at which point he suddenly remembered that he had put two important magazine articles in the briefcase. We then asked him when he had last had the briefcase open before leaving home for work. It turned out to have been the night before, and he remembered having put in two more articles as well as a tape recorder, in preparation for the following morning. Finally we asked him to describe the inner (內(nèi)部的) design of his briefcase, and as he went through a detailed description, he remembered pens, pencils, letters and a number of other items that he had completely “forgotten” before.
Within 20 minutes, he remembered 18 additional items.
The secret is to “forget about” whatever you are trying to remember and “relive” all experiences that connect in any way with the item you are trying to remember. This method works at once almost in all cases, and takes the form of a created Mind Map around the “missing” center.
This memory method, like the others, improves your memory as well as your creativity, and in addition gives you confidence when you realize that, no matter what you have forgotten, there is still a chance to solve any memory mystery (謎團)!
58. Which of the following shows how the man remembered the items according to the passage?
 |  |
A. B.
 |  |
C. D.
59. What does the underlined word “relive” mean in the passage?
A. go through again B. get out of
C. get used to again D. pay attention to
60. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Forgetting — You can never really forget
B. Drawing — The better way to remember things
C. Re-remembering — Remember what you have forgotten
D. Replacing — Forgetting something instead of remembering
