A
Four employees of Haier Group, China’s largest home appliances manufacturer, were fired for taking a nap during working hours, which caused heated discussions online. Should employees be fired for taking a nap at work Readers share their opinions.
Vivianwang(China).
Why is a short nap seen as such a terrible offense I always feel extremely sleepy after lunch. After I take a nap during lunch break I feel more energetic. Instead of firing the workers dozing off, employers should address the problem and adopt a routine that works best for them.
Sakura(Japan)
This is the opposite of how it is in Japan, where sleeping at your workplace is often seen as a sign that you've been working hard. So people in Japan nod off whenever and wherever they can.
Thunderbird(Canada)
Napping at work time shall be punished. In some severe cases, repeated misconduct may lead to the end of employment in some Canadian government establishments.
Crystal (UK)
I experienced the power of naps myself when I was writing my new book, The Way Were Working Isn't Working. I wrote at home, in the mornings, In three separate, highly focused 90-minute sessions. By the time I finished the last one, I was usually exhausted—physically, mentally and emotionally. I ate lunch and then took a 20-to 30-minute nap. When I awoke, I felt incredibly refreshed. Where I might otherwise have dragged myself through the afternoon, I was able to focus effectively on work until 7 pm or so.
Eric (USA)
Years ago, Craig Yarde, founder of Yarde Metals in Bristol, CT, noticed his employees napping on the job. So when he built a new office space in 1995, he built a nap room, with couches. Fifteen years later, Yarde Metals has grown to nearly 700 employees, with $500 million in annual revenue(收入) and locations up and down the east coast—each with its own dedicated napping room.

