（A）
Taking
photographs
at
a
birthday
or
a
wedding
has
become
as
natural
as
blowing
out
candles
or
cutting
the
cake.But
our
obsession
with
recording
every
detail
of
our
happiest
moments
could
be
damaging
our
ability
to
remember
them,according
to
a
new
research.A
study
has
shown
that
taking
pictures
rather
than
concentrating
fully
on
the
events
in
front
of
us
prevents
memories
taking
hold.
Dr.Linda
Henkel,from
Fairfield
University,Connecticut,described
it
as
the
“photo-taking
impairment
effect”.She
said,“People
often
pull
out
their
cameras
almost
mindlessly
to
capture
a
moment,to
the
point
where
they
are
missing
what
is
happening
right
in
front
of
them.When
people
rely
on
technology
to
remember
for
them—counting
on
the
camera
to
record
the
event
and
thus
not
needing
to
attend
to
it
fully
themselves—it
can
have
a
negative
impact
on
how
well
they
remember
their
experiences.”
Dr.Henkel
and
her
team
carried
out
an
experiment
in
a
museum
to
learn
if
taking
pictures
of
the
exhibits
was
hindering
the
ability
of
visitors
to
remember
what
they
had
seen.
A
group
of
university
students
were
led
on
a
tour
at
the
Bellarmine
Museum
of
Art
at
Fairfield
University
and
were
asked
to
either
photograph
or
try
and
remember
objects
on
display.The
next
day
their
memory
was
tested.The
results
showed
that
people
were
less
accurate
in
recognizing
the
objects
they
had
photographed
than
those
they
had
only
looked
at.It
was
found
that
their
memory
for
the
details
of
the
objects
they
had
photographed
was
poorer.
Henkel’s
lab
is
currently
investigating
whether
the
content
of
a
photo,such
as
whether
you
are
in
it,affects
memory.She
is
also
researching
whether
actively
choosing
what
to
photograph
might
influence
what
we
remember.
Previous
research
suggests
that
reviewing
photos
we
have
taken
does
help
us
remember
objects,but
only
if
we
take
the
time.
“Research
has
suggested
that
the
sheer
volume
and
lack
of
organization
of
digital
photos
for
personal
memories
discourages
many
people
from
accessing
and
recalling
them.In
order
to
remember,we
have
to
access
and
interact
with
the
photos,rather
than
just
collect
them,”
said
Dr.Henkel.
1.What
does
the
underlined
word
“them”
in
the
first
paragraph
refer
to?
A.Gifts
at
a
birthday.
B.People
who
go
to
parties.
C.Photos
taken
at
a
wedding.
D.Details
of
the
happiest
moments.
2.What
is
the
“photo-taking
impairment
effect”?
A.Some
unhappy
events
may
impair
the
effects
of
photos.
B.Taking
photographs
of
objects
ruins
one’s
memory
of
them.
C.The
effects
of
photos
are
strongly
affected
by
bad
cameras.
D.Memories
last
forever
when
people
take
the
photos
they
like
most.
3.What
can
we
learn
about
Dr.Linda
Henkel’s
study?
A.A
group
of
high
school
students
were
involved.
B.The
memory
of
participants
was
tested
the
following
week.
C.People
who
just
looked
at
the
objects
remembered
fewer
details.
D.People
who
photographed
objects
were
worse
at
recognizing
them.
4.With
which
of
the
following
may
Dr.Linda
Henkel
agree?
A.Reviewing
photos
improves
memories
of
objects.
B.Focusing
on
people
at
events
is
the
best
way
to
remember.
C.Relying
on
technology
to
remember
affects
the
memory.
D.Counting
on
cameras
to
record
events
is
always
reliable.

