Memory， they say， is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious （有意识的） effort， then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful， there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week， for example， I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night， yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month， for example， I was sitting in a barbershop（ 理发店） waiting for my turn to get a haircut， and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents（事件） caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years. Unfortunately， however， absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.

When our son, Alex, was young, he hated to travel. We endured refusals to visit one more museum, even if it was the Louvre. We coped with a child who resisted even a taste of onion soup in Paris and who insisted he would like nothing more than ordering room service at the hotel and watching TV.
Over the years, we have come up with several hard-earned but realistic strategies to help kids cope on long-distance trips.
First, we recognize that some children have trouble adjusting to new environments, food, time zones and schedules. So, in advance of a trip to England, we gave our son a taste of the new culture by making shepherd’s pie for supper. He loved the mashed potatoes, chopped meat and brown gravy（肉汁）. For Italy, we sampled homemade pesto（香蒜沙司） served over linguine（扁面条）. For Amsterdam, I cooked up a pot of comforting pea soup and baked a delicious apple pancake called pannekoeken. Then, when we traveled to these places, he ate these foods and they seemed like a taste of home.
In addition to food, we always sample the culture beforehand by reading books and renting movies from the countries we will be visiting. For Italy, the book Italian Folktales by Italo Calvino and the films Johnny Stecchino, Cinema Paradiso, and Il Postino gave our son a glimpse of the Italian way of life. For Britain, we rented Mr. Bean and Billy Elliot, and enjoyed stories by J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit. For Amsterdam, he finished The Diary of Anne Frank.
Before we leave home, we also ask Alex to go through our tour books and pick out activities that appeal to him. He was excited about visiting the London Dungeon and the Imperial War Museum, and taking a ride in the London Eye. They turned out to be big hits. Because Alex’s preferences were given equal attention, he was more tolerant of his parents’ selections, such as visiting Charters Cathedral and the Van Gogh Museum.
We’ve also learned the hard way that dragging our son out of bed early in the morning ,thus making him grumpy all day. Now that he is a teenager, we let him sleep in while we sip coffee at a café, work out at the hotel gym, or take a long walk. This makes our time together much more enjoyable
59．According to the writer, parents are advised to _______.
A. cook children’s favorite food
B. postpone traveling until the kids are in college
C. allow their kids a ride in the London Eye
D. take children’s interest and preferences into account
60．Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino are mentioned as _______.
A. particular desires of children B. an approach to interest the future possible visit
C. highly appreciated films for tourists D. comfortable activities children could pick out
61．The underlined word “grumpy” in the last paragraph is similar in meaning to _______.
A. bad-tempered B. tolerant C. energetic D. nervous
62．Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?
A. Kids and Parents. B. Joys of Traveling.
C. Whether You Go or Not. D. How to motivate Kids to travel

It is known to all that nothing is much precious than time. A famous saying goes, “Time is money”, which shows that time is invaluable. When time is gone, it will never return back. But it is pity that some people didn’t make full use of their time. They spend a lot of time sleep, chatting or playing computer game. They don’t realize that wasting time is actual equal to killing themselves. We always regret not having made great achievements. However, to be successful, they should first form the habit of being on time. Don’t put down what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead to failure.

科目：高中英语 来源：2010-2011学年江西省高三上学期第一次月考英语卷 题型：阅读理解
The use of the word imitation（模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime（犯罪） or violence．First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous．For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail．This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons．
In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted（请教） before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown．When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime．
Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi．made by Jules Dassin in 1954．This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound．．．one of the most brilliant film sequences（连续镜头） of all time．I remember our discussion at the time．We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe．When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong．
1.The writer thinks that______．
|
A．the details of the criminal technique should be kept |
|
B．the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen |
|
C．children should not imitate what they see on the screen |
|
D．it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen |
2.What is the writer’s attitude（态度） towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?
|
A．The writer likes it very much． |
|
B．The writer is strongly against it． |
|
C．The writer thinks the film has some value． |
|
D．The writer does not show his/her attitude． |
3.All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______．
|
A．that the robbery shown needs experience and skills |
|
B．that some very good tools were used in the robbery |
|
C．that the film showed the technique in detail |
|
D．that the technique of the robbery was not imitated |
4.It can be inferred from the passage that______．
|
A．it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary |
|
B．only people in prison support film checking |
|
C．only children imitate what they have seen on the screen |
|
D．the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown |
