  “Keep your eyes on the ball.”That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life.“Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it.But people are funny.They think too much about the details.

  I had a secretary once.She was very hardworking.I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll for courses.Berry used to get angry at the phone.“If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.

  People just don’t see the big picture.One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train.I was feeling tired.My eyes fell on the paper spread out in front of him.You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?

  I read the page and leaned back.I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it.After a while, I realized-he wasn’t turning the page.He just kept on reading.

  Now if you knew the rag he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway.The layout was mostly pictures.So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”

  “What do you mean?” he asked.“Well,” I told him,” I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten.And you are still reading.You know,” I went on” If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.”He remained silent for a minute or two.“If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”

  Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the Cruelty young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine,”says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.

  Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process(过程)in which the brain deals with information (positscience. com). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy(准确性).

  Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish(辨别)sounds (between“dog”and“bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you--faster and faster to keep you challenged(受到挑战). You may start out slow, but before long you're pretty quick.

  The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.

  To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language...“When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do 'use it or lose it' ,”says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.

(1)Dr. Merzenich's training method mainly depends on ______.

[  ]

A.speech training

B.computer languages

C.the activities one joins in

D.the information being dealt with

(2)By saying“the brain at any age is highly plastic”, the writer probably means the brain can be ______.

[  ]

A.used
B.mastered
C.developed
D.researched

(3)What can we learn from the text?

[  ]

A.Practice makes a quick mind.

B.Brain research started ten yeas ago.

C.Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer.

D.People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

(4)Which of the following agrees with the writer's idea?

[  ]

A.The training methods work better for the old.

B.People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.

C.The training of the brain should start at an early age.

D.It's necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.

  On my first day of teaching, all my classes are going well. 1 a teacher was going to be something easy and sure, I decided. Then came Period 7, the last class of the day.

  Dumbstruck, I 17 into my chair and wondered 18 I should have become a teacher. Was the only 19 for problems like this to get out? I told myself I'd suffer for one year, and after my marriage the next summer I'd do something 20 rewarding.

请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空白里填入最恰当的单词。注意:每空一词

  There are a number of advantages when it comes to living alone.However, it also comes with a few safety concerns.You still never know who will be around the corner.Don't become another victim; be sure to follow our tips.

  1.All doors should be kept locked.

  Always keep your doors locked when you are in your apartment or dorm.Make sure the doors are closed behind you when you come into the building and never leave your room unlocked, even when you are in it.There's always a chance that someone might sneak in while you are unaware.Always try to remember to close doors behind you to ensure your safety.

  2.Don't lose your keys.

  Even if you do everything you can to keep the doors locked, criminals might still be able to come into your house with a key.Always know where your keys are to prevent this.Never put them down in a public place or give them to friends.Also, before you bring your car into the repair shop, take off the house keys.

  3.When it comes to safety, standing up for yourself is important.

  If you aren't getting all the security features you want, don't be afraid to ask.If your lighting situation is less than ideal, discuss this with your supervisor or landlord.Talk to the campus security organization if you think a security phone near your dorm is a good idea.Request that the building employ someone to monitor those entering and leaving the building.You should feel safe where you reside(居住于), so stand up for your rights.

  4.Be careful.

  You still might find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation.Check your peephole(窥视孔)before letting anyone in.Whenever you witness something around your building that makes you uncomfortable or suspicious just dial 911.It is a good idea to always walk with a friend instead of alone.Become familiar with people who live in the building, so you can keep track of anyone that is a stranger.

  A young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness(不治之症)and given three months to live.So as she was getting her things“in order”, she asked her pastor(牧师)to come to her house to discuss her final wishes.With everything in order, the pastor was ready to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.

  “What's that?”asked the pastor.

  “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”

  The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing what to say.

  “That surprises you, doesn't it?”the young woman asked.

  “Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request,”said the pastor.

  The young woman explained,“In all my years of going to church meetings and dinners, I remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would always lean over and say,‘Keep your fork.'It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming, like chocolate cake or apple pie, some dessert like that.Something wonderful!I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork so that when they ask you why I have a fork, you can tell them:‘Keep your fork-the best is yet to come.'”

  The pastor hugged the young woman good-bye.He knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did.She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.

  At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand.Over and over, the pastor heard the question“Why does she have a fork?”And over and over again he smiled.

  So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it reminded you of this young woman gently.Send the message to everyone you consider a friend even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you.

  And, keep your fork!!

第一节   任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

  请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每空只填一个单词。

Making a public speech is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become .But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!), I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned: 

  1. Keep your speech simple. Your audience will leave with one or two of your main ideas, that is to say, most people can remember one or two of your ideas well, one or two, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas well. But if you can’t express what you want to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will.

  2. Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. Because a strong close is very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.

3. Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t focus their attention on one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应),the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech proves a failure.

Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.