Jenny
was
a
pretty
five-year-old
girl.One

when
she

her

（A）
Is
it
true
that
British
people
have
a
different
sense
of
humor
than
people
in
other
countries?
Let’s
have
a
look
at
what
we
laugh
at
in
Britain.
1．
It’s
not
just
politicians
who
make
us
laugh,
but
anyone
whose
job
is
to
tell
other
people
what
to
do
and
who
takes
themselves
too
seriously.
We
laugh
at
authority,
but
also
sympathetically
laugh
with
anyone
who
we
think
is
treated
badly.
2．
Our
clowns
are
often
silly
people
doing
silly
things—Mr
Bean,
for
example—while
in
America,
they
are
often
clever
people
doing
clever
things
and
winning.
The
fact
that
we
laugh
when
other
people
might
feel
hopeless
is
one
of
the
oddest
things
to
appreciate
about
British
humor.
We
do
have
a
strong
sense
of
irony
(反讽).
“Not
very
pleasant,”
we
might
say
after
some
terrible
experience.
3．
“It’s
a
bit
windy
today”
we
might
say
in
the
middle
of
a
typhoon,
or
“There’s
a
slight
problem,”
when
something
has
gone
very
seriously
wrong.
4．
Another
thing
that
can
make
it
difficult
to
understand
British
humor
is
that
we
don’t
always
laugh
or
even
smile
when
we
say
something
funny.
5．
Do
you
think
the
British
sense
of
humor
is
unique?
A．In
addition,we
tend
to
play
things
down.
B．We
often
keep
a
straight
face
even
when
we’re
making
a
joke.
C．Culture
plays
a
big
part
in
how
funny
you
may
find
something.
D．We
know
they
can’
t
win,but
if
they
do
so
sometimes,it’s
even
funnier.
E.Brits
don’t
express
extreme
feelings;we
just“keep
calm
and
carry
on”.
F.Brits
turn
to
laughter
as
a
form
of
medicine
when
life
knocks
them
down.
G.To
the
British,powerful
and
important
people
are
often
sources
of
laughter.
（B）
Leadership
lessons
from
Singapore
The
COVID-19
outbreak
is
causing
alarm
around
the
world,
but
here
in
Singapore,
the
small
island
country
has
managed
to
mostly
contain
the
spread
quite
rapidly.
1．
Learning
from
the
past
--
ready
for
the
future.
“Here
is
your
key
card,
office
key
and
personal
thermometer,”
said
the
university
administrator
when
I
started
teaching
many
years
ago.
I
was
puzzled
with
the
thermometer
as
a
standard-issue
device
for
every
employee.
2．
Since
I
was
not
here
during
the
2003
SARS
outbreak,
I
never
appreciated
the
importance
of
having
a
thermometer
in
my
desk
drawer,
but
now
I
use
it
twice
daily.
3．
“Every
instructor
must
complete
the
training
for
delivering
their
courses
online
in
case
of
emergency,”
the
university
told
us
over
seven
years
ago.
It
seemed
a
bit
unnecessary
at
the
time.
But
all
of
us
completed
the
training
--
and
were
retested
each
semester.
Who
would
have
thought
that
in
2020
we
would
need
to
shift
more
than
1,000
courses
online
with
less
than
12
hours'
notice!
That
could
not
have
been
accomplished
without
the
previous
efforts.
Clarifying
expectations
--
universal
diligence.
“Stop
right
there!
Give
me
10
feet
and
then
you
can
come
by,”
says
my
colleague
as
I
meet
her
in
the
common
hallway.
4．
Large
gatherings
are
canceled
and
restaurants
are
empty
as
we
all
spend
more
time
at
home
to
avoid
interactions
with
others.
To
enter
a
mall,
restaurant
or
any
building
on
our
campus,
you
must
pass
a
temperature
screening
and
often
record
your
presence.
5．
In
spite
of
the
global
crisis,
classes
and
university
operations
have
continued
without
disruption.
A．The
virus
is
hard
to
contain.
B．Planning
alternatives
--
the
ability
to
move
quickly.
C．As
a
witness,
I
must
share
a
few
leadership
lessons.
D．The
nation’s
readiness
for
emergencies
helps
to
fight
the
virus.
E.
How
often
do
we
really
take
lessons
from
the
past
to
protect
our
future?
F.
In
fact,
I
once
joked
that
they
should
also
give
us
a
snorkel(水肺)
in
case
of
tsunamis.
G.
We
are
still
friends,
but
it
is
our
responsibility
to
avoid
unnecessary
human
contact.
