Why are your study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others?     16     Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual (视觉型), Auditory (听觉型) and Kinesthetic (动觉型).

    17     If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs and videos, you are probably a visual learner.     18     Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead if you find that works better for you.

Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner.     19     It’s the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow yourfriend’s notes to copy.

    20     If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.

A．One reason you may not know is that people have different learning types.

B．Visual learners learn best by hearing

C．You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking

D．Visual learners learn best by seeing.

E．Many people have the same learning method.

F．Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing.

G．You're not good at copying down what the teacher says in class.

As the Internet is developing fast, more and more new words and phrases have been created in Chinese. Here are some examples.

One of the most popular words is Dianzan, which is often used when you quite agree with someone. Another example is Renxing.

When you say somebody is Renxing, you mean that they will do whatever they like. The phrase Miaosha first came from online shopping, which means you can complete your shopping orders before others. But now it’s widely used when you achieve your purpose in a very short time. If you describe somebody as a Tuhao, you mean that he is very rich.

It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs playing, and I was looking out of the window and saw my father moving around the front garden. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.

He looked up, smiling, “I’m making you a surprise.” Dad didn’t say more. And caught up in the busyness of our new life, I forgot about his surprise totally after a long time.

One day in the following March, I looked out and noticed that there was still some snow littering the garden. Would winter ever end?

And yet … was it a miracle (幻想)? I saw something pink in the snow. To find out what it was, I put on my coat and headed outside for a closer look.

There, bravely waving in the wind, were crocuses (番红花). They were throughout the front garden, with different colors like blue, yellow and my favorite pink.

“It’s Dad,” I smiled, remembering the seeds he had secretly planted last autumn. My eyes were filled with tears. He knew how the darkness anddrearinessof winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely and more suitable for my needs? How happy I was, not only for the flowers but also for my father.

My father’s crocuses came out each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same belief (信念) every time they arrived: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The crocuses were in flower for only several days each year, but they built my belief for a lifetime.

31. The writer saw her father ________ on the autumn morning.

A．picking the colorful crocuses

C．Surprised.

D．Worried.

33. What surprise did the writer’s father give her?

B．A new house.

C．Some crocus seeds.

D．A garden of crocuses.

34. What does the underlined word “dreariness” mean in Chinese?

A．明媚

B．沉闷

C．短暂

D．洁净

35. What’s the best title for the text?

A．Father’s crocuses

Bill is a good boy. He’s smart. He loves his school and is always     36     in class. Every time the teacher asks a question, Bill puts up his hand. Sometimes his answer is wrong, but the teacher     37     smiles and says, “Good, Bill. But is there a better answer to my question?”

This morning the teacher asked, “Swallows (燕子) go to the south before     38     comes. But     39     don’t cats and dogs go to the south for the winter?” As usual, Bill put up his hand and said loudly, “Because they have     40     wings (翅膀).”

It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution—the war that freed the American states from British control—began over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.

The British people’s love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over much of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea-drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continent’s most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the country—mostly from India.

In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products. And it always decided on a high price!

In North America, the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good and much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didn’t care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.

The East India Company, however, didn’t like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders—a huge amount of money in a time when $60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.

In 1767, the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything. The American leaders asked the British government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans’ anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.

41. In the early 1700s where did most tea drunk in America come from?

A．China.

B．India.

C．America.

D．Britain.

42. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A．the tea maker

B．the American government

C．the British government

D．the East India Company

43. Why did many Americans begin to buy tea from the Dutch traders?

A．The tea was much cheaper.

B．The tea was a lot healthier.

C．They could buy it more easily.

D．They didn’t want to support the British.

44. What did the East India Company do to stop losing money?

A．It reduced the price of its tea.

B．It improved the taste of its tea.

C．It introduced a new kind of tea.

D．It asked the British government for help.

45. What is the passage mainly about?

A．Tea trade in eighteenth-century America.

B．The relationship between America and Britain.

C．A reason for the start of the American Revolutionary War.

D．The introduction of British tea-drinking habits into America.
