Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backwardwalking group got two more, answers correct on average than the other groups.This suggests that the relationship between the concepts(概念) of time and space is important considering how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed via(通过）space,Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told The Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different way compared to walking forward. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can ameliorate our health, according to New Scientist, Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could.be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the Unegon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱） strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.（1）In the experiment, the first group was asked to_.

It reduces pain in peoples knees and backs.D . It allows people to solve problems in different ways（5）What is the best title for this passage? A . Lets exercise our brainB . Lets do an experimentC . Lets walk backwardD . Lets do more exercise4. （8分） Its good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. Its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you make yourself stronger? The simple answer is “You cant.” Look around you. With very few exceptions(例外), either everything you see in your world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something newAnother good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learningConsider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didnt workFinally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some numbers of things before you succeedEvery time you make a mistake, you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. But this all doesnt mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(后果) of a mistake. However, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits（限度） so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a normal place to try againWe all have limited time and money so dont blow them all on one problem. Realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and deal with these resources(资源) properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it againIf you accept and use your mistakes in this way ,you can make great progress in your business and your careerThere is an old saying that goes, “If youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.”So go ahead and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed（1）From the second paragraph, we can know that _A . mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB . we are afraid of trying new thingC . its common for people to make mistakesD . mistakes are better than not trying（2）The underlined word “eliminate” means _A . studyB . removeC . acceptD . solve（3）According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_A . not making the same mistakesB . accepting the punishment willinglyC . taking consequences into considerationD . trying things out one by one（4）What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?A . Never mind, I can always try againB . Id better stay out of troubleC . Ok! Now I can learn somethingD . Look at this mess. Anyone would be sad5. （5分）任务型阅读_You look great in your new overcoat._What parts of his body did he hurt?_Why not write down the new words in your notebook?_The sigh says “Smoking allowed outside.” What does it mean?_What was your first teacher like?A.
