Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 1.(help) if you say the words aloud. But this often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.

Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have come up 2.a new idea. They suggest 3.(draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!

The researchers did a study 4.(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 5.the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.

When the time 6.(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 7.they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 8.(good) job than those who wrote them.

So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 9.(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 10.(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each dav．we should be able to give an answer to the question．

It 1s the same in history．Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country．but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago，because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa，because they had not learned to write．

Sometimes，of coures，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs, dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung，acted and told for many generations，for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call”remembered history”．Some of it had been written down. If is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history,is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．

1.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history．is 1ess reliable．

B. Written records of the past play a most important role in our learning the human history．

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened in the past．

D．Where there are no written records of the past．there is no history．

2.Why do we know little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago?

A．There was nothing worth being written down at that time．

B．People there had not known how to write in those days．

C．The written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire．

D．People there ignored the importance of keeping a record．

3.”Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when________．

A．it is written down               B．it proves to be true

C．no written account is available D．people are interested in it

4.It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had________．

A．kept a written record of every past event

B．not burnt their written records in wars

C．told exact stories of the most important happenings

D．made more songs and dances

If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonnet and say, “Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.

Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back—thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he'd be doing someday, he would have laughed, “You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.

“I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”

One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called EI Segundo blue.

“I saw the sign ‘Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, “How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?” Bonner recalls. “Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass（放大镜）. “Look at the leaves.” I could see all these caterpillars（蝴蝶的幼虫）on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, “Without the plant, there are no butterflies.”

Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.

The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Matoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.

For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

1.Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he ________.

A. found the butterfly had died out

A. made Bonner famous　　 B. changes Bonnet’s life
