One basic way of improving your memory is to use the link method. If you want to memorize something, you must make a "picture". If the picture is silly, strange and colorful, you will remember it better. For example, I'm trying to remember the word "smiles". An easy way to do this is to imagine there is a "mile" between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world!

MILLIE

Memory is connected with our feelings. For example, if someone says "This is a spider," and then puts a large spider on your hand, you will probably remember the word "spider"! When some dramatic things happen, we usually remember them well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing. For example, 98% of older people in the USA can remember where they were when they heard about the death of President John F Kennedy in 1963.

54. What method did the writer use to remember the word "smiles"?

Soldiers were in an old, wooden building today when the roof collapsed. The building is on a large, empty plain ten kilometers from the nearest town. Nine of the soldiers escaped, but one soldier could not get out. One rescue worker from the army talked to our news team.

"We have just rescued the soldier! At first, we couldn't open the windows because they were all closed securely. However, we got in through a window. It was difficult to get beyond the window because wood from the roof blocked the way. We finally found the soldier. He was unconscious so we dragged him out of the building. The main thing is he was not seriously hurt.''

The police are looking for a man. The man disappeared after a lucky day. He won a lot of money from horse racing. On the same day, he succeeded in getting the right numbers in the lottery.

Including the lottery, he won several million US dollars. The police do not know what happened to the man. They say perhaps criminals captured him and seized his money, or maybe he decided to celebrate by taking a world trip.

Wild animals are important to us. They live together with us on the earth. If there are no animals on the earth, we will not live on, either. So we should take good care of them to help the earth live a healthy life.

But some people still don't realize the importance of protecting them. They kill wild animals for food and other things. Every day there are many wild animals being killed. So lots of wild animals have died out. We can't see them any more. Today the number of wild animals is becoming less and less. If people don't protect them, they will all die out. If this goes on there will be no animals left on the earth.

Luckily many people have begun to realize the importance of protecting wild animals. They ask others to stop killing wild animals. They teach others about the importance of protecting wild animals. Now many countries have made some laws (法律) to protect wild animals and to stop people from killing them.

Protecting wild animals is the duty of each of us. We should do our best to protect them because protecting them is protecting ourselves too.

There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of these. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads (广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back …,” “easy and funny...”, “Our records and tapes help you master English in a month.” Of course, it never happened quite like this.

The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.

So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and takes much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.

66.How many languages are very important in the world?

A.A few. B.Few. C.About 1,500. D.Many.

67.If we want to learn English well, what shall we do?

A.We should study it without any help. B.We must do a lot of practice.

C.We need to get much money back. D.We must live in England or America.

68.How does the writer like the ads in the newspapers or magazines?

A.He thinks the ads very expensive.

B.He thinks the ads are true.

C.It never happened quite like what the ads said.

D.He believes “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back.”

69.Which language is easy to learn?

A.English. B.Chinese. C.Japanese. D.The mother language.

70.Which countries use English as mother tongue?

A.China and France. B.Japan and Italy.C.England and America. D.Germany and hag.
