761.Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session.(1)
(2)
A study published in the journal PLOS One examined how well older people who were in good health could remember certain words.In two different experiments,researchers found that older adults who rested for 10 minutes after learning new words had better memory of those words. "A period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning increases free recall of verbal material," the researchers wrote. "(3)
In addition to wakeful rest,sleep is also important for learning.A report on the website of Harvard Medical School explains that a person lacking sleep cannot focus attention and therefore cannot learn efficiently.(4)
Robert Stickgold is a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School. "(5)
Sleep is important for forming memories.Stickgold suggested that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day.Teenagers may need slightly more,and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
A.New memories can be hard to keep
B.The results were strong even after seven days
C.Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information
D.Many students often go straight to another activity after finishing study
E.By reducing your activity after study,your brain gets a chance to rest
F.It also says sleep itself has a role in strengthening memory
G.But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn發(fā)布:2025/1/1 14:0:1組卷:2引用:2難度:0.5762.Many of us have heard of Alex Honnold,who made history in 2018 when he became the first man to climb El Capitan without ropes or safety equipment.But his mother,Dierdre Wolownick,just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak:she reached the top on September 23—the morning of her 70th birthday.
Dierdre,the writer and language teacher,decided to take up climbing as a means to connect more with her son.In 2008,accompanied by her son Alex,she visited a climbing gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help,but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.
Dierdre became committed to the sport,and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills.She scaled(登上) parts of Half Dome and Cathedral peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down.The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex called The Sharp End of Life:A Mother's Story.
"As a mother,I am impressed by this roleexchange process.Parents and children often wind up changing roles in life as they get older," she writes in her book. "But never,I thought,is that transformation as obvious as when they climb together."
On September 23,Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark,at 6 am.The route is steep(陡峭的) enough to require allfours,grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight.Yet despite all difficulties,the team made it to the top. "It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us," said one of Dierdre's friends. "There was a special look on everyone's face.We knew where we jye.aire.We knew how amazing the moment truly was."

We were photographing some jellyfish.Jennifer,her back to me,was focused on something above her.Out of the corner of my viewfinder,I saw a sizable crocodile coming.As I began to take its photograph,I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me.I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen,firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company.She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up,nodded OK,and said "Hello,handsome" as she bent closer to take its photos.I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect,calm curiosity,and absolute joy.She didn't feel threatened.She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed.After a few pictures the crocodile,unimpressed with us,swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things.We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work.But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here.The crocodile is an indicator animal,a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性動(dòng)物).The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it's vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism,exploration,and conservation.That's possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth's oceans on their terms,not our own.

When entering Hearthfire Books and Treats in Evergreen,shoppers are greeted by a bright green wall of frozen yogurt machines and a topping bar.
Owner Kappy Kling believes she has created more than just a store but a space for community.Kling sees many bookstores modifying their business models to attract new customers. "Bookstores over the years,with changes,have adapted by adding different things for engagement,especially smaller ones," she said. "So for us,the frozen yogurt was a big one of those."
Hearthfire attracts a big afterschool crowd from the local schools,and Kling enjoys providing a safe place for kids to hang out,have a snack and read.
Creating reading community is also a central focus at BookBar on Tennyson Street in Denver.Nearly nine years ago,Nicole Sullivan was wishing she could have a book club meeting anywhere besides someone's living room,and from that thought,BookBar was born.The popular bookstore offers wine,coffee and small plates to enjoy while leading and browsing books.Beyond just book club meetings,Sullivan says the shop sees a lot of girls' nights,professional meetings and remote work.
While he may not have changed his business model,Topp does devote much of his time to reading to his customers.Topp founded Read Me a Story,Ink after reading to children in public schools for nearly 30 years.His website features recordings of Topp reading stories aloud and over a thousand stories for others to read and children can make comments and exchange opinions.He also has a podcast (播客) available on major platforms that feature him reading stories fit for the classroom,bedtime and more.

Among English speakers,chances are that it will be a second or two at most.But while this pattern may be universal,our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.
What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said.Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds,people start to feel uneasy.In contrast,a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds - nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings.
In Japan,it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all.It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words.
In the US,it may originate from the history of colonial(殖民地)America as a crossroads of many different races.When you have a complex of difference,it's hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life.This applies also to some extent to London.
In contrast,when there's more homogeneity,perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear.For example,among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.
(1)Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?
A.The Dutch.
B.Americans.
C.The English.
D.The Japanese.
(2)What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?
A.Speaking more gives the upper hand.
B.Speak out what you have in your mind.
C.Great minds think alike without words.
D.The shorter talking silence,the better.
(3)What can we learn from the text?
A.A four second silence in conversation is universal.
B.It's hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.
C.English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.
D.The closer we and our family are,the easier the silence appears.
(4)What does the underlined word "homogeneity" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Similarity.
B.Contradiction.
C.Diversity.
D.Misunderstanding.發(fā)布:2025/1/1 13:30:1組卷:6引用:2難度:0.7767.---Excuse me.Where is the museum?Is it ______ Xinxing Supermarket?
