What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you heard thunder or watched a television programme? Adults seldom ___51___ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four ___52____ retain(记住) any specific, personal experiences.
　　 A variety of explanations have been ___53___ by psychologists for this “childhood amnesia”(儿童失忆症). One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature ___54___ about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot ___55___ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or ___56___ -- one event follows ___57___ as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental ___58___ for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find any that fit the __59___. It’s like trying to find a Chinese work in an English dictionary.
　　Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new __60___ for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren’t any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use __61___ spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term impressions of them into long-term memories. In other ___62___, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about ___63___ -- Mother talking about the afternoon __64___ looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this ___65___ reinforcement（强化）, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.

A
The sun was shining quite brightly as Ms Grant left her house, and she saw no need to take an umbrella with her. She got on the bus to take her into the town and before long it came on to rain. It had not stopped raining when the bus arrived at the marketplace half an hour later. Ms Grant stood up and absent-mindedly picked up the umbrella that was hanging on the seat in front of her. A cold voice said loudly: “That is mine, Madam!”
Suddenly remembering that she had come out without her umbrella, Ms Grant went red with embarrassment and apologized, trying at the same time to pay no attention to the unpleasant look the owner of the umbrella was giving her.
When she got off the bus, Ms Grant made straight for a shop where she could buy an umbrella.And it wasn’t long before she found a very pretty one. It was so pretty that she decided to buy another as a present for her daughter. She did the rest of her shopping and had lunch in a cafe.
In the afternoon she got on the homeward bus with the two umbrellas under her arm, and sat down. Then she saw that, by a curious coincidence , she was sitting next to the woman who had made her feel so uncomfortable that morning.
This woman now looked at her, then at the umbrellas, and said, “You’ve had quite a good day, I see!”
1. Ms Grant bought two umbrellas because ______.
A. it was raining and she liked the umbrella very much

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting lives happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals (both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget.
Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goals.
4. The author gave the example of two drivers to show ________.
　　A. the foolishness of the first driver
　　B. the importance of having a map and right direction
　　C. the foolishness of the second driver
　　D. the importance of setting goals
5. According to this text, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is to ________.
A. try to be realistic about one’s ability
B. have a clear understanding of what he or she wants in life
C. let others understand him or her first, then work together with them
D. let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true
6. If people want to reach their goals, they should ________.
A. write down their goals
　B. sign a contract with other people
　　C. face the difficulties in front of them
　　D. discuss with others and ask for their help
7. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Success is possible only when a person has clearly set his or her goal.
B. Winners never stop their efforts for success.
C. Failure always accompanies the people who gave up easily.
D. Whenever you set goals, you will succeed.
C
As much as we may want to protect children from all the terrible, horrible and very bad things in life, too often we don’t get a choice. These four new kids’ books serve as guides for a variety of difficulties and as important reminders that we have a choice in how we react to such trials. These stories introduce young readers to relatable characters who are processing and recovering from hardships and sorrows. Each book, in its own way, offers a guide for young readers who are facing their own struggles. Together, they teach a lesson for us all in resilience (还原能力）and hope.

A Hot Pot of Debate
The strong smell of the famous Sichuan cooking floods into local streets. Along with all the flavors, however, a wave of panic is in the air. Sichuan cuisine is facing a crisis.
It seems surprising to hear such concern, since Sichuan cuisine has been conquering the world and gaining considerable popularity abroad as China’s favorite out-of-home dining.
But according to some old and experienced cooks, the rapid growth has worsened the cuisine. Many cooks now are pursuing spicier and spicier food, ignoring the great variety of the cuisine. Thus, the simplification of tastes has created a crisis, sending a strong shocking wave into the time-honored but complex traditions. Early this year, I watched a young cook add green vegetable to Kung Pao Chicken, which should be a wonderful mix of chicken, peanuts, red chilies and spices.
However, voices from many young cooks throws light on the new demands on Sichuan cuisine in the modern time — “There’s no survival without innovation.” They hold the view that we do have to maintain the tradition, but it’s not a display in a museum. What makes sense is that although Sichuanese cooking is classified as one of the eight great cuisines of China, its roots are quite shallow, so after over several centuries of trade and migration, outsiders brought in a variety of new ingredients and cooking techniques. These influences combined only several generations ago to create an unusually tasty cuisine.
I believe the attractiveness of Sichuan cuisine is that it’s a big melting pot. Whatever is attractive in other cuisines, it can be absorbed and adapted to Sichuan cuisine. It’s not right to judge who is right and who is wrong, but it is clear that we should preserve the essence of tradition, while meeting modern expectations as well.

九、One possible version:
Relationships between Teachers and Students
A good relationship between teachers and students is essential to learning as well as teaching. Only with a good relationship can students and teachers cooperate well, that is, teachers can achieve the desired effect, and students can do well in their studies.
This ideal relationship depends on the mutual efforts of both sides. On the one hand, students should respect their teachers and their efforts and devotion. They must be polite to teachers and ready to follow their practical advice. On the other hand, teachers should not only be kind, friendly and patient to the students, but also treat every student fairly. They must be responsible for their teaching and ready to help the students in trouble.
If both sides treat each other in a friendly way, misunderstanding will be easily cleared up and the teaching and learning in class will have a high efficiency.
