    Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
    Recite and repeat in conversation.
    When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
    Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
    You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
    Admit you don’t know.
    Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
    Use connections.
    Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair." To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
    Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
    When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
    Go early.
    Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others --- an automatic review for you.

    Uganda is a country in East Africa and,as in many such countries,a high percentage of the population,about 80 percent,are village-dwellers living in huts,which are often no bigger than a garage. The walls of the huts are made of mud,which is held together by reeds and sticks,and the roofs of the older ones are thatched（覆盖）with grass,although an increasing number of newer village houses have roofs made from corrugated（波纹形的）iron.
    Several generations of the same family live together in the huts,which are usually divided into two sections by a curtain. The inner section,the one furthest from the open door of the hut,is where everyone sleeps and food is prepared and served in the outer part. If the family owns chickens or goats,they are kept in a small room attached to the main house.
    Food is usually prepared on open fires although some people prefer to cook inside. However,this is quite dangerous and also means that the walls of the hut are stained by smoke and the atmosphere is acrid. The family sit in a circle on mats while they eat.
    Newer village houses are almost always made of corrugated iron and are bigger,with one or two separate bedrooms and the kitchen in a smaller building beside the main house. But,old or new,the houses are not powered by electricity,and all homes are lit by paraffin（石蜡）candles called “tadobba”.
    Nor is there any running water in the houses. Some villages have their own well,but in many cases,collecting water involves a long and arduous walk to a river or spring,carrying plastic containers or pots made of clay.
    Children are the ones who have to fetch water,and they have to do this early in the morning before they go to school,or in the evening when they come home. They often have to climb high hills or walk through valleys with narrow paths through dense vegetation. It is no surprise that they grow up muscular and fit after such daily exercise,walking for several kilometres carrying such heavy weights.
    小题1:Most Ugandans live        .
    A．with their whole family in large mud houses in the countryside
    B．in towns in small houses made of mud and iron
    C．in villages in small houses made of wet earth,grass and wood
    D．With their parents and children as well as their chickens and goats
    小题2:Where is food usually prepared?
    A．In the kitchen.
    B．On the floor in the middle of the house.
    C．On fires in front of the hut.
    D．In a small room attached to the main house.
    小题3:How are the old and new houses the same?
    A．Both of them have roofs made of corrugated iron.
    B．Neither of them have a garage or kitchen.
    C．Neither of them have electricity,lights or running water.
    D．Both of them have water inside but no electric light.
    小题4:The majority of Ugandan children have to          .
    A．go to a well or a river and often carry it for a long distance
    B．do a lot of work cooking and carrying water
    C．collect water on the way home from school
    D．get water out of their own well

    If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.
    Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.
    They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.
    Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.
    People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
    A fridge full of vitamins — enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.
    A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.
    Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.
    Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.
    小题1:What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
    A．Some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges.
    B．People don’t want others to know about their secrets.
    C．The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality.
    D．There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people.
    小题2:According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest_________.  
    A．don’t care much about money when buying things
    B．will try their best to stay healthy
    C．often stay up late to finish their job
    D．prefer to ask others about what to do next
    小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．“Nutrition nerds” are always organized and successful in their jobs.
    B．“Food faddists” like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins.
    C．“Martyr mums” care themselves more than others.
    D．“Fast food fanatics” usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit.
    小题4:What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?
    A．All kinds of food they like.
    B．Only something to drink.
    C．Fruit, vegetables and meat.
    D．Food rich in vitamins.
    小题5:What is this passage mainly about?
    A．What people store in their fridges.
    B．Fridge contents and its owner’s secret.
    C．What we should store in our fridges.
    D．How to keep our fridge contents secret.

    “Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
    Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic(蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
    Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
    Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated(积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
    小题1:The author develops the third paragraph mainly         .
    A．by cause and effectB．by order in space
    C．by examplesD．by order in time
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A．Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
    B．Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
    C．Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
    D．Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.
    小题3:What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives’ tales” in the text?
    A．Objective.B．Subjective.C．Dissatisfied.D．Curious.
    小题4:The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “     .”
    A．to be valuableB．to be believable
    C．to be admirableD．to be suitable

    Are you the type of person who always says“yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very im-portant to learn to say NO！It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
    I，m not saying to say“no" to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about re-fusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
    Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
    So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting（by the way，it is not one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.
    If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re some-one who always says“yes" then that’s what they，re expecting.
    You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to ful-fill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
    小题1:Which of the following statements would the writer agree with？
    A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
    B．We should help others in need.
    C．Always saying“yes" means you are dishonest.
    D．Always saying“no" means you are brave.
    小题2:What does the underlined word，’ It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
    A．Saying "yes"．
    B．A friend's birthday party.
    C．Something you’re unwilling to do.
    D．Something you think difficult to do.
    小题3:The writer believes that if you say“no" to your family members，you’11＿·
    A．have the same relationship with them as before
    B．have a loose relationship with them
    C．disappoint them
    D．upset them
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Learn to Make a Right Choice B．To Be Yourself
    C．Do What You Want to Do D．Learn to Say No

    Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.
    The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.
    One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
    Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrugfor an answer.
    Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.
    小题1:This passage gives us some advice on_______.
    A．how to make friends
    B．what kind of person you can make friends with

    British Summer Time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. In the depths of winter the nights in the UK are anything from 15-19 hours long. Longer nights mean frost and fog are more likely to form.
    Twice a year the clocks change, forward in the spring and then back again in the autumn. But why? It happens twice a year. We all change our clocks and watches by one hour. In the spring, we add an hour, and go onto what is called British Summer Time, while in the autumn, we do the reverse, and return to Greenwich Mean Time.
    Why bother?
    It’s all to do with saving the hours of daylight, and was started by a guy called William Willett, a London builder, who lived in Petts Wood in Kent. Basically, he figured that you could improve the population’s health and happiness by putting forward the clocks by twenty minutes every Sunday in April and do the opposite in September.
    Economics
    His idea was not taken up, even though a “Daylight Saving Bill” was introduced some five years before the outbreak of World War One. But once the war started, it was considered wise to economics, to promote greater efficiency in using daylight hours, and in the use of artificial lighting. And so in 1916, “Daylight Saving Time” was introduced. Even though most countries abandoned this after that war, some eventually decided that it was a good idea, and most of these nations began to keep it throughout the year.
    Experiment
    Since 1972, Britain has decided to go with Greenwich Mean Time in winter, and British Summer Time in Summer.
    But back in 1968, Britain tried a four-year experiment by advancing time one hour ahead of GMT throughout the year.
    But those living further north, particularly in Scotland, found it most unsatisfactory, with dark mornings for much of the year, and the experiment was dropped.
    But the arguments go on …and on.
    小题1:Why some countries decide to change the clocks after World War One?
    A．To improve the people’s health and happiness.
    B．To do a certain experiment
    C．To save energy to develop economies.
    D．All of the above.
    小题2:What can you infer from the passage?
    A．The idea of changing the clocks suffered disagreement.
    B．The people in Scotland don’t change the clocks.
    C．The idea was first thought of by an educator.
    D．It’s unnecessary to change the clocks.
    小题3:What is the real meaning of the last sentence of the passage?
    A．Nobody in the UK likes the idea.
    B．All things need arguments.
    C．The British are fond of arguments.
    D．Different views of the idea still exist.

    Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t
    he spirit of generosity is  instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of
    a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
    A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i
