【題目】閱讀理解
For teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.
◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.
◆Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野識途比賽) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, it's not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.
（1）When you sit beside the driver, you'd better ________.
A.look ahead to see where there is a gas station
B.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
C.keep looking at the map to find another place to go to
D.direct the driver when necessary
（2）In the exploration, why do you need wait for the slower friends?
A.To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
B.To tell him/her what's going on with group members.
C.To avoid yourself or your friends getting lost.
D.To show them how fast you can go.
（3）What does the whole passage talk about?
A.The fun of exploration.
B.What to bring for exploration.
C.How to prevent people getting lost in exploration.
D.The way to use a map in exploration.

【題目】閱讀理解
Yellowstone National Park.文章內(nèi)容an easy day hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survival.
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表) are an exception（例外） to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學(xué)習(xí))for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
（1）What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A.People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D.Stories for children are easy to remember.
（2）The author tells the experience in childhood in order to __________.
A.remember the good old days
B.let readers follow the example
C.explain the law of overlearning
D.help readers understand the importance of knowledge
（3）According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is__________.
A.a step towards studies
B.a result of overlearning
C.a special case of cramming
D.a skill to deal with math problems
（4）What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A.It's helpful only in a limited way.
B.It causes failure in college exams.
C.It's possible to result in poor memory.
D.It increases students' learning interest.

My first thought was that he must need 4 with his homework or he was trying to 5 me for some news. Finally I asked. “What was that all about?”
“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should 6 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It's 7 .”
