On the tip of a tree which had lost all its other leaves, two still remained hanging from one branch: Ole and Trufa. For some reason unknown to them, Ole and Trufa had   36   all the rains and winds. But Ole and Trufa believed the answer  37  in the great love they bore one another. One leaf can do   38  for another when the wind blows, the rain pours.   39  , Ole encouraged Trufa at every opportunity.

At times during cold and stormy nights, Ole would 40 : “My time has come, Trufa, but you hang on!"

"What for?" Trufa asked. "Without you, my life is  41  . If you fall, I'll fall with you. "

One day just as Trufa spoke these words, what they two had   42  all these months happened―wind came up and tore Ole  43  from the branch. Soon Ole disappeared from sight and Trufa was left all alone on the tree.

As long as it was still day, Trufa managed somehow to  44  her sorrow. But when it grew dark and cold, she  45  despair. Somehow she felt that the blame for all the leafy  46  was laid on the tree. Leaves fell, but the trunk stood tall, and  47  rooted in the wood. No wind, or rain could  48  it.

One night, Trufa dozed off. The next morning, to her   49   , she found that she was no longer  50  on the tree. The wind had blown her down while she was asleep. She  51  now that she wasn't just a leaf that  52  the wind, but that she was  53 of the universe.

Next to her lay Ole, and they  54  each other with a love they hadn't been aware of before. This wasn't a love that depended on chance, but a love as powerful and   55  as the universe itself.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆安徽省高三上學(xué)期第三次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：信息匹配

 It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened，what did you do? Next time this happens again，what should you do?

You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意識(shí)的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim（模糊的）memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.

That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.

You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.

Problem

People 1.______ to recall what they are sure they know.

Solution

They are 2.______ not to try to recall it immediately. They can do something else for a while 3._____ of thinking hard about it.

4.______

It takes time for the subconscious activities to go to work to dig up a dim memory, in which case forcing oneself to recall can make the memory 5._____.

Example

Students find the preparatory method of great 6.______ in examinations. They, having read over the questions, first answer easy ones. 7._____, the subconscious activities are 8._____ to deal with harder ones.

9.______

People should offer their mind time to work so that a dim memory can be 10._____ up.