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park.” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”---Mike, Randy, and Alex --- came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared on within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍) . Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their eyes. Someone named “Not me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the fish bowl refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the sitting room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare center(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife is away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes ” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
4. When his wife left home, Brad expected___________.
A. go out for a walk in the park
B. watch TV talk show with his children
C. enjoy his first day off the work.
D. read the newspaper to his children
5. Which of the following did Randy do
A. Drawing on the wall B. Eating apple jam
C. Feeding the fish D. Reading in a room
6. Why did Brad ask the daycare center for help
A. Because he wanted to clean his house.
B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office
C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys
D. Because he had to take his wife back home.
7. The text is developed ____________.
A. by space B. by comparison
C. by process D. by time
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章主要记叙了一位父亲在与他的三个孩子共同度过他假期的第一天，孩子在家的表现让他无法控制，从而向日托所寻求帮助。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段对Brad的心理描写，尤其是信息句“Expecting a whole day to relax，he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.”可以看出，妻子离家后，Brad期待着在第一个休假日里放松一下自己，故C项符合题意。A项并不是Brad想做的；B、D两项内容并不是与孩子一起进行的活动，这在后文也有体现，因此错误。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的描述可以看出，A项是Mike做的；B项是Randy做的；C项是Alex做的；D项（正在房间里读书）是对文中信息“Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.”的曲解。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文中诸多关键字眼如“Life became worse”与“things were out of control”都表明是因为管理不了孩子们，Brad才把他们送去日托所。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由每一段的开始都有时间的描述，比如as Sue left home to visit her mother after eight o’clock；Life became worse after breakfast；By ten o’clock；At exactly 11:17可知，文章是按照事件发展的时间先后顺序来叙述的。故选D。
C
Children walking in their sleep is not uncommon. 20% to 25% of children may sleepwalk at least once in their lifetime. So what is sleepwalking Sleepwalking is a disorder(紊乱) that occurs during the deepest stage of sleep resulting in walking around or performing "complex” behaviors. These behaviors can range from simply walking around the bedroom,to getting dressed, walking out the front door and even driving. ‘There are several causes, but the most common ones are lack of sleep, stress, and heredity(遗传).
If you see your child sleepwalking, it's important to quietly and calmly direct them back to bed.Interacting with the sleepwalker too much can cause more confusion and even make the event last longer, You don't have to awaken them or force them out of it, but can just guide them back to their bed.
If it happens occasionally,there is no reason to be concerned. It's normal and many of us have sleepwalked at some point. However, if it happens more than twice a week and lasts for a few weeks, or if dangerous behaviors are occurring, further judgement may be necessary, Some children have succeeded in getting outside of the home or injuring themselves during sleepwalking events, both of which can be dangerous. Sometimes sleepwalking is a time that lasts for a few months to a few years. Other times it is caused by an underlying sleep disorder,so treatment could be helpful. If sleepwalking occurs more often, it is recommended that you speak with your doctor.He or she may refer you to a sleep doctor for further judgement.
Sleep studies are sometimes recommended to judge the causes of sleepwalking. These studies allow doctors to identify things like breathing or movement abnormalities. If a sleep disorder is identified, treatments to settle it may decrease your sleepwalking. In other cases, analysis of the child's sleep patterns or stress levels can help identify ways to decrease sleepwalking.
Some families have members that sleepwalk into adulthood, but most will outgrow that behavior during their teenage years. Keeping sleepwalkers safe is the most important part of the process.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
12. The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information
13. What can we learn about the first experiment
A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
14. In transactive memory, people ________.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网来储存信息，人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢？专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的记忆内容和方式。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”专家们想知道，互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆，以及如何改变我们的记忆？这是本文的中心话题。因此推断，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知第一组没有试着记住信息。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___16___ According to recent studies the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___17___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___18___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___19___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___20___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D .
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气对人体的各种好处。
16题详解】
根据下一句中的“the answer is a big YES”可知，该空应该是一个一般疑问句，选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。E项“但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？”承上启下，故选E。空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和选项中的“your mother always said”亦是呼应。
【17题详解】
根据下一句中提到的“If the air you’re breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen”可知，新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的，充满活力的氧气。再根据下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是对前文的递进，在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知，该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用，根据常识，我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部”。
【18题详解】
根据下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词，故G项“在全国，康复中心已经开始建造‘康复花园’。”these places就是指Healing Gardens。
【19题详解】
前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用：绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力，降低血压，使人情绪良好；空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”。该空起承上启下的作用，仍然要提到处于“康复花园”这种自然环境中的好处，空后的it也要指代这种情况。故选C项“身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。”
【20题详解】
根据下文中提到的“the sun’s rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D”可知，该段介绍阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D项“获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。”

So body language provides external clues that ___44___ (influence) by internal thoughts and feelings.

By contrast, when we feel ___46___ (power), we tend to slump, making ourselves smaller. It is obvious ___47___ our minds can influence our bodies. But is it also true that our bodies can affect our minds Scientific experiments show that if we make powerful ___48___ (gesture) long enough, we may actually feel more powerful.

