26、   Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp(猩猩) or a teenager?The teenager? Think again.Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.

Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed.Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world

Scientists say that there are different types of memory.There is short-term memory and long-term memory.Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes.For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items(物件)in a store.Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it's meaningful to you.(an example is data about family and friends).And then there is visual (视觉的) memory and sound memory.But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.

Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways.Some memorize better with the help of pictures.Others are helped more by sounds.One thing s for sure.If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time, listen to recordings of the same group of words.This may help when it comes to memorizing it.

Imagination and association can be useful, too.By imagination, scientists mean to picture a word in your mind.Association means relating the word to something you have already known.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we can know_________.

A.human beings are less clever than chimps

B.human memory is not as good as before

C.chimps can memorize numbers better than teenagers

D.chimps perform better than human beings in many aspects

A.an hour B.half an hour C.a few minutes D.one second

【3】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Why a chimp does better than a teenager.

B.How to memorize things quickly and well.

C.Different kinds of memory and several good ways to memorize things.

D.Imagination and association are useful in memorizing things.

27、   You’re rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.

“There is an inclination(倾向) to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “ The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help.”

Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of others. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behavior continue to struggle with the question, “Why?”

One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation is, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say you see vapors(水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?” If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to react. If you see other people doing nothing, you think, “Of course, that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.

Another one is known as “ the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are observing an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!

“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,” says Ervin Staub. Then try to involve other people; you don’t have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do something.” Once you take action, most people will follow you and also offer help.

【1】Ervin Staub probably agrees that _____.

A. the bystanders force them to solve the troubles

B. people’s first thoughts usually prevent them from helping

C. the researchers often lead to the embarrassment

D. the person next to you often asks you to deal with emergency

【2】The word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.

A. difficult B. dangerous C. unclear D. unpleasant

【3】The writer uses “ the bystander effect” to show that _____.

A. people usually think others a lot before the difficulties

B. people like to carry out the responsibility in emergency

C. people often share their ideas when they’re in dangerous situations

D. people are likely to behave in the same way as most other people do

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Is it important to offer help?

B. Is it difficult to get involved?

C. To stand there or take actions?

D. To change the decision or stick it?

28、Frank was a teenager living with his father. He had so many family rules that 【1】couldn’t stand, so he left home. Because he couldn’t find a job, he had to make a 【2】 by begging.

Years later, his father was old, but he was still 【3】for his son. He had been to every corner of the city. 【4】he went, he put up a big photo of himself and Frank on the wall. At the lower part of the photo, he 【5】, “I still love you, my dearest son. Please come back home!”

One day, Frank saw one of the photos. The faces on the photo were familiar to him. “Is that my father?” He thought 【6】 a while and decided to go back to see his father.

It was an early morning 【7】he got home. The door was not locked. He rushed to his father’s bedroom. “It’s me! Your son is back home!” The father and the son held each other, full of 【8】 tears in their eyes. The son asked, “Why is 【9】 door unlocked? A thief could get in.” The father answered in a soft 【10】, “Because I’m expecting your return. In fact, the door has never been locked since you left.”
