Note - taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork - everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don't have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips.
Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that's good: You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare's use of irony(讽刺) Write it down!
Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or piece of information. After a while, you'll get to know a teacher's style.
Don't overdo it. Don't go crazy taking notes. You'll be frantic(慌乱的)if you try to write down every word that's said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class.
Ask. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If the teacher is going too fast, your classmates will also be happy to hear the information again. If you don't want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It's much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study.
Compare. Keep your notes handy when you're doing your reading pare what you wrote with what the readings say - you may even want to add to your notes as you read.
28. What's an advantage of note - taking according to the writer
A. It helps you to get good marks in tests. B. It's a basic skill in researching a paper.
C. It helps fix your mind on what the teacher says. D. It gives you a better understanding of key facts.
29. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the passage
A. To introduce the topic of note - taking. B. To compare writing styles in different times.
C. To give an example of forming good habits. D. To explain what a key fact is in a teacher's class.
30. What is suggested in the third paragraph
A. Teachers encourage their students to be active in class.
B. It's helpful for teachers to learn from each other in styles.
C. It's not always possible to note down all information in class.
D. A teacher's style should be taken into consideration when taking notes.
31. What's the writer's opinion according to the passage
A. Students must try to take correct and detailed notes in class.
B. Students should put down only key points while listening carefully.
C. Students must not interrupt the teacher by asking questions in class.
D. Students should put down as much information as possible in class
D
For most of us, walking is something we do automatically. It doesn't require much effort, so many of us fail to remember the benefits of walking for health.
Physical activity doesn't need to be hard. Whether you're regularly active or not, even a quick ten - minute daily walk can deliver a host of health benefits. But what happens if we stop walking ahead and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards Not only does this change of direction demand more of our attention, but it may also bring additional health benefits.
One of the most well - studied benefits of walking backwards is improving stability and balance. Walking backwards can improve how a person walks and balance for healthy adults and those with knee problems. Walking backwards causes us to take shorter, more frequent steps, leading to improve the muscles of the lower legs. But the benefits of changing direction aren't just that—an interest in backward movement has led researchers to discover various other benefits. While normal walking can help us maintain a healthy weight, walking backwards may be even more effective. Energy expenditure when walking backwards is almost 40 percent higher than walking at the same speed forwards, with one study showing reductions in body fat for women who completed a six - week backward walk.
Walking backwards is simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. So, how can you add walking backwards into your exercise plan When walking backwards, we're more likely to crash into something or fall over, so in the interest of safety, it's best to start indoors where you won't crash into someone or outside in a flat, open area. Look over your shoulder. Keep your head and chest upright while reaching back with your big toe for each step, rolling through the foot from toe to heel. Once you become more confident of walking backwards, you can begin to speed things up.
32. Why does the author mention "the benefits of walking" in the beginning
A. To introduce the benefits of walking. B. To show people's lack of exercise.
C. To lead us to "walking backwards". D. To tell us the importance of walking.
33. What does the underlined word "expenditure" mean
A. Increase B. Consumption. C. Experiment. D. Construction.
34. What does the fourth paragraph talk about
A. When is safe to walk backwards B. Why should we walk backwards
C. How can we start walking backwards D. What's the weakness of walking backwards
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. Physical Activity Is Easy and Simple B. Walking Backwards Is Really Good for You
C. Walking Doesn't Require Any Special Equipment D. Walking Ahead Challenges Our Brains and Bodies

67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
It was in the middle of winter, about thirty years ago. I was a young father with three little children and I was working in a sawmill (锯木厂) for just above the minimum wage.
As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped band - aids (创口贴 ) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling up the wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry winter air. Then I walked down to my car in the snow and hoped it would start.
That day at work was harder than normal. The machines kept breaking down. And we had to rush to catch back up as the wood was piled up. On top of it all the heaters in the building weren't working and we could see our breath as we spent hours chopping, piling, carrying, and packaging the hard wood flooring to be shipped out.
When the work day finally ended, I walked tiredly towards the time clock, took off my work gloves and inspected my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the band - aids again. I tried to straighten out but I suffered severe cramps (抽筋) in my back. I started my car and drove back home. I looked at the snow and blinked back tears. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened my front door, but instead one appeared naturally, My daughter ran up to me, yelled " Daddy," and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart exploded with love.

Thank you for your kindness and support. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

My tired body didn't feel so tired any more. The warmth of my daughter's hug melted all the exhaustion from the long, cold workday. Her soft cheeks pressed against mine, and her laughter rang like bells, chasing away all my worries. I carried her into the living room, and the sight before me made my eyes widen. The table was decorated with colorful balloons and a small cake, and my two sons were sitting quietly, grinning at me.
"Happy birthday!" my wife greeted me warmly. She walked over with a cup of hot tea, her eyes filled with care. "I know you've been working so hard lately, but I didn't want you to forget your special day." She handed me a pair of thick gloves, "These are for your hands—no more splits and bleeding this winter." As I held the warm tea and the new gloves, surrounded by my family's love, I realized that no matter how hard life was, the love of my family was the greatest comfort. Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks, and I knew everything would get better.

