It is common to consider learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to affect the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later outputs knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

1.判断作者思想观点题。文章第一段,“人们通常认为学习是发生在学校里的事,但人们所学的很多东西是教室外的东西,甚至从出生就已经开始,并且学习贯穿的人的一生。”可见,作者认为学习是一生的学习,终身的学习。故答案为A。
2.词义猜测题。分析siblings前后的词语parents, grandparents, friends, 可以推出siblings的意思不可能是doctors, 再由下文 “When they enter school, ….”,可以推出此时他们还不是学生, siblings的意思也不可能是teachers, classmates, 故可以排除A、B、C三项。Siblings的意思为 “兄弟姐妹”。
3.句意理解题。文章第三段中 “When they enter school,…They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished.”可知,孩子们学习什么样的行为可能得到奖励,什么样的行为可能受到惩罚, 也就是孩子们在这个阶段应该学会怎样举止得当。故答案为C。
4.正误判断题。由文章第二段首句 “Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects.”可知,学习是从儿童时期开始的,A项表述错误,符合题意,为正确答案。B、C、D三项分别从文章第三段的二、三、四句找到明确的表述。
5.段落大意题。文章最后一段,“研究记忆的心理学家们对于大脑如何储存知识,这种储存发生在什么时候,以及当我们需要这些知识时大脑如何想起来等等问题很感兴趣。比较而言,研究学习的心理学家们则对于行为以及由于人们的经历怎样改变了行为等问题更感兴趣。”可见,本段主要讲述了两类心理学家以及他们所感兴趣的问题。涉及到了学习、大脑和行为的关系。

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call comm.unicates its importance.  

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 

60. "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means _____.

A. taken       B. drawn        C. given          D. shown

61. According to this passage, time plays an importantt role in _____.  

A. everyday life                    B. school life

C. communication                    D. private life

62. The best title for this passage is _____.

A. The Voice of Time

B. The Importance of Time

C. The Importance of an Announcement 

D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man

63. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?  

A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A..

B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at eight because it costs much less.

D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.

Wherever you went in the large hall, people were talking about the same thing. The PT/ Wireless and Networks Comm. China(中国国际通信设备技术博览会)held in Beijing last year was the biggest telecom exhibition in Asia.There were 400 representatives from 21 countries. But everyone was speaking the language of technology and there was only one word on their lips-3G.  

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry Data speeds in 3G networks are much quicker than present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.

“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option—it’s a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of US communications company Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.

       With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.

       Face-to-face video calls

       And don’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.

       However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.

       Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the UK Government awarded five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy four years later.

       International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial phase before the phones can finally hit the shops.

“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,”said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile.“We expect that the 3G licenses will be given out late next year.”

       D.make face-to-face video telephone calls

       A.It can provide video news programs, updated four times a day.
