He seldom played with his classmates and always lowered his head without a word.One spring, the boys father gave each child a small tree to plant. Whoever grows the best tree will get a favorite gift, he said to them. Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees happily in the garden, he had a terrible idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never cared about it.A few days later, he was surprised to find it not only didnt die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and it looked greener and healthier than the others. He got a favorite gift and was told by his father: from the tree he planted, he would become a great botanist (植物学家). One night, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what his teacher once said: most plants grew at night. Why not go to see the lovely tree? When he came to the garden, he found his father was watering his tree carefully. At that time, he understood: his father had secretly taken good care of his shall tree! He returned to his room with tears (泪水) running out.Many years passed. The little boy didnt become a botanist, but he was known as a great president of the United States.

Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.A healthy lifestyle keeps our brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in B vitamins and vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much oxygen for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become. But do not expect a sudden changeit takes a long time to make a difference.Memory stills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into small ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals. Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.However, memory skills will hardly work if you dont understand the information. Whats more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt and then use it as regularly as possible.Human brains are like muscles that needs nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.（1）How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage? A . Two.B . Three.C . Four.D . Five.（2）Which of the following examples is the use of the skill organization? A . Remembering the word sad by putting it into the group of feeling.B . Remembering the meaning of the word red by connecting it with fire.C . Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.D . Remembering the number 0708591 by dividing it into 070 and 8591.（3）According to the passage, why should we review what weve learnt? A . To use it better every day.B . To understand it in a better way.C . To improve memory stills.D . To remember it for a longer time.（4）The passage is written to tell us . A . not everyone has a good memoryB . memory skills are not difficult to learnC . memory can be improved in some waysD . it is important to have a healthy lifestyle四、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共50分)19. （25分）根据短文内容，回答问题。When you are learning a language, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. When you read a passage, it gives you a good example for writing. Here are some good reading tips.Firstly, try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can understand. If it is too hard for you, it is not interesting.Secondly, try to understand the new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, dont use a dictionary. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read. Mark (作标记) them with a pencil. Then look them up in a dictionary when you finish reading, and write them in your own vocabulary book. Try to remember them.Thirdly, try to read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes or half an hour every day is better than two hours every Sunday. For example, you can read before you go to bed, or after you get up or at lunchtime.Lastly, read something that interests you. Choose a newspaper, a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. It will be easy enough for you to understand.（1）What is helpful in learning a language? （2）How many reading tips does the writer give? （3）What can you do first if you meet a few new words on a page while reading? （4）How long you read in a day will be better for your progress? （5）Please write a title for the passage. 20. （25分）任务型阅读CWing went to Singapore to visit Uncle LeeSingapore was hotWing did not like hot weatherUncle Lee liked to fish when it was hotHe took Wing to fish last FridayWing didnt know how to fishUncle Lee gave Wing a fishing pole(钓竿)He showed Wing how to put some food for fish on the hook(钩)Uncle Lee put his fishing line(钓线)into the waterWing put his line into the water, tooUncle Lee felt something pull(拉)on his lineUncle Lee got a fish!
