I shuddered. Nothing scared me as much as water. Thirteen years earlier, I climbed up to the diving board at a city pool and suddenly I dropped into water. The next thing I knew was that my brother waspulling me out. From then on, I stayed away from water.Just then I heard shouting in Italian. That was a little boy out there in the sea! His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and he disappeared. My friends were still on the beach. I was the only one who was on the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. Yet I was as frightened as he. I forced myself to move.I whirled around, hoping that some strong-armed swimmer would come to help the boy. No one was there. Sucking in a deep breath, I threw myself into the water. As soon as I went under it, I felt like I was back in that city pool, breathless, struggling. Salt stung my eyes. Focus, I shouted in my head. Where is he? Then I saw it—a thin arm waving weakly a few yards away. I tried to think of how I’d seen real swimmers do it. I threw my arms out in front of me one after the other.I reached the boy and grabbed his arms just as he sank below the surface. I pulled as hard as I could, and he popped back up, coughing, eyes wide with terror. Only one Italian word came to mind. “Riposo.” I told the boy. If he struggled, I’d never get him to safety. “Riposo.” I said again. He relaxed.I held him and fought to get us back to land. And I realized that I was no longer afraid. Not at all. I knew how terrified I got at the mere sight of water. Yet the absence of fear was absolutely miraculous.4.

Under PressureCDuring this shopping season, salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory(感官的) retail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers’ purchasing decisions.Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender was given off and when it wasn’t. It found that the smell increased the number of consumers’ purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents(气味) through their heating and air-conditioning vents or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.Ever felt frenzied due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on consumers’ moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers’ satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn’t your best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers’ experience. Online retailers(零售商) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.8. The passage is mainly about ________.A. consumers’ favorite sounds and smells while shoppingB. shopping malls’ strategies for satisfying consumersC. some special services from super shopping mallsD. two factors affecting consumers’ shopping decisions9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Decorating stores with flowers becomes a fashion.B. Shops with special smells can attract more consumers.C. Smells can actually help businessmen gain more profits.D. The products with a kind of special smell are more popular.10. How does music have an effect on consumers?A. It controls consumers’ desire for shopping.B. It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.C. It gives consumers the satisfaction of enjoying shopping.D. Whether consumers are willing to buy things depends on it.11. What does the writer try to express in the last paragraph?A. Online shopping is becoming more and more popular nowadays.B. People should spend more time at home with family members.C. People can choose to get rid of salesmen’s promotion strategies.D. Smells and sounds are important for consumers’ shopping experience.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story ofCinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.12. What’s the main idea of Paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.13. The author explains the law of overlearning by ______.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples14. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _____.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies15. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
