He had forgotten her name. Barbara
21、 hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldnt remember where shed put them. Perhaps youve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them havent realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memor
22、y can be improved. If youll just accept that, the following will show you how. First, relax. If you are over worried about something, youll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you wont remember things. When you forget something, dont
23、 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 isnt enough. To improve your memory, youll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to
24、exercise your memory. For example, if youre learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words. 4 If you dont take notice of things actively, you wont remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, dont just put your keys down! If you want
25、 to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where youre putting them. 41. The first two paragraphs just tell us . ABarbara was a very rich person Bexamples of memory problems CMark often forgot his friends names Dlanguage problems of two persons 42When you forget things, you _. Amust be to
26、o careless Bshouldnt take notice of the result Cmust accept the fact Dshouldnt lose heart about your memory 43According to the passage, _ can make your memory better. Arealizing your memory problems Btalking to your friends Cdoing sports every day Dmaking mind pictures of what you see 44The purpose
27、of the passage is to help you _. Ato introduce the guest Bto improve your memory Cto remember new words Dto 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 her
28、e 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 its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures
29、 would regard as personal. On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where longterm 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
30、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, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants
31、to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer. Cross-cultural differences arent 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 fr
32、om 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
33、rules, but they are less important than the societys 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
34、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 che
35、ckin official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The checkin official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldnt be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is 5 unfair, because the other passengers dont have his problem. 45. Of
36、ten 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 longterm relationship with their neighbors 46. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _. A. who will tel
37、l 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 societys rules completely. C. No one obeys the society
38、s rules though they have. D. The societys 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 Ro

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 Pa
40、rk 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 Cap
41、e 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 wont regret it. Anyone who has driven it just cant stop talking about it, a
42、nd with good reason. Therere loads to see and plenty of great stops. Theres whale-watching here too, and other natural life. And to top it all, therell 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
43、 in that sea air. Stelvio Pass, Italy If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, youll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain slopes stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. Theres a great view down the pass. And from the top, its just a short sweep awa
44、y 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 d
45、ecent is is often featured in the Giro dItalia, the Italian version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television. 6 Top tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip a cross- border experience. 49.
