7 . Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you came into it in the first place? I couldn’t agree more when I read an article from Live Science that stated, “There are several types of memories, and the brain has a unique way of forgetting each kind.” Memory does some funny things. While forgetting is a normal and vital part of our brain function, we have to admit that memory can be a mysterious and naughty joker. One of the most common mysteries is a short-term memory failure where people find themselves entering a room with no memory of why they did so.

Everyone has experienced this at least once in their lives. We call it a “senior moment”, but researchers say it’s actually okay to put the blame on our doorways and not on our ageing brains. The act of walking through a doorway sends a signal to our brains that a new scene has started and that previous memories should be put away. This is what causes our memory failure and confusion. The thoughts we had before we entered that new scene have actually been sectionalized (分区). In an interview with Live Science Gabriel Radvansky, a psychologist at the University of Norte Dame said, “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind.”

I find this amazing, as I watch it happen to people all around me every day. I guess I should stop telling them they’re getting old and actually explain the cause. For me it’s not doorways that cause a problem. It’s flights of stairs. Every so often I find myself going up the stairs and forgetting why I did so just as soon as I’ve reached the landing. What’s up with that? Now if I can only find out what that means, I’d be truly fascinated.

1. What contributes to our “senior moment” according to the researchers?

A．Ageing brains.

B．Doorways.

C．Different moments.

D．The same scenes.

2. Which of the following is Radvansky likely to agree with?

A．Walking through a doorway makes us nervous in the mind.

B．Sectionalized thoughts disappear when we enter a new scene.

C．Too many events in life are harmful to our brain memory.

D．Exiting through doorways causes short memory failures.

3. What may confuse the author?

A．Whether he should explain the cause to others.

B．How much he was fascinated by science.

C．How many people suffer from doorway problems.

D．Why going up the stairs makes him forgetful.

4. What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Short memory failures do have scientific reasons.

B．Our brain has several types of memories.

C．Everyone has a unique way of forgetting things.

D．Psychology theories can help us improve memories.

8 . There are a lot of reasons why we may have to get up early. Maybe it’s for work, or maybe it’s to get your kids ready for school.     1     But if you’re not naturally a morning person, how can you wake up early? Here are some ways to help you.

Light.

The most powerful way to get your body feeling awake is to expose yourself to light. When you’re exposed to bright sunlight, your hormone (激素) tells the body, “Hey, it’s time to be awake.”     2     Those lights will signal to your body that it’s still daytime, which definitely won’t help if you’re trying to go to bed on time for an early wake-up.

Naps.

    3     Sleep doctors call that a “sleep debt,” and just like credit card debt, it has to get repaid for your body to function well. If it doesn’t, you might end up suffering the more serious consequences of sleep deprivation. Naps are a great way to squeeze in some extra shut-eye. Sleep studies show naps even as short as 10 minutes can make a difference!     4     If we nap too late, too close to bedtime, then it’ll make it hard for us to go to sleep at night.

    5    

Create an encouragement to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe that’s a mindfulness exercise to remind yourself of who or what you’re waking up early for. Something as simple as promising yourself a nice breakfast as soon as you get out of bed can do the trick.

A．Reward yourself.

B．Be strict with yourself.

C．For some people, waking up early just feels natural.

D．So don’t expose your eyes to bright lights at night.

E．Try waking up even a few minutes earlier than you need to.

F．Waking up early often means that we wake up sleep deprived (被剥夺).

G．Try to keep naps under an hour and toward the middle of the day or earlier in the afternoon.

9 . Jerry was born on October 14, 1966. Shortly after birth, he was discovered to have a heart defect (缺陷) and quickly had an operation to save his life. Although he always thought his childhood to be “normal”, there were quite a few things that made him a little different. He couldn’t do heavy farm work like his brothers and his classmates called him “grape juice” because his lips would turn purple in gym class.

After another operation, Jerry went on to live a very full life. He studied in a technical school and met his love after graduation. They married in 1989, and in 1993, the first light of Jerry’s life was born.

Growing up with Jerry as my dad was the greatest blessing of my life. He was always full of life and light, making anyone around smile. He never wanted to draw attention to his medical condition. Even many of his close friends and co-workers were unaware of his heart problem. To all of us he was just a normal guy — that was just the way he wanted it.

I didn’t know or understand my father was sick until he was placed a pacemaker (心脏起搏器). Despite several times of unconsciousness, and 19 days’ stay in ICU, he managed to celebrate Christmas with us and even work as usual. With his wide laugh, I soon adjusted to a “new normal” father. The progress and life, as we now know, came to a grinding halt one night after he came down with a cold.

He was picked up by a helicopter. The nurse said my dad was in good spirits throughout the trip, cracking jokes and making her laugh. When he was unloaded, his eyes rolled back and was unresponsive. The man who loved his life and family was gone.

My dad taught me many lessons. But probably the most important one was in his death. I know as I celebrate his incredible life, he will be looking down on me with smile.

1. What’s paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．Jerry’s family and friends.	B．Jerry’s first operation.
C．Jerry’s birth and childhood.	D．Jerry’s love for life.

2. What is “the first light” of Jerry’s life?

C．His brother.	D．His child.

3. What does the underlined phrase “a grinding halt” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．A sudden stop.	B．A turning point.
C．A bright stage.	D．A quick recovery.

4. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Smile at Death	B．Silent Love from Father
