         Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had
    forgotten her name.
         Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn't
    remember where she'd put them.
         Perhaps you've had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven't
    realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory
    can be improved. If you'll just accept that, the following will show you how.
         First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you'll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that
    your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things. When you forget
    something, don't follow up with saying like "Oh, my god! I always forget things!" Such words will have a
    bad result on you and your memory.
         But relaxing isn't enough. To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your
    body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your
    memory. For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.
         If you don't take notice of things actively, you won't remember them. So, you can make pictures of
    what you see in your mind every day. For example, don't just put your keys down! If you want to find
    them again, make a mind picture of the place where you're putting them.
    1.   The first two paragraphs just tell us             .
    A. Barbara was a very rich person.        
    B. examples of memory problems
    C. Mark often forgot his friends' names    
    D. language problems of two persons
    2.When you forget things, you _______.
    A. must be too careless                        
    B. shouldn't take notice of the result
    C. must accept the fact                        
    D. shouldn't lose heart about your memory
    3.The word "opportunities" in the fifth paragraph means "_______."
    A. places            
    B. doctors.              
    C. chances            
    D. positions
    4. According to the passage, _____ can make your memory better.
    A. realizing your memory problems      
    B. talking to your friends
    C. doing sports every day                      
    D. making mind pictures of what you see
    5.The purpose of the passage is to help you ______.
    A. to introduce the guest                        
    B. to improve your memory
    C. to remember new words                
    D. to forget unhappy things

         BEIJING-Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  
    network compatibility (兼容) for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics
    giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion.
         According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with
    third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for
    the company to begin official sales in China. The device, listed under model number "A1396", is
    compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by
    Apple's local iPhone partner, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
           China Unicom declined  to comment.
           Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers
    Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland. Still, consumers in China, which according to
    research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world's largest PC market in the second quarter, have been
    purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.
           Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said on Sept 6 that the company's first Hong Kong
    store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city's central shopping and business district in the
    International Finance Center's upscale (高档的) IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot
    along the city's waterfront. Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter,
    which will be its biggest store in China. She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.
           Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of
    any Apple stores in the world. The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the
    market.
           The new stores reflect Apple's confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones
    and tablet computers. Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost (增长) the
    company's third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July. China revenue (收益) surged (激增) six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.
           "This has been a substantial (重大) opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we're just
    scratching the surface right now," Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China. "I see an
    incredible opportunity for Apple there."
           From China Daily 2011-09-08
    1. According to the news, which of the following statements is true?     
    A. WCDMA is not the only 3G standard in the world.
    B. Apple Inc sells its products in the market of the Chinese mainland all by its own stores.
    C. The consumers in China can only get iPad2 of Wi-Fi versions.
    D. Chinese mainland is the second largest PC market in this year's second quarter.
    2. Which one of the following phrases can replace the underlined word in paragraph 1?
    A. in the interests of    
    B. in the front of    
    C. in the process of        
    D. in the case of
    3. How many full-service Apple stores are there in China?   
    A. 4.            
    B . 6.            
    C. 8.          
    D. Unknown.
    4. By saying "we're just scratching the surface right now", Cook means ________.    
    A. they don't know much about China's market
    B. they will sell more products and gain more profit in China
    C. they need to obtain more permission from China's government
    D. they ignored the rural market in China

         Music lessons may improve memory and learning ability in your children by promoting different
    patterns of brain development, a study shows.
         After a year of musical training, children aged between 4 and 6 performed better at a standard
    memory test than did children who were not taught music. The findings suggest that music could be
    useful for building the learning capacity of your minds.
         Earlier studies have shown that older children given music lessons become better at IQ tests than
    those who are musically untrained, but this is the first to show such a benefit in children so young.
         Professor Laurek Trainor, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, also found clear differences
    in the ways in which children's brains responded to sound after a year of musical training.' This is the
    first study to show that brain responses in young, musically trained and untrained children change
    differently over the course of a year," she said. "These changes are likely to be related to the cognitive
    ( 认知的 )benefit that is seen with musical training."
         Professor Trainer's team looked at 12 children, 6 of whom had just started extra-curricular (课程
    外) music lessons and 6 of whom were not being taught any music except that included as a standard
    part of their school curriculum (课程标准) .
         During the year all 12 children had their brains examined four times using magneto-encephalography
    (MEG), and each child was played two types of sound -white noise and a violin tone. The MEG
    measurements showed that all children responded more to violin sounds than to white noise, reflecting
    a preferable for meaningful tones, and their response times fell over the course of the year as their brains
    matured.
    1. This passage is mainly about ____. 
    A. why music lessons are good for the memory
    B. the benefit from extra-curricular training for younger children
    C. a study on twelve young children's brains
    D. new technology to examine children's brains
    2. It can be concluded from the text that ____.  
    A. the study is the first one on the effect of musical training on children's brains
    B. scientists got no valuable results from the earlier studies on the topic
    C. children musically trained remember things better than those untrained
    D. older children get more benefit from musical training than younger ones
    3. What do we know about the twelve children tested in the study?    
    A. None of them had been musically trained before.
    B. Only 6 of them had a knowledge of music before.
    C. Not all of them had been taught some music in school.
    D. All of them were required to learn some music in school.
    4. We know from the MEG measurements that ____.   
    A. the older a child is, the more quickly he/she responds to sounds
    B. human brains prefer musical sounds to white noise
    C. children of different ages respond to sounds at the same speed
    D. all the twelve children like to learn to play the violin very much

         We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was
    a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it's an
    ingredient (配料) in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and
    pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices (香料) like chili peppers.
         Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say "Ugh!" and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.
         The word "chocolate" comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived
    in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to
    make a drink.
         When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too.
    Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding
    sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao
    and said it was good for the digestion.
         In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter
    taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first
    solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People
    liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
         Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip
    cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge
    sauce.
    1. It was _____that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.     
    A. The workers in the chocolate factory        
    B. The Spaniards
    C.  The people in England                         
    D. The owner of a chocolate factory

    A. it was strong and bitter.                          
    B. it was good for digestion.
    C. it cured man's diseases.                            
    D. it was a kind of drink for good health.
    3.Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?
           a. Chocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.
           b. A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.
           c. The Spaniards started drinking cacao.

    A. chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar
    B. Mexicans like chocolate very much
