专题08 阅读回答问题 Passage 1 (24-25七上·上海欣竹中学·期末)Read the passage and answer the questions. People have always been attracted to rock climbing and plenty of accidents have resulted from this hobby. Seventeen-year-old Wendy Sherlock has fallen three times without any injury while rock climbing, but after her latest accident last Saturday, she is lucky to be alive. Wendy has been in hospital for two days after an eight-metre fall from a rocky cliff in the Sanderson National Park. She doesn’t remember much about the accident, and it’s not surprising considering her injuries. “I’ve got quite a bad head injury-that’s the worst thing.” Wendy explained. “But I’ve also broken my arm and a couple of my ribs (肋骨) and there’s a problem with my left shoulder.” She doesn’t know how long she will have to stay in hospital, as the doctors haven’t told her yet. However, she is realistic (现实的) about her recovery (恢复). “I’ll be in here for a while, and I need time to recover because I hit my head when I fell on the ground. That’s why I can’t remember anything about the accident.” Wendy’s doctors are certain that there’s no permanent (永久的) damage, but they’ve advised her to give up her dangerous sport. However, Wendy is undeterred (不屈不挠的). “Since I was a child, I’ve always loved climbing and I’m determined to continue doing it,” she said. “I think this accident is simply a reminder to take a little more care. I’ve started to feel better already, and I can’t wait to start climbing again.” 1．Is rock climbing dangerous? 2．When did Wendy’s latest accident happen? 3．How high is the rock cliff where Wendy fell? 4．Why couldn’t Wendy remember anything about the accident? 5．Why did Wendy say this accident was a reminder? 6．Should Wendy keep climbing?

So always make sure there is enough fresh air when you need to remember something! Everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some tips. ● Don’t use your brain for too long. When you’ve learned a list of new words, stop studying. ● Go to bed immediately after learning something new. A good night of sleep helps us to remember things better. ● When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way, you can review it. ● If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller groups: 198-756-430-387. ● One of the most interesting ways is to make “pictures” in your mind! Experts say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. For example, if you want to remember the following words: bank, bee, bicycle, you can make up a story as follows: In the morning, Tom walks out of the bank and is going to ride his bicycle home. A bee flies around him and says, “Be careful! Someone is after you. ” Here is one more example. It is a story to help you to remember the following words: fire, fox, farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________     Let yourself be surprised by your memory!
