effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there
are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up
and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night
before.
Memory "tricks" work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something
and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my
turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across
the street from my office.

"tricks" of our memory can cause us great trouble.

chances are they will tune you out.
Take the fellow who opens: "On my way over to the club tonight, I ran into a bum (流浪汉) who asked
me for $ 49.50 for a cup of coffee. I told him he"d do much better if he asked for a quarter. He said, "Do
you think I"m going into the Ritz in these clothes?"" We know his purpose: to win his audience over with
humor. His bit of humor, however, has no connection with his speech. He has his audience laughing at the
wrong time. Once you have an audience laughing it"s hard to get them to switch to an entirely different train
of thought. There is nothing wrong with humor in a speech as long as it has something to do with the purpose
of his speech. To open a speech with humor just to be entertaining invites an almost sure"turnoff" for the
remainder of the talk.
B. A sense of humor.
C. The opening remarks.
D. A forceful ending.
B. make his audience laugh
C. be fresh and different
D. be reserved for the end
B. cause your audience to lose interest
C. make your audience go away at once
D. have your audience laugh with you
B. Humor is important in the success of your speech.
C. Your humor should be relevant (相关的) and timely.
D. An outstanding speech is full of jokes.

the TV, or her boyfriend, she said"the phone". Personally I could do without the phone, which makes me
unusual, because the telephone is changing our life more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more
traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the
very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone didn"t exist, would she have anything to talk
about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone."The mobile saved my life," says Lucy. She
had an accident in her Volvo. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows Marketing Manager of a large company to ring his sales
staff all around the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last
meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. A person said,"We worked in separate offices but I could see him
through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn"t meet for the first two
weeks!"
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete
strangers at the same time on chat lines. We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts while
they"re space-walking. And with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the
biggest library on Earth.

2. Why is the mobile phone important to us according to Para.3 (Point 2)?
___________________________________________________________________________________
3. Does the person in Para.5 (Point 4) feel happy or sad about the telephone? Why?
____________________________________________________________________________________
4. What does the underlined phrase"hook up to" mean?

5. Please draw up a title for the passage.

the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what
you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are
not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends-you are in a slightly (稍微的) unnatural
situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak
so that they can hear you-loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force
yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your
school or a govemment official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease
but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that
you can be heard.
B. quiet
C. having a rest
D. serious
B. sometimes the same as
C. sometimes not. the same as
D. not the same as
B. to be very gentle
C. to make sure that you can be heard
D. to put the official at ease
A. that we must speak loudly to make ourselves heard when stating our opinions in serious situations
B. that we must keep silent at any time
C. that we must talk with the class
them. They have always complained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not
trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have no
sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their
teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt, when young.
For example, young people like doing things without careful consideration: it is one of their ways of
showing that they can accept a challenge. Older people worry more easily: most of them plan things ahead, at
least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
So my advice to you is this: when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend
something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance.
Young people often annoy their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and
music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society
of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and entertainers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles annoy
their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they
are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you don"t obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did
accept, it looks as if you are tricking your own age group. But in that case, you are supposing that you are the
underdog: you can"t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is
natural enough, after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents" control. But it
ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of the plan. You can impress others, especially
parents, with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do.
B. parents are always behind the times
C. parents talk too much about certain problems
D. parents don"t believe their children can deal with crises
B. Controlling them.
C. Entertaining them.
D. Cooperating with them.
B. it is impossible for young people to get along well with older people
C. older people tend to forget what they felt when they were young
D. older people often lead the way in fashion
B. seems less likely to succeed
C. likes to cheat his own age group
D. looks down upon others around him
