Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is all wrong.
Here's a list of tips from Carey, a sc ientist, for getting the most out of your study time：
Test yourself：Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”
Move around: Changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming…multiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. So it's better organized in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”
Mix it up：Think about a football player who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs, say, isn't as effective.
Space it out：Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. Carey lik es cramming your brain to speed-packing a cheap suitcase—it all falls out. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There's no doubt you can cram your way through an exam,” Carey says. The problem is that it's so easy to forget what you just crammed—and once it's gone, Carey says, “It's gone. You're not getting it back.”
Of course, nothing can replace the power of motivation and discipline. But Carey says the overall message is encouraging：“Studying can sort of be incorporated into a more varied life, much more easily than we thought.”According to the text, the best way to learn is ________．
| A．to learn one's subject at a time in a quiet place |
| B．to be strongly motivated to learn something |
| C．to mix up everything that you will learn |
| D．to do self-tests after you learn immediately |
Why are you advised to move around while learning?
| A．Because it can make your brain focus on learning. |
| B．Because you can save time by missing the same words. |
| C．Because you can connect materials with different things. |
| D．Because it keeps your brain in a completely resting state. |
How did the writer develop the fifth paragraph?
| A．By telling an interesting story. |
| B．By presenting in the time order. |
| C．By analyzing causes and effects. |
| D．By making a comparison. |
It can be inferred from what Carey said in the third paragraph that ________．
| A．tests used to be treated as a tool to judge learners |
| B．tests would slow down your study |
| C．tests were the best way to learn new information |
| D．tests do good to you more than learning itself |
The bee，like the ant，is a social insect（昆虫）.Bees live in large groups in box-like houses called hives or beehives.Every bee does a certain job that helps the other members of th
e group.In a beehive there live three kinds of bees:the queen bee，the male bees and the worker bees.The worker bees are born to be hard-working，flying from flower to flower collecting nectar（花蜜），which is made up mostly of sugar mixed with water.Bees draw this nectar into their honey bags where some sort of liquid in their bodies turns the nectar into honey.The newly made honey flows slowly from the bees’ underside and then is stored in small cells in the hive.When the weather turns cold，and there are no flowers for them to collect nectar，the stored honey will see them through the winter months.People who raise bees and depend on bees for a living are thought of as beekeepers.A bee-keeper usually keeps hundreds of hives，and removes honey from hives and keeps it in glass bottles or jars.Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid，but this lie
s in the sort of flowers from which bees have taken the nectar.

Two scientists in California now think they can find out a person’s real age.Jeffery Bada and Patricia Masters do chemical tests on teeth.When we are born the amino acids（氨基酸）in our teeth are in one form.Then，as we grow older these amino acids change into a second form.Every year，one thousandth of the amino acids changed.So，by testing just one tooth and counting the number of amino acids in each form，Bada and Masters can work out a person’s age.They tested a tooth from the body of an Eskimo（爱斯基摩人）woman who died 1 600 years ago.From the appearance of her body，she was between 50 and 60 years old when she died.The tooth test put her age at 53.Then the Russian Government sent them a tooth from an old man in Georgia.The tooth said she was 99.Her real age was 96.The Russians are now hoping to send more teeth，from the very old people without birth certificates（出生证明书）.But there are problems.Some of the centenarians（百岁老人）have lost all their teeth.The others want to keep their teeth until they drop out naturally.So the Russian Government and the American scientists have to wait and hope.
61.Jeffery Bada and Patricia Masters believe that they can tell a person’s age according to_______.
A.an experiment on his bone
B.the shape and condition of his teeth
C.a test on the amino acids within his body

C.Amino acids in one teeth changes without affecting their forms.
D.Scientists no
w can tell how long a person will live by testing his teeth.
63.Why are the two scientists asked to find out some very old Russians’ age?
A.Because the Government wants to know how long these old people can live.
B.Because they have no birth certificates.
C.Be
cause people who have tooth problems tend to live longer.
D.Because the Government wants to know their dates of birth and death.
64.In order to find out the exact age of some people over 100，both the Russian Government and American scientists_______.
A.should wait until all of them die

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect（影响）American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior（行为） is suitable（合适）at various , ages.
A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
67．It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country’s social development
68．The underlined word “one” refers to ________ .
A. a society B. America
C. a place D. population
69．“Act your age” means people should ________ .
A. be active when they are old

C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
70．If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ________ .
A. normal B. wonderful
C. unbelievable D. unreasonable

From the very beginning, Martin felt that he was bound up with（与……紧紧地在一起）his lovely little patient. One day, following some tests , Betty gave the doctor a big hug（拥抱）.
A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour（肿瘤）, but also the entire lower left side of Betty’s gum（牙龈）and jawbone. Because Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.
Within three months, Betty’s tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate （ =" thin;" not strong）face. Soon she couldn’t even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Betty ‘s weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15. Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.
