B Every morning, Mum filled my lunchbox with the same boring sandwich and an apple. I was 14. It was too old for this childish action. “I can buy lunch at school,” I said. But she gave me a bag. There was a lunchbox with a handwritten note that read, “Love you, my brave girl.” One rainy Tuesday, I threw the unopened lunchbox into my locker. That afternoon, my stomach ached during maths class. Reaching into my backpack for money, my fingers reached against...a second lunchbox? Inside lay a warm cup of chicken soup, a cheese sandwich cut into stars, and a note that read, “Love you, my brave girl.” I checked my locker, and my first lunchbox was still there. How did the second one get into my bag? At dinner, Mum acted as usual. The same thing happened on Thursday. When I “forgot” my lunch again, another secret meal appeared. This time with my favourite mango slices. I started checking Mum: leaving the lunchbox at home or hiding it in different places. Like magic, another lunchbox always appeared in my backpack. My curiosity turned into worry when I found medicine in Mum’s wallet. “Just vitamins,” she said quickly. That night, I heard her whispering to Dad, “...the treatments are working, but my memory might be worse...” The next morning, I went downstairs quietly. Looking through the kitchen window, I saw Mum packing two exactly the same boxes—one into my bag and the other into my backpack. Then she looked quietly at both, with her hands trembling（发抖的）. She didn’t remember doing it twice. Tears in my eyes as I finally understood that her “overprotectiveness” wasn’t smothering（溺爱）, but it was love fighting against her memory. That day, I ate both lunches, tasting every bite like valuable memories. Now I pack her lunchbox daily, always with a note that reads, “Love you, my brave mum.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26.

The Two Same Packed Lunchboxes D. The Note Reading “Brave Mum” C From the moment we are born, our brains are filled with a lot of information. So, how do we hold on to everything we’ve learned? Hermann Ebbinghaus ran a study and found something interesting in 1885. He summarized his findings in a theory known as the “forgetting curve (曲线)”. The curve shows how information is lost over time if people do nothing to remember it. The stronger the memory is, the longer a person is able to remember it. People may forget newly learned things in days or weeks if they don’t review them. Short-term memories last seconds to hours, while long-term memories last for years. Students can turn a short-term memory into a long-term memory by ▲. The more times they review it, the longer they’ll keep it in their brains. First, use “spaced learning”. By reviewing new information at key moments on the curve, you can reduce the rate(比率) at which you forget it! Second, practise “overlearning”—that is, putting in more than the usual amount of effort when you learn something. Third, make information meaningful. Try to make what you need to learn clear and purposeful, and find a strong reason for remembering it. Lastly, keep challenging your memory. If you come to review some information and discover gaps (空白) in your memory, don’t give up! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The forgetting curve. B. Long-term memory. C. Ebbinghaus’ study. D. The information. 32. Which shows the relationship between memory retention (记忆量,x) and time (y) when we don’t review information? 33. Which can we put in “ ▲ ”? A. reviewing it B. writing it down C. making use of senses D. repeating key words 34.Which way can help us remember things better? A. Trying not to take notes in class. B. Staying up to memorize new words. C. Learning English by drawing mind maps. D. Stopping learning when you don’t want to. 35. In which part of a website can we read the text? A. History. B. Education. C. Sport. D. People. D Everyone is born with the ability to be a smart student—someone who knows how to study and how to succeed. 36. ______ ●Set yourself goals. Everybody needs something to work towards. An hour of studying each night! Fifty pages read throughout the week? Make certain goals you can reach for. 37. ______ ●Work in a study group.

Then you can do other things and not worry about it the next morning. ●Take breaks more often than you think. When you want to learn something, you’ll always think, “Study, and study some more until you have it down.” Actually, that’s not how it works.40. ______ When you take breaks, your attention and memory are improved.
