How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in their useless regrets.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities for them to make a living. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What's more, life is always giving new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too common for them. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.

When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society just as he used to break the rules of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

1.According to paragraph 2, the writer thinks that ______________.

A. life for a child is fairly easy

B. only children are interested in life

C. a child is always loved whatever he does

D. if much is given to a child, he must do something to pay back

2.A young man ___________　 if he expects to live in the way he wants.

A. should lose his heart to his work

B. should try to keep out of trouble

C. should spend most of his time enjoying himself

D. should build up his own position in society for himself

3.The main idea of the passage is that ______________.

A. children's time is the most enjoyable in one's life

B. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains

C. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard

D. one can enjoy what each age gives him though there are some pains

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents.

高一英语信息匹配简单题查看答案及解析

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as even when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

1.What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

A. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.

C. People remember well what they learned in childhood.

D. Stories for children are easy to remember.

2.The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.

A. presenting research findings　　 B. setting down general rules

C. making a comparison　　 D. using examples

3.According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.

A. a result of overlearning　　 B. a special case of cramming

C. a skill to deal with math problems　　 D. a basic step towards advanced studies

4.What is the author's opinion on cramming?

A. It leads to failure in college exams.　　 B. It's helpful only in a limited way.

C. It's possible to result in poor memory.　　 D. It increases students' learning interest.
