So he asked Mr. Matthews for extra help planning his article.

Matthews suggested that Shawn list the strongest and best reasons that would persuade people. When Shawn had
listed his reasons, he was ready to start writing.

___ 6 8___ --- end of the paper. After Shawn had his draft（草稿）finished, he was ready to revise what he had
written.

Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering
the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating（令人沮丧的）and embarrassing.
F ___ 7 1___ , there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so
f ___ 7 2___ in the first place. Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation. People are better at remembering
things that they want too learn. To put it simply, you’re just not that i ___ 7 3___ . Another reason is that putting a
new face to a name is more complicated than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make
the effort to m ___ 7 4___ new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be
thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.
All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name.
One good method is to say a person’s name when you g ___ 7 5___ them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few
times. This type of repetition is essential for learning any type of skill. Using a memory method, such as
l ___ 7 6___ individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someone’s name is Ben and he is
tall, you can label him（to yourself, of course）“Big Ben.” In addition, focusing on people and listening more
closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. Although forgetting name isn’t a matter of
life or death, it’s uncomfortable. Putting these t ___ 7 7___ into practice will help you better avoid this social
discomfort.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At
the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30, and his parents worked until
6:00 p.m. Robert looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and
pictured himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” A quarter of an
hour later, he was in his house, and his fear of heights was gone.
Today, Robert (known as the French Spideman) still climbs buildings. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101 (the
tallest building in the world at the time), and in 2011 he climbed the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai. To reach the top
of a building, Robert usually uses only his hands and special shoes. To climb the Burj Khalifa Tower, though, he
was made to wear safety ropes.
Robert climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity ( for children and the homeless).
Climbing is his passion. Although many climbing accidents have left him seriously disabled, he has become one of
the best solo climbers in the world. Alain says in an interview, “We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong
enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves.”
When Robert climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream — something you really
want to do — it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t giveup. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it.”
78. Alain Robert is afraid of heights, isn’t he?
79. How did Robert enter his apartment on the eighth
floor one day?
80. What did Robert use when he climbed the Burj
Khalifa Tower in Dubai?
81. Robert climbs for two reasons. What are they?
82. If you’re afraid of doing something, what is Robert’s
advice?
83. What do you think makes Alain Robert become one
of the best solo climbers in the world?
