foreign visitors onlyd. there are usually more cultural activities in september than in any other monthcmemory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. memory really is learning. one needs memory to ride a bicycle. a dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace（记忆痕）.” what makes up this trace is not known. some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. for example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark. other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. for example, give a person a grocery list. let the person memorize the list, then put it away. the most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. this is called the method of recall. another method is called recognition. give the person another grocery list. ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. a third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. here the person is asked to read over the first list. the person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. the difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered. one way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. interest is very important. boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. motivation is linked with reward. for example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. in humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. the praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.44. we can learn from the 2nd paragraph that _ a. bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark b. it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of c. chemical substances carry certain memories d. memory is stored in the brain as a substance45. the way to pick out the items on the first list from the second is known as _ . a. recognition b. recall c. memorization d. relearning46. what is considered as a measure of how much one has remembered? a. the length of the list. b. the type of list items. c. the time difference of relearning. d. the time difference of brain working.47. a good way to train an animal to do something quickly is to _ . a. make the action easy b. praise it in words c. reward it with food d. weaken its motivationdi credit my typing skill to so many hours of chatting online. unfortunately, as my typing speed increased on the internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. you see instant messages have their own shorthand language and grammar isnt important, of which even a newbie (新手) is aware. they can leave out articles, subjects (主语), pronouns, etc. they can misspell or “respell” almost any word. they often ask “a/s/l” when they first chat. abbreviations (缩写) and capitalizations (大写) are particularly important. english-speaking instant messengers also refuse to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization.after i came back china, i discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. the first, which brought back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was qq. i can see evidence that the chinese have the same kind of separate instant messaging language, even when they chat in english. my first word in this language, for example, was “ft”. this abbreviation for “faint” is used whenever there is a need to express surprise. i also discovered that chinese use the same kind of abbreviation for a laugh. and there is an extraordinary number of smileys (表情符) to the “vomit” and “army soldier” smileys. there is even a sara smiley.after qq, there is another, perhaps more widespread messaging trend. you guessed it - cell phone text messaging. i now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. i admit that i have been guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. who hasnt ? no matter where i go, i see people on their cell phones, messaging. in fact, its rare to see someone actually talking on their phone!so it looks as if there is no escape from the instant messaging crazes, no matter where in the world i go. and thats plainly not going to change. in the end, though, i cant complain: instant messaging is quick, its cheap, its easy and its extremely fun too. and after all, everyones doing it48. the underlined phrase “went out of the window” in paragraph 1 probably means . a. increased b. occurred c. disappeared d. changed49. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. grammar and correct spelling are very important while chatting online. b. there are enough smileys and icons to express yourselves while chatting on line. c. the writer is skilled at typing and once was addicted to online games. d. it is impolite to leave out some unimportant words or letters while chatting online.50. the writer believes that instant messaging is . a. full of fun but time-consuming b. widespread but unnecessary c. quick but difficult to do d. common, used and cheap51. which might be the main idea of the passage? a. who can escape qq and cell phone text messaging? b. why is instant messaging so popular?c. chatting online is good for your typing skill.d. chatting on qq is natural for people. escientists at harvard university and bates college find female chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own. young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.the new work by sonya m. kahlenberg and richard w. wrangham, described this week in the journal current biology, provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman species playing with dolls, as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animals choice of playthings.the two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks. doll play among humans could have its origins in objectcarrying by earlier apes (猿类), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.“in humans, there are obvious sex differences in childrens toy play, and these are remarka
