36、 mine so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometim

37、es it makes the place feel comfortable and warm but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why cant I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy?JoanEdwards reply to JoanDear Joan，If your family didnt pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you pr

38、obably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if youve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(氛围), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict(冲突) you grew up with or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.

42、rages Joan to be brave enoughDMost people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of al

43、l, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen(氧气) for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimmin

44、g and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change it takes a long time to make a differ

45、ence.Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: fi

46、rst 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals. Imagery is remembering

47、newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar(熟悉的) with.However, memory skills will hardly work if you dont understand the information. Whats more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised

48、 to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory

49、.66How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.67Which of the following examples is the use of the skill “organization”?A. Remembering the word “sad” by putting it into the group of “feeling”.B. Remembering the meaning of the word “re

50、d” by connecting it with fire.C. Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.D. Remembering the post number 0708591 by diving it into 070 and 8591.68The passage is written to tell us _.A. not everyone has a good memory B. memory skills are not difficult to learnC. memory ca

51、n be improved in some ways D. it is important to have a healthy lifestyleEBefore a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.The first is called the “tank test.” A modern airplane must fly v

52、ery high in the sky. Air must be pumped(给打气) into the airplane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window is like a

53、 huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode(爆炸) in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever

54、will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part will be made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines are all shu
