If a friend complains that his arms are weak,we know that it is his own fault.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,many of us think that his parents are to be blamed,or that he is just unlucky,and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault.Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can,if we have ordinary bodies and brains,improve our strength and our memory by the same means——practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course,because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember dates,times and prices,names,songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage
Among all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.
There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.
All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree.
These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.
There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.
Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.
11. What does the first paragraph tell us?
[A] The ape looks like human beings most.
[B] People and the ape think alike.
[C] People and the ape behave alike.
[D] The ape is the most intellectual animal in the world.
12. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
[A] All apes are brown or black.
[B] All parts of apes' bodies are covered with hair.
[C] Apes have weak legs but very strong arms.
[D] Apes' arms are strong enough to swim.
13. Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there for more than a night or two because ________.
[A] They like to live in small family groups
[B] They like to move from place to place in search of more food
[C] They like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insects
[D] it rains too often in the deep forests
14. Among the three kinds of apes, ________.
[A] the gorilla is the biggest
[B] the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutan
[C] the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbon

[A] chimpanzees can do better than human children
[B] chimpanzees can do many things that human children cannot do
[C] human children can do many things that chimpanzees cannot do
[D] the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human children
Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

A.For many people, having to overcome some level of difficulty in their work is much preferable to the boredom of an easy, unchallenging job
B.they are often rejected for being different in some way, and that just makes them work harder
C.an entrepreneur doesn’t think anything is insurmountable. He looks adversity in the eye and keeps going
D.the challenges of a particular job are likely to be intrinsic to the role, but an employer should ensure that all staff know how to access training and support when faced with the more difficult tasks
First, let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.
This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the "meeting" influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer "see you there at 8", but "text-me around 8 and we'll see where we all are".
Texting changes people as well. In their paper, "Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the "talkers" and the "texters"--those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.
They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the "speakeasy": the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the "spacemaker': these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
When people plan to meet nowadays, they ______.
A.arrange the meeting place beforehand
B.postpone fixing the place till last minute
C.seldom care about when and where to meet
D.still love to work out detailed meeting plans
.______ from 2.5 billion in 1950 to over 7 billion.Food became a big problem as we were not able to feed everyone.Now the world’s population is 2.______ to continue growing and may 3.______ 11 billion by 2100.So in a world 4.______ nearly 1 billion people already do not have enough food, can we really feed another 6 billion? Population growth is not the only reason for food shortages.Our diet is also to 5.______ for it.Nowadays, with increasing numbers of people living in cities, we tend to eat more meat.To produce meat we have to use a lot more land and water to grow the food for the animals.And we also need more energy to process the meat.As a result, we are using more land and resources to actually produce less food.We could feed the growing population easily if everyone became a 6.______.But who would make this change? Would you give up meat to feed others? Innovative solutions to this problem are being used and researched around the world.One idea being tried is 7.______ farming, which is to build farms in very tall buildings in the centre of cities.Such farms require less space.They also reduce the distance the food needs to travel to 8.______ most people.Another 9.______ idea is the “seeds in space” project organised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Actually, our senses and memories are more connected than we think.Researchers have discovered 10.______typically, a strong connection between smells, emotions and life experiences is 11.______before age 5.This is 12.______ true for smells that we don’t smell every day.But even in 13.______, links are made between smells and memories.You might make a connection between a 14.______ and a friend or lover, or the smell of a certain food may take you back to the first time you ate it.The reason time 15.______ to go more quickly as we get older is that we repeat the same 16.______ and experience the same events over and over.Doing things for the first time usually leaves a strong memory.Remember your first day of school or a new job? But as we repeat those 17.______, strong memories aren’t created, and time goes quickly.You heard a song on your way to campus, and you found it hard to get rid of it for the rest of the day.Songs that 18.______ in your head all day are known as “earworms”.It was found in one study that nearly 92% of people have such an experience once a week or more.Earworms are started by many different kinds of things, such as going back to the same place 19.______ you first heard a song.People also often listen to sad music when they are in a sad 20.______, and stressful situations often remind them of that song.
Knowing what you value most is only the first step.Sometimes in reality, we cannot find a job that satisfies all our needs or is perfect in every way.If we have too much of one thing and not enough of another, we are unlikely to be satisfied.Finding a balance between the factors and deciding what to give up is even more important.
