3.Memory,they say,is a matter of practice and exercise.If you have the wish and really made a conscious(自觉的)effort,then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things.But even if you are successful,there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen.One morning last week,for example,I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night,yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory"trick"work the other way as well.Once in a while you remember not oing something,and then find out that you did.One day last month,for example,I was sitting in a barber(理发师)shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut,and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and amusing(有趣的)in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness.Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years,and we never got tired of hearing new ones.Unfortunately,however,absent-mindedness is not always funny.There are times when"trick"of our memory can cause us great trouble.

A.you should force yourself to remember things
B.you should make a conscious effort of practice and exercise
C.you should never stop learning

C.we will never get tired of listening to new stories about absent-mindedness
D.absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people

B.always forgetting things is understandable
C.forgetting things at times is natural

13.In its early history,Chicago had floods frequently,especially in the spring,making the streets so muddy that people,horses,and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this:A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help,he replies,"No,thanks.I've got a good horse under me."
The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system,but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of course created a new problem:dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice:either change the first floors of their buildings into basements,and the second stories into main floors,or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large,heavy structures like Tremont Hotel,which was a six-story brick building?
That's where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel,Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews.At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time,thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly,the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation,and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicago's early history,every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River,the ci ty's next step was to clean the polluted river.
29.The author mentions the joke to showB.
A.horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B.Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
C.Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D.the Chicago people were particularly humorous
30.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough toD.
A.get rid of the street dirt               
B.lower the Chicago River
C.fight against heavy floods
D.build the pipes above ground
31.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A
A.It went on smoothly as intended.
B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.
C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D.It separated the building from its foundation.
