Google honored Mary Ross with a special Google Doodle on its homepage.Ross was born on August 9, 1908, in the state of Oklahoma. She was the great-granddaughter of John Ross, the longest—serving chief of the Cherokee Nation. Her work is considered important to the early stages of the age of space travel.Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age. As a student, she developed an interest in aviation, or the practice of flying aircraft. She went on to earn a master’s degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College, now called the University of Northern Colorado.During World War II, Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a mathematician. She earned a special certification in the field from the University of California in1949. Ross was later chosen to join Lockheed’s top—secret Skunk Works team that worked on aircraft designs. The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced projects. She was the only female engineer among the team’s 40 members.Early on, she researched defense systems. By the late 1950s, her work centered on satellites and a series of space rockets called Agenda. The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s during the Apollo moon program.Ross also helped develop early design ideas for space travel between planets, including flyby space flights to study Venus and Mars. Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973. But she continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native Americans to study engineering. She died in 2008, a few months before her 100th birthday.Many celebrated Ross’ life on social media. Twitter user Aaron Perez, for example, wrote:“ Mary Ross was an engineer who pioneered in the field of satellites. I never would have known if it wasn’t for the doodle. Women engineers deserve more recognition.”24. Why did Google celebrate Mary Ross’ 110th birthday?A. She invented a new flying aircraft.B. She had been a great designer ever.C.

Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all theinformation at hand. It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元）in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain’s learning region, try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.28. How can we help our brains produce more neurons? 'A. By having deep sleep frequently.B. By practicing swimming regularly.C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.D. By learning new skills constantly.29. Which of the following can best replace “facilitate” underlined in paragraph 5?A. promoteB. repeatC. postponeD. abuse30. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.B. Decisions can’t be made without memories.C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Caution：do remember to forgetB. Why and how people choose to forgetC. Want to become smarter? Learn to forgetD. Being forgetful might mean you are smarterDMany college students complain about dormitory life: a sweltering room without air-conditioning in summer and a dormitory gate which is closed at 11 pm. But they may miss their dormitories after graduation, when they have to spend as much as a third of their income renting a shabby room.The rising prices of daily necessities, including food, water, gas and electricity, are also making graduates save every penny to make ends meet. Faced with the high cost of living, college graduates need to make every penny work when they budget their income.When it comes to renting, try to spend no more than one third of your income on it．Better still, only spend a quarter, according to Hao Qian, a career consultant. Hao also reminds graduates to set aside about one fifth of their income for social activities. “People have spent more on their social lives because of changes in forms of entertainment,” said Hao, “For example, new friends may want to meet you at a quiet club instead of at a noisy house.”In spite of the high cost of living, many college graduates still, tryto stay in big cities. They usually work in industries such as finance, public relations and IT, which depend on a booming city economy and technology．Hao advises such graduates to reduce their expenditure on shopping as much as possible. “If you are not in jobs such as PR and sales which require you to dress well, you don't need to spend much on clothes and accessories （服装配饰）, said Hao, “Spend less than one eighth of your monthly income on shopping.”32. What does the underlined word "sweltering" in the first paragraph probably mean？A. Hot and airlessB. Damp and narrowC. Simple and dullD. Comfortable and rich33. Which item takes up the most income of the graduates according to Hao Qian？A. TravelB. ShoppingC. Social activitiesD. Renting34. How does the author begin the text?A. By making comparisonsB. By making analysisC. By using an exampleD. By describing processes35.
