24、I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule： Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

25、Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major (专业) in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.

J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.

Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United States.

The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.

Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.

【1】______ was a teacher before he (she) became famous.

A. Vincent Van Gogh B. Ronald Reagan

D. Pars 1~2→Pars 3~4→Par 5

26、   An old friend telephoned from the airport to tell that he had arrived. I was still at the office at the time, but I had got everything ready for him to stay with me.

27、   Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding—most of us go to school by bus or by subway. But whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking.

This is strange. In many other cases, our memories（记忆）let us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, don’t we? So why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago?

It turns out that there are many types of memory. They are stored in different parts of our brains. Memories of experiences（e. g. our first day at school）and of factual knowledge（e. g. the capital of France）are called declarative memories. These memories can be communicated to others. Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are call procedural memories. These memories are responsible（负责的）for our performance.

Scientists have done many experiments on different memory types. The most famous of them was carried out Henry Gustav Molaison, an epileptic（癫痫患者）. In an operation in the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, the man suffered（遭受）less from epilepsy. But there was a new problem.

Molaison’s memory system went wrong. Through various tests, scientists found he could learn new skills（slowly, though）. However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. In other words, Molaison could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories.

Scientists have concluded that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven’t yet found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are stored in the brain’s center.

Now, “just like riding a bicycle” has been used as an idiom. Can you guess its meaning?

【1】Which of the following is an example of procedural memory?

A．Flying a kite.

B．The population of Italy.

C．Losing an ID card.

D．The first time I cooked.

【2】What was Henry Gustav Molaison’s new problem after the operation in the 1950s?

A．He couldn’t learn new skills.

B．He couldn’t remember anything.

C．He suffered more often from epilepsy.

D．He couldn’t develop new declarative memories.

【3】According to the passage, scientists don’t yet know for sure ________.

A．if there are many different types of memory

B．if procedural memories always last longer than declarative memories

C．why procedural memories often last longer than declarative memories

D．whether different types of memory are stored in different parts of our brains

【4】We can learn from the passage that declarative memories ________.

A．are responsible for our performance

B．can be passed on to other people

C．are stored in the brain’s center

D．aren’t easily affected by brain injuries

【5】What does “just like riding a bicycle” mean?

A．An ability that one is born with.

B．A task that lakes a long time to complete.

C．A skill that, once learned, is never forgotten.

D．Something that should be learned as early as possible.

28、根据短文内容和所给中文提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式，每空一词。

Sally is my best friend. Yesterday was her 【1】 (第十二) birthday, but she looked a bit 【2】 (不高兴的). I was 【3】 (担心) about her.

I asked her what was wrong with her. She 【4】 (回复). Last Thursday, she had a chemistry exam and she 【5】 (失败) it. But she didn’t tell her parents the truth, because she thought that her parents would get angry with her.

In my 【6】 (看法),parents are our closest friends. We’d better tell our parents the problems when we are in trouble. So I told her, “Sally, I think you should apologise to your parents as soon as possible, they always take 【7】 (照顾) of you. If your parents know that you told lies(说谎), they will be very sad.”

Hearing my words, Sally 【8】 (意识到) that she was wrong. She called her mother at once and said sorry to her. Her mother didn’t criticize(批评) her, she said to Sally, “Dear, it doesn’t matter, but you should never do that again.”
