    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．

         Parents divorced, little Buddy was in the care of his mother's large Alabama family. Over the years,
    Buddy seldom saw either of his parents. But he was happy where he was and he had many kindly
    relatives, among whom Miss Sook was by far his best friend. Before Christmas, Buddy's father had
    managed to get legal custody(法定监护) of him for this Christmas. So, he had a new suit, with a card
    pinned with his name and address and made the trip alone, by bus, to New Orleans.
         Several things occurred that kept me awake the whole night. First, the footfalls, the noise of my father
    running up and down the stairs, breathing heavily, I had to see what he was up to. So I hid and watched.
    There was a Christmas tree and the fireplace downstairs. Moreover, I could see my father. He was
    crawling around under the tree arranging a pyramid of packages. I felt dizzy, for what I saw forced me to
    reconsider everything. If these were presents intended for me, then obviously they had not been ordered
    by the Lord and delivered by Santa Claus; no, they were gifts bought and wrapped by my father,which
    meant that my rotten little cousin Billy Bob and other rotten kids like him weren't lying when they laughed
    at me and told me there was no Santa Claus. The worst thought was: Had Sook known the truth, and lied
    to me? No, Sook would never lie to me. She believed. It was just that-well, though she was
    sixty-something, in some ways she was at least as much of a child as I was.
         I waited until I was sure he was in bed and sound asleep. Then I crept downstairs and examined the
    tags attached to each of the packages. They all said: "For Buddy." I decided to open the packages: It
    was Christmas morning. I was awake, so why not? I won't bother to describe what was inside them: just
    shirts and sweaters and dull stuff like that. The only thing I appreciated was a toy gun. Somehow I got the
    idea it would be fun to waken my father by firing it. So I did. Bang. Bang. Bang. He raced out of his room, wild-eyed, Bang. Bang. Bang. "Buddy-what the hell do you think you're doing?" Bang. Bang. Bang. "Stop that!" I laughed. "Look, Daddy. Look at all wonderful things Santa Claus brought me."
         Calm now, he walked into the room and hugged me. "You like what Santa Claus brought you?"
         I smiled at him. He smiled at me. There was a tender lingering (逗留不去的) moment, damaged when I said: "Yes. But what are you going to give me, Daddy?" His smile evaporated. His eyes narrowed
    suspiciously-you could see that he thought I was pulling some kind of trick. But then he blushed, as though he was ashamed to be thinking what he was thinking. He patted my head, and coughed and said: "Well, I
    thought  I'd wait and let you pick out something you wanted. Is there anything particular you want?"
    I reminded him of the airplane we had seen in the toy store on Canal Street. His face sagged. Oh, yes, he
    remembered the airplane and how expensive it was. Nevertheless, the next day I was sitting in that
    airplane dreaming I was zooming toward heaven while my father wrote out a check for a happy salesman, who promised to help ship the plane on the bus.
    But I wasn't free of New Orleans yet. The problem was a large bottle of wine; maybe it was because of
    my departure, but anyway my father had been drinking it all day, and on the way to the bus station, he
    scared me by grabbing my wrist and harshly whispering: "I'm not going to let you go. I can't let you go back to that crazy family in that crazy old house. Just look at what they've done to you. A boy six, almost
    seven, talking about Santa Claus! It's all their fault, all those sour old spinsters with their Bibles and their
    knitting needles, those drunken uncles. Listen to me, Buddy. There is no God! There is no Santa Claus.
    " He was squeezing my wrist so hard that it ached. "Kiss me. Please. Please. Kiss me. Tell your daddy
    that you love him." But I couldn't speak. I was terrified I was going to miss my bus. And I was worried
    about my plane, which was strapped to the top of the taxi. "Say it: 'I love you.' Say it. Please. Buddy. Say
    it."
         It was lucky for me that our taxi-driver was a good-hearted man. Because if it hadn't been for his help, and the help of some efficient porters and a friendly policeman, I don't know what would have happened
    when we reached the station. My father was so drunk he could hardly walk, but the policeman talked to
    him, quieted him down, helped him to stand straight, and the taxi-man promised to take him safely home.
    But my father would not leave until he had seen the porters put me on the bus.
         Once I was on the bus, I crouched in a seat and shut my eyes. I felt the strangest pain. A crushing pain
    that hurt everywhere. I thought if I took off my heavy city shoes, those crucifying monsters, the agony
    would ease. I took them off, but the mysterious pain did not leave me. In a way it never has; never will.
         Twelve hours later I was home in bed. The room was dark. Sook was sitting beside me, rocking in a
    rocking chair, a sound as soothing (令人舒畅的) as ocean waves. I had tried to tell her everything that
    had happened, and only stopped when I was hoarse (嘶哑的) as a howling dog. She stroked her fingers
    through my hair, and said: "Of course there is a Santa Clause. It's just that no single somebody could do
    all he has to do. So the Lord has spread the task among us all. That's why everybody is Santa Claus. I am. You are. Even you cousin Billy Bob. Now go to sleep. Count stars. Think of the quietest thing. Like snow. I'm sorry you didn't get to see any. But now snow is falling through the stars-" Stars sparkled, snow whirled inside my head; the last thing I remembered was the peaceful voice of the Lord telling me something I
    must do. And the next day I did it. I went with Sook to the post office and bought a penny postcard. That same postcard exists today. It was found in my father's safety deposit box when he died last year. Here is what I had written him: Hello pop hope you are well I am and I am turning to pedal my plane so fast I will
    soon be in the sky so keep your eyes open and yes I love you Buddy.
    1. When Buddy asked his Daddy for Christmas presents, his father's reaction suggested that _______.
