8.A water lily painting,Water Lily Pond,by Claude Monet,the French impressionist artist,was sold for more than 80million Tuesday,breaking the auction(拍卖)record for himself.
Water Lily Pond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up for sale during his lifetime.
The four paintings of Monet's water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919.One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,while another was sold at auction in 1992for  12.1million and is in a private collection now.The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War II.
"After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the
telephone,the painting finally was sold to a collector for 80.4million,setting a new world record price for the artist at auction,"said Olivier Camu,a scholar of impressionist art.
The last record for a Monet work was set in May when Le Pont du chemin de fer a
Argenteuil sold for 41.4million.
The painting sold Tuesday was bought at a 1971New York auction for  320,000.It has
not been exhibited since.
Monet's later works had unique characteristics,especially Grandes decorations,another good example,which was bedded in Musee de I'Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet's death in 1926.
Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny,France.He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible,specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.

3.A team of US psychologists(心理学家)have found that talking to another person for 10minutes a day improves memory.
"Researchers discovered that socializing was just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in improving memory and intellectual(智力的)performance."Oscar Ybarra,a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research,said in a statement.
In one investigation,they analyzed data on 3,610people,aged 24to 96.
They found that the higher their level of social interaction(交往),the better their cognitive(认知)functioning.Social interaction included getting together or having phone chats with relatives,friends and neighbors.
In another experiment,the researchers conducted lab tests on 76college students,aged 18to 21,to assess how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.
The students were divided into three groups:The social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group watched a 10-minute clip of the Seinfeld television show.
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10minutes improved participants'intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called‘intellectual'activities for the same amount of time,"Ybarra said.

49.The following activities are included in social interaction exceptC.
A.having a talk with relatives on line
B.attending your friend's birthday party
C.watching TV alone at the weekend
D.communicating with people around by sending messages
50.From the experiments we can seeB.
A.the longer social interaction they have,the better their cognitive functioning is
B.intellectual exercises are as good as social interactions in improving one's cognitive function
C.social interactions are more effective than intellectual activities to improve memory
D.more time should be spent on intellectual activities than on social interactions to improve memory
51.We can probably find this article in aA.
A.science magazine       B.textbook     
C.fiction                D.writing guide
52.What can be inferred from the passage?A
A.Memory can be strengthened by communicating with each other.
B.Memory can be improved by communicating rather than comprehensive reading.
C.The results of the test on three groups are completely different.
D.The longer you talk with others,the better your memory becomes.

18.The other day in school we were discussing jobs.Our teacher,Mrs.Bolt,said that vocations were very important and that it was never too early to think about your life's work.Most of the children really weren't too sure about what they wanted to be.But I knew exactly what I wanted to be,and when Mrs.Bolt asked me,I replied"A truck driver."
"A truck driver,"repeated Mrs.Bolt."Why do you want to be a truck driver,Kenneth?"

"Yes,I guess so,"I said.
"Well,since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver,I think you should investigate the field a little further.I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving.And I want you to write a book report on it and hand it at the end of the month."
"That's the last time I'll ever tell anybody my secret ambition!"
33.The word"vocations"in the first paragraph here meansB.
A.works     
B.jobs    
C.holidays    
D.ambition
34.Why did Mrs.Bolt ask Kenneth to write the book report?BecauseA.
A.she wanted him to learn about the other side of truck driving
B.she was angry with him
C.she was not satisfied with the reasons he gave
D.she wanted the whole class to follow his example
35.Which sentence does not agree with the general idea of the text?C
A.Truck drivers are well paid.
B.Kenneth's wish made the whole class burst into laughter.
C.Kenneth enjoyed sitting at a desk doing his lessons.
