Jameson stood outside the kitchen, listening to his mother’s phone conversation.
“I’m sure he’d love to,” his mother said.
Jameson knew she was talking to Mrs. Kyle down the street. She had a son four years younger than Jameson
and was always trying to get Jameson to play with him. Only Jameson didn’t want to play with him. He felt bored
playing baby games. Jameson hoped Mrs. Kyle wasn’t getting Mom to agree to a play date.
Mom said goodbye, and Jameson ran to his room. He sat down at his desk and took out his math book. His
mom knocked on the door.
“Jameson, may I come in?”
“I’m really busy studying for my math test right now.” Maybe that would make Mom think twice about

forcing him to play with Timothy Kyle.
“Oh, okay then. Never mind.”
Jameson heard his mom walk back down the hall. He was happy his plan had worked, but now he had to stay
in his room because his mom thought he was studying.
He looked outside. The sun was shining, and it was the perfect day to be outdoors. He pictured playing
football in the park with his friends. Then he thought about the best thing of all, going to the new amusement park.
He’d been dying to (渴望) go, but tickets were expensive and he hadn’t saved up enough money yet.
He spent the afternoon tossing (掷) his football straight up in the air while lying on his bed. He was more than
bored. Even playing with Timothy Kyle was better than this.
He got up and went downstairs.
“All finished studying?” Mom asked.
Jameson nodded. Then his mom said, “Mrs. Kyle called earlier. She had tickets to the new amusement park.
She said you could have them.”
Things were different from what Jameson thought. He deeply regretted what he did. “I should try to figure out
(弄清楚) what is exactly happening instead of lying to Mom for my own good,” he thought.
24. How did Jameson feel about playing baby games with Mrs. Kyle’s son?
A. Hopeful. B. Happy.

When you’re having a hard time with something, it’s natural to turn to others for help. Getting help sounds
simple, but it’s not always easy to do. Sometimes certain beliefs or ways of thinking can make it hard to ask for
help. Here are some kinds of attitudes that can stand in the way and ideas on how to get past them.
Some people believe that needing help is a sign of weakness. Actually, it’s a sign of strength, not weakness.

You know what you need and you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out for it. Once a boy told me he wanted to ask his
coach how to improve his basketball skills, but he was afraid that his coach might think he shouldn’t be on the
team. In fact, when he asked his coach for help, his coach thought he was practicing hard.
Some other people think they don’t deserve(应该得到) help or support. Everyone needs help now and then.
Accepting help can strengthen friendships and relationships. Everyone feels good when they can support a friend.
For example, if you want to find out how Katy solves problems with her parents, you should ask Katy if she has
time to talk and tell her how important her viewpoint is, instead of worrying that Katy is too busy to help you.
When you ask for help, choose someone who listens and cares, not someone who judges or criticizes you. If you
get refused, it's not because of you, but the other person. So tell yourself: If Katy says no, she might not be ready to
talk about her own experiences.
Another wrong attitude is waiting for someone else to make the first move. It’s not always easy for other
people to see when you need help. Maybe you’re putting on a cheerful face to hide the problem. Don’t wait for
someone to read your mind. You have to ask.
Because it can be hard to reach out for help, don't hesitate(犹豫) to offer support to another person if you think
he or she needs it. Giving and receiving help are great life skills to learn. They help us improve our abilities to
understand other people.
27. In Paragraph 2, the boy was afraid to ask his coach for help because ________.
.
A his coach criticized him before
B. his coach was too busy to help him
C. he wasn’t practicing as hard as other players
D. he thought it would show he was a weak player
28. What should you do if you need help?
A. Be supportive to other people first.
B. Be active to find a caring person to talk to.
.
C Try to make your friends notice what you need.
D. Put on a happy face to avoid worrying other people.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Asking for Help: Everyone’s Natural Ability
B. Asking for Help: Getting Past Improper Attitudes
C. Giving and Receiving Help: Great Skills to Learn
D. Giving and Receiving Help: Strengthening Relationships
D

