（2015·安徽，C)As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how。
In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments。
She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory。
In the first experiment，they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it。
Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the computer。

(2015·天津，C)One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.In the library，I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle w ith a Plan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般的) experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had readthousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己成功的经历来说明读书可以矫正阅读困难的毛病。

(2015·浙江，B)Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information，especially numbers，percentages，and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret.That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.Graphs can seem frightening，but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title，a main idea，and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.Most graphs have a few basic parts：a caption or introduction paragraph，a title，a legend or key，and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example，a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005)．Captions usually summarize the author’s main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Manygraphs，including bar graphs and line graphs，havetwo axes that form a ually these axes arethe left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axiswill always have a label.The label tells you whateach axis measures.Bar GraphsA bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1，we see that the x－axis shows grades that students earned，and the y－axis shows how many students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1)．Line GraphsA line graph looks similar to a bargraph，but instead of bars，it plots pointsand connects them with a line.It has the sameparts as a bar graph—two labeled axes—andcan be read the same way.To read a linegraph，it’s important to focus on the pointsof intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2)．The unit of measurement for the x－axis is days.The unit of measurement for the y－axis is kilometers.Thus we can see that，on the first day，the pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2，which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled down，as between Day 4 and Day 5，it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick，visual way to tell the reader about the bird’s migration.Pie GraphsA typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.Thecircle is divided into sections，and each sectionrepresents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonlyused to show percentages；the whole pie represents 100percent，so each piece is a fraction of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend，or it might useicons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one month’s expenses (See Graph 3)．Food 25Movies 12Clothing 36Savings 20Books 7【语篇解读】 本文介绍了图表的结构和用途，并举例加以说明。

（2016·四川，B)If you could have one superpower,what would it be？Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds,see through walls，or have superhuman strength may sound silly，but it actually gets to the heart of what_really_matters_in_your_life.Every day in our work，we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world。

(2016·天津，D)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than no succeeding。
We experience this tiredness in two ways：as start。
up fatigue（疲惫）and performance fatigue。
In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult。
And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel。
Such startup fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first。

（2015·天津，B）Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years。
Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools。
For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad。
This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks。
The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions；it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home。
