Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. They've got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. They've got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories. Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.
But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使……不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses.
Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son' s hearing. "But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me," she said.
"My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory," I said, "but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."
" Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy' s hearing was all right. So, that proves you're right on that point," admitted Mrs. Alien. "So how can we help him My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln. "
"You can do a lot to improve William's hearing memory, but it'll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately. " I cautioned.
I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.
1. Those who have poor hearing memories ______.
A. can not hear sounds clearly
B. are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned
C. are poor at learning things by what they have heard
D. have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of
2.The author suggested that Mrs. Alien try some ways ______.
A. to train her son' s hearing memory
B. to make use of her son' s natural senses
C. to make good use of what her son heard
D. to understand the trouble in which her son was involved
3. In paragraph 4, the underlined word "incredulous" means ______.
A. unbelieving B. believable C. believing D. incredibly
4. Which of the following is true
A. Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school.
B. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.
C. The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.
D. The author didn't suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William.
More perhaps than any other European nation, the Swiss are accustomed to looking after foreign travelers. As early as the 18th century, wealthy French, Germans and Italians were treating the country as an amusement center while, in the 19th century, it became the major holiday playground for the British nobles. Today, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
The Swiss are clear about the importance of tourism to their economy, which contributes about eight percent of Gross National Product, and helps the industry greatly. Managers of hotels the world over go to Switzerland to learn how to do the job, and a generally high standard can be expected from the great majority of the country’s hotels, most of which are small and pride themselves on a personalized service. Public transport is the best in Europe. Both the Swiss Federal railways and the private railways are fully electrified, and the total network is made up of about 5000 kilometers of track.
Under the Fly Baggage system passengers can check luggage in at 116 railway stations and have it automatically carried to their flight. The national highway system is equally well planned, and the mountain roads offer views of some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery. Also serving the mountains is an effective system of railways and cable ways, while more than 160 passenger cars cross the lakes and rivers to and fro. Hiking in the mountains is equally popular with Swiss nationals and foreign visitors. For those who want to view the country from a height without having to climb the mountain themselves, it is always possible to take in the view from a balloon.
5. Which of the following statements is true
A. Most of the hotels in Switzerland are big in size.
B. The hotels in Switzerland offer exactly the same service.
C. Most of the hotels in Switzerland offer first class service.

London, Reuters--What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home?
No, it's not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
It's high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body's natural ability to detect some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
1. The device can be used to ____________.
A. threaten teenagers in public
B. drive away trouble-makers under 20
C. help mothers control their teenage children
D. help the police control shopkeepers
2. From the passage we can know that ___________.
A. young people often suffer from pains in ears
B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people' over 20
D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
3. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is ________.
A. to advertise a new hi-tech device B. to tell the reader a piece of news
C. to sell the device to shopkeepers D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police

Britain was a rich country a hundred and fifty years ago. There were a few very rich people who received money from land or investment (投资), and did not need to work. They used to have large numbers of servants to look after them. There were also many middle-class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to clean their houses and cook their meals. But there were also many poor people, and there was a big gap between the rich and the poor. The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be paid little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in a warm house and were well fed.
Those who worked in factories were often less lucky. They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use earn enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums(贫民窟) which were built cheaply by the factory owners. The worst paid people were those who worked on the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn anything because there was no work for them to do.
Life for the poor was not always bad. There were kind farmers and factory owners who helped their workers. And many people cared for the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer. When he was young, his family was always short of money. His father was a clerk, who used to spend more than he earned. When Dickens was eleven, his father was sent to prison; and Dickens had to work in a factory. At this time, very young children used to work in factories and mines(矿), and clean chimneys.
