A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can 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” and 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, learning over and over again increases the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and make ourselves remember 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 lead to a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he may soon forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.41. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B.

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 can increase stdents’ interestBSu Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security.

Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same. Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These people are not really friends. They are only “friends” on the outside, not the insi de where it counts. They only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends in to the real or the “false”.True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.49. “So-called” friends refer to ________ .A. fair-weather friendsB. those who want to benefit from youC. the friends who are on the surface onlyD. all of the above50.
