We each have a memory(记忆力). That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language.
Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

New York City is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school?
In New York you can travel around the city by underground, bus, taxi and car. The underground train runs on the railway lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by underground is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by bus. It is a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves on the road on which traffic is often heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to every place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there are rush hours. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and back from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. It is inconvenient(不方便的)since you will perhaps be driving in the rush hour. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the time after the morning rush hour and before the afternoon rush hour. Traffic will be less crowded during this time since most people are already at work or at home.
56．How many ways of travelling around New York City are mentioned(提及) in the passage?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
57．The fastest way to travel in New York is ________.
A．by bus B．by underground C．by taxi D．by car
58．The expensive way to travel in New York is by ________.
A．taxi B．underground C．bus D．car
59．The phrase “rush hours” in the fourth paragraph means ________ in Chinese.
A．比赛中的冲刺时刻B．匆匆忙忙的几小时
C．(上下班) 交通高峰时刻D．几小时内所跑的路程
60．If you travel around New York in your own car, which of the following is the best time?
A．From 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.B．From 3 p.m. to 10 a.m.
C．From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.D．From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
