His father and Mr. Drew were deeply absorbed in conversation not far away, which Clive could overhear.“...North Dakota, cap ital Bi smarck, ”said Clive’s father.“Yes; and of So uth Dakota it’s Pierre. Delaware next, capital Dover, with a population of only 5, 000…”Clive listened, checking the names. When they got stuck on Indiana(印第安纳州), he came down the tree and went acro ss to them.“Le t me see now, ”Mr. Drew was saying, “Indiana, Indiana... the capital must be Fort Wayne. ”“No, ”said the other, “I think it’s Evansville. ”“Indianapolis, ”said Clive. “That’s theeasiest of all to remember. ”Both the men laughed. “He’s right, you know, ”Mr. Drew said. Clive’s father agreed, “Yes, yes. Indiana, Indianapolis. Now Kansas...”Clive, who was thirteen then, was not very clever at school. But at that moment he felt rather proud of himself.Looking back now, after many years, Clive remembers some of the ways he learned geography. One thing he remembers clearly is the “test”that took place every other week. The teacher used to pin up a big map on the board－China perhaps, or the United States, Australia or Europe... The map would have everything on it, except the names. The teacher, pointing with a long, wooden stick, began.“Ready? Fifty questions. Number 1－write the name of this river. Number 2－the name of this State. 3－its capital, here. 4－the name of this bay. 5...”Clive has quite forgotten whether he enjoyed learning geography or not. He didn’t consider the rights or wrongs. Though he has never studied geography since he left school, he has never forgotten it. He is glad about the way he learned. The work might have been dull, unexciting; but if so, the dullness has given him a lifetime of interest, understanding and pleasure.56.

You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.”On the contrary, “says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology(心理学), “daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day... You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识的)mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues. “Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures...Day dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the thingswe long for in life. “Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling(处理)them.Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.64.

The smallest kinds are about the size of a dinner plate. But some 4-metre stingrays live in the waters near Australia.About 170 different kinds of stingrays live in the oceans around the world. And some live in freshwater too. In South America, a few kinds swim in the Amazon and other rivers that flow into the Atlantic. One ocean kind, the Atlantic stingray, also lives in the St. Johns River in Florida.A stingray has a mouth and nostrils(鼻孔) on the bottom of its body. These nostrils are for smelling, not for breathing.When water flows into a stingray’s nostrils, the fish may pick up the smells of creatures it wants to eat. It can also find prey(牺牲者) by sensing the tiny amount of electricity that animals give off. Slowly, slowly the fish hunts by moving along the ocean or river bottom. When it senses a worm, clam, shrimp, or other creature, it flaps (拍打) its fins until the prey is uncovered. Then the fish lies down over the prey, sucks it in, and crunches it with its small teeth.A stingray’s flat shape helps it hide. It stirs up a cloud of sand by flapping its big, flat fins. When the sand settles down over the fish, everything is covered but its eyes, breathing holes, and sometimes its tail.Its tail gave the “sting” to a stingray’s name. When a stingray is attacked by an enemy, it whips its tail around. Then a sharp stinger releases a powerful poison into the enemy.When stingrays are on the ocean bottom, it’s easy for a diver to step on one by mistake. Then the fish usually stings the person in the ankle. The poison is very painful, and the wound may hurt for a day or two. Worse yet, pieces of the stinger can break off and infect the ankle. But stingrays don’t chase after prey or people to sting them. In fact, divers can swim among friendly stingrays without getting hurt.。
