One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.

Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).

On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After

she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap,

saying. "I promid you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I

turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a

baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it.

I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was

gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little

thing had been nt to a hospital. It had a fever. For veral days,

I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless",

"pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.

Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any prents this ye

ar." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If

your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he

spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. I'd never en him cry

before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped

out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What?

He's all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital

said we can bring Richard home!"

"Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to

the car. I had never en them happy. And I was also full of joy.

What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran

downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat. But I knew they were

not empty; they were filled with love!

B

Grown-ups are often surprid 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. He can

play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. 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, additional

learning trials(尝试)increa the length of time we will remember

it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as

swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baball long after we have

learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourlves 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 to the

general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn

in school, becau 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 cour. By cramming, a

student may learn the subject well enough to get by on 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.

60. What is the main idea of paragraph I?

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 arc easy to remember.

61. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.

A. prenting rearch findings

B. lling down general rules

C. making a comparison

D. using examples

62. According to the author, being able to u multiplication

tables is_______.

A. a result of overlearning

B. a special ca of cramming

C. a skill to deal with math problems

D. a basic step towards advanced studies

63. What is the author's opinion on cramming?

A. It leads to failure in college exams.

B. It's helpful only in a limited way.

C. It's possible to result in poor memory.

D. It increas students' learning interest.

If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate

his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot

of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put

them out.

While many peop le in China will remember Confucius on his

special day, few people in the United States will give him a

passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t

even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about

Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners

must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades, the Chine studies programs have

gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently,

the Chine government has t up Confucius Institutes in more

than 80 countries. The schools teach both Chine language

and culture. The main cours of Chine culture

usually included Chine art, history and philosophy（哲学）.

Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take

advantages of the ancient Chine wisdom to make up for the

drawbacks (缺点) of Westerners philosophy. Students in the

United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chine. So

they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal

power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make

money in China are reading books abo ut Confucius to

understand their Chine customers.

So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will

need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chine culture

to the West.

As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by

people in the West, even if his birthday is.

68. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A. provide some key facts about Confucius

B. attract the readers’ interest in the subject

C. show great respect for the ancient thinker

D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

69. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American

students______.

A. have a great interest in studying Chine

B. take an active part in Chine competitions

C. try to get high scores in Chine exams

D. fight for a chance to learn Chine

70. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Forgotten Wisdom in America

B. Huge Fans of the Chine Language

C. Chine Culture for Westerners

D. Old Thinker with a Big Future
