Your Local Caff (小餐馆)

Learning to say “yes, and”
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However,I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable andeven started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth findingout whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support a preconceived (先入为主的) story, but to say “yes, and.”
4. Why did the author attend the improvisation class?
A. To get a different experience.
B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.
C. To give up her job as a science communicator.
D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
5. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?
A. She formed her own idea quickly.
B. She came up with lots of creative responses.
C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
6. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ______.
A. explain the process of using the method
B. prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C. share her own research experiences with readers
D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
7. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?
A. They should attend the improvisation class.
B. They should question all preconceived ideas.
C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.
C
Thefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces. The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.
Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces. In fact, their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents. Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months. But by nine months, they lose this skill. By nine months, a baby’s face-recognition skills are about the same as an adult’s.
Unfortunately, some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces. The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesn’t work for them. This condition is called face blindness. People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces. In fact, people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror. They don’t recognize their own face, so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.
Face blindness is not always severe. Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by
face blindness to some degree, yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it. They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out. This is similar to people with color1 blindness. Colorblind people can’t see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green, until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.
There is no cure for face blindness. So for the time being, people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem. They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle, their voice, or their glasses. Hopefully, in the future as scientists learn more about this condition, they may find a cure.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The way to improve one’s face-recognition skills.
B. The simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces.
C. The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.
D. The importance of face recognition in human communication.
9. When do children have the best face-recognition skills?
A. At birth.
B. Half a year old.
C. Nine months old.
D. In adolescence.
10. What does the underlined word “startled” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A. Depressed.
B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed.
D. Surprised.
11. What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?
A. People need to take it seriously.
B. Certain techniques can make up for it.
C. It will be cured in the near future.
D. It has the same effect with color1 blindness.
D
We all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.
But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.
“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.
How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”
Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.
Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”
People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.
12. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.
B. The fresher the information isthe easier to remember.
C. Thinking is more important than remembering in study.
D. The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.
13. How does the writer prove his opinion?
A.By giving examples.
B. By listing numbers.
C. By borrowing words of experts.
D. By providing scientific finding.
14. What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?
A. You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.
B. Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.
C. Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.
D. Regular repetition helps to form good habits.
15. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
A. How the Brain Works
B. Reading for More
C. Fighting Against Forgetting
D. Repeat to Remember

52.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Every time I look at Tim’s result paper that I have stuck on the wall, I remember how arrogant (傲慢的)∧was
about my cleverness, and I feel ashamed. I was proud of myself for passing all my math tests. I was the best in class at math and had never scored less than ninety marks. There was another boy in my class named Tim. He had never been able to keep up with the rest of the class or pass any test we had. We always called him “Stupid” or “No Brains”. Little did I know he was going to show me who the real “No Brains” was.
One day, we got our latest math test paper back. As expected, I got full marks, and Tim failed as usual. My teacher, Mr Yap, did not scold him for failing, but praised him and told him he could do better next time. That day I could not hold back what I wanted to say any more. I stood up and called out, “Why are you praising him, Sir? He has always been failing his math. Shouldn’t you blame him?” The whole class turned to look at me, and Mr Yap, with a very angry face, told me in an icy cold voice, “David, meet me during break time in my office.” I knew I was in deep trouble and now had to face it.
I knocked at the staff room door. When I went in, Mr Yap told me to take a seat. I was puzzled. “Isn’t he going to scold me?” I wondered. He said, “The reason I am not blaming you is that Tim told me not to.” “But I have been rude to him all the time!” I was very surprised. “He actually has a reason why he cannot pass his tests. It started ten years ago. His father passed away when he was only two years old. Now he is big enough to help his mother with chores (家务) and serve at her food store. He has little time to study,” Mr Yap explained.
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
