第二部分 阅读理解 (第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。
A
When a nurse told t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he tales of a crazy bag lady, I kept my back turned. “This morning I go out to get the paper,” she said, “and there she is as usual with her grocery cart down Madison Avenue. Only now it’s got a baby cradle (摇篮) in it!”21·cn·jy·com
I stood apart from t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he crowd, keeping my head down so nobody would notice how red my face was. Part of me wanted to tell them all the truth. “That’s my mother you’re laughing at! She’s the kindest person in the whole world! And that cradle isn’t for her — it’s for her neighbor’s new grandbaby!” But I didn’t say anything. I just kept silent, like always.
Growing up, I never co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld have imagined being afraid to talk about my mother. But a few years before, Mom had fallen over and required brain surgery. She survived, but not without severe changes to her personality. Her fashionable suits were replaced by ragged sweaters and shoes full of holes. She no longer worked as a teacher and just walked the neighborhood with an old grocery cart.
The laughter of my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) workmates was still ringing in my ears when I stopped by to check on her. I found her in her “office” — two feet of space full of receipts from the grocery store. Eight frozen turkeys lay on the floor at her feet. She looked upset.
“There are people o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n this block who can’t afford to buy a Thanksgiving turkey,” she said.
This was the one par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of Mom’s personality that her accident didn’t touch: her desire to help others. She’d brought comfort foods to sick neighbors and kept a basket of cards at the ready for anyone needing encouragement. These days Mom focused on her own personal plans. With money from her pension, she made sure everyone on her block had enough to eat, delivering the groceries herself with her grocery cart.
“Why do you bothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r with all this, Mom ” I said. “People don’t even appreciate it. Remember that time you went all over town looking for ingredients your neighbor needed to make a special dinner for her family She didn’t even say thank you.”【出处：21教育名师】
“When people act t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat way, it’s their heart telling you they need even more kindness,” Mom said.
What could I say M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om’s accident had taken away her logic. How she could be so patient with other people was a complete mystery to me. That very mystery was brought home a few weeks later. I was helping out at a wedding, and the hostess herself turned out to be beyond rude. She criticized the way I laid out napkins (餐巾纸). If that was her heart trying to tell me she needed more kindness, I wasn’t going to listen. Mom had the ability to be unaware of the laughs and stares at her expense. I didn’t.
I hoped to sta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y unseen for the rest of the party. But suddenly all eyes were on me. A fine dressed guest pointed. “Roberta,” she said, “I just realized who your mother is!” I cried, waiting for the “funny” story that would surely follow. “Roberta’s mother is a lifesaver. She brings in everything — groceries and medicine. We call her the Angel of Madison Avenue!” She continued until everyone acknowledged Mom’s kindness. Then, they congratulated me on being her daughter.21教育名师原创作品
As soon as th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e party was over I rushed to visit Mom. “I wish you could have been there!” I told her. “Everyone said how lucky I am to have a mother like you.”
“Really ” said Mom. S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he sounded surprised. “You know, most people who see me with my grocery cart just laugh and stare.”
Now I had to laugh. Mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m had known what people thought all along. She just didn’t let it stop her from doing good.
As the proud daughter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the Angel of Madison Avenue, I will try to keep the tradition alive.

B
Godwin Louis can re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )member the first time he heard jazz, all thanks to a relative in Connecticut.
“I was living in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Haiti at the time and I have an uncle who’s a jazz guitarist, so he would send some jazz CDs to us,” he said.
He said he remembe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )red listening in particular to a disc by saxophonist (萨克斯手) Cannonball Adderley and Sonny Rollins’ Live at the Village Vanguard. But it was bebop creator Charlie Parker that really did it.
“That was sort of m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y introduction to jazz and improvisation (即兴演奏),” he said.
It was the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong White Christmas that inspired Louis on the Parker recording.
“It is sort of li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke the liberties! It’s not quite the melody (旋律) or tune but it’s following some kind of shape, it goes with the melody and it makes sense, but I just don’t know what it is,” he said. “I want to be able to play like that.”
