A
When enjoying children’s birthdays or a long-expected family holiday, you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph. But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event，beware—you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.
Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.
Maryanne Garry, aNew Zealandpsychology professor, has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories. “I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,” she says. Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children, for example, are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them. The picture only captures a small part of the total experience. And because parents remember less about these important events, they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences. As a result, children’s own childhood memories are reduced.
The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking. She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.
Henkel, who researches human memory atFairfieldUniversityinConnecticut, did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum. The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then，back at the laboratory, they were given a memory test. Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”. The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of, and they remembered fewer details about those objects. She says her students’ memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.
“As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera, it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory. ”she says.
21. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A child’s birthday. B. An important event.
C. A valuable photograph. D. A family holiday.
22. How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”?
A. By carrying out an experiment.
B. By giving a questionnaire.
C. By interviewing a group of students.
D. By researching the findings of the others.
23. According to Paragraph 3, why are children’s memories reduced?
A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.
B. Parents are not interested in listening to children’s experiences.
C. Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing.
D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.
24. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.
B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.
C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.
D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.
B
Do you hear that birds of a feather flock together? It certainly appears that they do. We are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to ourselves. Poor people like to surround themselves with other poor people, and rich people with other rich people. Intelligent people associate with like-minded people, and artists typically seek out other artists.
It appears that we all have comfort zones we attempt to stay within. Very stressed and poor people don’t feel comfortable associating with rich people. We owe it to each other to be successful because success breeds more success. And if we are not feeling successful, looking at who we have as friends and associates can tell us and others a lot about ourselves and why. The longer we associate with a group of individuals, the more our thinking processes become like theirs.
A few years ago, a doctor friend of mine began associating with a new group of people. At the time, he had a successful practice and a positive and grateful attitude to life. However, within the first six months of his association with these individuals, his attitude and goals changed, he was angry at how things were and was dissatisfied with those who’d become his opposition. He became very stubborn. As a result his practice dropped in quality of service. His facial expressions often showed anger and stress.
After about two years of association with this group, he learned some valuable lessons. He realized that always focusing on problems or being dissatisfied with others doesn’t lead to a rewarding life, nor does it solve as many problems as it creates. He decided that he’d rather get back into serving his patients.
This doctor put his heart and soul into his practice, and his life changed again. He began to attract people who focused on solutions instead of problems. His success was now more obvious than his stress -- his achievement more obvious than his frustration.
Whom we hang out with does make a difference. The old saying “If you want to soar (翱翔) with the eagles, don’t flock with the turkeys.” has a point.
25. What does the underlined part “birds of a feather flock together” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Birds like to take a risk to fly high in the sky.
B. Birds are more likely to fly together than other creatures.
C. People are more likely to have different attitudes to life.
D. People of the same kind are found together.
26. We can infer from the passage that the individuals the doctor hung out with were ________.
A. stressed B. successful C. patient D. rich
27. The author uses the old saying in the last paragraph to ________.
A. show his great literary talent B. make his article more persuasive
C. raise another similar question D. suggest the end of his article
28. The author uses the doctor’s example to prove that ________.
A. bad luck never comes alone
B. success breeds more success
C. someone has no control over his own life
D. people are likely to become like those who they associate with
C
World leaders arrived at the G20 summit(峰会)in Australia this weekend to help resolve serious global crises(危机)---but they stayed for the koalas.
All heads of state at the summit, from the ‘leader of the free world’s President Obama to the ‘Iron Chancellor’ Angela Merkel, proved powerless against the lovely animals.
Even the usually stone---faced Valdimir Putin, was pictured cracking a smile while embracing (拥抱)a koala, who appeared to be trying to escape the Russian president’s iron grip.
President Obama was equally overjoyed to spend some quality time with a koala named ‘Jimbelung’. But Obama’s new furry friend did not seem very much impressed with theUScommander-in-chief, and instead focused his attention on the koala in the arms ofAustralia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
At one point, the two furry creatures even exchanged a kiss, to the obvious delight of Obama and Abbott.
Meanwhile the ladies of the G20 were also treated to the unique Australian experience and were led by Mr. Abbott’s wife, Margie, throughBrisbane’s Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary(保护区) on Saturday.
The G20 leaders’ wives also got chances to hug some koalas and feed some Kangaroos. Chinese President Xi Jinping’s wife Peng Liyuan and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s wife Laureen were among the first ladies who laughed nervously as a couple of large kangaroos walked slowly up to help themselves to the offered food.
But the “Koala diplomacy(外交)” could only carry the western leaders so far.