45. straighten

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了我们的思想可以影响我们的肢体语言，同时，我们的肢体语言也会影响我们的思想，我们可以通过尝试自信的肢体语言，帮助清除我们的害羞和无力感。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：当我们考虑交流时，我们考虑的是互动。空格前think about意为“考虑”，为动词短语，后应接名词，在句中作宾语，interact意为“互动，交流”，动词词性，对应的名词为interaction，意为“互动，相互影响”。故填interaction。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去的几年里，社会科学家花了很多时间研究我们身体语言的影响。根据句中In the past years可知，句中的动作开始于过去并持续到现在，应用现在完成时，句式为“主语+have/has+动词过去分词+其他”，scientists为可数名词复数形式，与have连用，spend意为“花（时间）”，动词词性，过去分词为spent。故填have spent。
【43题详解】
考查数词。句意：根据这些判断，我们赞成一个人，不喜欢另一个人。根据句中another可知，句子表达的是赞成“一个”人，不喜欢另一个人，空格处应用one，泛指“一个”，one person泛指“一个人”，与后文的another形成对照。故填one。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：因此，肢体语言提供了外部线索，这些线索受到内在思想和情感的影响。句子陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，句子为that引导的定语从句，先行词为clues，在从句中作主语，influence意为“影响”，动词词性，clues与influence为逻辑上的被动关系，即线索被影响，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，句式为“主语+am/is/are+动词过去分词+其他”，clues与are连用，influence的过去分词为influenced。故填are influenced。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语和时态。句意：科学家们发现，当我们感到骄傲和强大时，我们通常会挺直腰板，让自己变得更大。根据句意和句中usually可知，句子陈述的是经常性，习惯性的动作，应用一般现在时，句中涉及固定短语straighten up，意为“直起身子，挺直腰杆”，在句中作谓语，straight意为“直的”，形容词词性，straighten意为“使挺直”，动词词性，we后接动词原形。故填straighten。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意：相比之下，当我们感到无力时，我们往往会消沉，使自己变小。空格前feel意为“感觉”，为感官动词，后接形容词作表语。根据By contrast可知，本句话是在与上文进行对比，根据上文的powerful可知，上文讲的是我们强大的时候会挺直腰板，由此可推断出这里指的是当我们感到“无力时”，往往会消沉，power意为“能力，权力”，名词词性，powerless意为“无力的，无权的”，形容词词性，符合句意。故填powerless。
【47题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：很明显，我们的思想可以影响我们的身体。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为主语从句，句中It为形式主语，真正的主语是空格单词引导的从句，从句中不缺成分且意思完整，故应用that引导从句。故填that。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意：科学实验表明，如果我们做强有力的姿势足够长时间，我们可能真会感觉到更强大。句中powerful意为“强大的，强有力的”，形容词词性，后接名词，gesture意为“姿势”，为可数名词，句中表示不止一个姿势，故应用gesture的复数形式gestures。故填gestures。
【49题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：相比之下，那些记得使用积极肢体语言的人更有可能感到积极。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“be likely to do sth.”，意为“可能做某事”，feel意为“感觉”，动词词性，to后接动词原形。故填to feel。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：因此，一些科学家建议我们尝试自信的身体语言，以帮助清除我们的害羞和无力感。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“break down”，意为“清除，破除”，句中指清除我们的害羞和无力感。故填down。

【55题详解】
第五处：考查名词的数。句意：在所有的学校的科目中我最喜欢英语。all后面接subject的复数形式。故将subject改为subjects。
【56题详解】
第六处：考查时态。根据时间状语for eleven years可知这里用现在完成进行时。故将had改为have。
【57题详解】
第七处：考查形容词。句意：我的英语口语仍然很差。remain是连系动词，后面接形容词。故将poorly改为poor。
【58题详解】
第八处：考查代词。代词it代指前面名词English。故将them改为it。
【59题详解】
第九处：考查副词。句意：我可以学习英国的风俗，这是我非常感兴趣的。这里使用非限制性定语从句，不能用that，改成which。故将that改成which。

A
Four employees of Haier Group, China’s largest home appliances manufacturer, were fired for taking a nap during working hours, which caused heated discussions online. Should employees be fired for taking a nap at work Readers share their opinions.
Vivianwang(China).
Why is a short nap seen as such a terrible offense I always feel extremely sleepy after lunch. After I take a nap during lunch break I feel more energetic. Instead of firing the workers dozing off, employers should address the problem and adopt a routine that works best for them.
Sakura(Japan)
This is the opposite of how it is in Japan, where sleeping at your workplace is often seen as a sign that you've been working hard. So people in Japan nod off whenever and wherever they can.
Thunderbird(Canada)
Napping at work time shall be punished. In some severe cases, repeated misconduct may lead to the end of employment in some Canadian government establishments.
Crystal (UK)
I experienced the power of naps myself when I was writing my new book, The Way Were Working Isn't Working. I wrote at home, in the mornings, In three separate, highly focused 90-minute sessions. By the time I finished the last one, I was usually exhausted—physically, mentally and emotionally. I ate lunch and then took a 20-to 30-minute nap. When I awoke, I felt incredibly refreshed. Where I might otherwise have dragged myself through the afternoon, I was able to focus effectively on work until 7 pm or so.
Eric (USA)
Years ago, Craig Yarde, founder of Yarde Metals in Bristol, CT, noticed his employees napping on the job. So when he built a new office space in 1995, he built a nap room, with couches. Fifteen years later, Yarde Metals has grown to nearly 700 employees, with $500 million in annual revenue(收入) and locations up and down the east coast—each with its own dedicated napping room.

