• 11．There's no doubt that football is the global sport.Though basketball，tennis，and other sports are popular too，nothing comes close to football.Being played in every country in the world，football provides dozens of superstars.The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport，and this drives the popularity of football up.Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular？
     Football has its origin （起源） in China and has a history of more than 2，000 years.However，modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century.Folk football matches had been played before in many cities and towns，but never on a professional level.
     Football became a winter sport game played in different schools.The rules were carried out by each school，and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other.It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football.From that moment，a new star sport was born.
     By the early 20th century，football had spread all across Europe.In 1904，FIFA was set up.There are seven original members，including France，Denmark and Spain，FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.
     England's international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country.The league （聯賽） in Britain was set up in 1992.From the 1990s，it became a truly impressive piece of football organization，becoming the world's top football league in the process.
     Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world.It is impossible for any other sport to take its place，especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.

• 12．Halfway through the women's slalom （障礙滑雪賽） event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi，Russia，18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women's slalom skiers in the world.On her final run，she burst from the start house at top speed，zigzagging （曲折行進） around the poles.Suddenly，her left ski slid out，causing her to temporarily lose control.It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain，out of her reach.But in the blink of an eye，Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run.She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
     Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela's life.At two and a half years old，Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis.From ages 8 to 11，she worked hard，repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques.When Mikaela was 11，she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy，a Vermont boarding school for skiers.According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer，"What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best.Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now." At age 14，Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds.And she won!By the time she was 17，she had already won her first World Cup race.For Mikaela，working hard is a full-time job.In the summer，when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym，her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting，core body work，and biking to improve her strength and agility.
     "If you're passionate about your goals，whatever they are，" she says，"there's no limit to what you can achieve.Give it your all!"

• 13．Carpenter is the lead author of a paper in Nature Reviews Psychology that examined more than 100 years of research on learning.
     "The benefits of spacing and retrieval practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs，classrooms，workplaces，but the reason why we're presenting this research is that these two techniques haven't fully caught on.If they were employed all the time，we'd see big increases in learning，"said Carpenter.
     In the paper，Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small amounts over time.It's the opposite of cramming（塞滿） the night before an exam.In one study，medical students who received repeated surgery training over three weeks performed better and faster on tests 2 weeks and 1 year later compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day.
     Carpenter says there isn't a universal rule about how much time to schedule between practice sessions.But research shows returning to the material after forgetting some—but not all—of the content is effective.
     Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously.It can take many forms，including flash cards，practice tests and open-ended writing prompts，and helps learners recognize what they do and don't know.The paper's authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better.
     More than 200 studies show people generally maintain more information for longer periods of time with retrieval practice compared to strategies that do not involve retrieval （e.g.，re-reading a textbook.）
     The authors argue people who combine spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering information.
     "Forgetting is a very natural thing；you can't stop forgetting even if you try，but you can slow down forgetting by using retrieval practice and spacing，" said Carpenter.
     Carpenter says she uses digital tools （e.g.，online practice quizzes，clicker questions） to incorporate retrieval practice and spacing into her university courses，but there are other ways to bring these strategies into the classroom.
  
  （1）Why do the author and his group present this research？

  
  A．Because people don't accept the two techniques.
  B．Because the two techniques haven't popularized.
  C．Because people have much difficulty in learning.
  D．Because the two techniques are taking little effect.
  （2）How does Carpenter prove spacing is superior to cramming？

  
  A．By studying some cases.
  B．By receiving some training.
  C．By applying some rules.
  D．By scheduling some time.
  （3）What can retrieval practice help people to get？

  
  A．Self assessment.
  B．Wide recognition.
  C．Positive response.
  D．General strategies.
  （4）What might Carpenter talk about in the following paragraphs？

  
  A．The benefits of spacing and retrieval practice.
  B．Potential ways used to slow down forgetting.
  C．Arguments about what to do to stop forgetting.
  D．Other university courses worth remembering.

• 19．No Time With a broad smile on her lips，15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting.But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open，and spoke in an impatient tone， "No time，baby.Right now I am busy with an important talk.Just wait for some time，OK？"
      Holding her oil painting，she frowned （皺眉），and then searched for her dad.
      "Dad，see what I have done，" Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice.Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie，grinned at her，and showed his thumbs up!
      Immediately，blowing her two cheeks，Sirin replied angrily， "Dad，you haven't seen it yet."
      He smiled at her saying， "No time，baby.I will see it later." He just patted her back lovingly，kissed her forehead，and rushed for his office.
      She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile.She stood there for a few seconds，and then stormed off to her own bedroom.Hot air was blowing from her nostrils （鼻孔）；her face turned into apple red.She threw the painting on the table，slammed （把……砰地關上） the door and threw herself on her bed.
      "Why is everybody so busy？" She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school，middle school and even in high school too!She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts，but they were no exception.Unconsciously，her eyes were filled with tears.
      The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought.Her mom was calling her for dinner.Sirin came late to join them on purpose.She kept silent and didn't look at anyone，scratching（刮） the table mat with her nail.Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior.Suddenly，the morning incident clicked in her mind.Softly，she asked， "Honey，did I do anything wrong？"
  Para 1：At this very moment，Sirin could no longer resist her anger.
                                                                                                                                                  
  Para 2：When back from school the next day，Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated painting on thewall.