Haiti might ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not be the first place you would think of when you think of jazz. But today — and during the time Louis was growing up there, jazz absolutely was popular, just as Louis said.
And Louis continu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es to work to see it stays that way. He’s partnered with a number of Haiti’s best jazz players to indicate the country’s connection to jazz — a connection that goes back hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in Haitian and U.S. history. Both Haiti and the Louisiana that stretches from New Orleans up along the Mississippi River had been French colonies in the New World.
“A lot of Haitia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns moved to the Louisiana Purchase, so with them they brought the culture, the architecture, cooking, their music and everything else they could bring,” he said.
When he came to A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )merica to study jazz in 2009, Louis felt like he was completely into the society.
He’d been liv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing in Haiti, and had grown up with Haitian rhythms that had long ago contributed to the creation of jazz. So it all seemed to fit. At the time, he said that a teacher told him, “Man, somehow you’re playing our music perfectly, but it’s not the way we play it. I can hear it and I think it comes from that.”
Like in so many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) other places in the world, many Haitians threw themselves into the culture of the United States, and on that point, Louis certainly went along.
“I also spend a lot of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time of course listening to popular music of the 90s,” he said. “When I play I try to somehow — whether consciously or subconsciously (潜意识地) — find those influences and just play.”
“Having been one o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the finalists at the Monk Competition,” said Louis, “I begin to turn my dream into reality. I get to about 25 people on Facebook every day. I get more, you know, fans and followers on the Internet, and it’s pretty cool.”
And when he plays it, it’s also pretty hot.
46. Who play ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed the biggest part in bringing Louis to the Jazz journey
A. Sonny Rollins. B. Charlie Parker.
C. A relative in Haiti. D. Cannonball Adderley.
47. The unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word “bebop” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to .
A. a native living in Haiti B. an early form of saxophone
C. the creator of modern jazz D. an early form of modern jazz
48. We can know that Louis’s style of jazz is to .
A. combine Haitian feature with American style
B. perform in a style performed in the early Haiti
C. perform in a way that belongs to American culture
D. combine Sonny Rollins’ style with Charlie Parker’s
49. Godwin Louis got well-known .
A. when he was still living in his home country Haiti2·1·c·n·j·y
B. when he started to chat with his fans on Facebook
C. after his excellent performance in a jazz competition
D. because his performance is not only cool but also hot
50. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. Where on earth did jazz music come from
B. The history of jazz’s development and changes
C. The course of growth of an American new jazz star 21*cnjy*com
D. The long jazz journey Haiti’s Godwin Louis takes

Every year, road crash ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es kill more than a million people around the world and injure many, many more. But a new study says deaths and injuries can be sharply reduced by taking simple safety measures. What’s more, safer roads can bring major economic benefits as well.
Dr. Margie Pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )den, who is the director of Unintentional Injury Prevention at the World Health Organization, said that traffic accidents should be viewed as a health issue. “It’s a huge public health problem. It kills around 1.3 million people every year and it injures and disables somewhere between 20 and 50 million people. I compare it to a disease. Very often in countries it’s not thought of as a public health issue but it’s thought of as a transport issue only. Although some of the issues around prevention may be related to improving vehicles or improving the road, many of the patients obviously end up in hospitals and they consume huge amounts of resources,” she said.
She was asked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to review the study, which appears in the bulletin of the World Health Organization. The study describes safety measures taken between 2000 and 2010 in Catalonia, Spain, during which there was an important decrease in the number of traffic crashes and deaths.
“We are very aware ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that during these 10 years, from 2000 to 2010, there was an important decrease in the number of traffic crashes and deaths. In order to make it more impressive and understandable for anybody, we translate this figure into economic terms. So people are aware of the money that could be saved through using public health measures,” said health economist Dr. Anna Garcia-Altes, who works for the Catalan Agency for Health Information, Assessment and Quality in Barcelona.
