文档简介
Passage 1
A lot of people think that visiting a museum is just something that you do when you go sightseeing.__16__.Here are some reasons why it is important to visit museums.
·Museums teach you about the past
As you know, the main nature of museums is to present history. It shows you something that you may have only read or heard about. Museum artifacts tell stories about how they were made, where and why, and what happened to them.__17__. They also reveal the evolution and progress of nature, science, culture, and civilization.
·Museums are community centers
Museums are more than collections of some artifacts. In fact, they give you an opportunity to meet people with the same interests. This is a good time to get to know them, share views and thoughts, and learn from each other. By regularly visiting museums, you can become an active part of the knowledgeable community.__18__.
·Visiting museums is an effective way of learning
__19__.To make it clear, informal learning refers to any process of learning something outside the traditional classroom. Just by having a museum experience, you will certainly acquire some new knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. Furthermore, you may get curious about some artifact or historical event and you continue researching about it on your own.
·__20__
By visiting a museum, not only will you be doing something good for yourself, but also museums will slowly but surely become part of your identity. The education you can get from frequent museum visits will also become part of your identity and soon enough you will define yourself as a person that enjoys learning, culture, and beauty.
A．Museums are great for doing research
B．Visiting museums gives you an identity
C．They show the way people lived years ago
D．However, museums offer people much more
E.Museums are excellent examples of informal learning environments
F．Nothing can make you happier than experiencing beauty long forgotten
G．Sooner or later, you will get to know a lot of smart and successful people
Passage 2
Every day, a lot of people move house. With newfound appreciation for space and air, it may suddenly have seemed as if a new kind of life was possible.__16__ Here's some expert advice on how to build a new community.
__17__
Ask people you already know if they could introduce you to anyone in the location to which you are moving. The posting on social media is probably the easiest way to tap your friends' friends. It increases the chance that there's someone you will get along with.
Don't expect friends to magically appear.
__18__ People really need to take the initiative to go out there and meet other people and not assume that friends are just going to fall into their lives. As people become familiar to us, we like them more, and it's completely unconscious.
Be open to a broader range of people.
You have spent a lifetime narrowing your social circle to those you really care about, but the chances are you're not going to meet new best friends in your new area instantly. When it comes to friendships, having close friends is one of the best things we can do for our health and well being. But even having brief interactions with people in general benefits us.__19__
Don't despair.
Remember to maintain pre existing friendships, so that you're not feeling lonely and disconnected while developing new relationships.__20__ But people don't realize that if they put themselves out there, the process can go faster than they think. It really makes a difference if you're willing to attend different events; you can really change your social life.
A．Make a public appeal.
B．Put some work in before you move.
C．Quality is best, but quantity still does something.
D．It can take a long time to build up new friendships.
E．But now the pandemic has made it harder to connect with strangers.
F．It doesn't necessarily mean you made the wrong decision on the move.
G．We tend to think friendships happen naturally, but that's a huge misconception.
Passage 3
It seems like some people are born with a good sense of direction while others are always getting lost.__16__ You can improve your sense of direction. You just need to work at it. Nowadays, of course, it's convenient to rely on GPS rather than commit a long, complex route to memory.__17__ Studying a larger map and remembering the route before you set out does have its benefits. The amount of mental energy it requires means it's more likely to stick in your mind. Looking at digital maps on a big screen or even studying a paper map also allows you to get a sense of the all important bigger picture and how places fit together.
__18__ It's also important to notice what's around you in all directions. Instead of staring straight ahead, make sure you look up, down and behind you as well. This will be particularly useful when you're doing the journey in reverse(反向)—even if it's just finding your way back from the toilet in a restaurant. Another tip Taking photographs or writing notes at key locations can help you keep them in your memory.
Finally, try to relax when you're on unfamiliar ground. __19__ But this sudden anxiety will only prevent you from calmly working out which way to go. Besides, getting lost is one of the best ways to discover new places and add more details to that ever growing mental map, both of which will help you have a better sense of direction in the long term.
Your sense of direction is a use it or lose it skill. If you only stick to the routes you already know, it's never going to get any better.__20__
A．Don't just look where you're going.
B．So now it's time to start exploring!
C．If you're one of the “lost” ones, don't worry.
D.Anxiety plays a role in our sense of direction, too.
E．It's all too easy to get anxious if you suspect you may be lost.
F．Developing a good sense of direction usually takes much practice.
