25、You Can Be a World Memory Champion!

Every year, people with amazing memory skills compete in an event called the World Memory Championships. The tasks require huge powers of memory retention: remembering the order of 52 cards in a deck (副); memorizing the names of 110 people after looking at their pictures; and other tasks. Completing any of these tasks may not seem easy for the normal person, but scientific proof seems to show that even someone with normal skills can, through training, improve his or her memory skills and become a memory champion.

One memory champion explained his methods of recalling the order of the cards in a deck. Firstly, he connected a person, an action and a thing with each card. For example, the king of hearts is Elvis Presley, eating, a chocolate sandwich. The three of spades (黑桃) is Rocky Balboa, boxing, Madison Square Garden. The ten of hearts is William Shakespeare, writing Hamlet, a broken pen. Take a person from the first card, an action from the second card, and a thing from the third card so that any group of three cards creates a vivid (生动的) image that is easier to recall. For example: king-ten-three becomes Elvis Presley writing Hamlet in Madison Square Garden – a memorable image.

Still, even having created images for each group of three cards, it is difficult to keep them in order. This is done using the loci method, or what some call a “Memory Palace” – a term created by Frances Yates in his 1966 book The Art of Memory – which is a simple but effective method discovered by the ancient Greeks.

But are there people with naturally amazing memories? The winner of the 2011 World Memory Championships was 21-year-old Chinese Wang Feng. He said he had a “normal memory as a child,” and no special talent except for the hard work and attention to detail.

Although many still think that people have either good or bad memories from birth, that need not be true. By using the methods of grouping, connecting with vivid images, and the loci method, we can all improve our memories. Who knows – you might even become the next World Memory Champion!

【1】According to Paragraph 2, ten-king-three can create an image of ________.

A．William Shakespeare eating in Madison Square Garden

B．Hamlet eating a chocolate sandwich with a broken pen

C．Rocky Balboa writing Hamlet with a broken pen

D．Elvis Presley boxing in Madison Square Garden

【2】Why is loci method useful for memorizing the cards?

A．It connects the images with their time order.

B．It reorganizes the cards to build a vivid palace.

C．It uses the terms from a book to create a new image.

D．It helps memorize the order of the three-card groups.

【3】What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To praise the winners of the World Memory Championship.

B．To help people win the World Memory Championship.

C．To show a good memory is more a matter of training.

D．To explain methods of remembering a deck of cards.

26、

In a village in Uganda, a woman named Fatima ran a small store. She sold food and other useful items. However, she had trouble making enough money to keep the shelves stocked（储存的）. To stay in business Fatima got a microfinance loan—a small total of money from a person in another country. It was just enough for her to buy a cell phone. She let villagers make calls using her phone and charged them some money for each call. This helped her make enough money to keep her shelves stocked with items. Fatima then used the money to send her children to school and improved their lives, as well as her own.

Microfinance is the practice of giving small loans to people in need. Most microfinance loans are for less than two hundred dollars. The loans are used to start or enlarge a small business, such as catching fish, raising chickens or selling produce. Lenders are willing to make these loans because most of the people who receive them are very likely to repay the loans.

Microfinance loans are important for several reasons. The businesses that these loans support often provide needed services or goods to their communities. Also, many of the people who receive microfinance loans cannot get money any other way. Although they have to pay a high rate（比率）of interest on the money they borrow, the rate is lower than if they borrowed from a local moneylender.

It doesn’t seem like such a small total of money could make a big difference, but microfinance loans have been shown to help improve some people’s lives and put new life into the communities like Fatima’s.

【1】Why did Fatima Serwona get a microfinance loan?

A．To manage her small store.

B．To buy a cell phone for her neighbor.

C．To help the villagers make money.

D．To afford her children’s education.

【2】What can we learn about microfinance?

A．It supports poor people for free.

B．It offers big loans to people in need.

C．It helps small businesses a lot.

D．It provides needed goods for local people.

【3】What may be the borrowers’ attitude（态度）to microfinace?

A．Shameful.

B．Hateful.

C．Careful.

D．Thankful.

【4】What can be inferred（推断出）from the text?

A．Fatima is the richest woman in her community.

B．Few people in Fatima’s village have cell phones.

C．Microfinance will offer money to big companies.

D．Most borrowers can hardly repay the loans.

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A．A Little Can Go a Long Way

B．A Cell Phone Brings a Better Life

C．Love Can Make a Big Difference

D．Small Business Build a New World