Dr. Garcia-Altes out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined the economic benefits of road safety in Catalonia.
“First, if people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are less injured they go less to the hospital, right So there’s an immediate impact because people don’t use the emergency room, ward, long-term care, etc. The second thing is if people are not injured they can go to work. And finally we were estimating (估算) that in this 10-year period there were 3,000 fewer deaths due to car accidents. So this also has an economic impact,” she said.
The safety measur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es that were strictly taken include seatbelt usage, speed limits, drunk driving laws and a punishment point system for repeat offenders that could result in the loss of drivers’ licenses. Dr. Garcia-Altes said that she’s been contacted by European and U.N. officials, who are interested in the safety program.21教育网
WHO’s Dr. Marg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ie Peden described the Spanish study as “an important piece of work, as there are few economic evaluations of road safety policies.”
She said that po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or data collection makes it difficult to have an official list of places where road traffic deaths are the worst. Nevertheless, the information that is available indicates nearly 50 percent of victims are actually what we call vulnerable road users. These are people who are outside the vehicle, like pedestrians or cyclists or motorcyclists. Unfortunately, for many, many years road builders have really only thought about the car occupants and not the person outside the car. Much attention now should be paid to them.
Road traffic crash ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es are currently predicted to rise from the ninth to the fifth leading cause of death in the world. However, it’s expected to reduce by half the number of road traffic crashes.
56. Why did Dr. Ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rgie Peden consider traffic accidents as a health issue
A. Because people would live better without traffic accidents.
B. Because it ta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kes much to take measures to reduce traffic accidents.
C. Because safer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roads can contribute to the great development of economy.
D. Because traff ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ic accidents results in a large number of deaths and injuries.
57. What’s the sixth paragraph mainly about
A. Importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce of safety measures. B. Tips for avoiding being injured.
C. Economic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )benefits of safer roads. D. Ways of preventing road injuries.
58. What can we know about the Spanish study from the passage
A. It lasted two years. B. It was led by Dr. Margie Peden.
C. Its findings haven’t been published.
D. Its safety program has interested some officials.
59. The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed word “them” in the ninth paragraph probably refers to .
A. victims B. road users
C. road builders D. persons outside the vehicle
60. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To provide information about safer roads.
B. To report the latest study in road traffic crashes.
C. To give advice on how to prevent road accidents.
D. To show people’s attitudes towards traffic accidents.

How to Save Time When Studying
This article will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )help you improve your grades and reduce your actual studying time. Reading the tips below, you’ll get to know how to save time when you’re studying.
61. It is very difficult to pull off countless hours studying for a test because your brain just tunes out. Find your own personal attention span (时间). When you are studying and you feel that your brain is about to stop paying attention to everything else, have a short break. This is the perfect time to do things that would best relax your mind. You can go for a snack, a drive or even watch some television. Whatever it is, be sure to take note of the time so that you don’t get too carried away with too much relaxation.
62. Do your best to find a suitable study location. Have anywhere you feel safe and at ease to study. Do not force yourself into places that can be very noisy. If you study in these kinds of places then you will always find it difficult to concentrate on your studies with all that noise going on. Remember that you are the only person who can identify which surroundings fit your study needs and which do not. Choose your place of study wisely may influence your learning.
63. People are working hard nowadays because there are so many tasks thrown at them day in and day out. Organizing them is the only way to prevent yourself from cramming (强记) them and giving in ordinary work or doing poorly in an examination. Stay away from procrastination (拖延) as much as possible. If you know you have the time to study ahead of time, do so. Not only will you avoid cramming or staying up all night, you will also maximize your time and productivity.
64. Humans have two kinds of memory, short-term and long-term. One of the best ways to save your time while studying is to transfer (转移) your short-term memory into long-term memory. This means that while studying you do not need to go over everything again. What you should do in class is to understand what you are learning. You can easily transfer the things you learn in class from your short-term memory into your long-term memory by reviewing your notes before and after your classes.www-2-1-cnjy-com
65. Everyone is different hence they all study differently. Some find it easier to study while at home or in the school’s library. Check to see if you study better early in the morning or better at night. Feeling comfortable with your surroundings is the best way to be able to focus and study properly.

