    2．One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister．On this occasion，the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girl friend．I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children．Later，I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with．
    I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out．I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful，grateful voice on the other end of the line，all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing．
    It was，I should point out，after 10 p．m．，when the two younger children should have been in bed．and when the two older children should have been answering the phone．"I'll give him a lesson，"I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10：30 on a winter night I had no idea，but it was the only explanation I could come up with．

    9．We may all have had the embarrassing moment：Getting half-way through a story only to realize that we've told this exact tale before，to the person we're boring with it now．Why do we make such memory mistakes？
    According to research published in Psychological Science，it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory．
    Researchers Nigel Gopie，of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto，and Colin Macleod，of the University of Waterloo，divided memory into two kinds．The first was source memory，or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from．The second was destination memory，or the ability to recall who we have given information to．
    They found that source memory functions better than destination memory，in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling．
    To study the differences between source and destination memory，the researchers did an experiment on 60university students，according to a New York Times report．The students were asked to associate 50random （ 随意的） facts with the faces of 50famous people．Half of the students"told"each fact to one of the faces，reading it aloud when the celebrity's picture appeared on a computer screen．The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward．
    When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces，the students who were giving information out （destination memory） scored about 16percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information （source memory）．
    The researchers concluded that out-going information was less associated with its environmental context （背景）----that is，the person----than was incoming information．
    This makes sense given what is known about attention．A person who is giving information，even little facts，will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said．Because our attention is finite（有限的），we give less attention to the person we are giving information to．
    After a second experiment with another group of 40students，the researchers concluded that self-focus is another factor that  undermines destination memory．
    They asked half the students to continue giving out random information，while the other told things about themselves．This time around，those who were talking about themselves did 15percent worse than those giving random information．
    "When you start telling these personal facts compared with non-self facts，suddenly destination memory goes down more，suggesting that it is the self-focus component （成分） that's reducing the memory，Gopie told Live Science．

    66．The point of this article is toC．
    A．give advice on how to improve memory
    B．say what causes the memory to worsen
    C．explain why we repeat stories to the same person
    D．introduce different kinds of memories
    67．Those who read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterwardA．
    A．can memorize more information
    B．have worse memory
    C．are more likely to repeat stories
    D．paid more attention to themselves
    68．The person who is giving informationB．
    A．may receive little facts
    B．focuses more on what he is saying
    C．has finite attention
    D．says much attention to his own behavior
    69．The underlined word"undermines"probably meansA．
    A．weakens      B．benefits   
    C．explains     D．supports
    70．What did the scientists conclude from the second experiment？D
    A．Destination memory is weaker than source memory．
    B．Focusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance．
    C．Associating personal experience with information helps people memorize better．
    D．Self-focus is responsible for giving information twice or more to the same person．

    "I was in my car one time，and Bruce Springsteen's‘Jungleland'came on，"he said．"And he sounds so far away．It made me really sad．And I think，OK，I've got to get the phone and write hi to 50people．I was （52）D for the phone，and I thought，Don't!Just be sad．"So CK （53）Cover and allowed himself to sob like a little girl （54）C that brand-new four-poster bed for her American Girl doll．"It was beautiful．You're lucky to （55）Dsad moments，"he said．And because he didn't fight and push it away with that little phone，because he allowed himself to be miserable，his body released endorphins（内啡肽）．"And that's why I don't want to get phones for my kids．"CK said．And I suppose I don't either．

    3．With the summer holiday just around the corner，it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations．Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket：
    Travel off-season
    Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts．During the peak season，the hotel and flight prices increase quickly，and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists．（36）D
    （37）A
    Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms．Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding．Stay with the locals．If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period，renting a small apartment is a good choice．
    Eat like a local
    Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new？（38）EDuring your family trip，try new food where the locals eat．This will not just save money，but also provide you with a new and different experience．For smaller meals and snacks，avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout．
    Don't hesitate to bargain
    Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything．Clothes，travel goodies，souvenirs，etc．are very expensive at these places．（39）F Bargain hard to get the best price．
    Choose local transportation
    （40）G Instead，take buses，railways or subways，which are always cheaper．If you are planning to stay for a while，you can consider renting a car．Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot．
    A．Save on hotels．
    B．Surf the Internet while traveling．
    C．Therefore，avoid buying anything there．
    D．So it's best to find out when the off-season starts．
    E．Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs．
    F．For this reason，you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains．
    G．As a tourist，avoid taking taxis whenever possible，since they are expensive．
