Dearfriend,MynameisErick.Iam12-优题课

In a cold winter，a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy（破产）．The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife．So she thought，"He doesn't love me any more； he just thinks about his work．"

One day，she wanted to take a shower，but her husband stopped her at the door．"Let me take it first，OK？""Why not let me take it first？"she asked．"I'm tired，dear．You take it later，OK？"She was very sad．

An Australian dog called Maggie has passed away his week，and her owner thinks she may jus be the world's oldest dog．

Maggie lived on Brian McLaren's dairy farm（奶牛场） in Woolsthorpe，in southern Victoria，Australia．"We got her when she was only a little pup，just 8 week old．We believe she was 29 year old，"Mr．McLaren said．The McLaren said．The McLaren family brought Maggie home before their son started attending school．He is now 34．

"When the kids were growing up，they'd get of he school bus at 4：10 pm and if they were late，she'd be there barking（叫）at4：15，"Mr．McLaren said．

Maggie worked on the farm bringing Cow together un6il about 12 years ago．"She wasn't pampered（娇惯） but she was well looked after．She always had milk﹣but not too much of it．She loved her milk，"Mr．McLaren said．

"She loved running after the farm motorbike．When she was younger she would want to run along beside it，so the faster you went，the more quickly she would run．She had the greatest life．

Mr．McLaren said Maggie passed away peacefully．She died in her sleep on Sunday night．

"The last couple of weeks I was sad. I was going to have to put her down，and that was going to break my heart，"he said．"I'm so pleased she went the way she did．"

According to the Guinness World Records，the oldest age recorded for a dog is 29 years and five months﹣for another Australian working dog named Bluey．

When someone says that he has a good memory，he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it．When someone else says that his memory is poor，he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong．More clearly，our poor memory is our own fault，but not our parents'．The following is what I will discuss about it．

Give yourself time to form（形成）a memory．Memories are very fragilein a short time，and you may quickly forget something as a phone number．The key to avoiding losing memories before you can even form them is to be able to pay much attention to the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things．

Move your eyes from side to side．Studies show that moving your eyes from side to side for just 30 seconds once a day will exercise your brain and make your memory work more smoothly．Try this when you wake up in the morning．

Say things you want to remember aloud．If you're meeting a person and don't want to forget his or her name．Just repeat the name naturally after you learn it，"Hi，Sarah，it's nice to meet you．"This also works to remember an address or a meeting time．Just repeat it aloud to the person who invited you，"The Grand Tavern at 7？That sounds perfect．"

Using chunking．Chunking is a way of grouping things together to help you memorize them．Let's take a shopping list for example．You can chunk your list by the starting letter of each item（物品）； you need to pick up eggs，bread，butter，coffee and cheese from the store，remember one E，two B's and two C's．As long as you remember the correct numbers，you should be able to recall the items in each letter group．

Chunking is what we do when we list a phone number with dashes．Which looks easier to memorize，856459820 or 856﹣435﹣9820？You probably won't remember 17761812184818651898，but try putting a space after every fourth number．Now you can see that those numbers are years，and you can pick key events from each year to help you remember the number．

62．What's the main idea of the text？　　．

A．	Good or bad memories depend on one's parents．
B．	How and when to learn from others to exercise our memories．
C．	The ways that may make memories become better and better．
D．	Our memories will become better if we keep repeating something．

64．According to the writer，we can infer （推断）taht Sarah is most probably"your" 　　．

A．

65．Which of the following is doing chunking？　　

A．	Trying memorizing a lot of numbers by saying them aloud at a time．
B．	Listing all of the fruits together and the bread products together．
C．	Putting many important events into a telephone number．
D．	Moving our eyes from side to side in the morning．

Stores play music Lo change the way customers feel Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music．It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy．But music does more than that．I can change the way person shops．

According to studies，the volume（音量） of music changes how people shop．Customers shop quickly when store music is very loud．They hurry through the store，but they buy just as much．When music is quiet，customers shop slowly Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople．Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy．

Slow music makes people slow down．In restaurants with slow music，customers spend more time eating，Slow music also slows down customers in supermarkets．Customers notice more product as they walk through the store．With slow music in supermarkets，sales go up by 38 percent．

Familiar（熱悉的）music give shoppes a good idea of time．People know the beginning，middle，and end of a familiar song．When customers hear music that is not familiar，they don't notice the time．When they don't notice the time，they spend more time shopping and buy more．People remember past experiences and feeling when they hear familiar music．Many stores play old，happy music so customers feel good．When customers hear new music，they forget about the world outside of the store．Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop．

Stores choose music that fits their products，A bookstore plays quiet classical music and jazz（爵士乐）．It gives the store a serous and intelligent feeling．
