Most episode (情况) of absent-mindedness—forgetting who you left something or wondering why you just entered a room — are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. “You're supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded (译成密码) it deeply.”
Encoding. Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact (影响) on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation. you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜) . “You memory itself isn't failing you. ”says Schacter, “Rather, you didn't give your memory system the information it needed.”
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics (数据) from 30 years ago. ”says Zelinski . “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that.
“Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness.” says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available. ”he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication (药物) with hunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table. Don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.
Anther common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone dose this from time to time.” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember.

In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The English soldiers were the first to wear kilts.
B．It was hard then to tell the Scottish soldiers from the English ones apart from the clothes.

4．The colors of the kilts are ________.
[ ]
A．not part of the Scottish family history
B．older than the Scottish family history
C．for the Campbell family only
D．mainly green, yellow and blue
5．From the last paragraph we can infer that ________.
[ ]
A．the European people are full of strong feelings
B．there are no stories about kilts in Scotland today
C．the British like to do things on feelings, not on facts
D．the Scottish prefer to keep their tradition rather than believe the fact

In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.
Most children go to public elementary (初小) and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly (直接地) for their children's education because tax (税)money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private (私立) school, his parents pay the school for the child's education.
Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the governments. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive. However, almost half of the colleges students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student's family isn't rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.
