Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.AAdults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can (55) swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still (56) away. A mother who has not (57) the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: (58) we have learned something, additional learning increases the (59) of time we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and (60) ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but (61) .The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, (62)it may result in a passing grade, is not a (63)way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, (64), is usually a good investment toward the future.55. A.56. A.57. A.only movethought aboutB.B.B.hardlydrive cared forC.C.C.still travelshowed upD.D.D.even ridebrought up58.

European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, (65)cash encouragement, some women just dont want to be (66)holdingthe baby. “What we know is that its good for the (67) Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. (68)if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use amere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) (69) day off work.Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers (70) to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave(产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months paid leave, with a warning: use it or (71) it.Kindlund admits that men are under (72) to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “Its not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says. “But its good for the father and for the child if they can (73) a relationship.”In Norway, a(n) (74) policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.65.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals at night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several peoples lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, its easy to take people in,” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didnt think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadnt showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders.“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生) who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure t
