Some years ago, when she was working and living with her family in Chicago, Mrs Obama realized she had to make changes in her family’s lifestyle.“We were eating out too much, buying a lot of things, and drinking a lot of sugary drinks,”she said. So Mrs Obama started talking to her kids about eating healthily and exercising more. Soon they were cooking more, eating fewer desserts, and spending less time watching TV.

You dial the number, and then you forget it! Your short-term memory last about 30 seconds.

Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years.Why do you forget things sometimes? There are several reasons. An important reason for forgetting something is that you didn‘t learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and soon you forget their names. You hear the names but you do not learn them, so you forget them.You can help yourself remember better. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. You can do this if you practice the new information for more times. 66.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Do you talk with your parents about your problems or the day’s events? Do you want to improve your family’s communication skills? Here are three simple ways.Insist on family mealsIn addition to bringing your parents together for a full day’s activities on weekends, you should insist on a few family meals every week. Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share some interesting things that happened in the school, your pressure before exams or your favorite teacher with your parents.Remember the L/T rule (listen and talk)When trying to improve any relationship, listening is far more important than talking. So when it comes to family communication, listen four times longer than you speak. Think twice about what you want to say before you say it Sometimes your first reaction (反应) is angry, especially to bad news. Do your best to avoid this, and if you do, apologize to your parents quickly.Create family traditionsSetting up a family movie night, attending social services or creating special holiday presents are all examples of family traditions. Family members come to expect these traditions, seeing them as opportunities to come together as a unit. If your family is short on traditions, there’s no reason you don’t start some now. Why not go shopping with your mother or play basketball with your father once a week? Or you can prepare a special gift on mother’s Day.All family members develop effective(有效的)communication styles that can improve the quality of the relationships. Why not start talking today?Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay home just because of rain.At around 8:00am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a school, where I could stay until the rain stopped. Unfortunately, the road infront of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle.“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers(车灯).I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was raining.My best decision that day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter(躲避处).Before long, a tow truck(拖车) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed my car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car out and drove me home.Although many years have passed, I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.81. What did the author do at around 8:00am?

Yes, I remember John. I know he was an usually bright boy from the moment he entered the school. Writing came as naturally to him as walking. He enjoyed playing with words, in the same way that other boys play with a football. He wrote stories whenever he had the chance: stories that most of us couldn’t hope to write, with the experience of a person two or three times his age.Mrs. John Brown (John’s mother): When he was young, John was always writing. He wrote in bed; he wrote while the rest of us were watching television, in the half darkness; he would even write at the breakfast table if I let him. He was a very quiet boy. Even now, I’m not sure that I’d know my son very well, if I didn’t read his stories!36.

One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my cold fish sandwich as usual and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy the sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria(自主食堂). I was very pleased. I never bought my lunch from the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use again the next day.Seeing other students went to the cafeteria after class, I felt my heart was filled with admiration(羡慕). You can imagine how pleased I was when I had the opportunity(机会) to buy a hot lunch. Kids always complained about the cafeteria food but I really wished to buy it. When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and explained why she had bought my sandwich. She said she was a Catholic and Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate fish on Fridays. From then on, every Friday Mrs. Amatuli bought my fish sandwich and with the money I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch.One year later, I knew from a classmate that Mrs. Amatuli was not a Catholic and her family was not rich. She bought my cold sandwich because she knew that a poor girl would be excited at the simple act of having a hot lunch. She wanted to help me! I will never forget her sympathy and generosity(同情与慷慨). I will be grateful (感激的) to my dear teacher, Mrs. Amatuli, forever.56. From the passage we can know that____.A.

Mrs. Amatuli was a teacher_____.A. who was sympathy(同情)and generosity.B. who was strict with her students.C. who had special teaching methods.D. who cared little about her students.CIt doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.Herpin died at the age of 94.46. The doctors came to Herpin’s home in order to ______.A. treat him for his illnessB. find the reason why some old people didn’t need any sleepC. get some proof to show his sleeplessness was not really trueD. help him to have a rest in some day47.

Immediately I came alive;I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything a if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 p.m. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile,I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug（拥抱）.I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walkedarm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.（1）The author expected the train trip to be______.A . adventurousB . pleasantC . dullD . exciting（2）What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?A .
