21、ren D More Education Television (B)Danielle Steel, Americas sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business.

22、ed her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was

23、 best fit for.

Her 1998 book about

24、the death of her work shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books had been made into films.

29、ords38. We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _A. lives an exciting lifeB. valises her readers a lot(C)What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television program? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the

30、 year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences.A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a n

31、ew explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone elses spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about th

32、eir experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced.So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memo

33、ries in that way. Children whose mothers talk with them about the days activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the days special event than those whose mothers dont. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is

34、the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel.The key to creating this mental life story is language, says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she

35、 says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns th

36、at this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a childs language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences.39. Which of the following is the ma

37、in idea of this passage? A. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents. B. Why cant we remember the events of early childhood? C. Adults cant remember things as well as children. D. What are memories of early childhood like?40. What does the word “amnesia” in the second paragraph mean?

38、A. A mental life story. B. A childhood memory. C. Inability to remember. D. Researches on memory.41. To form permanent memories of their experiences, young children need to _. A. talk about them with others B. grow older than three or four C. write a story in their own language D. have a good relati

39、onship with their parents42. According to Dr. Simms, the reason why children dont form long-term memories before the age of three is that children _.A. cant call back their experiencesB. have nowhere to store the memoriesC. havent developed enough language skillsD. confuse the memory with the experi

40、ence itselfSection BDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.As societies develop, their members start to see things not so much according to what they need, but according to what they want. When people have enough mone

41、y, these wants become demands.Now, it s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way at supermarkets ( 超市), for example, is to interview(采访) customers wh

42、ile theyre doing their shopping. They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. It s also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visi

43、ting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if they were ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customer

44、s to get part of their meal for nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract.Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disn

45、eyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touting the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.43. The text is designed for _44. _can help managers get us
