At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I 27 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 28 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 29 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “ 30 ” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 31 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 32 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 33 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 34 anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly 35 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 36 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 37 to make you recover better… but we can do things 38 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 39 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 40 he could see what I meant.

第三部分：阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分）：
A
Most episodes（情况）of absent- mindedness- forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. "You're supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded （译成密码）it deeply."
Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact（影响）on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）. "Your memory itself isn't failing you,"says Schacter."Rather, you didn't give your memory system the information it needed."
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness." A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago," says Zelinski ,"may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox." Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that.
"Visual cues can help prevent absent -mindedness", says Schacter. "But be sure the cue is clear and available," he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication（药物）with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.
Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. "Everyone does this from time to time," says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember.
46. We can learn from the passage that encoding ________.
A. slows down the process of losing our memories
B. helps us understand our memory system better
C. gets us to recall something from our memories
D. helps us to find out the mobile phone in the pocket
47. Why do women have better memories than men?
A. They seldom use their mobile phones.
B. They are more nervous about the environment.
C. They are more interested in what's happening around them.
D. They usually take some special medicine to improve memories.
48. The sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 means that ___________.
A. a note in the pocket will easily get lost
B. putting something in sight can be a good reminder
C. taking medicine can get rid of absent-mindedness
D. people of absent-mindedness must take medicine with them
49. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The causes of absent-mindedness.
B. The environment and memory.
C. A way of encoding and recalling.
D. The process of gradual memory loss.
B
"Mummy, I don' t know what to play with." Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time. "You've got a room full of toys!" his mother says, impatiently. In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed (packed) animals. Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying: "Mummy, I am bored."
A family therapist (心理医 生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole "toy shop" at home: "According to their brain development, little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest is left lying about." What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys? Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge. If he/she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away. Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then! A talk with relatives and friends may also help. Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie, and we like her way. A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites. When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of "old" toys goes into the cupboard. When her child says she is "bored", they also get something from her cupboard - it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.
Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something "fresh" to play with.
50. Steve interrupted his mother several times because ________.
A. he felt uninterested in his toys B. he disliked his mother's guest
C. he didn't have enough toys to play with D. he hoped his mother would play with him
51. According to the therapist, children often complain that they have nothing to play with because ________.
A. they can't play alone for a long time B. they are too young to play with so many toys
C. they are too lazy to pick out their favourites
D. they lack the ability to value too many things at a time
52. Which of the following can be used in place of "jumble"?
A. Simple choice. B. Mixture in disorder.
C. Ordinary appearance. D. Same shape.
53. Which is the advice given to parents in the text?
A. Buy fewer toys for their children.
B. Form good habits for their children.
C. Spare some time to play with their children.
D. Put some toys away without telling their children.

I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.
