Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was complaining
how difficult it was to study English..No surprises there. It is a difficult language to master, just
like Chinese. I made a few suggestions based on my～experience. One involved a very valuable
fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher, Dr. Smith．He is a gifted linguist （语言学家），and has an amazing ability to memorize things, like poetry, essays, speeches, etc．His advice to us students is that for memorization purposes, there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more receptive than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes.
This 40-minute "super memory" period is divided into two parts: the 20 minutes before we
sleep, hnd the 20 minutes after we first awake. The theory supporting this is pretty simple. First,
the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than
information obtained during the noisy daytime; and，second, our mind is free of disturbance when
we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs, like a blank slate（石板）．
I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years．In my university days,
our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day, on which we would be
quizzed the following day. Without the "magic" 40-minute technique, there's no way I would have
passed those daily quizzes.
As far as language study goes, it's not only useful for memorizing vocabulary. It's also a very
useful window of time to listen to the language we're studying even with background noise, and
even if it's at a level we find difficult to understand. It might be audio（声音的）language study
aids, or just radio, TV or whatever.
Beyond our years of formal education, memory skills are hugely important in any career.
How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from. a prepared text, or read the
word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide? These are
annoying, boring, and ineffective ways of communicating. They are almost guaranteed to lose the
audience's close attention and interest, let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything. And
yet lots of people still make this mistake.
If we use the 40-minute technique, we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation
content on a 100% word-by-word basis, but we'll be familiar enough so that we can spend much
more time making eye contact with our audience. We will engage them in the process, while
glancing at our text instead of staring at it. This will also free up our hands and arms to convey
some extra messages through gesture．
As you see, the technique really works, but like many things,- it takes practice to perfect it.
Therefore，we'd better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom，as regularly and
frequently as possible. One fundamental rule of language learning is, "Use it, or lose it·”
Seize the' forty-minute learning window and we'll bring in a rich harvest of language learning.
41 ．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1？
A. Dr. Smith is born with the great ability to memorize things．
B ．It is surprising that English is as difficult to master as Chinese.

D ．The author made a few suggestions on learning English based on his teacher's experience.

A ．it is less noisy in the forty minutes than in the daytime
B ．we are always more peaceful when we awake in the morning
C ．our brain is more active in the forty minutes than the other time
D ．the last information obtained before bed is more likely to remain
43 ．We can learn from the passage that the 40-minute technique＿．
A. guarantees that we understand the difficult language
B ．aids a speaker in reading his speech from a prepared text
C ．helps the author pass those daily quizzes in his university days
D ．makes a speaker memorize the presentation content completely
44 ．What's the author's attitude towards the 40-minute technique?

【2021高考复习】阅读理解
Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children’s every demand at Christmas，say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish，claim the education analysts.
Consumersavvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.
Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said，“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids.There’s nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not ageappropriate.”
Ms Calland，who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson，added，“Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped，once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for，they have now lost interest in.”
Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”．
Ms Calland said，“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”
“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind，they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”

Probably you have seen photos of the Grand Canyon（峡谷）, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world
The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today the canyon is 1.5 kilometers and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.
The canyon looks different at different times of day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.
The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come here and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.
The North rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colorful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.
