a. to give an description of a murder case in an office. b. to explain why fisher was invited to a police interview. c. to describe how cognitive method helps the woman to recall. d. to give the readers an idea of cognitive interview. 55. the cognitive interview helped the woman to recall more by _. a. strengthening her memory b. giving her encouragement c. rebuilding her memory d. giving her more time56. it can be inferred from the passage that in a cognitive interview, the interviewer mainly plays a _ role. a. directing b. questioning c. disappointing d. interrupting57. what is the key point of the cognitive interview? a. the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time. b. the witness is encouraged to take an active role in recalling information. c. the interview should take place outside the police station. d. the witness should recall details at the scene of the event.58. police trained in the cognitive interview method can _. a. get more information from the witness than before b. decrease the error rate c. solve the cases more quickly d. use the method more skillfully than the psychologistsclast week, on a flight to washington, i met a confident businessman who asked me about my profession when sitting himself down comfortably next to me. i told him that i am an educator, and for twelve years i have been trying to develop and promote critical thinking about learning in mainstream education. “goodness, it must be the most difficult task in the world!” he thought for a moment. “why do you do this?”i talked about how i had started teaching geography. i told him about the struggles of being a headmaster. and then i told him what i have come to regard as my real turning-point experience.it was back in 1984, when i visited what was known at the time as one of the most outstanding high schools on the eastern seaboard. after two days there i was totally amazed. i had never met such a fine collection of young people, every one of them apparently confident, enthusiastic, sensitive and well able to manage their futures. i asked the principal how this had been achieved and he smiled. “we believe in functional literacy for all young people; that is, the ability to feel confident that you can handle the challenges of modern society. that confidence comes when you know that you are able to manage your own learning and will be able to handle that throughout a lifetime. and that,” he concluded, “requires the highest possible skills in thinking, communicating, collaborating and decision-making.”“but, for goodness sake, those are just the skills im looking for among my employees,” exclaimed my companion. “thats just what industry has been trying to tell the academic world for years. instead of listening, you continue to perpetuate (使永久) a set of practices which are opposite to those very skills needed in employment. you teachers think that life is about working alone on some piece of academic research in an ivory tower (象牙塔) different from the daily routines. you just dont understand about working with confusion, nor do you accept the importance of rule-of-thumb calculations or even simple guesswork! this is the real world. there are real issues. what are you or anyone else going to do about just that?”59. what was the turning point in the authors teaching career?a. his meeting with a confident businessman.b. his appointment as a headmaster.c. his beginning to teach geography.d. his visit to a high school on the eastern seaboard.60. what does the principal mean by “functional literacy”?a. the ability to read, write and make calculations.b. the ability to do every assignment on ones own.c. the ability to communicate and collaborate with others.d. the ability to feel confident in the face of challenges.61. we can infer from the passage that the businessman _.a. is critical of the way students are taught in schoolsb. attaches great importance to work experiencec. thinks highly of the teaching professiond. is not satisfied with the performance of his employees dmy mother celebrates her 90th birthday today. she has asked me to keep it a secret and tell people she is only 89. for some reason she seems to think this sounds better. we really have our share of disagreements, but on this one i stand firm: i think 90 sounds pretty fantastic.my mother says she never thought she would live this long. she was weak and had two near fatal (致命的) illnesses under the age of 12. and then there was the fear of cancer. her mother died of breast cancer when my mother was just 17, at a time when there was no such thing as breast cancer awareness month. when i was 17 years old, i was worried that my life would parallel hers. i never shared my fears. instead i would lie awake at night in my bed with the yellow and orange flowered bedspread she had made for me, counting how much time we had left together. what i didnt know until years later was that she had had the same fear. she told me how she w