G．But ignore it if you really want to improve your sense of direction.
Passage 4
Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home？__16__ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.
Puzzles come in a huge range of sizes and difficulty levels. For beginners, a 100 piece puzzle is usually a good starting point. __17__ Try grouping pieces with the same colour or design because they will probably go in the same area once the puzzle takes shape.
__18__ Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side. Stay patient as you search through pieces and try to make them fit together. You may not find any connecting pieces for ages but then several may suddenly appear.
For a real test, puzzles that have 1，000 pieces or more are a tough task and it's best to complete them with friends or family if you can. Choosing a scene that interests you, such as a favourite film, sport or location, can help keep you interested and determined to work to the final piece. You can get fun educational puzzles, too.__19__
Some of the best places to pick up puzzles are charity shops. They're often on sale for less than 5.Once you have completed a puzzle, it's nice to exchange it with a friend.__20__ You just upload an image, such as a family scene, and they will make a puzzle from it and post it to you. It makes a lovely and unusual present.
A．So others can have a go.
B．You can't beat a good puzzle.
C．Some companies make personalised puzzles.
D.However, a good start doesn't always lead to a good result.
E．Most people like to start by getting the four edges of a puzzle laid out.
F．It can get you used to sorting out how the shapes, patterns and colours go together.
G．For example, you may try a map of the world, historical timelines or the periodic table.
Passage 5
We may befriend more people on social media, but we have fewer real friends—the kind who would help us out in tough times, listen sympathetically no matter what, lend us money, or keep a secret if we share one.
__16__ He is a Cornell University sociologist who surveyed more than 2，000 adults and found that from 1985 to 2010, the number of truly close friends has dropped even though we're socializing as much as ever. On average, participants listed 2 close friends in his survey. __17__“These are the people you think of as your real friends, your go to people if you need something，” Brashears said.
Brashears asked people online from a database called Time sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences to list the names of people with whom they had discussed “important matters” over the previous six months.48 percent of participants listed one close friend when asked, 28 percent listed two and 19 percent listed more.__18__ He reported the results in the journal SocialNetworks.
__19__ Brashears said his survey can't tell us conclusively (确凿地), but his guess is that while we meet just as many people as we used to, we sort them differently.
Does that suggest we're more isolated in these times when we seem to meet more people online than in person Social scientists say social media may actually be healthy for us. Keith Hampton from the University of Pennsylvania wrote a report.“Internet, or social media users have more close relationships than other people. They get more overall social support than other people.__20__”wrote Hampton in his blog post.
But online contact and personal contact are different. While Hampton reports we know more people because of social media, Brashears reports there are fewer whom we choose to trust with our most intimate worries.
A．What's the reason behind them
B．What's the meaning of the survey
C．That's the conclusion made by Matthew Brashears.
D．The report reflected issues behind the phenomenon.
E．At the same time, a little more than 4 percent didn't list anyone.
F．Compared with 3 in a previous study, the number was down by one point.
G．And in particular they report more emotional support and companionship.
Passage 6
The Human Library has been working to encourage a sense of shared humanity for almost two decades. It is quite different from traditional libraries.__16__ You can review your perspective with the help of borrowed human books.
The Human Library is an association which attempts to create respect and understanding for the diversity in society through efforts. __17__ In this place, people who otherwise would never meet or talk can find room for conversation.
As its website details, the library hosts weekly events in local communities. The volunteers，“human books”， welcome members of the public to come and talk to them. __18__
Ronni Abergel is the founder of the library.__19__ As his idea has spread like a bestseller, the library has hosted events in more than 80 countries, in libraries, museums, festivals and schools. It has more than 1，000 human books in circulation in more than 50 languages, with especially strong presence in American cities such as Chicago and San Francisco.
__20__ They have served as a timely way to reach out to scores of people stuck at home, and fearful of being too close to strangers. Being a book in the library is more than what you expect and is something you will never forget. It is also an opportunity to meet a lot of people that are different from you and yet you will find you share a lot in common.
A．It creates a safe space for dialogue.
B．His ambition is to build a high tech library.
C．COVID 19 has led to many virtual events as well.
D．This library allows people to start an online conversation.
E．He just wants to get the whole world listening and talking.
F．Here, various questions are expected, appreciated and answered.
G．At this library, you can “borrow” people for a conversation instead of books.
Passage 7
The quality of the family relationship is more important than family configuration (结构).A healthy family relationship is the base of a happy family. 1 Although family relationships are different,there are certain characteristics that healthy family relationships share.
