Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp (黑猩猩) or a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.
Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it’s meaningful to you (an example is data 数据 about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.
Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing’s for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.
Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.
小题1:What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.Human beings are less clever than chimps.

A.Memory is the most important ability for human beings.
B.Long-term memory usually involves more important things.
C.Scientists have made sure of the nature of memory.
D.Imagination is better than association in memorizing things.
小题5:Where do we probably read the passage?

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at laughter Clubs around the world—and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “ Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing—it’s universal(通用的) language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest--I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say“ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” While looking at each other. However,Our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake(假的) laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works!  After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real—and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
小题1: In which country was the first Laughter Club started?

小题2: How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?

小题3:When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?

C.Adults laugh more often than children in a day.

Better think twice before choosing a password for e-mail, online bank or shopping. Simple passwords are easy to be stolen.

A password is like a key to your home. If someone steals it, he’ll get chances to steal something else. We use passwords everywhere in our life. We are so used to passwords that we don’t pay any attention to them until we lose or forget one.
A study of 28,000 passwords recently stolen from a popular website showed that people often do the easy thing. It found that 16 percent took a first name as a password. Another 14 percent used the easiest keyboard combinations such as “12345678” or QWERTY. Five percent of the stolen passwords were names of television shows or stars popular with young people. Three percent of the passwords expressed feelings like “I don’t care,” “Whatever,” “I love you,” or their opposite, “I hate you.”
Robert Graham, who did the study, advises people to choose a password that is longer than eight characters with one capital letter(大写字母) and one symbol.
Of course, safe passwords don’t mean those hard to remember. Forgetting your password is sometimes a big headache for you. Maybe, the perfect password is easy for you and hard for others.
小题1: The underlined word “password” in Paragraph 1 means __________.
A.标志B.护照C.密码D.口诀
小题2:About 40% passwords are easily stolen because the users are ______.
A.busyB.lazy C.stupidD.careful
小题3:Which of the following passwords is considered the safest?
A.ZXCVBN.B.password56.C.wy64#0Mv.D.I hate you.

任务型阅读 阅读短文,按要求完成各题。(5分)
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars suck us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
小题1:根据短文内容完成句子填空(每空限填一个单词)。
In the first paragraph, we can know, Earth is becoming more and more_____ and___ to make  people  want  to live on the planet of Mars.
小题2:根据短文内容完成句子填空(每空限填一个单词)。
In order to live on Mars, people need faster _______________, ______________ that can produce food or air for people, and special shoes.
