21、Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge:to survive. We seem to be hard-wired to remember routes, so we can navigate our local environments safely. We’re also naturally talented at recognizing faces. Ever since we lived in groups? we humans have needed to know who’s “part of the pack”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe.

And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research study showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection. Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills.

In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have COVID. And guess what? Those “contaminated” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall. None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later—just in case it could keep them safe.

And it’s a reflex that you can use to your advantage. When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to? For example, are you constantly worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Then picture the bottle and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look一and smell! Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a much better chance of remembering the fresh milk you need.

Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! But, in those moments when your memory needs a boost, a small bit of revulsion can be very healthy for your recall.

【1】What does the underlined word “hard-wired” in the first paragraph mean?

A．Having a strong desire for something.

B．Having a poor ability to do something.

C．Having a natural talent for something.

D．Having a terrible feeling on something.

【2】What did the volunteers’ brains lock on first according to the study?

A．Items shown to the volunteers first.

B．Items volunteers later would be tested on.

C．Items which may carry infectious viruses.

D．Items volunteers would have to touch themselves.

【3】According to the passage, what is a good technique to remind yourself to go to the library before it closes?

A．Ask your friends to remind you.

B．Draw a picture of the library in your notebook.

C．Recall a happy memory that is related to the library.

D．Imagine the library tables piled with disgusting rubbish.

【4】What does the author want to convey through the text?

A．Having a good memory is of vital importance.

B．The desire to stay safe may boost our memory.

C．Our memories are influenced by many factors.

D．Healthy eating habit is significant to our health.

22、   University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm，went to great parties，joined the debating society…and，well，I did some work too--but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）．

It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus，most of us were out of our comfort zone．

In fact，a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3out of 4students experience high levels of stress，or a mental health condition，during their time at college．The survey，completed by over a thousand students，also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week，and 9% of students feel stressed constantly．

Kirsty，a student at Exeter University，didn't enjoy her first days in college．She says："When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends．I'd been with the same school friends for seven years，and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age．"

Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life--to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"

I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way．I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump．

25、Optimism and pessimism(消极) are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to ________ our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or ________. It’s our decision: from which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in ________ or down in desperation?

I believe in the upward look. I choose to ________ the positive and skip right over the negative.

An optimistic attitude is not a luxury(奢侈品); it’s a(n) ________. The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. ________, negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations ________ themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.

Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) ________ question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don’t look well,” he replied. This ________ me completely by surprise. A little ________ confidently, I told him that I had ________ felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.

By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little ________. About a block away, I ________ over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I ________ some rare disease?

On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling ________ again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful ________, and the light reflecting ________ the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had ________ the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total ________ change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single ________ observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
