1.It's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds.It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been,and they don't recognize you or any of their friends---every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them.A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think.In fact,certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12days ago.
In the study,researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12days before putting them back in the tank again.
Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish's movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact,scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory.An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish,perhaps
because they remembered their past"fights".But until the latest findings,there was no clear
evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier,it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.
"If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food,they will be able to go
back to that area without putting their lives at risks,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.

For a long time,fish were placed far below chimpanzees,dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.

33.What is the article mainly about?B
A.Fish having very bad memories.
B.Fish being smarter than we thought.
C.How fish improve their memory.
D.What we can learn from fish.
34.According to the article,people used to believe thatD.
A.fish could only remember part of their past experiences
B.fish could remember things that happened 12days ago
C.a(chǎn) fish's memory lasted for only seven minutes
D.fish didn't recognize any of their friends
35.How can fish benefit most from a good memory?They can rememberA.
A.where to get food and survive
B.their enemies and fight
C.where to escape to when in danger
D.their friends and help each other.

11.Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It's important to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make-it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.
The time of life may be hard,but you're not alone.You may be busy studying,but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don't let your friendships die.
It's as important to live well as it is to study well.Going to bed no later than 11:30 pm is vital.It puts you in the right mood for the next day.You needn't follow a special diet,but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day.
The person who plays well,studies well.Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities.Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself.Time_out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.
Besides taking the big exam,you have other choices for college.I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad.Pay attention to any relevant information you can find,whether it's from school,the news media or other sources.
