6.It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.The meanings of thousands of words,the bases for the decisions we make,and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences,which are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be considered as the ability to keep information available for later use.It includes not only"remembering"things like maths or historical facts but also involves(包括)any change in the way an animal acts.Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has smelt something different in the grain pile.Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines.Computers,for example,contain equipment for storing data for later use.It is interesting to compare the memory-storage ability of a computer with that of a human being.The instant-access memory(快速记忆) teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of English.However,this is only a piece of total amount of information which the teenager has.For example,the teenager can recognize a large number of faces and places.
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.
A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations (组合) of words.

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.

7.Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income.This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employers and the self-employed.Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community.
Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population,there are several other influences which also affect it.The age distribution (分布) of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce.If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were a balanced spread age distribution.If the population naturally grows rapidly,the number of births greatly exceeds (超出) the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines.
Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it.In that situation the population is top-heavy with older people.So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.
The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy.If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group.If the aged are to be cared for in special homes,finance must be available for that purpose.If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax revenue (税收) is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.
43.In the passage"labor force"is defined asA.
A.people who are available to work and earn income
B.self-employed people who have the ability to work
C.people who are looking for an employment
D.employers who have created job opportunities
44.From the second paragraph we can draw the conclusion thatB.
A.a natural growth of population always leads to a balanced workforce
B.a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce
C.the larger the population is,the higher the proportion of the workforce will be
D.the workforce will be lower if the population has a balanced age distribution
45.When a population is said to be aging,A.
A.there are more people retiring than those entering the workforce
B.the birth rate in the area must be lower than that of death there
C.there should be an oversupply of the workforce members
D.there are more people entering the workforce than those retiring.