Recently haze pollu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion has happened in many cities of China. It’s one of the most dangerous weather conditions. Many accidents have occurred due to low visibility caused by haze. What’s worse, it also affects our health. If breathing in haze, people may feel uncomfortable and get ill.
The reason for haze ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is air pollution. It results from waste gases released from cars, factories or construction sites. 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
In view of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) above, we need to protect ourselves from haze pollution. First of all, in case of haze pollution, we shouldn’t open the windows or take exercise before the sun rises and after sunset. Besides, we’d better wear masks when we go outside. What’s more, we should eat more fruit, from which we can get enough vitamins to build up the resistance to diseases.

第二部分 阅读理解 (第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。
A
When a nurse told t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he tales of a crazy bag lady, I kept my back turned. “This morning I go out to get the paper,” she said, “and there she is as usual with her grocery cart down Madison Avenue. Only now it’s got a baby cradle (摇篮) in it!”21·cn·jy·com
I stood apart from t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he crowd, keeping my head down so nobody would notice how red my face was. Part of me wanted to tell them all the truth. “That’s my mother you’re laughing at! She’s the kindest person in the whole world! And that cradle isn’t for her — it’s for her neighbor’s new grandbaby!” But I didn’t say anything. I just kept silent, like always.
Growing up, I never co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld have imagined being afraid to talk about my mother. But a few years before, Mom had fallen over and required brain surgery. She survived, but not without severe changes to her personality. Her fashionable suits were replaced by ragged sweaters and shoes full of holes. She no longer worked as a teacher and just walked the neighborhood with an old grocery cart.
The laughter of my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) workmates was still ringing in my ears when I stopped by to check on her. I found her in her “office” — two feet of space full of receipts from the grocery store. Eight frozen turkeys lay on the floor at her feet. She looked upset.
“There are people o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n this block who can’t afford to buy a Thanksgiving turkey,” she said.
This was the one par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of Mom’s personality that her accident didn’t touch: her desire to help others. She’d brought comfort foods to sick neighbors and kept a basket of cards at the ready for anyone needing encouragement. These days Mom focused on her own personal plans. With money from her pension, she made sure everyone on her block had enough to eat, delivering the groceries herself with her grocery cart.
“Why do you bothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r with all this, Mom ” I said. “People don’t even appreciate it. Remember that time you went all over town looking for ingredients your neighbor needed to make a special dinner for her family She didn’t even say thank you.”【出处：21教育名师】
“When people act t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat way, it’s their heart telling you they need even more kindness,” Mom said.
What could I say M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om’s accident had taken away her logic. How she could be so patient with other people was a complete mystery to me. That very mystery was brought home a few weeks later. I was helping out at a wedding, and the hostess herself turned out to be beyond rude. She criticized the way I laid out napkins (餐巾纸). If that was her heart trying to tell me she needed more kindness, I wasn’t going to listen. Mom had the ability to be unaware of the laughs and stares at her expense. I didn’t.
I hoped to sta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y unseen for the rest of the party. But suddenly all eyes were on me. A fine dressed guest pointed. “Roberta,” she said, “I just realized who your mother is!” I cried, waiting for the “funny” story that would surely follow. “Roberta’s mother is a lifesaver. She brings in everything — groceries and medicine. We call her the Angel of Madison Avenue!” She continued until everyone acknowledged Mom’s kindness. Then, they congratulated me on being her daughter.21教育名师原创作品
As soon as th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e party was over I rushed to visit Mom. “I wish you could have been there!” I told her. “Everyone said how lucky I am to have a mother like you.”
“Really ” said Mom. S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he sounded surprised. “You know, most people who see me with my grocery cart just laugh and stare.”
