26、Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic”-that means it learns all by itself. 【1】 We need to train ourselves to actively take part in the learning process. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”.
Listen to the outer voice. There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear. 【2】 If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker is saying, not on what their brain is saying.
Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, ask questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the act of working out questions will help you achieve a higher level of understanding. 【3】
Get to the truth. 【4】. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this.
【5】 Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They ignore what is said because of who the speaker is. This goes the other way as well - do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.
A.Focus on the message.
B.This isn’t always true.
C.This is human nature, after all.
D.In short: Do not stop being curious.
E.Active learners do not accept everything they learn.
F.If you find your inner voice difficult to control, argue with it.
G.Your inner voice can be useful, but it can also get in the way of learning.
27、Tsunamis, damaged buildings, and damaged power lines are just a few of the dangers you might face after an earthquake. 【1】
Go inland and seek higher ground.
In some cases, earthquakes can cause tsunamis in areas along the coast. These can happen minutes to hours after a strong earthquake. 【2】 Get to higher ground as far inland as possible Be careful near damaged buildings.
Do not enter a damaged building.
Earthquakes can damage buildings and make them unsafe. Wait until local authorities tell you it is safe to go inside. Leave your home or building if you hear shifting or unusual noises. 【3】
Inspect your home for damage.
Carefully check your home’s walls, floors, doors, windows, and staircases for damage. 【4】 Check gas, electrical, and water lines for damage. If you smell gas or see a broken line, shut off the main valve from the outside. Sparks from electrical switches could ignite gas, causing an explosion.
【5】
During and after an earthquake, it is natural to experience different and strong emotions. Coping with these feelings and getting help when you need it will help recover from a disaster. Conneet with family, friends, and others in your community. Take care of yourself and each other and know when and how to seek help.
A.Stay connected and informed.
B.Take care of your emotional health.
C.Strange noises could mean the building is about to fall.
D.Keep a fire extinguisher handy, and make sure your family knows how to use it.
E.If you see structural damage, you may need to relocate to a shelter or another safe location.
F.If you hear an official tsunami warning or notice signs of a tsunami, evacuate immediately.
G.Keep yourself safe after an earthquake by carefully following the recommendations below.
28、School is out for the summer in some areas, and for many children, that means weeks of sleeping in late, trips to the swimming pool or hours spent in front of the TV. These months of inactivity--- away from the daily tiring things of school--- are something that young people look forward to, but it can have a detrimental(不利的)influence on the knowledge they have.
Studies have shown that children lose a lot in math skills during the summer months. Children who spend little time learning experience a much greater amount of learning loss than those who often take part in summer programs.
So when school starts again in the fall, teachers often have to spend several weeks reteaching children material that they have forgotten.
Experts(专家)suggest that parents make sure the summer months are a time of continued learning. For example, they suggest that lunch time is good time to improve a child’s spoken skills, simply through conversation. A trip to the supermarket can be an opportunity to improve a child’s math skills by having him or her add up the cost of food. And there is no better way to prevent learning loss than by having a child read every day.
Fortunately, there are many programs that can help parents. The best place to start is at your local library. Most libraries have summer reading programs that are filled with fun activities. A strong musical education also improves learning. Find out summer music camps in your area.
We think that children should have fun during the summer break, but it should not be a vacation from learning. We strongly suggest parents should take advantage of the many educational opportunities available for their children during the coming weeks.

29、In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their class-rooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.
【1】According to the text, most students feel when entering the high school.
A.excited
B.nervous
