22、Given that the dictionary definition of curiosity is “the desire to know something”, it may be of little surprise that much research has concerned its benefits for education.

Consider a study at the University of California at Davis in 2014. The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions, such as “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean?” The participants then lay in an fMRI brain scanner (扫描仪) while the same questions were presented, followed shortly after by the answers. The participants were then tested on their recollection of the facts an hour later.

The effects of curiosity on later recall were striking. When the participants were highly curious about a fact, they were 30% more likely to recall it. And this seemed to correspond to heightened activity in areas of the midbrain that release dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is normally associated with reward, but animal studies suggest that it can also enhance the formation of new neural(神经的) connections. It looked as if the feeling of curiosity was helping prepare the brain to absorb the new and important information, and this then resulted in a more stable memory.

Interestingly, the researchers found that the dopamine hit, arising from initial curiosity, could even enhance the memory of incidental information that had no direct relevance to the primary question. To demonstrate this, they had presented random faces alongside the answers to the questions and, an hour later, checked whether the participants still recognized the faces. The analyses showed that the participants were far more likely to remember the face if it had accompanied a question that had awakened their curiosity.

This additional, and unexpected, memory boost could be extremely useful whenever we’re trying to learn something new and complicated. We’re unlikely, after all, to find every single element of our studies interesting. But if we can develop some curiosity about at least some of the facts, we may find that the rest of the material also sticks far more easily.

【1】Which aspect of curiosity did the study focus on?

A．Its scientific definition.

B．Its unique characteristics.

C．Its influences on memory.

D．Its benefits for brain health.

【2】What was the purpose of presenting questions to the participants first?

A．To assess their learning ability.

B．To awaken their passion for learning.

C．To measure their curiosity about the questions.

D．To refresh their memory of extinct wild animals.

【3】What can be learned about dopamine according to Paragraph 3?

A．It blocks memory.

B．It facilitates learning.

C．It promotes friendship.

D．It cures neural disorder.

【4】Which message about learning does the unexpected finding deliver?

A．Generate interest in study.

B．Locus on essential information.

C．Make learning materials related.

D．Attach importance to memorization.

24、After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.” The other woman my wife referred to was my mother, having been a widow for 19 years, but being busy made it possible for me to visit her occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong? Are you well?” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I think that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded, “just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, saying, “I would like that very much.” As I drove over to pick her up that Friday after work, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed she, too, seemed to be nervous. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

She smiled just like an angel. “I told my friends I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed. They can’t wait to hear about our meeting,” she said, getting into the car. We went to a nice restaurant. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, my mother said happily, “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small. It’s time that you returned the favor.” I responded. During the dinner, we had a wonderful conversation, talking about recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house, she said, “Next time, let me invite you to go out.” I agreed.

“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice, much more than I could have imagined,” I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a receipt from the restaurant Mother and I had dined, reading, “I paid this bill in advance. I am not sure I can be there. I paid for two plates. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of “I LOVE YOU”. Give it to our loved ones the time that they deserve, because it cannot be put off till “some other time”.

【1】Why did the mother and the son both feel nervous when they planned to have dinner?

A．Because the writer didn’t often invite his mom to eat out.

B．Because it was the first time for the mother to eat out.

C．Because the mother thought there was a sign of bad news.

D．Because the writer didn’t get along well with his mom.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be lost forever, by the U. S. education system. Remarkably, he could read. Yet, in spite of his reading skills, Steve was failing.   He had been failing since first grade, as he was passed on from grade to grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a twelve-year-old. Yet, Steve went unnoticed until Miss White.

Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve loved her!For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework,   and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.

In the middle of the first semester of school, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things, as the day went

on.   His heart was not in school, but in the woods, where he often escaped alone, trying to shutout the sights, sounds and smells of his alcoholic home. No one checked on him to see if he was safe. No one knew he was gone, because no one was sober (清醒的) enough to care. Oddly, Steve never missed a day of school.

One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams.

“Steve!” Startled, he turned to look at her.

“Pay attention!” she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You all did pretty well,” she told the class, ”except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but. . “She hesitated, pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare, her eyes searching his face.

“The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

She just stared at Steve, as the class spun around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.

After that, Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more severe, he remained stubborn.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

“You are smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing fazed him.

Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally unattainable and perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM?!
