1 "I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you
need to know at school,"promised lecturer Ian Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He
slapped his hand down on the table."When I've finished in two hours' time,your work will
be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now."The entire room
sat still.
2 Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician（魔术师）.He specializes in doing magic tricks
that look totally impossible,and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious
than good old-fashioned trickery（骗术）."I have always been interested in tricks involving
memory-being able to reel off（一口气说出）the order of cards in a pack, that sort of thing,"
he explains.
3 Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him
that students might find memory techniques even more valuable."It wasn't a difficult area to
move into,as the stuff's all there in books."So he summarized everything to make a two-
hour lecture about five techniques.
4 "You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A.thousand?No problem,"says
Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of
their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant."I wish
I'd been told this earlier,"commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to
construct"mental journeys".
5 Essentially , you visualize（想象）a walk down a street, or a trip round a room,and pick
the points where you will put the things you want to remember一the lamppost,the fruit bowl.
Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list一phrasal verbs,historical
dates,whatever一making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works.
6 The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic."The pupils benefited
enormously from Ian's presentation,"says Dr. Johnston,head of the school where
Robinson was speaking. "Ideally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so
pupils can pick it up gradually."

Is there anything else I can help you with? () A、Someday I'd like to visit Beijing.B、No. You’ve been a big help.C、I am glad to meet you.D、Are you a student?
When I was in high school,most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped Icould also have it. One day I saw a second-hand bicycle, that was onlyone hundred yuan. I asded my father the money. But he said he couldonly give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. SoI went to sell newspapers after the school. My father was pleasedif I showed him the money a month after. He gives me the otherfifty. You can imagine how much happy I was when I rode to school onmy own bicycle.
– May I give you a hand? – ( ). A、Yes, I'd love toB、Thank you. You are so kindC、Yes, give meD、I'm not sure
DMy father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to male it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in mybeart. One it aways times out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, thongn. I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear－as mine was until my father’s letter－is of being a disappointment.Give your chikdren permission to succeed. They’re witing for you to believe in them. I always knew way parents loved me. But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.68.We learn from the text that the author .A.lost his father when he was youngB.worked hard before he read his father’s letterC.asked his father permission to believe in himselfD.knew execty at thing his father wanted him to do
听力原文：W: Hi, Sam, I hate to bother you but I wonder if I could have a word with you?M: Sounds so serious. What's up?W: Well, the landlord just informed me that he's going to increase our rent by two hundred. I'm wondering how you feel about it.M: How do I feel about it? No way! In our tenancy agreement, it says he will have to give us a notice three months in advance if he wants to increase the rent.W: Yeah, that's right! It's gotta be three months later. Well, I think he realizes his rental fee is below the market rate and he must be feeling a bit ripped off when he could be charging a couple hundred extra. What do you think Sam? Should we agree to the raise or find somewhere else?M: Good question. I'm not sure either. The location we're at now is quite convenient. Close to the grocery and near the subway. It'll be hard to find another location like this one.W: I wonder whether he'll allow room for negotiation. Perhaps a hundred dollars instead of two. Maybe he might be more willing to give a bit if we speak to him right way.M: Well, he seems to be a nice guy to talk to. But what if he refuses? Would you go for two then?W: Well, I guess I would, since it'll be hard to find such a convenient location. Besides, it's close to my school and I can sleep a little later in the mornings.M: Ha! I figured that's what you'd be concerned about. Well, I have to give it some serious thought. I'm not sure I can afford to cough up an extra hundred a month just to make sure I can sleep in an extra 15 minutes.W: Didn't you get your loan recently? That'll cover what you need. Besides, if you could just stop spending so much on cafeteria snacks you'd have lots of money to spare.M: Yeah, but I'm thinking of getting a new laptop.W: Well, I tell you, there aren't a lot of apartments that are cheaper, even with this new increase.M: I know, so when does he want us to come back on this?W: He told me to let him know this weekend.M: Sure, by then I should be able to make up my mind.(20)A．Where they should move.B．How to negotiate with the landlord.C．How to fight the increase.D．Whether to accept an increase in rent or move.

问答题Look at the topic headings below, marked A, B, C, D E, and F, and match them with the paragraphs in the text below. There is one extra heading which you don’t need to use. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage. A.Gaining attention B.Making sense of information C.Trade secrets D.Academic approval E.A change of focus F.An ancient skill 1 ______ The Greek philosophers knew about it and it could still dramatically improve children’s school results today, except that no one teaches it. It is a very old technique for making your memory better. Try memorizing this series of random numbers: 3, 6, 5, 5, 2, 1, 2, 4. About as meaningful as dates in history, aren’t they? It is likely that you won’t remember them in five minutes, let alone in five hours. However, had you been at a lecture given at a school in the south of England last month, you would now be able to fix them in your head for five days, five weeks, in fact for ever. 2______ “I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,” promised lecturer Ian Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren. “When I’ve finished in two hours’ time, your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not interested, leave now.” The entire room sat still, glued to their seats. 3______ Robinson specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he shows that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery. “I have always been interested in tricks involving memory,” he explains. 4 ______ What Robinson’s schoolchildren get are methods that will be familiar to anyone who has dipped into any one of a dozen books on memory. The difference is that Robinson’s approach is aimed at schoolchildren. The basic idea is to take material that is random and meaningless and give them a structure. That series of numbers at the beginning of the article fits in here. Once you think of it as the number of days in the year—365—and the number of weeks—52—and so on, it suddenly becomes permanently memorable. 5 ______ The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic. “The pupils benefited a lot from Ian’s talk,” says Dr Johnston, head of the school where Robinson was speaking. “Ideally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually.”
问答题Practice 9 Do you remember how Forrest Gump was preparing for the biggest ping pong match of his life to be played in China? Well, he came, he played, and he kicked butt. I am pretty sure “Lose Face” were the words of the day. The Forrest Gump pipedream visits me every now and then. I have always fantasized about standing atop the gold-medal podium for the Red, White and Blue; victory paddle in one hand, 24-karats around my neck, Chinese opponents on both sides, with Old Glory rising and the Star-Spangled Banner playing. Ok, wake me up. Who am I kidding? The Chinese will lose their number one spot on the ping pong podium when Hainan Island freezes over. And that's why I started playing the glorious game of ma jiang. If you can't beat 'em at ping pong, ma jiang must be the second best thing, right? Now, I am not talking about mahjong, the matching tile game you play on the computer to kill time; I am talking about bona fide, cutthroat Chinese majiang. I feel the most "Chinese" when I am sitting at the ma jiang table raking in the dough. And most of the time, in terms of making money, Chairman Mao's face is my friend, but hot streaks easily give way to cold ones. Indeed, most of ma jiang is a game of luck; I would say 70% luck and 30% skill. Unlike poker, in ma jiang, reading your opponents tends to be almost impossible, so tense stare downs are rarely seen. Perhaps, I am the only Westerner in this city who plays ma jiang competitively. I guess you could call me the Da Shan of ma jiang, and that's part of the thrill for me. The other part of it is being just as skilled as my Chinese opponents, who started playing ma jiang when I was just a little kid, swinging the Little League bat back stateside. Truly, when I started playing ma jiang, I didn't know what I was gonna get; I didn't realize back then, that today, I would love it so much. I am a competitive person, so I guess ma jiang and me turned out to be-well-you know, like those two compatible veggies. In the end, if ma jiang one day becomes an Olympic event, you know what's going down. (390 words)
