　　A Ks5u

　　For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a friend through a friend of my mother’s. My mom and her mom met through a downhill skiing group for people with disabilities. I am disabled, and so is her mother. Ks5u

　　We lived about 45 minutes’ drive away from each other, but we spent as much time together as possible. Often we spent nights at each other’s houses and, of course, went on ski trips together with our mothers. We even went to summer camps together. This was often a challenge, given that she was able-bodied while I was not. I went to YMCA and Girl Scout camps with her for able-bodied kids. A lot of time there were activities I just couldn’t keep up with, or sometimes wasn’t able to participate in at all.

　　A couple of summers, I also tried attending summer camps for kids with disabilities. But I felt terribly bored, and found that I wasn’t getting enough physical activity. I wanted to find a happy medium. One year, this friend and I signed up for Girl Scout camp together, again. I don’t know who decided this, but someone put me in with the younger kids, thinking it would give me more opportunities. My friend stayed with me and the young ones. We were both miserable, due to the fact we were the only girls in our group able to do many things. There was a big sister program, and we were even older than our big sisters!

　　I will never forget what this friend did for me by sticking with me through the whole 2 weeks. Not only did she stick with me, she did everything she could to make it more fun. I don’t know if she had any idea how much her efforts meant to me then, or how much they still mean. To me, what she did was what a true friend does. Ks5u

　　Understand how you learn Ks5u

　　Understanding and using your learning strengths and adjusting the settings in your study environment to suit you will make your study sessions more effective. Ks5u

　　For example, are you a morning or a night person? Figure out what time of day you study most efficiently and schedule your studying time for those times of day. Trying to study when you're sleepy or distracted isn't the best idea. Ks5u

　　Be selective in your reading Ks5u

　　If you'd like to be quicker in doing your reading, keep in mind that only some material is worth studying, and the rest is just worth skimming. Ks5u

　　Begin with an overview and getting a bigger picture and context of the book or reading by skimming through: Ks5u

　　• the table of contents; Ks5u

　　• book jacket; Ks5u

　　• introduction and conclusion; Ks5u

　　• key chapters; Ks5u

　　• first and last paragraphs of each chapter. Ks5u

　　This will give you a sense of the overall theme of the book and the main point the author is making. Comprehension of where the author is going will help your speed of reading. Ks5u

　　Ask questions continually Ks5u

　　As you read, constantly be asking what's important and what's worth your attention.

　　How does chapter relate to overall purpose of book? Is it a side road or central to the plot/thesis? Ks5u

　　Focus on and mark key points Ks5u

　　As you read, focus on key points and passages and mark them for quick reference. K

　　Underlining slows you down, so put marks in the margins. Use asterisks or arrows by key points, numbers for sequence of events. Ks5u

　　Learn how to take breaks Ks5u

　　Instead of talking on the phone, watching TV or surfing the internet as a procrastination tool, avoid the guilt and plan activities you like as breaks and rewards. Ks

　　When you've accomplished your goal, reward yourself by taking a break and doing something you enjoy. Think of things you'd like to do and make them incentives. Ks5u

　　Plan smaller breaks for smaller tasks and larger rewards for larger goals. Ks5u

　　Learn to like what you do Ks5u

　　The best way to learn a foreign language is through regular exposure to its sound patterns — even if you’re clueless about the meaning of what you hear. Ks5u

　　“However crazy it might sound, just listening to the language, even though you don’t understand it, is critical. A lot of language teachers may not accept that,” said Victoria University PhD graduate Paul Sulzberger, who made the discovery. Ks5u

　　Sulzberger’s main theory is that simply listening to a new language sets up the structures in the brain required to learn the words. Ks5u

　　“The neural tissue required to learn and understand a new language develops automatically from simple exposure to the language — which is how babies learn their first language,” said Sulzberger, who undertook the research after spending seven years teaching Russian in New Zealand, and observing drop-out patterns among his students.

　　"I was very conscious of the huge difficulties students have when they tackle another language, especially at the beginning. Many drop out because they feel they are not making progress." Ks5u

　　He said he was interested in what makes it so difficult to learn foreign words when we are constantly learning new ones in our native language, and found the answer in the way the brain develops neural structures when hearing new combinations of sounds. Ks5u

　　“When we’re trying to learn new foreign words, we’re faced with sounds for which we may have absolutely no neural representation. A student trying to learn a foreign language will probably have few pre-existing neural structures to build on in order to remember the words.” Ks5u

　　Sulzberger looked for ways people could develop these structures to make the learning process easier. His finding was simple: extensive exposure to the language, something made easier by globalization and new technology. Ks5u

　　“It’s easier to learn languages these days, because they’re so accessible now. You can go home and watch the news in French or Spanish on the Internet,” he said. Ks5u

