From the West came glass, gems (宝石), and foods like carrots and sesame.The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Not only trade, but also knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as craftsmanship and technology, was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.Today, many historical sites along the Silk Road are popular travel destinations, such as the Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑) in Xian and Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang.

Zheng Aiqiang, a memory athlete on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!You would think people like him must have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland, the brain structure (结构) of ordinary people and 23 of the worlds leading memory athletes shows no difference. Good memories can be trained. New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training.Researchers found that a technique (技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brains memory networks. You can link (关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns. At the beginning, they could only remember 26 words, but when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.Not everyone can become a memory winner. But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly, said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.请根据短文内容，完成下列任务。（1）From the recent study, we know that ordinary people and memory athletes have similar 1. （2）To memorize a list of numbers by using loci means you are using your 1to link it with a 2 you know well according to the passage. （3）请根据短文内容回答问题。 What does the new research in the magazine Neuron suggest? （4）请用一句话概括段落大意。 Paragraph 6 tells us that 1（5）请将文中划线句子译成汉语。 25. （5分）（2015.湖南益阳）阅读下面的材料，然后在表格中完成内容摘要，每空不超过三个单词。The 14-year-old girl Susan Davis is having a party.
