26、Summer's here and it won't be long before school-aged kids across America start complaining that they're tired of riding their bikes, playing at the park, swimming in the pool...and all the other awesome activities their parents hoped would keep them pleasant for the next 10 weeks. Well, if it's any comfort, such rapid boredom could suggest that the kids have amazing powers of memory. A new study shows that the better your short-term memory is, the faster you fed sated (过饱的）and decide you've had enough.

"Though satiation can be physical, like when you feel full after eating too much, we were interested in the psychological (心理学的）side of satiation. Like when you’re just tired of something," Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior. She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box." Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of same things at very different speeds. So if you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs."

The difference, the researchers thought, might have to do with memories of past experiences. For example, studies show that people push away from the dinner table sooner when they're asked to describe in detail what they ate earlier for lunch.

So the researchers tested the memory capacity (能力）of college students, The students then viewed a repeating series of three classic paintings...like The Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Scream...or listened and re-listened to a series of three pop songs...or three pieces of classical music. Throughout the test, the students were asked to rate（定等级）their experience from zero to tan. And the better a participant scored in the memory test, the faster they got bored." We found that people with larger capacities remembered more about the music or art, which led to them getting tired of the music or art more quickly. So remembering more details actually made the students feel like they'd experienced the music or art more often."

The findings suggest that marketers could control our desire for their products by figuring out ways to keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ourselves into eating less junk food by putting ourselves in the memory of a previous (之前的）snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to forget about it—it might help them have more fun.

【1】According to the new study, kids get tired of some activities quickly because of   .

A. too many activities   B. good short-term memory

C. fast satiation   D. physical tiredness

【2】The researchers did a test on college students and found that   .

A. lower capacities could help them remember more about the music or art

B. these students got tired of things at the same speed

C. they remembered the three classic paintings better than the songs

D. students with larger memory capacity would get bored faster

【3】The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to   .

A. the past memory   B. the past capacity

C. the past boredom   D. the past complaints

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. School-aged kids tend to have good short-term memory in summer.

B. Bad short-term memory is more likely to make us lose interest in something easily.

C. The quality of your short-term memory affects the speed you feel bored.

D. It is important to develop the memory capacity of college students.

27、Are you worried about moving up to senior high school? Have you ever thought about how to spend your senior high school life? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn't be frightened. Here are some tips to help you.

You are not alone. Maybe you do not notice that everybody else in your grade is just as nervous as you are. 【1】 Try to see your new school as a chance instead of a problem. Relax, and be open-minded.

【2】 Living up to senior high school means learning new rules and meeting different people. If you don't know what to do or have problems, you should ask for help. Teachers are certainly the best people to turn to because they have experience in dealing with students' problems, including helping them get used to the new environment. Also, if you cannot attend school for several days, ask your teachers about any missed work. It is your responsibility to catch up, not theirs.

Organize your time. There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have to deal with various projects and assignments from different subjects, so make sure you are wise in organizing your time. 【3】Try to make yourself a schedule or a plan to manage your tasks. This will help you take actions earlier and become less likely to delay.

Avoid being late. 【4】 But being late for unacceptable reasons, such as getting up late, or meeting a friend, is not allowed. Always remember that your school has ground rules with regards to the number of times you can be late. If you are a person who is late or absent too many times, your school may punish you. Additionally, you may have to spend a lot of time and effort catching up on the schoolwork missed because of your lateness.

Make sure you get enough sleep. Going to bed early makes a difference. 【5】 It is mainly because they go to bed so late and thus do not get enough sleep. Many studies show that a night of good sleep makes you more focused in class.

A．It is risky to start on your work a few days before your deadline.

B．If it is for acceptable reasons, it's understandable to be late or absent.

C．Do not risk your future.

D．So remember that you all are in the same boat.

E．Your friends will help you solve them.

F．The teachers will help.

G．Some students find it hard to get up early in the morning.

29、   One summer during high school, my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree. I thought, imagining hours spent pawing through dusty, rotting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn't know. "You'll be surprised," my mom promised, "Family histories can be very interesting."

In truth, Grandpa didn't want to limit my work to just research, hoping to also preserve our family memories. He'd discovered a computer program that helps digitally scan old pictures and letters to preserve their contents before they crumble from old age. Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program. He could type documents and send emails, but had never used a scanner.

Soon after, I became fascinated with my relatives' lives. I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned. The stories, which turned out not to be boring at all, helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives. I became so hungry for more information that Grandpa needed additional props to keep me satisfied. He showed me a chest filled with random stuff, all covered in dust.

Perusing through their belongings, I felt I was opening a window into the world of my relatives, a world long since gone. Grandpa showed me a bundle of letters he had sent to Grandma from the front lines of World War II and I could almost smell the gunpowder. I turned the pages of my great-grandmother's recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen. All of the people who had been merely names to me now had faces to match.

Later, Grandpa admitted, "I probably could have done this project myself. I just wanted someone to share it with." I can't thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me the person I am. I will cherish family memories and hope that someday will be able to pass them down to my own grandchildren.

【1】Which of the following can best describe the author's first impression of research?

A．Delightful.

B．Tiresome.

C．Surprising.

D．Interesting

【2】What does the underlined word "crumble" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Come to life.

B．Tear apart.

C．Fall to pieces.

D．Break through.

【3】What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage?

A．He used to serve in the army.

B．He knew nothing about computer.

C．He buried the letters under gunpowder.

D．He loved sharing what he had with others.

【4】Why did grandpa give the author a chest?

A．To show him a bundle of  letters.

B．To keep him from boredom.

C．To give him something to sort out.

D．To fulfill his desire to know more.
