（2021·重庆南开中学模拟预测）“I wonder by my troth, what thou and I did, till we loved ” those are the first words of a poem by John Donne that I learned at school and I still know the whole thing today. It’s just one of many poems I've stored in my memory, ready to recite and relish whenever I please.
It seems that poetry learning has gone out of fashion, but I'm still a fan because it doesn't just breed a lifelong love of poetry. ___31___ So why not dig out a poem you love and use it to exercise and enrich your recall
Step 1. Know that poems are designed to stick in your mind. ___32___ See how they leave you with memory-arousing images and how they surprise you by breaking the rules, and control your senses and emotions. These are all great ways to make information more memorable.
Step 2. ___33___ When you're learning a poem, try linking the last word of one line to the first word of the next. In my John Donne poem, one line ends with “see”, and the next starts with “which”, so I pictured a “sea witch”. Making links like these can also help with learning names, and many other kinds of information.
Step 3. Put in a performance. When you're practising a poem, read it aloud, as dramatically and emotionally as you can. ____34____
Step 4. Enjoy yourself. Learning poems gives your memory a workout, which improves your mood and gets you into good learning habits. So reap the rewards! Have fun putting rhymes into your shopping list, using rhythm to learn names, or “performing” revision notes before an exam.
___35___And, in the process, you'll be making your memory stronger for everything.
A．Learn through links since memory relies on connections.
B．It also boosts confidence and builds lasting memory skills.
C．So identify the tricks poets use - rhythm, rhyme and repetition.
D．Thus, short poems are good options because they are easily memorized.
E．Follow these steps to appreciate poems and enjoy them wherever you are.
F．Memory experts believe poetry learning can even cultivate an interest in study.
G．Adding gestures and moving around the room can also strengthen your learning.

（2021·安徽蚌埠·三模）When we are learning a new language, carrying on a conversation can be difficult. It is even harder when there is the added pressure of doing a job well using the new language. One of our readers, Emre, works at a job that requires him to talk with customers in English. He recently asked for advice on how he can improve his listening skills. ____36____
Predict
The first strategy is to predict what you will hear. Maybe your customers sometimes say they have problems with placing an order on your website.____37____What words do they often use in that kind of conversation For example, customers may often use the word "order".

____39____ At the beginning of the conversation, you can ask, “Would you please speak more slowly ” The other kind of question is one I call, "asking to clarify." Remember, you predicted some of the words your customers may use. You should listen closely for those words. When you hear one, you can ask the customer a short question to be sure.

（2021·浙江·高考真题）You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. ___1___
It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. ___2___Any small interruption - a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:____3____So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. ___4___This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
____5____It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you
B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines
C．Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line
F．With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.

Can you imagine a world where everyone looks the same, has the exact same hobbies and interests, and even eats the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner ____7____ And bringing those differences together makes us better.
To put it simply, our diversity and inclusiveness (包容性)are our biggest strengths. We’ll all profit from a more diverse, inclusive society, understanding, accommodating, even celebrating our differences, while pulling together for the common good. As such, Global Diversity Awareness Month is a great chance for us to learn more about the beliefs, values and customs of other cultures. ____8____
____9____ For example, we can host a multicultural movie night and watch foreign films, or listen to music from around the world or visit cultural art exhibitions. Another way we can celebrate diversity is by inviting our friends and family to dinner. Everyone can bring traditional dishes from their countries and hometowns.
There is no doubt that diversity and inclusiveness make our world a better place. ____10____ As Mahatma Gandhi once said, our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization. Hopefully, with each passing day, we get closer and closer to that achievement.

（2021·河南信阳·一模）Failure is probably the most exhausting experience one ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.___11___
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. ___12___ Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (字母) order and I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.
___13___Its difficulties appear so great that we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can and then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents. Nothing like this had ever been done before so that my fatigue became almost unbearable. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. ___14___ An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind and proved correct at every step.
___15___Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.

（2021·宁夏银川·模拟预测）Winners and Losers in the Race of Life
Our societies have advanced tendencies to label certain people ‘winners’ and others — logically enough — ‘losers’.___16___
And yet the more confusing and complex truth is that life is really made up of a number of races. There are races for money and fame. But there are also races that measure other kinds of skills worth respecting. There is a race for who can remain calmest in the face of frustration. ___17___ There are races focused on how good they are at getting pleasure from autumn fruits.
A striking fact about the multi-race event of life is, quite simply, that no one is ever able to end up a winner in every genre of competition available. ___18___ When we have failed in certain races in the long journey of life, we keep ample opportunities to train and develop our strength to win in others. We may never again be able to compete in the race for fame, honor or money, but it’s still entirely open to us to compete in the race for kindness, friendship and forgiveness. We may even win at the not insignificant race for enjoying one’s own company or sleeping very soundly.
___19___ There is only a person who has won in some areas and messed up in others. We never entirely fail at life itself. When we feel depressed and isolated, the universe is just giving us another chance. ___20___ Only by showing gratitude to life can we learn to win.
A．Let’s smile to life.
B．They will lose in the less familiar races.
C．In that case, life might be a singular race.

（2021·广东茂名·二模）Time and money are life's most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money“ is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay, Advice to a Young Tradesman, 1748.___26___ He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways.
___27___ Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time. In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.
The value of time varies from person to person. Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. ___28___
Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. ___29___ You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. However, when people are made aware of their mortality they wonder if they did make the most of their lives.
In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. ___30___ Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new Skills and knowledge take time, so the more time you spend on them, the more you improve.

（2021·山东潍坊·二模）Why is being alone essential to personal growth

Of course, spending time with people you love is extremely important to your well-being. ___31___ Only if you’re connected to yourself can you become stronger.
Aloneness enhances your creativity. When you are alone, you are more likely to stay true to yourself and try new things that you don’t have the courage to do around others. ___32___ Picasso or Van Gogh wouldn’t have created the masterpieces if they hadn’t taken enough solitary (独自的) time to experiment regardless of others’ thoughts.
