The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinnertime came, he didn't go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well. ‎ ‎ The next morning he still didn't have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel (争执). ‎ ‎"Bring me the bill," he said.

They must be able to read and they must be able to write. And with so much information available to them these days, they must be able to read quickly and accurately. That’s why your children need to be able to speed-read. ‎ It’s ironic (讽刺的) that at this time of space-age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication—the written word.

It will encourage them to work for a higher pursuit.‎ D. They will have good memories of time spent with parents.‎ D ‎ As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory".‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎12. The passage begins with two questions to ___________________. ‎ ‎ A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information ‎13. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. ‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ C. The first group did not try to remember the information. ‎ D. The second group did not understand the information.‎ ‎14. In transactive memory, people ___________________.‎ A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information ‎ C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information ‎15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ‎ A. We are using memory differently B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to get information.‎ 第二节 七选五（每小题2分，共10分）‎ Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language，such as English? 16．‎ ‎■ Be patient.‎ You do not have to understand everything all at once.17．We can learn from our mistakes.‎ ‎■ Practice your English.‎ For example, write in a journal every day.
