Some people seem to have extraordinary (非凡的）memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!

You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structures（結(jié)構(gòu)）of ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes show no difference.

That’s because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron (神經(jīng)元期刊) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training.

Researchers found that technique (技巧）called loci, invented by ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain’s memory networks. You can link（關(guān)聯(lián)）something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be handle（把手）on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.

In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 words. First they could only remember 26 of them. But when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.

“Not everyone can become a memory champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they’re at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

1. It's life having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or map.

2. But she drives aimlessly(無目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?

3. They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach.

4. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and what direction you want to aim your life.

5. They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you closer to your goals.

How do you like your school? Have you ever written to your headmaster to express your idea? Here are some letters written by students from different schools.

Luke, 14, from Jiangsu

I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we students have to wear uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports kit (服裝) looks really dark and old. It can’t stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colors and make a new type of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about it.

Danny, 14, from Zhejiang

I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more hobby classes in science, such as plane model making class and computer programming class. It is really boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise. Lots of students now don’t have a strong enough body.

Sam, 15, from Shanxi

I’d like to say thank you to my headmaster. About one week ago, I got a bad cold after playing basketball. Our headmaster came to me after he knew about it. He took care of me until my parents came. I really want to thank him for that.

Helen, 14, from Shandong

In the letter I wrote, I want to talk about the possibility of personal classes. Now many middle schools are trying the “personal class" system. Students don’t have regular classes. They can choose lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise. We don’t have to stay in one classroom all the time.

1.Luke gives some suggestions about ______ in his letter.

A. hobby classes B. personal classes C. school uniform D. basketball playing

2.The reasons why Danny gives two suggestions are that ______.

A. students have too few classes every day and they love sports

B. studying basic subjects only is boring and students are too weak

C. hobby classes are interesting and students have no PE lessons at all

D. students want to cancel the basic subjects and they want to have more sports lessons

3.According to the passage, most students write to their headmasters about ______.

A. personal experiences B. how to make schools better

C. spare time activities D. how to deal with other students

A

Light and Reflection

Light is another type of wave that carries energy. A source of light (光源) such as the sun or a light bulb gives off light rays that travel away from the light source in all directions.

A light ray is a narrow beam (光束) of light that travels in a straight line.

Most objects around you do not give off light on their own. They can be seen only if the light from another source bounces off (反彈) them and into your eyes. The process of light hitting an object and bouncing off is called reflection.

Look at the picture. The light is given off by the light bulb. Some of these light rays hit the page and are reflected (反射). The student sees the page when some of the reflected light rays enter the student’s eyes.

When a light ray hits a surface (表面) and is reflected, the reflected ray obeys the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (入射角) is always the same as the angle of reflection. This is the law of reflection. And this is true for any surface, no matter what material it is made of.

1.From the passage we know __________ is a source of light.

A. the eyes B. the moon C. the sun D. the book

2.From the passage we know that because of __________, the student can see the page.

A. the light bulb B. the book C. the light waves D. the reflected rays

3.According the last paragraph, if the angle of incidence is 35°, the angle of reflection should be _____.

A. 15° B. 35° C. 55° D. 70°
