The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter showed it to him on the map.“But there is nowhere to land there,” said the pilot.“I have flown over that we can’t land anywhere between this river and these mountains.”
“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”
“That’s right,” answered the pilot.“I can land a plane where nobody else can.But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”
“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring?” said the hunter.
“Is that true?” asked the pilot.
“Yes, it is.I swear it.”
Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.
When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spot without trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise(陡坡) at one end.The pilot thought there was not enough room to land there, but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so down went the plane.When it came to the rise, it turned right over onto its back.As the hunter climbed out, he smiled happily and said, “Yes, that is exactly how the other pilot managed it last time.”.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.

Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in the twentieth century. This means that different regions of the world get long spells (持续时间) of the same type of weather, whether hot , cold, wet or windy.
However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the temperature of the sea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature.
Whatever the cause, the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly what effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we cannot make changes which might help. So for the moment the only answer is …wait and see!
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A. We have never predicted the weather.
B. Man is now able to control the weather.
C. Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countries.
D. It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately.
27. The strange weather patterns on the earth can he best described as ________.
A. steady and balanced C. likely to cause serious disasters
B. changeable but predictable D. unpredictable but favorable to man

We could start with the advantages of mobile phones. There are many things that we could do with mobile phones. With the advancement of technology,more and more features are being added to the mobile phones which make them more useful. In addition to making calls,mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging,email,Internet access,business applications,gaming and photography. We can bring them everywhere,and can be reached by others anytime. They make the world smaller,bringing people together no matter where they are.
But we could have some risks when using our mobile phones. We may have accidents when we use them while driving. Some studies show that mobile phones can do harm to our bodies;and materials in mobile phones could damage our environment.
Since there are so many risks,why do we still have mobile phones?This is because these risks or disadvantages can be overcome. For example,while we are driving we can easily pull up our car if we really need to use the phone. Mobile phone manufacturers are reducing the radiation of mobile phones to avoid health risks.
Though there are both pros and cons of using mobile phones,we could easily see that there are more advantages than disadvantages. Moreover,mobile phones are becoming cheaper,which might be another reason why mobile phones are increasingly used today.
1. Which of the following functions is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Text messaging.
B. Camera.
C. GPS.
2. What risks might mobile phones cause?
A. Traffic accidents and health problems.

Meaningfulness affects memory at all levels.Information that does not make any sense to you is difficult to remember.There are several ways in which we can make material more meaningful.Many people, for instance, learn a rhyme to help them remember.Do you know the rhyme "Thirty days has September, April, June, and November..."? It helps many people remember which months of the year have 30 day s.
Organization also makes a difference in our ability to remember.How useful would a library be if the books were kept in random order? Material that is organized is better remembered than jumbled information.One example of organization is chunking.C hunking consists of grouping separate bits of information.For example, the number 4671363 is more easily remembered if it is chunked as 467, 13, 63.Categorizing is another means of organization.Suppose you are asked to remember the following list of wor ds: man, bench, dog, desk, woman, horse, child, cat, chair.Many people will group the words into similar categories and remember them as follows: man, woman, child; cat, dog, horse; bench, chair, desk.Needless to say, the second list can be remembered mo re easily than the first one.
Association refers to taking the material we want to remember and relating it to something we remember accurately.In memorizing a number, you might try to associate it with familiar numbers or events.For example, the heigh t of Mount Fuji in Japan -12,389 feet -might be remembered using the following associations: 12 is the number of months in the year, and 389 is the number of days in a year (365) added to the number of months twice (24).
The last principle is visualizati on.Research has shown striking improvements in many types of memory tasks when people are asked to visualize the items to be remembered.In one study, subjects in one group were asked to learn some words using imagery, while the second group used repetiti on to learn the words.Those using imagery remembered 80 to 90 percent of the words, compared with 30 to 40 percent of the words for those who memorized by repetition.Thus forming an integrated image with all the information placed in a single mental pict ure can help us to preserve a memory.
1.What kind of information is easy for us to remember?()
A.Information that does not make any sense to us
B.Information that we are not familiar with
C.Information that is meaningful to us
D.Information that we are not interested in

B.in random order
C.in a jumbled way
