His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, bu

2、t I dont understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, bu

3、t all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “Youll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he tol

4、d his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.The grandpa said, “I dont want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. Youre just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his gra

5、ndpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, its useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket a

6、nd was now clean.“Grandson, thats what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, youll be changed, inside and out.”21.

9、ing can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe. Previous studies have linked high exposure to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air

10、quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposu

11、re. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure. The authors of both studies stress

12、 that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter reg

13、ulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.24.The text mainly discusses the relationship between.Aheart problems and air qualityBheart problems and exercisingCheart problems and smokingDheart problems and f

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still s

26、wim 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 r

27、emember 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

28、 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

29、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 satis

30、factory 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 ones future development32. Whatisthemainideaof
