Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.

By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic(逻辑)behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand. Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.

Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power,even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything,and create an explanation. For example,start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan,and if you actually do this,you’ll have a better  understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.

Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project,you’ll probably have more success.

Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem,why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and you’re half-way there.

Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often,they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.

1.What would be the best title for the text?

A.A Way on How to Write

2.According to the text,writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT ________.

A.the increase of your brain power

3.The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in Paragraph 5 implies that ________.

A.you are already successful

B.you still need to work hard

【答案】

1.B

2.C

3.D

4.A

【解析】

1.B主旨大意题。本文主要是讲了通过写作,可以把你自己的一些想法理解得更加清晰,更加透彻,从而进一步提高你的大脑思维能力。选项B揭示了本文的主旨。

2.C。细节理解题。文章第二段、第四段和第五段分别提到了选项A、B、D的内容,而对于选项C,文章则没有涉及。

3.D推理判断题。文章第五段主要是说写作能够帮助你去理解一个话题,帮助你解决一些问题,如果写出对于问题的解释,那么就等于解决了问题的一半,这足以说明写作的重要性。解决问题的一半并不是说你就成功了,所以选项A不对;而选项B、C的理解出现偏差,故排除。

4.A主旨大意题。本篇文章叙述了写作的优点,说明了其重要性,但是,所有这些都是为了劝说读者进行写作而进行铺垫,特别是文章的最后一段的最后一句,更是点明了本篇文章的真实目的。

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.

I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.

Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?

My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.

That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.

“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!

“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!

“How much did all of this coat?”

“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”

I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

1.From the first two paragraph we can conclude that the author        

A.had no experience using computers

B.had no idea of what e-commerce is

C.only used the Internet to check e-mail

D.thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time

2.The writer didn’t find out about e-commerce until       

A.he stopped web-surfing

B.he visited a store in his backyard

C.his sister explained the packages she got by mail

D.his friends told him about the online deals they made

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author       .

A.never enjoyed shopping that much

B.loves the big store in her backyard

C.feels she is a true master of the Internet

D.has begun to enjoy online shopping

4.What’s the purpose of the article?

A.To tell the readers how he begins online shopping.

B.To do business on the Internet.

C.To make an online shopping ad.

D.To advise people not to do online shopping

卡上将该项涂黑。

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(不经意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the toxin. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile -- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear!

1. Why did the author smiled to the jailer first?

A. Because he wanted to make friends with the jailer.

B. Because he wanted to give a good impression on the jailer.

C. Because he wanted to share the cigarette with the jailer.

D. The reason was unknown to him and us.

2. Which of the following is the fight order according to the story?

a. I was set free at the edge of town.

b. I wanted to borrow a light from the jailer.

c. I was arrested and quite frightened.

d. I took out the pictures of my family.

e. The jailer took out the pictures of his family.

A. c, b, e, d, a     B. b, c, d, a, e            C. c, b, d, e, a            D. c, d, e, b, a

3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A. Before the author was released, he had stayed there for a long time.

B. Both of the author and the jailer loved their families very much.

C. The author had no chance to see his family again.

D. The jailer was punished by his leader at last.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The use of smile                       B. Life in the jail.

C. The smile                                          D. Love is everywhere.