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park.” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”---Mike, Randy, and Alex --- came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared on within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍) . Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their eyes. Someone named “Not me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the fish bowl refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the sitting room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare center(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife is away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes ” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
4. When his wife left home, Brad expected___________.
A. go out for a walk in the park
B. watch TV talk show with his children
C. enjoy his first day off the work.
D. read the newspaper to his children
5. Which of the following did Randy do
A. Drawing on the wall B. Eating apple jam
C. Feeding the fish D. Reading in a room
6. Why did Brad ask the daycare center for help
A. Because he wanted to clean his house.
B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office
C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys
D. Because he had to take his wife back home.
7. The text is developed ____________.
A. by space B. by comparison
C. by process D. by time
C
Children walking in their sleep is not uncommon. 20% to 25% of children may sleepwalk at least once in their lifetime. So what is sleepwalking Sleepwalking is a disorder(紊乱) that occurs during the deepest stage of sleep resulting in walking around or performing "complex” behaviors. These behaviors can range from simply walking around the bedroom,to getting dressed, walking out the front door and even driving. ‘There are several causes, but the most common ones are lack of sleep, stress, and heredity(遗传).
If you see your child sleepwalking, it's important to quietly and calmly direct them back to bed.Interacting with the sleepwalker too much can cause more confusion and even make the event last longer, You don't have to awaken them or force them out of it, but can just guide them back to their bed.
If it happens occasionally,there is no reason to be concerned. It's normal and many of us have sleepwalked at some point. However, if it happens more than twice a week and lasts for a few weeks, or if dangerous behaviors are occurring, further judgement may be necessary, Some children have succeeded in getting outside of the home or injuring themselves during sleepwalking events, both of which can be dangerous. Sometimes sleepwalking is a time that lasts for a few months to a few years. Other times it is caused by an underlying sleep disorder,so treatment could be helpful. If sleepwalking occurs more often, it is recommended that you speak with your doctor.He or she may refer you to a sleep doctor for further judgement.
Sleep studies are sometimes recommended to judge the causes of sleepwalking. These studies allow doctors to identify things like breathing or movement abnormalities. If a sleep disorder is identified, treatments to settle it may decrease your sleepwalking. In other cases, analysis of the child's sleep patterns or stress levels can help identify ways to decrease sleepwalking.
Some families have members that sleepwalk into adulthood, but most will outgrow that behavior during their teenage years. Keeping sleepwalkers safe is the most important part of the process.
8. What do we know about children 's sleepwalking
A Sleepwalking children sleep too much.
B. Sleepwalking children only walk around.
C. Examination anxiety can cause sleepwalking.
D. Few children have the sleepwalking problem.

A. suffer a sleep disorder
B. sleepwalk now and then
C. sleepwalk every other day
D. get hurt in sleepwalking
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph

D
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
12. The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information
13. What can we learn about the first experiment
A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
14. In transactive memory, people ________.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___16___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___17___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___18___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___19___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___20___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D .
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

Dear Sir ,
Thank you for invite me to the summer English courses in your school .As for your choice between the two courses , I prefer the four-week course because of it will allow me more time to do traveling and make a little new friends . Of all the subject I’m learning at school, I like English best. I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English is poorly .So I really hope to take this chance to improve them. .If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days in order that I can know some customs in England, that I’m particularly interested in. I believe I will have good time this summer.
Yours truly ,
Li Hua
