25、Answer the questions.

Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to demonstrate that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.

More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE - short for Advanced (Cognitive) Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most studied when they were more than 70 years old.

The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing - speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group - the control group did not get any training.

Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.

Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of-processing did better on tests than the control group.

"We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that's exactly what we found."

The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.

【1】Which statement is true according to the text？

A．This kind of training can only have effect on people for a few years。

B．The people were trained during a period of ten years.

C．All the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.

D．The second group were trained how to remember word lists.

【2】What can be inferred from the passage？

A．There were four groups being trained.

B．The old people trained can remember words better.

C．The second and third group improved their skills better than the first one.

D．The research showed that the effect of the training could absolutely last 10 years.

【3】What’s the main idea of the fourth paragragh?

A．What was the meaning of the research?

B．How was the research conducted?

C．Why was the mental training effective?

D．How long did the research last?

【4】What is the best title of the passage？

A．Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years

B．How to improve our mental health

26、   World Book Day has arrived! It is celebrated on April 23 in most countries, but in the UK, it is usually in March. This year, our school invited a writer to talk to us about her life as an author. 

The author’s name is Jo Cotterill. She is an English author who lives in Oxfordshire with her husband and daughters. She has won many awards for writing books for children and teenagers. 

In her speech, Cotterill told us a lot about her childhood, as well as her love for unicorns (独角兽), her previous job as an actress and, of course, her books.  She also showed us some of her award-winning books and described their plots (情节) for us. I was fascinated by her book A Library of Lemons. It is a story about a girl, Calypso, whose father stops believing in friendship and love after his wife dies. All he believes in are books – he teaches his daughter to close her heart and only love books as well. 

As you can see from the book’s title, Cotterill likes to play with words and invent new titles for her books. In fact, her writing career started with inventive (别出心裁的) titles. She said that sometimes she would read in bed on a Sunday and think about interesting titles for new books. She has another book called A Storm of Strawberries. Do you think this title is creative? I simply loved Cotterill’s talk. It inspired me to take up my pen again and keep writing.

27、Why are some people more successful than others? Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and achieve much more in the same number of years than most people?

Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for those achievements have been discussed for more than two thousand years in every way. But one thing that most experts agree on is self-discipline（自律）some years ago, I attended a meeting in New York. I happened to meet a gentleman. His name was Kopmcyer. He was famous in the field of success and achievement. He had written four books, and each of them had 250 success principles（原则）. He had developed these during more than 50 years of research and study. I had read all of his books more than once.

Luckily, I had a chance to talk with him. I asked him a question that many people would ask. “Of all the one thousand success principles you have discovered, which is the most important?”

He smiled at me as if he had been asked this question many times and replied without thinking twice.“There are 999 different success principles, but without self-discipline, none of them work” He went on, saying, “Many years ago, Thomas Huxley said the most important success principle is, “Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”

Self-discipline is magic because it opens all doors for you and makes everything else possible.

【1】How did the writer learn about the key to success?

A．By asking some questions.

B．By doing some research.

C．By attending some meetings.

D．By reading a lot of books.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The writer asked Kopmeyer a special question.

B．The subject of success was new to many people.

C．Kopmeyer wasn’t interested in the writer’s question.

D．Kopmeyer developed one thousand success principles.

【3】What can open all doors in your life?

A．Having more chances.

B．Working hard.

C．Self-discipline.

D．Working in a team.

【4】What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．Push yourself to do things even if you don’t want to.

B．Plan everything carefully and don’t make any mistakes.

C．Set a smile and you will find that nothing is impossible.

D．Choose what you like and give up what you don’t like.

【5】The best title for this passage would be “________”.

A．A Special Question

B．The Key to Success

C．When You Can Succeed

D．Everything Is Possible

28、   This morning I took a bus to school. The traffic was 【1】 (busy) than usual and there were many people on the bus. At Xinhua Stop, I saw 【2】 old man get on the bus. He looked very weak.

29、Have you ever heard of the sayings like “A man’s house is his castle(城堡)”, or “East or west, home is best”. They both tell us the importance of the place you live in.

In the past, people usually stayed at one ________ from being born to growing up, getting married and being dead. Nowadays, in some regions(地区), people ________ live like this, but it is not always the case.

Living in the same place does have its advantages. People are likely to be ________ to their family and enjoy the company of their friends. In these areas, people are friendly with each other and they do as much as possible to ________ people in need. A close relationship is formed there.

However, it also has some disadvantages. For example, ________ in one place are limited, so they do not have many opportunities. Besides, ________ you have a quarrel( 争吵 ) with somebody, it is still unavoidable to see them from time to time. There is no way to ________ this.

Today, a large number of people, especially the young, would rather move around and ________ their jobs. Like in China, people move ________ one city to another more often. This is good for business and culture communication, because they can see how other people live and enjoy different cultures. They also have more chances to meet different people and get better jobs.
