When I was in the seventh grade, I volunteered about thirty to forty hours a week during the summer at a local hospital in my town. Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie.

He became a closefriend of mine, even though he replied to me with only a very 32moving of his fingers. Mr. Gillespie was still in a coma昏迷.
I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I 33 back, Mr. Gillespie had gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he haddied.

Then he told me what happened to him to put him in the coma. We both cried for a while and exchanged a hug, said good-bye and went our separate 39ways.
Although I haven’t seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. More 40, I will never forget him and what he didfor me: he made me an angel.

But one day I got into trouble. It was a cold morning. It blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. I was still in bed though it was nine. I finished a long journey theday before and decided to have a good rest. Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quickbreakfast I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowl y and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. But fivehours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb****** in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. And another five hours passed and most passengers lost theirpatience before we were allowed to get on the plane. At the entrance each passenger and their baggage行李 had to be examined.

Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study,work and life.Can memory be improved?Luckily,hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp.First of all,it is necessary to have a healthy diet.Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E,such as vegetables and leanmeat,helps you have a better memory.Doing exercise can keep your brain alive,too.Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain.Running,riding a bike,swimming and even walking two orthree times a week are helpful.Besides,getting enough sleep is important.Only when your brain gets a good rest,can it work well.The healthier your lifestyle is,the better your memory willbecome,but do not expect a sudden change-it takes a long time to have a good effect.
Memory skills help you remember things better.The followings are the most widely used.Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones.For example,tomemorize a long mobilephone number 2127983630,you can divide it into three212,then 798,and lastly3630.This method is much more effective; Organization means organizing informationinto groups of the same kind.For example, trees,grass and flowers are plants;tigers,pandas,horses and cows are animals; Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imaginationand connecting it with something that you are familiar with.
However,memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information.What’s more,only a regular有规律的 review can make the memory last long.That is why students are always advised togo over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days,and then use it as regularly as possible.
Human brains are like muscles肌肉 that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger.If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills,you can certainly improve your memory.
48. How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?

C.Remembering the word “yellow”by putting it into the group of “color”.
D.Remembering the word “map” by connecting it with a picture of a map.
50. According to the passage,why should we review what we’ve learnt?
A. To use it better every day.B.To understand it in a better way.
C.To improve memory skills.D.To remember it for a longer time.
51. What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage?

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television isgetting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How c alm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephone s, nocars, not even any electricity电 often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simple lives.
Our family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7,spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic物质的. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” she said.The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a “fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one whocooked things.”
Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day.
Don’t check your emails every day.
Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets boring.
Make sure you spend some time talking to your family. Set aside one evening a week when you don’t turn on the television. Play cards and chat instead.
Get a lowtechnology hobby. Every day, do something in the old way, such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone.
Don’t worry too much about life — laugh more.
52. Why does the writer use the quote引文at the beginning of the passage?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. Totell us a famous saying.
C. To tell us what life was like long time ago.
D. To point out that you experience some big problems.
53. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house?
A. Because they loved to live simple lives.
B. Because they were troubled by modern inventions.
C. Because living a different time would be a lot of fun for them.
D. Because they want to know how people lived without modern inventions.
54. What does the underlined word “available”probably mean?
A. Depended on by others. B. Trusted by others.
C. Learned from by others. D. Found by others.
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Problems with technology.
B. The importance of technology.
C.Changes happening to technology.
D. Improvements of our life with technology.

Above all, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.
