How good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all the four questions, your memory is very good. Education specialists in England have been looking into ways to improve our memory of what we read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions. The smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students. Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article while frowning. Which group remembered better? Youre right. The frowning students. The specialists dont know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Part DTest Your ListeningA Passage Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. Many expressions may be used to describe someone who is excited. One such expression is beside oneself. You can be beside yourself with anger or beside yourself with happiness, although usually not both at the same time! If you are beside yourself, you are filled with excitement. The dictionary tells us that beside means next to, or at the side of. So the expression beside oneself describes something that really is not possible. Today, you might hear a husband say, When my wife told me we were going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy. Or someone might tell you he was beside himself with anger because he had just lost his job. When you are full of joy or extremely excited, you may do something strange. You may flip your lid. A lid is the cover that prevents something from escaping from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you flip your lid, you become so excited that you lose your self-control. Questions 1. What condition does the expression beside oneself describe today? 2. What is meant by the expression flip your lid? 3. What does the passage mainly discuss?全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程1Unit 3 School LifePart ACommunicative Function Expressing Likes and Dislikes There are various ways to express likes and dislikes.

After work she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light music makes her feel relaxed. In the evening she enjoys watching TV in her own room.
