26、Grown-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. 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 of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding 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（例外） 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 pass 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.

【1】What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

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.

【2】The author tells the experience in childhood in order to __________.

A. remember the good old days

B. let readers follow the example

C. explain the law of overlearning

D. help readers understand the importance of knowledge

【3】According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is__________.

A. a step towards studies   B. a result of overlearning

C. a special case of cramming   D. a skill to deal with math problems

【4】What is the author's opinion on cramming?

A. It's helpful only in a limited way.   B. It causes failure in college exams.

C. It's possible to result in poor memory.   D. It increases students' learning interest.

27、More and more English-educated Chinese Singaporean parents are realizing the importance for their children to be not only good at the all important English language, but also good at Chinese. China has become a great political and economic superpower and they want their children to become bilingual.

It is common knowledge that, to master any language, especially one's mother tongue, one must begin from childhood. But there are challenges and barriers for children of English-speaking homes to succeed in their journey towards bilingualism.

Take my family as an example. While my wife and I are products of English education, we had some foundation(基础）in Chinese which we kept up in our working life. But the language of communication in our home is mainly English.

We are glad that our three children, had between eight and eleven years' Chinese schooling before switching over to English schools. Their foundation in Chinese has become an advantage in their adult life. They can hold their own in the spoken language, but would find it hard to write a business letter in Chinese for lack of usage.

We have a grandson who will be two years old shortly. His parents have given my wife and I the unenviable(令人为难的，令人不愉快的）task of making him bilingual. It is a very tough assignment, as we are with him for only a couple of hours on most days. For the rest of the time, he is being surrounded by English sounds by his busy parents.

Fortunately, our perseverance is paying off. After eight months, he has been used to hearing Chinese sounds, and even he can now quite comfortably identify common everyday objects in Chinese.

【1】Why is it becoming necessary for some Chinese Singaporean children to learn Chinese?

A．Because most of the Singaporeans come from China.

B．Because their parents are missing their motherland.

C．Because China has become a great political and economic superpower.

D．Because China is the official language in the UN.

【2】The underlined word “bilingual” in Paragraph 1 probably means

A．a person who knows English

B．a person who knows Chinese

C．a person who knows only one language

D．a person who knows two languages

【3】What do we know about the author and his children?

A．He lives in China now.

B．His children hate learning English.

C．He usually speaks English at home.

D．His three children master Chinese very well.

【4】The author used the example of teaching his grandson mainly to prove that ________ .

A．there are challenges for children of English-speaking homes to learn Chinese

B．his foundation in Chinese is a big advantage in teaching his grandson

C．he is quite good at teaching little children Chinese

D．learning Chinese is very popular in Singapore

28、   It’s Earth’s birthday! The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old! In honour of our planet, former U. S. Senator Gaylord Nelson decided we needed a special day to celebrate and learn how to care for our environment. He wrote letters to many schools about the day he planned because he knew kids like you would help.

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. Many environmental laws were passed, and people all over the country made promises to protect the environment.

Since then, Earth Day has spread around the world and people are working together to create cleaner air and energy to take care of Mother Nature. Learn how you, your family and friends can start making a difference too!

Earth Day is now celebrated by hundreds of millions of people in more than 180 countries. Here are some ways that you can help re-energize the Earth and celebrate too!

·Visit a nature conservancy(保护协会). Nature conservancies teach us how to preserve our natural history.

·Have an Earth Day block party! Invite neighbourhood kids to plant gardens or trees or pick up trash. Then celebrate your achievements with some Earth Day’ treats and nature music.

·Challenge your family to “go green”. Walk, bicycle, carpool or take the bus to reduce greenhouse gases and get outdoors!

·Wear green, a nature or Earth Day T-shirt to help spread the word about caring for our environment.

·Make a “planet promise” to reduce your energy use and recycle.

We hope you’ll use some of these ideas during the week of April 22 to celebrate and give back to the Earth that gives so much to us.