How GPS Weakens Memory — and What We Can Do about It
Using mobile phones to navigate (导航) has become second nature. Whether you’re heading to a new park or
meeting friends at a restaurant, you just enter the address on your phone and go. Without GPS, exploring (探索)
and wayfinding in new places required preparation. We had to think, check paper maps, and plan and memorize
ways there. But today there is no need to think. Simply follow the turn-by-turn directions on your phone, and you’ll
end up where you need to be. However, your overall sense of the place suffers. Spatial (空间的) navigation used to
be a process performed by the human brain and perceptual system, but now people have surrendered it to
technology.
There are areas of the brain that deal with these difficult pathfinding tasks. In particular, the hippocampus is
related to spatial memory, spatial navigation and mental (在脑中的) mapping. Studies show that we can exercise
the hippocampus memory through exploration and spatial navigation. For example, expert navigators like London
taxi drivers have larger hippocampi compared to other people.
However, when we follow a set of turn-by-turn directions, GPS navigation apps treat us as passive passengers
rather than active explorers. In turn, this stops us from being able to create proper mental maps, and has an effect on
the hippocampus, which is very important for brain health.
While improvements in technology clearly have many benefits, we must remain mindful that technology can
influence the brain. Our question is: Can we find a way to still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects on memory?
The challenge is to create other forms of GPS navigation that will remain easy enough for the general public,
and at the same time, enable people to improve their spatial sense. Our research finds that properly designed audio
beacons (音频信标) offer a much more active form of GPS navigation. For example, with an audio beacon at a
hospital, when we are two miles away from the hospital, we can hear a sound through our phone. In recent
experiments, we discover that this type of sensory navigation through audio beacons does better than turn-by-turn
navigation in the creation of mental maps. We believe these results, at least in part, come from people taking a more
active role in their navigation.
GPS navigation using audio beacons offers a good example that helps humans connect more deeply with
reality; perhaps instead of turning into mindless robots, we will be able to become more deeply involved with
humanity, our local environment, and life itself.
30. GPS weakens people’s memory because it ______.

A. records the places people have been to
B. offers people more than one way to a place
C. takes the place of thinking process in wayfinding
D. fails to teach people how to prepare for exploring
31. The words “have surrendered it to” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A. have compared it to B. have given it up to
C. have learned it from D. have taken it away from
32. London taxi drivers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show that ______.
A. GPS is not widely used in London
B. the hippocampus memory can be exercised
C. hard-working drivers have larger hippocampi
D. active explorers are better than passive passengers
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Turn-by-turn GPS navigation helps create mental maps.
B. Audio beacons technology will be replaced in the future.
C. Users’ active role should be considered in navigation technology.
D. GPS navigation apps have come a long way in helping with our memory.

How to Spend Your Weekend Alone Without Losing It
There can be many, many stories behind weekends spent alone.
In the 4 years that I’ve been living on my own now, I’ve achieved the feat(壮举) of spending 208 weekends
alone.
Based on(基于) this mind-blowing success, here’s a practical guide so that you, too, can spend your weekends,
alone.
1.Go to a Free Gig(演出)
Coffee shops, libraries and local places often host free gigs, so see if there is anything going on in your area
this weekend. Concerts can actually be much more rewarding(有意义的) when you go alone.
2.Go on a Long Walk
Going for a long walk and experiencing nature is often more enjoyable if you are alone, as it is peaceful, quiet,
and relaxing.
You can stop to appreciate every beautiful flower you pass, and hear all of the quiet, busy sounds of nature.

3.Order Your Favourite Take Out Food
Get the menu and order your favourite take-away. As you don’t have to share it with anyone else, you can
order as much food as you want.
4.Take a Shopping Trip Alone
Bring down any shopping stress by taking the trip alone. Other people can slow you down or make you hurry
up, and you can end up missing out on the best clothes.
Take a relaxing trip alone and take your time trying everything on: you are likely to have a great day and find
something you love.
5.Watch a TV Show You Love
The best part about watching television alone is that you can watch whatever you want. Put on your
comfortable clothes, get some food and put your feet up for hours of watching.
34. What is the practical guide based on?
________________________________________
35. How many ways of spending the weekend are there in the guide?
