　　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 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 are easy to remember.

　　2. The author explains the law of overlearning by　.　

　　A. presenting research findings

　　B. setting down general rules

　　C. making a comparison

　　D. using examples

　　3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is　.　

　　A. a result of overlearning

　　B. a special case of cramming

　　C. a skill to deal with math problems

　　D. a basic step towards advanced studies

　　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.

　　Humpback whales

　　Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean. This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive. The name ?humpback?, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale?s back forms as it dives.

　　Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body not of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.

　　A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water.

　　The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints:　no two are the same.

　　Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex “songs”. Quick Facts

　　Size: 14m—18m in length;

　　30—50 tons in weight

　　Living

　　environment: Open ocean and shallow coastline waters

　　Migration: From warm tropical(热带的)waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat

　　Diet: Shellfish, plants and fish of small size

　　Hunting: Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass.

　　Current

　　state: Endangered:　it is estimated that there are about 5000—7500 humpback whales worldwide.

　　1. According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale　.　

　　A. cannot survive in waters near the shore

　　B. doesn’t live in the same waters all the time
