22、The key to a successful garage sale is to get the word out. The best way of advertising your sale is to place an ad in the local newspaper. If you have a city and neighborhood paper, make sure you advertise in both. The ad should be large enough to stand out. It should also include information on where the sale is located with directions, the “hot" items you're selling and the time when the sale will start and end. An ad should be placed at least two days before the sale and run until the day of your event. That way people can plan their route to the sale in advance.

Signs must be another great way to inform your community. Post them where people gather, such as stores and community centers. Some businesses have a central bulletin board, which is the best place to advertise. Other places to post are at the local college or university campus. This is especially helpful if your sale is happening in August or early September when students have returned to school and are looking for cheap finds.

Post signs round your neighborhood. You should also place both ads and direction signs, especially if you're located on a side street without a major presence. Signs will attract and direct people. Just make sure your print is in bold letters and use large direction signs so that people can read the information from the front seat of their car.

【1】You should place an ad at least two days before the sale so that people can ________.

A．get enough cash for the sale

B．compare prices of the items

C．select the items they will buy

D．decide on their route beforehand

【2】Why should signs be posted in a community center?

A．Schools are nearby.

B．There are many stores.

【3】What advice is given for printing the signs according to the last paragraph?

A．Colored signs are preferred.

B．Bold letters should be used.

23、If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使..... 萎缩)the brain? research suggests.

A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains."

Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.

The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.

Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of London―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.

Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99， and found 20% had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.

Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.

【1】The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "________ ，"

A．on one's own

B．at no time

C．at the same time

D．by accident

【2】All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT________ .

A．saving time

B．a shortened attention span

C．lower grades at school

D．depression and anxiety

【3】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A．Media multitasking is becoming more popular

B．Multitasking shrinks the brain

C．Multitasking may shorten attention span

D．People are worried about their memories.

24、More than a score of Australian rare mammals have been killed by wild cats. These predators, which arrived with European settlers, still threaten native wildlife — and are too plentiful on the mainland to eliminate, as has been achieved on some small islands which were previously filled with them. But Alexandra Ross of the University of New South Wales thinks she has come up with a different way to deal with the problem. As she writes in a paper in the Journal of Applied Ecology, she is giving feline (猫科的) — awareness lessons to wild animals involved in re-introduction programs, in order to try to make them cat-conscious.

Many Australian mammals, though not actually extinct, are restricted to fragments of cat-free habitat. This will, however, put the forced migrants back in the sights of the cats that caused the problem in the first place. Training the migrants while they are in captivity, using stuffed models and the sorts of sounds made by cats, has proved expensive and ineffective. Ms Ross therefore wondered whether putting them in large natural enclosures with a scattering of predators might serve as a form of training camp to prepare them for introduction into their new, cat-ridden homes.

She tested this idea on a type of bandicoot (袋狸) that superficially resembles a rabbit. She and her colleagues raised two hundred bandicoots in a huge enclosure that also contained five wild cats. As a control, she raised a nearly identical population in a similar enclosure without the cats. She left the animals to get on with life for two years, which, given that bandicoots breed four times a year and live for around eight years, was a considerable period for them. After some predation (扑食) and probably some learning, she abstracted 21 bandicoots from each enclosure, attached radio transmitters to them and released them into a third enclosure that had ten hungry cats in it. She then monitored what happened next. The outcome was that the training worked. Over the subsequent 40 days, ten of the untrained animals were eaten by cats, but only four of the trained ones. One particular behavioral difference she noticed was that bandicoots brought up in a predator-free environment were much more likely to sleep alone than were those brought up around cats. And when cats are around, sleeping alone is dangerous. How well bandicoots that have undergone this extreme training will survive in the wild remains to be seen. But Ms Ross has at least provided reason for hope.

【1】What can be learned from the first paragraph?

A．The feline-awareness lessons have proved ineffective.

B．There are too many wild cats to be killed in Australia.

C．Different ways have been tried to hunt and kill wildlife.

D．Native wildlife has been threatened by a growing population of wild cats.

【2】The forced migrants in the second paragraph refer to ________.

A．Australian mammals restricted to certain areas

B．The wild cats tracking down the mammals

C．Wild animals involved in the program

D．The predators captured by the animal trainers

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about the first two enclosures?

A．They were both closely monitored.

B．They had 200 bandicoots in total.

C．They had similar natural environment.

D．They both had wild cats in them.

【4】What was the finding of Ms Ross’ research project?

A．Untrained bandicoots failed to identify cats.

B．Training bandicoots prepared them to fight cats.

C．Sleeping alone in the wild was dangerous.

D．Bandicoots could be trained to avoid predators.
