         Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but
    have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still
    swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still
    ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the
    words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember
    the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
         One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned
    something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will Remember it
          In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and
    playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind
    ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as
         Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
        The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule. that we
    forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things
    we overlearn in childhood.
         The law of overleatning explains why crammingJ(突击学习)for an examination, though
    it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By
    cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is
    likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is
    really necessary for one's future development.
    1.What'the main idea of Paragraph 1?
    A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
    B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
    C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words."
    D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
    2. The author explains the law of overlearning by
    A. presenting research findings
    B. setting down general rules
    C. making a comparison
    D. using examples
    3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is
    A. a result of overlearning
    B. a special case of cramming
    C. a skill to deal with math problems
    D. a basic step towards advanced studies
    4.What is the author's opinion on cramming?
    A. It leads to failure in college exams.
    B. It's helpful only in a limited way.
    C. It's possible to result in poor memory.
    D. It increases students' learning interest.

    World Health Report 2002

        The life expectancy (平均寿命) of people around the world could increase by five to ten years if action against common health risks (冒险，风险) is taken．This is one of the findings in this year’s World Health Report released (发布) recently by the World Health Organization．The report is called “Reducing Risks，Promoting (促进) Life”．

        Researchers found that ten major threats to good health are common around the world．The chief of the World Health Organization，Gro Harlem Brundtland，called them the ten leading killers．They include unsafe sex，poor nutrition (营养)，high blood pressure，use of tobacco and alcohol，unsafe water and unclean living conditions．Also included are high levels of dangerous fat in the blood，indoor smoke from solid fuels，a lack of iron in the body and too much body weight，or obesity (肥胖)．Together，these ten health risks make up forty percent of the fifty-six million deaths worldwide each year．

        Doctor Brundtland called for reducing the ten main health risks by twenty-five percent within ten years．If this were done，life expectancy in industrial countries could increase by ten years．In developing countries，it could increase by five years．

    Currently (通常地)，the number of life years lost because these health risks differ around the world．Doctor Brundtland says the differences these health risks create between rich and poor nations are shocking (骇人听闻的)．For example，about one-hundred-seventy-million children in poor countries are underweight. They do not weigh enough because they do not get enough food. However, more than one thousand millionお adults around the world are too fat. These people are mostly in rich, industrial countries.

    Doctor Brundtland warns that the cost of inaction is serious. For example, she says nine million deaths a year linked to smoking will be reported by two-thousand–twenty if steps are not taken soon. Currently, about five millionお people die each year from diseases related to smoking.

    Doctor Brundtland says that AIDS (艾滋病) and the HIV virus (艾滋病病毒) are having a huge effect on the length of life in Africa. Currently, life expectancy at birth in southern Africa is forty-seven years. The WHO estimates (估计) that ninety-five percent of HIV infections (感染) in Africa were caused by unsafe sex. She says there is an urgent need for sex education and the use of condom devices (孕器具) to prevent the spread of HIV.

    Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F).

    1.It is certain that life expectancy of people around the world could increase by five to ten years in future.

    1.　　   Most of the deaths worldwide each year are due to (由于) the ten leading killers such as unsafe sex, poor nutrition, high blood pressure and so on.

    3.From the passage, we can infer that so far people haven’t dealt with smoking effectively.

    4.The length of life in Africa is affected most by AIDS.

    　　The country of Chile is struggling to recover from one of the most powerful earthquakes in history．The quake struck the South American nation early Saturday morning．It registered 8．8 on the Richter scale．Ex-perts say the earthquake in Chile is among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded．

    　　The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70 miles north of the city of Concepci6n．The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big quake hit on Saturday morning．

    　　On Sunday, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated reports on the toll the earthquake has taken．“It’s an enormous catastrophe,” she said．Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged．Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rub-ble of fallen buildings．Government officials estimate more than 2 million people have lost their homes．

    　　The earthquake in Chile comes less than two months after the 7．0 magnitude earthquake that Haiti suf-fered in January．Although the earthquake in Chile was more powerful than the one in Haiti，the damage is unlikely to be as severe．Earthquakes are more common in Chile，and many buildings and homes there are constructed to withstand tremors better．Also，the area of Chile most affected by this earthquake is not asheavily populated as Port-au-Prince, where the epicenter of the Haitian quake was located．Furthermore, Chile is one of South America’s richest, best-organized countries．Its government has more supplies and people available to effectively respond to national emergencies．

    　　The energy released by the quake caused shock waves to roll across the Pacific Ocean in the form of tsu-namis(海啸)that have the potential to do great damage to coastal areas．Some of these waves struck the Chilean coast，causing major damage to seaside towns．Coastal communities in Russia，Japan，and the Unit-ed States were concerned，too，but there were no reports of severe damage from the waves that eventually reached the countries’shores．
