  I was sleeping for over a week after a traffic accident.The only sounds that could be heard were coming from the machines that were   1   me alive.

  All my family members were   2   ways to wake me up from my silence.

  The radio station agreed to help and gave him a specific date and time   8  he could have a radio“  9  ”at my hospital bed.Greg's decision had filled everyone with   10   and now the moment arrived.Nervous from expectation, all my family members   11   hands and watched over me hoping for a   12

Four Steps to Better Learning

  Sheela and Nisha had almost the same level of intelligence and came from similar family backgrounds.Sheela found it hard to memorise a poem for an oral test while Nisha did it without any difficulty.  1   Why was there a difference?

  The answer is : Nisha just knew how to learn better than Sheela did.  2   Here are four steps to better learning.

  Preview the matter first.Scan or skim over a material quickly.Read the first sentence of each paragraph, glance at the table of contents and the preface.

    3   Speed reading is fine for the easy material.But for more complex works, slower reading is much more effective.Good learners actively think about what they read and assimilate(吸收)it.

  Be focused.To improve concentration and focus, fix a particular time and place for studying.Use a variety of methods, like writing down what you’ve read, taping it and then listening to it, making an outline or even drawing a diagram.  4   It will improve your learning capacity(能力).

    5   Each person has his own way of learning.If given the pieces of an object to assemble(聚集), each of us uses a different method to arrive at the same result.Analyse your approach and follow the method that you feel most comfortable with.

A.Follow your own learnign style.

B.Slow down and read it aloud to yourself.

C.Take a break if you become too tense or tired.

D.Turn to your heroes or tutors for advice and follow their advice.

E.She increased the capacity of her brain by applying some skills.

F.She only scanned a new poem twice before reciting it from memory!

G.Nisha had a better intelligence than Sheela, which was not true in fact.

  The moment happened 30 yours ago but it was still fresh in my memory.I was a college freshman and had   1   up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends.Now just before my first   2   of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a   3  .A few minutes nap(小睡)time before class couldn't   4  , I thought.

The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.

In 1729 there appeared an English translation of Perrault’s collection,Robert Samber’s Histories or Tales of Past times, Told by MotherGoose(London,1729), which introduced “Sleeping Beauty”, “Little Red-hood”, “Puss in Boots”,”Cinderella” and other Perrault’s tales to English-speaking audiences. These were fairy tales(童话)。 John Newbery published a book of English rhymes,Mother Goose’s Melody, or Sonnets for the Cradle( London, undated,1765), which switched the focus from fairy tale to nursery  rhymes, and in English this was until recently the primary meaning for Mother Goose.A book of poems for children entitled Mother Goose’s Melody was published in England in1781, and the name “Mother Goose” has been associated with children’s poetry ever since.

1.What is supposed to have happened in 1719?

  A. Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.

  B.  The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.

  C.  Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.

  D. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.

2. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.

   A. a real person                                                 B. a translation from French

   C. a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose          D.  a book written by a little old woman

3.When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.

   A. no story of the book had been known to people

   B. some stories of the book were already well known

   C. few people were interested in the stories of the book

   D. stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular

4.The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.

 A. Mother Goose         B. Charles Perrault C. Elizabeth Vergoose  D. Mere I’ Oye 

5.When people talk about Mother Goose, they refer to,___________

     A.    a printer of Boston          B. a kind of animal

     C.    children’s  poetry            D. the  French “Mere L’oye