2 Family members listen to and genuinely care about what the others are saying.In these families,communication is on a deep enough level that all members are able to share their feelings,goals,achievements and experiences.When some feedback and constructive criticism are given,love and affection are made clear by the use of positive words.
A family with a healthy relationship requires every single family member’s commitment.Family members hold family as a top priority and consider the impact on relatives before making important decisions.Family members are dependable and always there for each other in times of crisis. 3
A characteristic of a healthy family relationship is that they spend time doing enjoyable activities together. 4 Often,these activities become family traditions,such as sharing meals together,having family outings every weekend or playing sports together.
5 Family members accept that they each have their own personalities,qualities and interests.Everyone plays an important role in the family.When there is conflict between family members,it is solved in a positive and healthy manner.Family members also acknowledge each other’s achievements and show appreciation for other members.
A.Therefore,members do not feel they are on their own.
B.Family members share everything they have with each other.
C.Respect is an important characteristic of healthy family relationships.
D.It provides members with the support and encouragement that they need.
E.Family members tend to select activities that help the family to grow closer.
F.It is important to keep in mind that each family member is a unique individual.
G.Families with healthy relationships engage in positive and meaningful communication.
Passage 8
Studying smarter,not longer,matters now more than ever,with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own. 1 The good news:Science points to ones that really work.
Use pictures.Pay attention to drawings,graphics,charts and other visual aids in your class materials,psychologist Mark McDaniel says.“ 2 And if there aren’t pictures,creating them can be really,really useful.”
Find examples.Abstract concepts can be hard to understand.It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something,psychologist Cynthia Nebel says.For instance,sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid. 3 But if you think about a lemon or vinegar,it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.
4 Psychologist Nate Komell “definitely did cram(临时抱佛脚)” before big tests when he was a student.He still thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test.But research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day.Instead,allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.
Dig deeper.It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further.Ask why things are a certain way.How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration.“It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says. 5
Try adding just one new study skill each week or two.It may seem odd at first.But,by the time week two rolls around,it becomes a normal thing.
A.Reread books and notes.
B.Space out your studying.
C.They really boost your memory of the material.
D.Yet many students have never learned those skills.
E.In other words,don’t just accept facts at face value.
F.On its own,that concept might be hard to remember.
G.It’s like telling students to learn to swim by “just swimming”.
Passage 9
It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. 1
The first step is to find them.Go to YouTube and do a search for something like “official trailer”.Several film trailers will appear. 2 Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are.These films are usually humorous and relatable.To find animated films,try doing a search for something like “animated official trailer”.
Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions(字幕),which you will use later.You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video.It may be listed as “CC” or something else.Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube. 3
Next,watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions.Try to understand what the story is about overall.Then watch it again to seek more details. 4 It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.
5 Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions.This can help you in several ways.You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing,make clearer any dialogue you do not understand,and connect the sound of words with their spellings.You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone.
A.So choose newer videos.
B.You can choose some that look interesting.
C.They may sound a little strange at a slower speed.
D.With this method,you are testing your English skills.
E.Then watch the video again,this time with closed captions.
F.Besides,try using your notebook as you learn English in your everyday life.
G.Now let’s talk about steps you can take to get the most out of watching them.
Passage 10
Negative thinking leads to negative consequences.So how do we deal with that negative junk in our head The ways may be various,but they all have one idea in common: 1 External factors influence our lie to some degree,but it is mostly how we interpret external factors that has the greatest impact.Here is what we can do.
2 Do you want to catch a cold Stay with people with a cold.I am not sure whether the advice stands,but it is partly true.People are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to themselves.Poor people like to surround themselves with other poor people,and rich people with other rich people.Negative people are not optimistic.So make friends with positive people. 3
Accept and move on.Expecting everything to be perfect can be disturbing and it robs you of true happiness,so accept everything is not so perfect.Actually a meaningless thought is full of junk. 4 Then,go about your normal day and occupy your mind with an activity you love.
Mind your attitude.It starts the moment you wake up in the morning.Ask yourself:Do I want to be happy or miserable 5 If you intend to hold on to a negative frame of mind,you are inevitably choosing to be unhappy.If you want to achieve your own inner happiness,you are likely to cultivate it through good and uplifting thoughts.
A.We are our own masters.
B.The choice you make decides.
C.You should let go of it consciously.
D.Associate with like-minded people.