Note - taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork - everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don't have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips.
Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that's good: You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare's use of irony(讽刺) Write it down!
Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or piece of information. After a while, you'll get to know a teacher's style.
Don't overdo it. Don't go crazy taking notes. You'll be frantic(慌乱的)if you try to write down every word that's said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class.
Ask. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If the teacher is going too fast, your classmates will also be happy to hear the information again. If you don't want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It's much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study.
Compare. Keep your notes handy when you're doing your reading pare what you wrote with what the readings say - you may even want to add to your notes as you read.
28. What's an advantage of note - taking according to the writer
A. It helps you to get good marks in tests. B. It's a basic skill in researching a paper.
C. It helps fix your mind on what the teacher says. D. It gives you a better understanding of key facts.
29. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the passage
A. To introduce the topic of note - taking. B. To compare writing styles in different times.
C. To give an example of forming good habits. D. To explain what a key fact is in a teacher's class.
30. What is suggested in the third paragraph
A. Teachers encourage their students to be active in class.
B. It's helpful for teachers to learn from each other in styles.
C. It's not always possible to note down all information in class.
D. A teacher's style should be taken into consideration when taking notes.
31. What's the writer's opinion according to the passage
A. Students must try to take correct and detailed notes in class.
B. Students should put down only key points while listening carefully.
C. Students must not interrupt the teacher by asking questions in class.
D. Students should put down as much information as possible in class

For most of us, walking is something we do automatically. It doesn't require much effort, so many of us fail to remember the benefits of walking for health.
Physical activity doesn't need to be hard. Whether you're regularly active or not, even a quick ten - minute daily walk can deliver a host of health benefits. But what happens if we stop walking ahead and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards Not only does this change of direction demand more of our attention, but it may also bring additional health benefits.
One of the most well - studied benefits of walking backwards is improving stability and balance. Walking backwards can improve how a person walks and balance for healthy adults and those with knee problems. Walking backwards causes us to take shorter, more frequent steps, leading to improve the muscles of the lower legs. But the benefits of changing direction aren't just that—an interest in backward movement has led researchers to discover various other benefits. While normal walking can help us maintain a healthy weight, walking backwards may be even more effective. Energy expenditure when walking backwards is almost 40 percent higher than walking at the same speed forwards, with one study showing reductions in body fat for women who completed a six - week backward walk.
Walking backwards is simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. So, how can you add walking backwards into your exercise plan When walking backwards, we're more likely to crash into something or fall over, so in the interest of safety, it's best to start indoors where you won't crash into someone or outside in a flat, open area. Look over your shoulder. Keep your head and chest upright while reaching back with your big toe for each step, rolling through the foot from toe to heel. Once you become more confident of walking backwards, you can begin to speed things up.
32. Why does the author mention "the benefits of walking" in the beginning
A. To introduce the benefits of walking. B. To show people's lack of exercise.
C. To lead us to "walking backwards". D. To tell us the importance of walking.
33. What does the underlined word "expenditure" mean
A. Increase B. Consumption. C. Experiment. D. Construction.
34. What does the fourth paragraph talk about
A. When is safe to walk backwards B. Why should we walk backwards
C. How can we start walking backwards D. What's the weakness of walking backwards
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. Physical Activity Is Easy and Simple B. Walking Backwards Is Really Good for You
C. Walking Doesn't Require Any Special Equipment D. Walking Ahead Challenges Our Brains and Bodies

67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
It was in the middle of winter, about thirty years ago. I was a young father with three little children and I was working in a sawmill (锯木厂) for just above the minimum wage.
As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped band - aids (创口贴 ) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling up the wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry winter air. Then I walked down to my car in the snow and hoped it would start.
That day at work was harder than normal. The machines kept breaking down. And we had to rush to catch back up as the wood was piled up. On top of it all the heaters in the building weren't working and we could see our breath as we spent hours chopping, piling, carrying, and packaging the hard wood flooring to be shipped out.
When the work day finally ended, I walked tiredly towards the time clock, took off my work gloves and inspected my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the band - aids again. I tried to straighten out but I suffered severe cramps (抽筋) in my back. I started my car and drove back home. I looked at the snow and blinked back tears. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened my front door, but instead one appeared naturally, My daughter ran up to me, yelled " Daddy," and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart exploded with love.

My tired body didn't feel so tired any more. The warmth of my daughter's hug melted all the exhaustion from the long, cold workday. Her soft cheeks pressed against mine, and her laughter rang like bells, chasing away all my worries. I carried her into the living room, and the sight before me made my eyes widen. The table was decorated with colorful balloons and a small cake, and my two sons were sitting quietly, grinning at me.
"Happy birthday!" my wife greeted me warmly. She walked over with a cup of hot tea, her eyes filled with care. "I know you've been working so hard lately, but I didn't want you to forget your special day." She handed me a pair of thick gloves, "These are for your hands—no more splits and bleeding this winter." As I held the warm tea and the new gloves, surrounded by my family's love, I realized that no matter how hard life was, the love of my family was the greatest comfort. Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks, and I knew everything would get better.
