I was playing at my cousin house. Since his family was rich than mine, he had more toys than I did. There was one on particular I’d always wanted. I put into my pocket when he wasn’t looking. I guessed, even at that age, I would never be able to enjoy to playing with the toy or faced my cousin again; I would always know I’d done something wrong. Late on, my aunt drove me home. When she dropped me off, I pulled out the toy slow and gave it back. She knows what had happened, but she thanked me and ever mentioned it again.

Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was complaining how difficult it was to study English. No surprises there. It is a difficult language to master, just like Chinese. I made a few suggestions based on my experience. One involved a very valuable fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher, Dr. Smith.He is a gifted linguist (語言學家),and has an amazing ability to remember things, like poetry, essays, speeches, etc.His advice to us students is that for memorization purposes, there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more acceptable than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes.

This 40-minute "super memory" period is divided into two parts: the 20 minutes before we sleep, and the 20 minutes after we first awake. The theory supporting this is pretty simple. First, the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than information gained during the noisy daytime; and second, our mind is free of disturbance(干擾) when we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs, like a blank slate(石板).

I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years. In my university days, our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day, on which we would be quizzed(測試)the following day. Without the "magic" 40-minute technique, there's no way I would have passed those daily quizzes.

As far as language study goes, it's not only useful for memorizing vocabulary. It's also a very useful window of time to listen to the language we're studying even with background noise, and even if it's at a level we find difficult to understand. It might be audio(聲音的)language study, aids, or just radio, TV or whatever.

Beyond our years of formal(正式的) education, memory skills are hugely important in any career. How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from a prepared text, or read the word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide(投影片)? These are annoying, boring, and less effective ways of communicating. They are almost guaranteed(保證) to lose the audience's close attention and interest, let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything. And yet lots of people still make this mistake.

If we use the 40-minute technique, we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation content on a 100% word-by-word basis, but we'll be familiar enough so that we can spend much more time making eye contact with our audience. We will get them in the process, while looking at our text instead of staring at it. This will also free up our hands and arms to convey some extra messages through gesture.

As you see, the technique really works, but like many things, it takes practice to perfect it. Therefore, we'd better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom, as regularly and frequently as possible. One basic rule of language learning is, "Use it, or lose it·”

Seize the forty-minute learning window and we'll bring in a rich harvest of language learning.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?

A. Dr. Smith is born with the great ability to memorize things.

B. It is surprising that English is as difficult to master as Chinese.

C. The author's high school Latin and Greek teacher has a positive influence on him.

D. The author made a few suggestions on learning English based on his teacher's experience.

A. it is less noisy in the forty minutes than in the daytime

B. we are always more peaceful when we awake in the morning

C. our brain is more active in the forty minutes than the other time

D. the last information gained before bed is more likely to remain

3.We can learn from the passage that the 40-minute technique

A. ensures that we understand the difficult language

B. helps a speaker in reading his speech from a prepared text

C. helps the author pass those daily quizzes in his university days

D. makes a speaker remember the presentation content completely

4.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. The Best Way to Learn English

B. The Importance of Memory Skills

Everyone can benefit from making an effort to practice gratitude(感激)every day. The following three steps can help you start feeling more grateful, and appreciative of the good things in your life:

Notice the Good Things in Your Life

1. Pay attention to the small everyday details of your life-nature, people, community, shelter, creature comforts like a warm bed or a good meal. And then start a gratitude journal. Making a commitment to writing down good things each day makes it more likely that we will notice good things as they happen.

Enjoy the Feeling of Gratitude

There are moments when you naturally, right then and there, feel filled with gratitude. These are moments when you say to yourself, "Oh, wow, this is amazing! "or "How great is this!"Pause. 2. Let it sink in . Enjoy your blessings in the moment they happen.

Express Gratitude

Expressing gratitude is more than being polite. 3. Show your appreciation to someone who really did something nice. Say: "It was really kind of you to…,” "You did me a big favor when...," or "Thank you for being there when...". 4. Hold the door open for the person behind you, even if it means waiting a little longer than you normally would.

True gratitude doesn't leave you feeling like you owe other people something-after all, if you've done someone a favor, you probably don't want the person to feel like you expect something back in return. 5.

A. It's about showing your heartfelt appreciation.

B. Notice and absorb that feeling of true gratitude.

C. You can also express gratitude by doing a kindness.

D. It's all about feeling good and creating a cycle of good.

E. Start to notice and identify the things you are grateful for.

F. Help someone without letting the person find out it was you.

G. It's amazing what you notice when you focus on feeling grateful.

Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. I’m a unique creature.

Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make. Instead will I place my uniqueness on display in the market place. I will begin now to highlight my differences; hide my similarities.

I am rare, and therefore I am valuable. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men before me.

But my skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will weaken, rot, and die for fear that I put them to good use. I have unlimited potential. Only a tiny part of my brain do I employ; only a small amount of my muscle do I apply.

So never again will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I lose myself, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will. I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth(從今往后) will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell. I will practice, and improve, and polish the words I speak to multiply my sales, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career. Also will I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life that all my problems, discouragements, and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise. I am nature’s greatest miracle. And nature knows not defeat. Eventually, she achieves victory and so will I, and with each victory the next struggle becomes less difficult.

1.It can be inferred from the text that the author is most probably a(n) _________.

A. salesman B. soldier C. robot D. athlete

2.Which of the following can best describe the author’s character?

A. Intelligent, calm and content.

B. Ambitious, confident and optimistic.

C. Independent, cold and aggressive.

D. Confident, modest and realistic.

3.According to the text, which of the following is fundamental to the author’s career building?

A. Knowledge of mankind.

B. Prediction of the market.

C. Speaking skills.

D. Sense of victory.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Great opportunities in disguise

B. The power of being different

C. The great secret of life

D. Nature’s greatest miracle

Have you dreamed of building your own machine? Do you wish you could invent something new? Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times.

Adaptable Glasses

Do you wear glasses? If so, can you imagine life without them? In 1985, Joshua Silver, a professor at Oxford University, asked himself, “Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer?” He designed two plastic lenses(透鏡) that are filled with a special liquid. The liquid can be changed between the lenses until you can see clearly. The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.

The Wind-up Radio

When you switch your TV on tonight, think about all those people without electricity. Thinking about this, Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand. In common with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use. The radio has a generator (發(fā)電機) which is powered by turning a handle. In 1996 it won a BBC Design Award for Best Protect and Best Design.

The Dyson Cleaner

In many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship. This is the Dyson vacuum (真空) cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic separation” to separate the dirt. You do not need a bag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical. The idea came to Sir James Dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner. He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory. The Dyson is now one of the best-selling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.

The Zapata Fly-board

Ever dreamed of rising through the water and jumping high in the air like a dolphin? Now you can try a fly-board, built by water sports fan Frank Zapata. With it you can dive back in the water and out again. It’s possible to jump to unbelievable heights out of the water—over 30 feet. The basic fly-board model comes in at £4,200.

So keep dreaming and inventing. One day you might get it right.

1.Who invented Adaptable Glasses?

A. Joshua Silver. B. Trevor Baylis.

C. James Dyson. D. Frank Zapata.

2.Which invention won an award?

A. Adaptable Glasses. B. The Wind-up Radio.

C. The Dyson Cleaner. D. The Zapata Fly-board.

3.Who might be interested in the invention of the Dyson cleaner?

A. Those who need radios.

B. Those who have eye problems.

C. Those who are fond of diving.

D. Those who want to use cleaners more easily.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Kind Inventors. B. Cheap Inventions.

C. Creative Minds. D. Future Dreams.