　　He said people trying to learn a foreign language in their home country are at a disadvantage compared to those who travel to another country and completely immerse themselves in its sounds and culture. For that reason, he says, we need to rethink the way languages are taught. Ks5u

　　46. What is the main idea of the text? Ks5u

　　A. The relationship between technology and language. Ks5u

　　B. Listening is the basis of learning a new language. Ks5u

　　C. The importance of listening. Ks5u

　　D. How to teach foreign languages. Ks5u

　　47. The underlined word “clueless” in the first paragraph probably means ________.

　　A. lacking understanding

　　B. very familiar Ks5u

　　C. truly interested

　　D. feeling certain Ks5u

　　48. To learn foreign words, a language learner’s brain needs to ________. Ks5u

　　A. develop new neural structures

　　B. think in the foreign language Ks5u

　　C. review words again and again

　　D. be used as often as possible Ks5u

　　49. What can we infer about Sulzberger’s theory? Ks5u

　　A. It is based on extensive laboratory experiments. Ks5u

　　B. It will be most useful for young learners. Ks5u

　　C. It is rather easy to put into practice. Ks5u

　　D. It is widely accepted by language teachers. Ks5u

　　50. We learn from the text that Sulzberger ________. Ks5u

　　A. spent seven years doing his research Ks5u

　　B. had majored in Russian at University Ks5u

　　C. has helped many students who have difficulties learning Ks5u

　　D. thinks it important for learners to involve themselves in the language they are learning Ks5u

　　D Ks5u

　　Space is full of fireworks: Galaxies smash into each other, dying stars explode and high-energy particles race toward us at the speed of light. The most powerful explosions in the universe are brilliant flashes of light called gamma-ray bursts. If you happened to fly through the neighborhood of a gamma-ray burst, you couldn’t miss the flare — it would be brighter than a million trillion suns. Ks5u

　　On September 15, 2008, a gamma-ray burst in the constellation Carina was recorded. This February, after studying the data, astronomers announced the gamma-ray burst was the most energetic explosion ever seen. Ks5u

　　Since the explosion was more than 12 billion light-years away, we didn’t see it. Ks5u

　　Gamma-ray bursts are nearly impossible to study from Earth because our atmosphere blocks the view. But scientists found a way around that problem. Last June, NASA launched a new telescope called the Fermi Gamma-ray telescope into orbit by strapping it on the back of a rocket. The instrument is helping scientists watch these deep-space fireworks displays. It’s named after Enrico Fermi, an Italian-American physicist who helped design the first atomic bomb and also studied gamma-ray bursts. Ks

　　Since they were first observed more than 35 years ago by satellites, these bursts of energy have been one of the biggest mysteries of space. Where do they come from? Why do some bursts last only a fraction of a second while others last a few minutes? Ks5u

　　If a star is big enough, it collapses into a black hole when it runs out of fuel. A black hole is a dense and dark object with gravity so strong that not even light can escape from it. Many astronomers believe that as the star fades away and becomes a black hole, it shoots gamma rays into space. In other words, if you had seen the gamma-ray burst last September, you might also have been watching the birth of a powerful black hole. Ks5u

　　The first observations from the Fermi telescope are helping scientists answer questions about gamma-ray bursts. But as the data comes in, and astronomers learn more about these deep-space fireworks, other questions will arise. That’s the nature of good science — the answer to a question leads to another question, and its answer leads to yet another question that needs to be answered. Ks5u

　　51. Which of the following statements is true? Ks5u

　　A. Gamma-ray bursts are unable to be observed. Ks5u

　　B. Gamma-ray bursts are really brilliant flashes of light from explosions. Ks5u

　　C. The gamma-ray burst that occurred last September is not the strongest explosion ever seen. Ks5u

　　D. Gamma-ray bursts occur when a star is going round the sun. Ks5u

　　52. The underlined word “collapse” in the last paragraph but one probably means _____. Ks5u

　　A. fall down

　　B. break out

　　C. become unconscious

　　D. become weak K

　　53. The reason why we can’t directly study gamma-ray bursts from Earth is except that _____. Ks5u

　　A. The explosion is too far from us. Ks5uB. Our atmosphere blocks the view. Ks5u

　　C. We don’t have as advanced instruments as scientists do. Ks5u

　　D. The explosion lasts only a second. Ks5u

　　54. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. Ks5u

　　A. More research in space remains to be done. Ks5u

　　B. We have observed gamma-ray bursts by satellites for more than 50 years. Ks5u

　　C. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that even light can’t escape from it. Ks5u

　　D. We have known gamma-ray bursts quiet well, so they are not mysteries of space any longer. Ks5u

　　55. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? Ks5u

　　A. Watching Gamma-ray Bursts

　　B. Watching Black Holes Ks5u

　　C. Watching Deep-space Fireworks

　　D. Watching the Universe Ks5u

　　Ks5u
