    Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.

    Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. However, the misplaced gems had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. staff were unaware that the jewels were worth $ 9m.

    The world is full of forgetful people. A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.

    A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but … what about his teeth? After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar. He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.

    Over the past 78 years passengers on London’s transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from World War II. Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200 000 items a year. Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.

    But if you find something and can’t locate the rightful owner, is it finders keepers? It depends on what’s found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.

    “If you pick up a coin, you can keep it unless you saw someone drop it, as you wouldn’t be able to find the owner by taking reasonable steps.”

    If it’s a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours. One man’s loss is another man’s gain!

    A. attract readers’ attention to the jewellery

    C. make a summary

    A. generous B. experienced

    C. forgettable D. honest

    3.What does the underlined part in the sixth paragraph mean?

    B. One man’s loss is another man’s loss too.

    C. It’s immoral to keep something that doesn’t belong to you.

    Grown?ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

    One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.

    In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

    The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

    The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college 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, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

    1.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

    A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.

    B．Children have a better memory than grown?ups.

    C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

    D．Stories for children arc easy to remember.

    2.The author explains the law of overlearning by______.

    A．presenting research findings

    B．selling down general rules

    C．making a comparison

    D．using examples

    3.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

    A．Commonly accepted rules.

    B．The multiplication tables.

    C．Things easily forgotten.

    D．School subjects.

    4.What is the author's opinion on cramming?

    A．It leads to failure in college exams.

    B．It's helpful only in a limited way.

    C．It's possible to result in poor memory.

    D．It increases students' learning interest.
