A
Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.
Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.
First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.
If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.
41.   The first two paragraphs just tell us             .
A．Barbara was a very rich person．     B．examples of memory problems
C．Mark often forgot his friends’ names     D．language problems of two persons
42．When you forget things, you _______.
A．must be too careless                   B．shouldn’t take notice of the result
C．must accept the fact                   D．shouldn’t lose heart about your memory
43．According to the passage, _____ can make your memory better.
A．realizing your memory problems  B．talking to your friends
C．doing sports every day                    D．making mind pictures of what you see
44．The purpose of the passage is to help you ______.
A．to introduce the guest                     B．to improve your memory
C．to remember new words        D．to forget unhappy things

B
Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, very mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.
On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long–term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.
Some societies have “universalist” cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.
This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check–in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check–in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don’t have his problem.
45. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians ______.
A. like traveling better　
B. easy to communicate with　
C. difficult to make real friends
D. have a long–term relationship with their neighbors
46. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those ______.
A. who will tell them everything of their own
B. who want to do business with them
C. they know quite well
D. who are good at talking
47. Which of the following is true about “particularist societies”?
A. There is no rule for people to obey.
B. People obey the society’s rules completely.
C. No one obeys the society’s rules though they have.
D. The society’s rules can be changed with different persons or situations.
48. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different ______.
A. interests B. habits and customs C. cultures D. ways of life

C
Garden Route, South Africa
Take in this fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route in the Western Cape in South Africa. A wild life break is a must, as is enjoying great meal stops along the route. There are wild life reserves throughout the Garden Route National Park you can swing into and spend a sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions. And just over your shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).
Top tip: Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip. It is much less known than the Western Cape and full of landscapes. The gas station is occasionally seen.
Great Ocean Road, Australia
Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Australia with views of the Sourthern Ocean from Geelong to Portland, in Victoria, and you won’t regret it. Anyone who has driven it just can’t stop talking about it, and with good reason. There’re loads to see and plenty of great stops. There’s whale-watching here too, and other natural life. And to top it all, there’ll be plenty of good old Aussie kindness and welcome when you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.
Top tip: Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.
Stelvio Pass, Italy
If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, you’ll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain slopes stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. There’s a great view down the pass. And from the top, it’s just a short sweep away from the Swiss border, so if you are gripped by mountain road driving, you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort Davos. Stelvio has 48 hairpins(急弯) on the north side and 12 on the decent(陡坡) to Bormio, so this route is not recommended for new drivers, or those with a fear of heights. This decent is is often featured in the Giro d’Italia, the Italian version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television.
Top tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip a cross-border experience.