E.First,finish the assignment without any delay.
F.We probably release our stress by talking to others.
G.They often melt away all the negativity around them.

A lot of people think that visiting a museum is just something that you do when you go sightseeing.__16__.Here are some reasons why it is important to visit museums.
·Museums teach you about the past
As you know, the main nature of museums is to present history. It shows you something that you may have only read or heard about. Museum artifacts tell stories about how they were made, where and why, and what happened to them.__17__. They also reveal the evolution and progress of nature, science, culture, and civilization.
·Museums are community centers
Museums are more than collections of some artifacts. In fact, they give you an opportunity to meet people with the same interests. This is a good time to get to know them, share views and thoughts, and learn from each other. By regularly visiting museums, you can become an active part of the knowledgeable community.__18__.
·Visiting museums is an effective way of learning
__19__.To make it clear, informal learning refers to any process of learning something outside the traditional classroom. Just by having a museum experience, you will certainly acquire some new knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. Furthermore, you may get curious about some artifact or historical event and you continue researching about it on your own.
·__20__
By visiting a museum, not only will you be doing something good for yourself, but also museums will slowly but surely become part of your identity. The education you can get from frequent museum visits will also become part of your identity and soon enough you will define yourself as a person that enjoys learning, culture, and beauty.
A．Museums are great for doing research
B．Visiting museums gives you an identity
C．They show the way people lived years ago
D．However, museums offer people much more
E.Museums are excellent examples of informal learning environments
F．Nothing can make you happier than experiencing beauty long forgotten
G．Sooner or later, you will get to know a lot of smart and successful people
Passage 2
Every day, a lot of people move house. With newfound appreciation for space and air, it may suddenly have seemed as if a new kind of life was possible.__16__ Here's some expert advice on how to build a new community.
__17__
Ask people you already know if they could introduce you to anyone in the location to which you are moving. The posting on social media is probably the easiest way to tap your friends' friends. It increases the chance that there's someone you will get along with.
Don't expect friends to magically appear.
__18__ People really need to take the initiative to go out there and meet other people and not assume that friends are just going to fall into their lives. As people become familiar to us, we like them more, and it's completely unconscious.
Be open to a broader range of people.
You have spent a lifetime narrowing your social circle to those you really care about, but the chances are you're not going to meet new best friends in your new area instantly. When it comes to friendships, having close friends is one of the best things we can do for our health and well being. But even having brief interactions with people in general benefits us.__19__
Don't despair.
Remember to maintain pre existing friendships, so that you're not feeling lonely and disconnected while developing new relationships.__20__ But people don't realize that if they put themselves out there, the process can go faster than they think. It really makes a difference if you're willing to attend different events; you can really change your social life.
A．Make a public appeal.
B．Put some work in before you move.
C．Quality is best, but quantity still does something.
D．It can take a long time to build up new friendships.
E．But now the pandemic has made it harder to connect with strangers.
F．It doesn't necessarily mean you made the wrong decision on the move.
G．We tend to think friendships happen naturally, but that's a huge misconception.
Passage 3
It seems like some people are born with a good sense of direction while others are always getting lost.__16__ You can improve your sense of direction. You just need to work at it. Nowadays, of course, it's convenient to rely on GPS rather than commit a long, complex route to memory.__17__ Studying a larger map and remembering the route before you set out does have its benefits. The amount of mental energy it requires means it's more likely to stick in your mind. Looking at digital maps on a big screen or even studying a paper map also allows you to get a sense of the all important bigger picture and how places fit together.
__18__ It's also important to notice what's around you in all directions. Instead of staring straight ahead, make sure you look up, down and behind you as well. This will be particularly useful when you're doing the journey in reverse(反向)—even if it's just finding your way back from the toilet in a restaurant. Another tip Taking photographs or writing notes at key locations can help you keep them in your memory.
Finally, try to relax when you're on unfamiliar ground. __19__ But this sudden anxiety will only prevent you from calmly working out which way to go. Besides, getting lost is one of the best ways to discover new places and add more details to that ever growing mental map, both of which will help you have a better sense of direction in the long term.
Your sense of direction is a use it or lose it skill. If you only stick to the routes you already know, it's never going to get any better.__20__
A．Don't just look where you're going.
B．So now it's time to start exploring!
C．If you're one of the “lost” ones, don't worry.
D.Anxiety plays a role in our sense of direction, too.
E．It's all too easy to get anxious if you suspect you may be lost.
