词数335 完成时间7分钟 难度****
A bad Working Memory ( 大脑的工作记忆) – the brain's temporary storage box -- may
explain, new research suggests, why one child cannot read his or her history book and another gets
lost in math. As many as 10 percent of school-age children may suffer from poor working memory.
British researchers said in a report last week, yet the problem is rarely identified.
"You can think of working memory as a pure measure of your child's potential. Many
psychologists consider working memory to be the new IQ (智商), because we find that working
memory is one of the most important predictors (预示物) of learning ability,' said Dr. Tracey
Alloway of Britain‘s Durham University.
Many children with poor working memory are considered lazy or dull. Working memory
allows people to hold in their minds and deal with a few items, such as telephone numbers, over a
short period of time. Alloway compares working memory to a box. For adults, the basic box size is
thought to be three to five items. It's important, therefore, to put in the right things. Irrelevant (不
相关的) information will clutter working memory.
The question many researchers are struggling with is how to help children with this problem,
which appears to be closely, related to a lack of attention.
"In children with learning difficulties, it becomes a huge issue, especially around middle
school, when the demands on working memory really grow," said Dr. Mel Levine, co-founder of
All Kinds of Minds, a nonprofit organization in North Carolina that studies learning difficulties.
Memory training may help improve working memory. Alloway has a tool that allows teachers
to assess (评定)the working-memory capacity of children as young as 4; it has been used in 35
schools across Britain.
Levine‘s organization trains teachers through a program called Schools Attuned, which is
working with several thousand schools across the United States, Canada and Europe. While he is
not sure working memory can be expanded, Levine said children can be taught ways to do better
in school.
41. Which of the following is a characteristic of working memory?
A. It has a limited capacity.

My plan, based on some travelling information on the Internet, is to set off next weekend

for its beauty and mild temperature. We'll get there by train and stay there for 2 days, and then
we'll head for Jinggangshan, a former revolutionary base as well as a natural beauty spot. After a
3-day visit there, we will take a long-distance coach to a nearby port city by the Changjiang River
and board a downstream ship to Shanghai, so that we can enjoy the great scenery alongside the
third longest river in the world. As everybody knows, Shanghai is the busiest and fastest
developing city in China. I'd like to have a look at its prosperity, so the stay there will be about
half a week. A 4-day visit to these two cities near Shanghai is a must. All together, our trip will last

答案:
Dear Boohie,
Hi, I am a Chinese college student. In your blog, I know that you want a travel-mate who
will go with you to have a three-week trip in China.You also offer me some information in details
about the travel plan and other requirements about this trip.
I am absolutely delighted to get such a travel-mate from the USA. You can enjoy the
beauty of our country. Meanwhile, you will be my good helper to my English study.
I share your opinion about your plan. I have never been to Kunming, Jianggangshan, the
Changjiang River and Shanghai. This is my first trip with a native English speaker to travel in
China, which is of great help to improve my English. I also like to share the expenses with you
because I don't need to ask my parents for more money. And I have worked as a part-time guide
for two years during my college life, so I will be your ideal guide.
I am looking forward to your reply, and you will enjoy your journey in China.
Yours Truly,
LiHua