29. What does the underlined part “Obama’s new furry friend” inPara4. most probably mean?
A. Angela Merkel B. Putin C. Tony Abbott D. Jimbelung
30. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A. The purpose of the G20 summit is to solve serious global crises
B. Not all heads attending theSummitloved koalas
C. The G20 leaders’ wives didn’t love koalas at all
D. Putin loves smiling from time to time
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The G20Summit B. Leaders Gathered inAustralia
C. Koala Diplomacy D. Lovely Koala
D
Boredom(无聊)is such a large part of day-to-day existence. Perhaps because it’s common in our lives, scientists have been slow to explore it. John Eastwood is one of the first scholars to take an interest.
One of the most common false views is that “only boring people get bored”. Yet as Eastwood set about exploring the reasons for boredom, he found that there are two distinct types of personality that tend to suffer from the feeling of boredom, and neither are particularly dull themselves.
Boredom often goes among people who are constantly looking for new experiences. For these people, the steady path of life just isn’t enough to hold their attention. The second kind of bored people have almost exactly the opposite problem: the world is a fearful place, and so they try not to step outside their comfort zone. While this might offer some comfort, they are not always satisfied with the safety it offers-and boredom results.
Emotions should evolve(进化)for our benefit. “The very fact that boredom is a daily experience suggests it should be doing something useful,” says Heather Lench atTexasA$M University. Feelings like fear help us avoid danger, after all, while sadness might help prevent future mistakes. So, if true, what does boredom achieve?
Reviewing the evidence so far, Lench suspects that it lies behind one of our most important characters-curiosity. Boredom, she says, pushes us to try to seek new goals or explore new ideas which stimulate innovation(激发创新).
Eastwood is less enthusiastic about boredom’s benefits, but admits we should be cautious about looking for an immediate escape. “The feeling is so disgusting that people rush to remove it, he says.” I’m not going to join that war on boredom and come up with a cure, because we need to listen to the emotion and ask what it is trying to tell us to do.
32. What does John Eastwood’s study mainly focus on?
A. Why people get bored B. The benefits of boredom
C. How to deal with boredom D. The types of boredom
33. According to Lench, boredom___________.
A. would help us avoid mistakes B. cannot be cured for the moment
C. might be good for our creativity D. could make us get tired and lose focus
34. What’s Eastwood’ attitude towards finding a cure for boredom?
A. Curious B. Optimistic C. Objective D. Uninterested
35. What message can be concluded from the text?
A. Easier said than done B. Hard work never killed a man
C. Practice makes perfect D. Every coin has two sides

You’d think the human race would have understood sleeping very well by now, but many of us are still sleeping poorly. Part of the problem is that we have wrong information and beliefs about this important health need. Let’s set the facts straight. 36
1. More sleep is better for you.
There could be such a thing as too much sleep. The amount of sleep we need varies by person and also changes as we age. Harvard researchers found that a lot of sleep(9 hours or more) is linked with poor sleep quality. 37 Aim for better sleep
2. 38
Alcohol can help most people fall asleep. However, it also can cause you to wake up more during the night, decreasing your keep sleep quality. Consider drinking non-alcoholic drink before bed instead.
3. If you wake up in the middle of night, lie in bed until you eventually fall back asleep.
39 We all hope to quickly fall back asleep. So we tend to stay in bed hoping it’ll happen tat any minute now. If that doesn’t happen, though, within 15 minutes, most exporters recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without over stimulating(刺激)us. Try not to check the clock either.
4. You can catch up on sleep on weekends.
When we lose sleeping during the week, we accumulate a kind of sleep “debt”. 40 Not so fact. This might actually make you sleepier the next week. Instead of waking up later on the weekends, you’d better go to sleep earlier or perhaps take a nap in the afternoon.
A. Alcohol helps you sleep.
B. Here are some things you might been told about sleeping but aren’t completely true
C. Everyone should get 7-8 hours of sleep per night
D. So don’t aim for more sleep-even on the weekends
E. Waking up in the middle of the night is the annoyance, but it happens to all of us.
F. You’ll have a better day and perhaps sleep better at night
G. Can you pay that debt back by sleeping on Saturday or Sunday?

You were the one who 53 to surprise me every day, you’re the brave 54 who pulls me by the hand into the future.
So when you’re feeling 55 because I’m nursing your sister 56 playing dress-up, or because I might use 57 words with you, but not her, or because I can’t stop talking about how 58 she is, know that there is more than enough 59 for both of you.