Now I had to laugh. Mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m had known what people thought all along. She just didn’t let it stop her from doing good.
As the proud daughter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the Angel of Madison Avenue, I will try to keep the tradition alive.

Godwin Louis can re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )member the first time he heard jazz, all thanks to a relative in Connecticut.
“I was living in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Haiti at the time and I have an uncle who’s a jazz guitarist, so he would send some jazz CDs to us,” he said.
He said he remembe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )red listening in particular to a disc by saxophonist (萨克斯手) Cannonball Adderley and Sonny Rollins’ Live at the Village Vanguard. But it was bebop creator Charlie Parker that really did it.
“That was sort of m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y introduction to jazz and improvisation (即兴演奏),” he said.
It was the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong White Christmas that inspired Louis on the Parker recording.
“It is sort of li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke the liberties! It’s not quite the melody (旋律) or tune but it’s following some kind of shape, it goes with the melody and it makes sense, but I just don’t know what it is,” he said. “I want to be able to play like that.”
Haiti might ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not be the first place you would think of when you think of jazz. But today — and during the time Louis was growing up there, jazz absolutely was popular, just as Louis said.
And Louis continu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es to work to see it stays that way. He’s partnered with a number of Haiti’s best jazz players to indicate the country’s connection to jazz — a connection that goes back hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in Haitian and U.S. history. Both Haiti and the Louisiana that stretches from New Orleans up along the Mississippi River had been French colonies in the New World.
“A lot of Haitia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns moved to the Louisiana Purchase, so with them they brought the culture, the architecture, cooking, their music and everything else they could bring,” he said.
When he came to A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )merica to study jazz in 2009, Louis felt like he was completely into the society.
He’d been liv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing in Haiti, and had grown up with Haitian rhythms that had long ago contributed to the creation of jazz. So it all seemed to fit. At the time, he said that a teacher told him, “Man, somehow you’re playing our music perfectly, but it’s not the way we play it. I can hear it and I think it comes from that.”
Like in so many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) other places in the world, many Haitians threw themselves into the culture of the United States, and on that point, Louis certainly went along.
“I also spend a lot of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time of course listening to popular music of the 90s,” he said. “When I play I try to somehow — whether consciously or subconsciously (潜意识地) — find those influences and just play.”
“Having been one o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the finalists at the Monk Competition,” said Louis, “I begin to turn my dream into reality. I get to about 25 people on Facebook every day. I get more, you know, fans and followers on the Internet, and it’s pretty cool.”
And when he plays it, it’s also pretty hot.
46. Who play ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed the biggest part in bringing Louis to the Jazz journey
A. Sonny Rollins. B. Charlie Parker.
C. A relative in Haiti. D. Cannonball Adderley.
47. The unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word “bebop” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to .
A. a native living in Haiti B. an early form of saxophone
C. the creator of modern jazz D. an early form of modern jazz
48. We can know that Louis’s style of jazz is to .
A. combine Haitian feature with American style
B. perform in a style performed in the early Haiti
C. perform in a way that belongs to American culture
D. combine Sonny Rollins’ style with Charlie Parker’s
49. Godwin Louis got well-known .
A. when he was still living in his home country Haiti2·1·c·n·j·y
B. when he started to chat with his fans on Facebook
C. after his excellent performance in a jazz competition
D. because his performance is not only cool but also hot
50. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. Where on earth did jazz music come from
B. The history of jazz’s development and changes
C. The course of growth of an American new jazz star 21*cnjy*com
D. The long jazz journey Haiti’s Godwin Louis takes

Every year, road crash ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es kill more than a million people around the world and injure many, many more. But a new study says deaths and injuries can be sharply reduced by taking simple safety measures. What’s more, safer roads can bring major economic benefits as well.
