听力原文：(Text 11)

　　W：There are many ways in which the memory can be improved．In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do．

　　A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful．For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper．

　　Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people．I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name．It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name．

　　Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best．

　　Finally, take care of yourself physically．Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind．And don’t forget your vitamins－B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory．

　　This topic is about greeting in China．A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces．

　　This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago．For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people．The life of most people in China has become much better now．They do not worry about their food and clothing any more．The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”

　　Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China．Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other．It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other．

18．What did people mostly care about many years ago?

A．Are you full or hungry?

B．Where are you going?

C．Good manners．

19．What does the change of greetings in China show?

A．People are less polite to each other．

B．People have bad manners now．

C．People’s life is better．

20．Which is the best way for people to say hello to each other?

A．How do you do?

B．How are you?

C．Good morning．

　　After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city．Buildings went up at a fantastic rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population is more than doubled．Because of the Olympic games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world．As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen．Housing shortage, pollution, and waste disposal have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to answer them．
