were between ten and thirteen at the first interview
described exactly the ____79____ memory in the

remember get fixed (固定的）.
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and
not others. We sometimes think that most first or early memories are about very stressful things that
happened to us as children, because bad things stand out in our minds. But in this study, stressful
events were only a small percentage of what the children said they remembered. More often, their
early memories were happy ones. The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case. We
expect the researchers will ____80____ more fascinating things about memories in the near future.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的
词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）
I don’t believe it! It’s 11 p.m. and I’m still sitting here
writing this article for the school magazine! I’ve had two
weeks to write it and my teacher wants it tomorrow. She’s
always c____81____ that I leave things to the last minute.
Maybe she’s right. A month ago, I made up my mind to be
more efficient this year and not to leave things to the last
minute. But I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to get fitter for
four weeks now. I’ve started going to the gym. I’ve taken up karate lessons and I’ve changed my
diet. I’ve even been going to bed earlier. But I’m not feeling any fitter. I felt just a little u____82____.
I miss my bad habits. Why is leading a better life so hard?
I’ve just read an article on a website and I’ve found out that it isn’t my fault! In fact, it isn’t
anyone’s fault! It’s our brains. They’re programmed, therefore, it is difficult to break bad habits.
There’s nothing we can do. Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain
when we think about o____83____ and another when we think about other people. However, whenwe think about the ‘future us’, we use the part of the brain that we usually use to think
about other people. In other words, the brain sees the ‘future you’ as a different person to your
‘present you’. And that’s why we don’t always find it easy to make sensible d____84____ in the
future when we face difficulties.
But that’s not all. Scientists have also found out that it takes around ten weeks to form a
good habit. For example, if I want to keep fit，it’s going to take me ten weeks to go to the
gym and then it will become an automatic part of my life. That’s because ten weeks is the amount
of time the brain needs to change and a____85____ new ways of behaviour as a part of everyday
life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes much easier. The
bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so it’s easy to give up on (打消）your good plan
s____86____.
So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people but our brains
won’t let us. Or is this just an e____87____? Look! I’ve finished my article on time. Anything is
possible!
D. Answer the questions (根据短文回答下列问题）（12分）
There was once a boy who was afraid of the dark. He thought that his bedroom was filled up
with monsters when it was dark. But there came a time when he was too old to be allowed to keep
sleeping with the light on.
That first night he was filled with fear, his mind full of monsters. Therefore, he went
over to his wardrobe to get a torch. But when he opened the wardrobe door, he saw a
monster, face to face，and he let out the loudest scream in the world.
The monster took a step backwards, grabbed his colourful hair, stared at the boy with
his single red eye, and …started crying! The monster cried for so long that the boy’s
shock and fear disappeared. He calmed the monster as much as he could，and started
talking to him, asking him why he was crying, and what he was doing there.
The monster told him he lived in the wardrobe, but almost never went out, because
he was afraid of the boy. When the boy asked him why, the monster told him the boy’s
face seemed to him the most horrible thing he’d ever seen with eyes, ears and a nose.
The boy felt the similar way about the monster with a huge head full of mouths and hair.
The two of them talked so much that they became quite friendly, and they came to know thatboth of them had been afraid of the thing: the unknown. To lose their fear, all they had to do was to
get to know each other. Together they travelled around the world, seeing lions, tigers, crocodiles and
dragons. It was the first time either of them had seen such creatures, but they made the effort to get
to know them. In the end, they ______________ and ______________.
And, although his parents weren’t too happy, because they thought he was too old to still believe
in monsters, the truth of it was that all kinds of creatures visited the boy’s bedroom each night. And,
instead of fearing them, he had learned to get to know them and be friends with them.
