A
A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures
perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑). 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed
and legibility(清晰度).But
the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the
concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that
aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes
"mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the professors said
In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and
paper .They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual
note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk , they were examined on their
ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as
those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering
and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to
memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial, if
the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a lapt进步网op, the
benefit disappears."
In another experiment aimed at testing
long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after
the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed
significantly better on the exam. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
These two experiments suggest that
handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,
but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
21. More and more students favor laptops
for note-taking because they can .
A. write more notes
B. digest concepts better
C. get higher scores
D. understand lectures better
22. While taking notes, laptop users
tend to be .
A. skillful
B. mindless来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
C. thoughtful
D. tireless
23. The author of the passage aims
to .
A. examine the importance of long-term
memory
B. stress the benefit of taking notes by
hand进步网

(Q = Question; A = Answer) 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Situation I
Q: If someone sits right next to me in
an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?
A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for
it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may
miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs
enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.
Situation II
Q: If I use the bathroom at a store, do
I need to buy something?
A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is
this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it
would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this
place, then you are a customer, and you
should act like one.
Situation III
Q: If someone is talking loudly on the
bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?
A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him
until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence
motion(动作)and
smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.
Situation IN来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Q: If I remember my friend's birthday a
day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing
happened?
A: This is the reason why the word
belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for:
"Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy
birthday."
Situation V
Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because
I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?
A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not
mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth
will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it."
No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.
25.You will get annoyed in a theater when .
A. a person is too active
B. a person is too rude to you来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

B. Different ways to change others' manners.
C. Proper manners to offer help to others.
D. Good manners to talk to people.

Would it surprise you to learn that,
like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the
next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees
are much more complex than most of us
ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin
thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just
how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their
co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on
who needs it".
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌)
networks, making sure that all trees in
the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep
them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is
destroyed, it affects all.
Simard talks about "mother
trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees
depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,
transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.
When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly
complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are
reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
"We didn't take any notice of
it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young
trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across
the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards
our environmental protection efforts for the future. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
29. The underlined sentence "the
opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees .
进步网
A. compete for survival
B. protect their own wealth
C. depend on each other
D. provide support for dying trees
30. "Mother trees" are
extremely important because they .
A. look the largest in size in the
forest
B. pass on nutrition to young trees
C. seem more likely to be cut down by
humans来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
D. know more about the complex
"tree societies"
31. The underlined word "it"
in the last paragraph refers to .
A. how "tree societies" work
B. how trees grow old
C. how forestry industry develops
D. how young trees survive
32. What would be the best title for the
passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C. Trees Are More Awesome Than You Think
D. Trees Contribute To Our Society来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

Travis is the manager of G&G where
he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits (利润) of over $2 million per
year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of
his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her
away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her.
"Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as
you want to be."
Travis picked up that lecture in one of
his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day
and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis
says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how
to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him
willpower. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
At the center of that education is an
extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that
willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success. 进步网
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit.
"Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working
hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one
of the University of Pennsylvania
researchers said. "Their willpower
occurs without them having to think about it."
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to
train
employees on self-control. Managers
wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in
workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy
company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits
of more than $10 billion a year. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
33. We loam from Paragraph 2 that
employees in G&G must .
A. learn to give lectures
B. attend education programs
C. design a working uniform
D. develop a common hobby
34. Willpower will become a habit when
employees can .
A. focus on the profits
B. benefit from the job
C. protect themselves well
D. control their feeling well来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A. G&G has grown into a large
company.
B. G&G will spend half its profits
training employees.
C. G&G may become more successful in
the future.
D. G&G has to produce more workbooks
for managers.

Eyesight plays a very important role in
our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world
around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but
it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are
five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight: 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
· Schedule yearly exams. 36
Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the
doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can
have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.
· Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk
to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear
sunglasses.
37
Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day
using computers or other digital products.
38 Experts recommend that
people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and
look at something 20 feet away.
·
39 As part of a healthy diet,
eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and
promote eye health.
·
Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to
improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing
contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at
risk. 40 Otherwise, you may have problems such as
red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.
A. Eat your greens.
B. Eye care should begin early in life.
C. They can properly protect your eyes. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
D. Stay in good shape by taking more
vitamins.
E. Parents usually don’t care about
their own eyesight.
F. Always follow the doctor’s advice for
appropriate wear.
G. This frequent eye activity increases
the risk for eye tiredness.

something that bothers to us. In a word,
your dog—Cleo.
We've called several time about Cleo's
early morning barking. It is difficult to

have been disturbing us as we are often
up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to
bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before