Dr. Margie Pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )den, who is the director of Unintentional Injury Prevention at the World Health Organization, said that traffic accidents should be viewed as a health issue. “It’s a huge public health problem. It kills around 1.3 million people every year and it injures and disables somewhere between 20 and 50 million people. I compare it to a disease. Very often in countries it’s not thought of as a public health issue but it’s thought of as a transport issue only. Although some of the issues around prevention may be related to improving vehicles or improving the road, many of the patients obviously end up in hospitals and they consume huge amounts of resources,” she said.
She was asked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to review the study, which appears in the bulletin of the World Health Organization. The study describes safety measures taken between 2000 and 2010 in Catalonia, Spain, during which there was an important decrease in the number of traffic crashes and deaths.
“We are very aware ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that during these 10 years, from 2000 to 2010, there was an important decrease in the number of traffic crashes and deaths. In order to make it more impressive and understandable for anybody, we translate this figure into economic terms. So people are aware of the money that could be saved through using public health measures,” said health economist Dr. Anna Garcia-Altes, who works for the Catalan Agency for Health Information, Assessment and Quality in Barcelona.
Dr. Garcia-Altes out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined the economic benefits of road safety in Catalonia.
“First, if people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are less injured they go less to the hospital, right So there’s an immediate impact because people don’t use the emergency room, ward, long-term care, etc. The second thing is if people are not injured they can go to work. And finally we were estimating (估算) that in this 10-year period there were 3,000 fewer deaths due to car accidents. So this also has an economic impact,” she said.
The safety measur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es that were strictly taken include seatbelt usage, speed limits, drunk driving laws and a punishment point system for repeat offenders that could result in the loss of drivers’ licenses.

How to Save Time When Studying
This article will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )help you improve your grades and reduce your actual studying time. Reading the tips below, you’ll get to know how to save time when you’re studying.
61. It is very difficult to pull off countless hours studying for a test because your brain just tunes out. Find your own personal attention span (时间). When you are studying and you feel that your brain is about to stop paying attention to everything else, have a short break. This is the perfect time to do things that would best relax your mind. You can go for a snack, a drive or even watch some television. Whatever it is, be sure to take note of the time so that you don’t get too carried away with too much relaxation.
62. Do your best to find a suitable study location. Have anywhere you feel safe and at ease to study. Do not force yourself into places that can be very noisy. If you study in these kinds of places then you will always find it difficult to concentrate on your studies with all that noise going on. Remember that you are the only person who can identify which surroundings fit your study needs and which do not. Choose your place of study wisely may influence your learning.
63. People are working hard nowadays because there are so many tasks thrown at them day in and day out. Organizing them is the only way to prevent yourself from cramming (强记) them and giving in ordinary work or doing poorly in an examination. Stay away from procrastination (拖延) as much as possible. If you know you have the time to study ahead of time, do so. Not only will you avoid cramming or staying up all night, you will also maximize your time and productivity.
64. Humans have two kinds of memory, short-term and long-term. One of the best ways to save your time while studying is to transfer (转移) your short-term memory into long-term memory. This means that while studying you do not need to go over everything again. What you should do in class is to understand what you are learning. You can easily transfer the things you learn in class from your short-term memory into your long-term memory by reviewing your notes before and after your classes.www-2-1-cnjy-com
65. Everyone is different hence they all study differently. Some find it easier to study while at home or in the school’s library. Check to see if you study better early in the morning or better at night. Feeling comfortable with your surroundings is the best way to be able to focus and study properly.

Recently haze pollu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion has happened in many cities of China. It’s one of the most dangerous weather conditions. Many accidents have occurred due to low visibility caused by haze. What’s worse, it also affects our health. If breathing in haze, people may feel uncomfortable and get ill.
The reason for haze ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is air pollution. It results from waste gases released from cars, factories or construction sites. 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
In view of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) above, we need to protect ourselves from haze pollution. First of all, in case of haze pollution, we shouldn’t open the windows or take exercise before the sun rises and after sunset. Besides, we’d better wear masks when we go outside. What’s more, we should eat more fruit, from which we can get enough vitamins to build up the resistance to diseases.
