I hardly have any good memories of my summer holidays two years ago. All I can remember is that I was busy doing drugs with my friends for most of the time. I said to myself that I would give up drugs before I went back to school，but when school started I was still addicted to them.

I went back to school like the other students but I had become a very different person. Most students came back to school with smiles on their faces，but not me. I became a different person that didn't care about anything but drugs. It was like I was walking around in a different body.

I went from being an above average student to a really bad student. I started to do things that I never thought I would do before -like bullying（恐吓）students，and fighting with people just because they looked at me in the wrong way. I rarely smiled or played sports like I used to. I was always moody and angry with my friends and teachers. I started to skip school（逃学）once or twice a week. No one seemed to care，so I was soon absent nearly everyday. I started stealing money from my parents and I lied to other people just to get some money for drugs. When my parents found out that I stole their money and sold their jewellery, they got really angry. I started to hang out with my drug addict friends for days and nights without going back home. I even slept by the side of the road and woke up without caring what people would think about me.

Now I have changed a lot. Drugs are terrible. Stay away from them.

1.Two years ago when the summer holiday was over, the author 　　　　 .

A.made many good friends B.was busy doing his school work

C.kept doing drugs D.gave up drugs

2.When the author was addicted to drugs, he 　　　　 .

A.went to school as usual B.became a top student in his class

C.didn't play sports as before D.liked to sleep by the side of the road

3.From the passage we can infer that once a person is addicted to drugs, 　　　　　　 .

A.it is difficult to give it up B.it is easy to get rid of it

C.it has no influence on his life D.it will be easy for him to steal money

B

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

Some people have very good memory（记忆力） and they can easily remember quite long texts. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them again and again. The famous English writer Charles Dickens said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men of the world have a wonderful memory.

A good memory is greatly helpful in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children, like the boys and girls who live abroad(国外) with their parents, seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because the students have so little time for it, and they are very busy with other subjects too.

What do you remember about your childhood? I have good memories of exploring(探测) the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park. Today, children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them fix their eyes on a screen either on a computer, or a TV ---they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.

Now 400 organizations in the UK are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too. Andy Simpson, who is part of the campaign(倡议活动), says: “An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day for all under 12-year-olds in the UK would be the equivalent(同等) of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors.” Even if the kids live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. However, children often need a helping hand from Mum and Dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go.

So despite(尽管) the complex(复杂的) world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground ” is what modern children need. Andy Simpson adds: “We want parents to see what this magical “playground” does for their kids’ development , independence and creativity(创造力) , by giving wild time a go ” . David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted. ”

1.What does the author think about the present kids?

A. They depend on their parents too much.

B. They’re eager to play with their parents.

C. They spend too much time playing outside.

D. They don’t get close to nature.

2.In the first paragraph, the underlined word “virtual ” probably　 refers to ______________ .

A. magical　　 　　 B. perfect　　 　　 C. unreal　　 　　 D. wonderful

3.What suggestion does David Bond give us?

A. Prevent kids from playing computer games.

B. Help children master basic skills.

C. Teach kids how to face difficulties.

D. Let children have more wild time.

4.What do we know about the author?

B. He had a happy childhood by exploring the outdoors.

C. He often went to school by riding on a bicycle.

D. He showed a great interest in watching TV.

Good news for people who have difficulty in remembering things. A memory technique invented by the ancient Greeks has recently been proved to be able to greatly improve ordinary people's memory ability. You may even become a memory champion if you practice hard enough.

This is according to a study published in the journal Neuron. Researchers fro

Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands found that memory champions aren't all that different to us. People with an average memory can greatly improve their memory ability by using what's known as the“ mind palace” method.

The method is the secret weapon (武器) of the fictional (虚构的) character Sherlock Holmes.

In order to do this, you need to picture a place you're familiar with, such as your living room. Then, you have to remember this place in as much detail as possible as this is your own mind palace.

Suppose you want to remember a shopping list. You can start by spreading out all the items around your living room in your mind. This means each item on your list is connected with a remembered place in your living room. You travel to that remembered place as you recall the list.

To explore the effects of this method on the brain, researchers gathered 51 participants with average memory levels and no previous memory training. After 40 days of daily 30-minute training sessions (一段时间), participants doubled the amount of words they could remember - they went from recalling an average of 26 words out of 72, to an impressive 62. Four months later, even without continued training, their recall performance remained high.

“Once you are familiar with these strategies and know how to apply them, you can keep your performance high without much further training,” Martin Dresler, assistant professor from Radboud University Medical Center, told the Daily Mail.

In addition, the training also affects the way our brain cells connect. After training, the way that the participants' brain cells connect began to be like those of memory champions compared to scans(扫描检查) taken before training. Researchers believe this could be responsible for their increased memory.

But what makes this research so fascinating is that it seems to prove that the talent to store things in your mind isn't down to genes. Dresler found there was no deference in brain structure between memory champions and normal people, which means memory champions are not born with different brains.

“They, without a single exception, trained for months and years using methods to achieve these high levels of performance,” Dresler told Science Daily.

It’s clear that more studies are needed to find out what's going on here, but the “mind palace” method might be your best bet to never forget an important name, date or appointment ever again.

1.The main purpose of the text is to_____

A. present a research on a memory improvement strategy

B. explore the secrets of memory champions

C. argue whether good memory is natural or trained

D. explain how a memory improvement strategy works.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the “mind place” method?

A. The method became popular because of Sherlock Holmes.

B. People need to draw a familiar place on paper before using the method.

C. The effects of this method are likely to fade when the raining stops

D. The method relies on a connection with a familiar environment to remember things.

3.What would Marin Dresler probably agree with?

A. People's memory level has a lot to do with their brain structure.

B. Memory champions are often born with outstanding memory ability

C. Memory training could change the way our brain cells connect.

D. With continued training, everyone can develop into a memory champion.
