years old at riverdale school in palmerston north and i copied melissa crawfords answers in a spelling test. before that i was average at school but after that, because melissa crawford was smart, and i got all the right answers, i got put in all the smart kids groups. from then on, i did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that i would and i also got grouped with the smart kids. this experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the pygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect that you re going to do well and also being around people who are smart. the pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast. yesterday this site had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. a year ago i contacted a

are about 78 million canines(犬) in the united states. dogtv is aimed at the many of these that are left alone for long periods. dogs are social animals and often grow anxious when left on their own. they may bark, chew shoes, and generally get into trouble. dogtv, which was launched last february, is designed to help ease their boredom and anxiety.creators of the cable service approached their task scientifically. the sounds, colors, and camera angles have all been adjusted for canine senses. for instance, colors are made more vivid so that dogs can see objects clearly. dogtv does not, as you might think, show scooby-doo and clifford the big red dog. rather, there are three types of dogtv “shows.” the first aims to relax dogs. these segments show dogs resting to the sound of calming music. the second kind shows pleasant (for a dog) day-to-day settings, like riding in a car or walking down a street. the third type is meant to stimulate -like a scene of two dogs playing in a field. “dogs love watching other dogs being active on the screen,” says beke lubeach, a dogtv spokesperson. she says that birds, monkeys, and zebras also make dogs take notice.not everyone is buying it. “i think a lot of this is to make us feel better as opposed to making the pet happier,” says dr. ann. e. hohenhaus of new yorks animal medical center. she tells the new york times, “your pet needs adequate exercise and an interesting environment.” you cannot just turn on the tv and hope your dog is going to get better.on the other hand, the humane society animal shelter in escondido, california, tried out dogtv at its shelter. sally costello, the director, says workers observed that dogs exposed to the channel were calmer and barked less.dogtv has been seen only in southern california so far. but it is scheduled to go national soon. owners of the commercial-free channel hope to charge about $5 a month for their service.28. the following programs are often broadcast on dogtv except_.a. dogs resting to the sound of calming music.b. programs like cliff ford the big red dog.c. a scene of two dogs playing in a fieldd. dogs riding in a car or walking down a street29. what does dr. ann e. hohenhaus agree according to the fourth paragraph?a. everyone who owns dogs will buy the service.b. dogtv can make your dogs happier and happier.c. dogs need more than a good animal channel.d. dogtv makes people happier than pet dogs.30. which of the following is right according to the passage?a. dogtv will only be seen in southern california.b. there will be many ads on the animal channel.c. dog owners will enjoy the programs very much.d. dogs exposed to the channel will become calmer.31. which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?a. how to make your dog happier.b. a new tv for dogsc. how to keep dogs calm.d. a new channel to calm dogs downdfind a quiet location. keep a routine. focus on one subject at a time. it all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is all wrong.heres a list of tips from carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time：test yourself：doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” carey says. but psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material youve studied. “if you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”move around: changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “if you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be formingmultiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. so its better organized in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”mix it up：think about a football player who does strength training, speed training and drills. carey says alternating between different facets of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. for example, when studying french, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs, say, isnt as effective.space it out：information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. carey likes cramming your brain to speed-packing a cheap suitcaseit all falls out. so if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “theres no doubt you can cram your way through an exam,” carey says. the problem is that its so easy to forget what you just crammedand once its gone, carey says, “its gone. youre not getting it back.”of course, nothing can replace the power of motivation and discipline. but carey says the overall message is encouraging：“studying can sort of be incorporated into a more varied life, much more easily than we thought.”32according to the text, the best way to learn is _ato learn ones subject at a time in a quiet placebto be strongly motivated to learn somethingcto mix up everything that you will learndto do self-tests after you learn immediately33.why are you advised to move around while learning?a. because it can make your brain focus on learning.b. because you can save time by missing the same words.c. because you can connect materials with different things.d. because it keeps your brain in a completely resting state.34how did the writer develop the fifth paragraph?aby telling an interesting story. bby presenting in the time order.cby analyzing causes and effects. dby making a comparison.35it can be inferred from what carey said in the third paragraph that _atests used to be treated as a tool to judge learnersbtests would slow down your studyctests were the best way to learn new informationdtests do good to you more than learning itself第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? and can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? this situation is common in india, the middle east and many parts of africa， 36 we dont realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways -and with different motives（动机）37 a marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wifeit also joins children, making