F．Developing a good sense of direction usually takes much practice.
G．But ignore it if you really want to improve your sense of direction.
Passage 4
Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home？__16__ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.
Puzzles come in a huge range of sizes and difficulty levels. For beginners, a 100 piece puzzle is usually a good starting point. __17__ Try grouping pieces with the same colour or design because they will probably go in the same area once the puzzle takes shape.
__18__ Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side. Stay patient as you search through pieces and try to make them fit together. You may not find any connecting pieces for ages but then several may suddenly appear.
For a real test, puzzles that have 1，000 pieces or more are a tough task and it's best to complete them with friends or family if you can. Choosing a scene that interests you, such as a favourite film, sport or location, can help keep you interested and determined to work to the final piece. You can get fun educational puzzles, too.__19__
Some of the best places to pick up puzzles are charity shops. They're often on sale for less than 5.Once you have completed a puzzle, it's nice to exchange it with a friend.__20__ You just upload an image, such as a family scene, and they will make a puzzle from it and post it to you. It makes a lovely and unusual present.
A．So others can have a go.
B．You can't beat a good puzzle.
C．Some companies make personalised puzzles.
D.However, a good start doesn't always lead to a good result.
E．Most people like to start by getting the four edges of a puzzle laid out.
F．It can get you used to sorting out how the shapes, patterns and colours go together.
G．For example, you may try a map of the world, historical timelines or the periodic table.
Passage 5
We may befriend more people on social media, but we have fewer real friends—the kind who would help us out in tough times, listen sympathetically no matter what, lend us money, or keep a secret if we share one.
__16__ He is a Cornell University sociologist who surveyed more than 2，000 adults and found that from 1985 to 2010, the number of truly close friends has dropped even though we're socializing as much as ever. On average, participants listed 2 close friends in his survey. __17__“These are the people you think of as your real friends, your go to people if you need something，” Brashears said.
Brashears asked people online from a database called Time sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences to list the names of people with whom they had discussed “important matters” over the previous six months.48 percent of participants listed one close friend when asked, 28 percent listed two and 19 percent listed more.__18__ He reported the results in the journal SocialNetworks.
__19__ Brashears said his survey can't tell us conclusively (确凿地), but his guess is that while we meet just as many people as we used to, we sort them differently.
Does that suggest we're more isolated in these times when we seem to meet more people online than in person Social scientists say social media may actually be healthy for us. Keith Hampton from the University of Pennsylvania wrote a report.“Internet, or social media users have more close relationships than other people. They get more overall social support than other people.__20__”wrote Hampton in his blog post.
But online contact and personal contact are different. While Hampton reports we know more people because of social media, Brashears reports there are fewer whom we choose to trust with our most intimate worries.
A．What's the reason behind them
B．What's the meaning of the survey
C．That's the conclusion made by Matthew Brashears.
D．The report reflected issues behind the phenomenon.
E．At the same time, a little more than 4 percent didn't list anyone.
F．Compared with 3 in a previous study, the number was down by one point.
G．And in particular they report more emotional support and companionship.
Passage 6
The Human Library has been working to encourage a sense of shared humanity for almost two decades. It is quite different from traditional libraries.__16__ You can review your perspective with the help of borrowed human books.
The Human Library is an association which attempts to create respect and understanding for the diversity in society through efforts. __17__ In this place, people who otherwise would never meet or talk can find room for conversation.
As its website details, the library hosts weekly events in local communities. The volunteers，“human books”， welcome members of the public to come and talk to them. __18__
Ronni Abergel is the founder of the library.__19__ As his idea has spread like a bestseller, the library has hosted events in more than 80 countries, in libraries, museums, festivals and schools. It has more than 1，000 human books in circulation in more than 50 languages, with especially strong presence in American cities such as Chicago and San Francisco.
__20__ They have served as a timely way to reach out to scores of people stuck at home, and fearful of being too close to strangers. Being a book in the library is more than what you expect and is something you will never forget. It is also an opportunity to meet a lot of people that are different from you and yet you will find you share a lot in common.
A．It creates a safe space for dialogue.
B．His ambition is to build a high tech library.
C．COVID 19 has led to many virtual events as well.

Passage 7
The quality of the family relationship is more important than family configuration (结构).A healthy family relationship is the base of a happy family. 1 Although family relationships are different,there are certain characteristics that healthy family relationships share.
2 Family members listen to and genuinely care about what the others are saying.In these families,communication is on a deep enough level that all members are able to share their feelings,goals,achievements and experiences.When some feedback and constructive criticism are given,love and affection are made clear by the use of positive words.
A family with a healthy relationship requires every single family member’s commitment.Family members hold family as a top priority and consider the impact on relatives before making important decisions.Family members are dependable and always there for each other in times of crisis. 3
A characteristic of a healthy family relationship is that they spend time doing enjoyable activities together. 4 Often,these activities become family traditions,such as sharing meals together,having family outings every weekend or playing sports together.
5 Family members accept that they each have their own personalities,qualities and interests.Everyone plays an important role in the family.When there is conflict between family members,it is solved in a positive and healthy manner.Family members also acknowledge each other’s achievements and show appreciation for other members.
A.Therefore,members do not feel they are on their own.
B.Family members share everything they have with each other.
C.Respect is an important characteristic of healthy family relationships.
D.It provides members with the support and encouragement that they need.
E.Family members tend to select activities that help the family to grow closer.
F.It is important to keep in mind that each family member is a unique individual.
G.Families with healthy relationships engage in positive and meaningful communication.
Passage 8
Studying smarter,not longer,matters now more than ever,with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own. 1 The good news:Science points to ones that really work.
Use pictures.Pay attention to drawings,graphics,charts and other visual aids in your class materials,psychologist Mark McDaniel says.“ 2 And if there aren’t pictures,creating them can be really,really useful.”
Find examples.Abstract concepts can be hard to understand.It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something,psychologist Cynthia Nebel says.For instance,sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid. 3 But if you think about a lemon or vinegar,it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.
4 Psychologist Nate Komell “definitely did cram(临时抱佛脚)” before big tests when he was a student.He still thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test.But research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day.Instead,allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.
Dig deeper.It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further.Ask why things are a certain way.How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration.“It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says. 5
Try adding just one new study skill each week or two.It may seem odd at first.But,by the time week two rolls around,it becomes a normal thing.
A.Reread books and notes.
B.Space out your studying.
C.They really boost your memory of the material.
D.Yet many students have never learned those skills.
E.In other words,don’t just accept facts at face value.
F.On its own,that concept might be hard to remember.
G.It’s like telling students to learn to swim by “just swimming”.
Passage 9
It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. 1
The first step is to find them.Go to YouTube and do a search for something like “official trailer”.Several film trailers will appear. 2 Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are.These films are usually humorous and relatable.To find animated films,try doing a search for something like “animated official trailer”.
Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions(字幕),which you will use later.You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video.It may be listed as “CC” or something else.Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube. 3
Next,watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions.Try to understand what the story is about overall.Then watch it again to seek more details. 4 It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.
5 Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions.This can help you in several ways.You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing,make clearer any dialogue you do not understand,and connect the sound of words with their spellings.You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone.
A.So choose newer videos.
B.You can choose some that look interesting.
C.They may sound a little strange at a slower speed.
D.With this method,you are testing your English skills.
E.Then watch the video again,this time with closed captions.
F.Besides,try using your notebook as you learn English in your everyday life.
G.Now let’s talk about steps you can take to get the most out of watching them.
Passage 10
Negative thinking leads to negative consequences.So how do we deal with that negative junk in our head The ways may be various,but they all have one idea in common: 1 External factors influence our lie to some degree,but it is mostly how we interpret external factors that has the greatest impact.Here is what we can do.
2 Do you want to catch a cold Stay with people with a cold.I am not sure whether the advice stands,but it is partly true.People are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to themselves.Poor people like to surround themselves with other poor people,and rich people with other rich people.Negative people are not optimistic.So make friends with positive people. 3
Accept and move on.Expecting everything to be perfect can be disturbing and it robs you of true happiness,so accept everything is not so perfect.Actually a meaningless thought is full of junk. 4 Then,go about your normal day and occupy your mind with an activity you love.
Mind your attitude.It starts the moment you wake up in the morning.Ask yourself:Do I want to be happy or miserable 5 If you intend to hold on to a negative frame of mind,you are inevitably choosing to be unhappy.If you want to achieve your own inner happiness,you are likely to cultivate it through good and uplifting thoughts.
A.We are our own masters.
B.The choice you make decides.
C.You should let go of it consciously.
D.Associate with like-minded people.
E.First,finish the assignment without any delay.
F.We probably release our stress by talking to others.
G.They often melt away all the negativity around them.
