26、Hi Judy!

You often complain to me that you always buy goods unreasonably on sale promotion（促销）and feel it shameful after going back to your school dormitory with new things not needed, considering all the money you spend is your parents’ income.

In fact, this is a common phenomenon, called impulsive buying, a buying unplanned and hard to control. It usually happens when a store offers discounts（打折）or sales promotion—a special way used by stores to get more customers, which means you may fall into its traps even without notice.

Stores, with a good knowledge of customers’ psychology（心理）, make use of it to drive business. Avoiding all the impulsive buying is a hard thing. However, knowing our psychology behind it and reducing the times when influenced by sales promotion may be useful. So you should keep calm when facing the sales promotion by keeping in mind what you really need.

Find out the conditions where you are likely to buy things blindly. When seeing a dress advertised at 20% off, do not concentrate on the discount, but warn yourself against falling into the trap of “saving money’’.

Besides, do not forget the long-term effects of your choice when meeting a sales promotion. Short-term benefits, like excited feeling just after buying items encourage impulsive buying. But the long-term costs such as waste of money and the sense of shame really annoy you. When seeing the advertisements, remember what you really want to buy originally and warn yourself of that terrible feeling. Only in this way can you save money for really needed things.

Yours,

Rachel

【3】In face of sales promotion Judy is advised to ________.

A. have belief in her own immediate decision

B. check the quality of the goods at low prices

27、Educators today are more and more often heard to say that computer literacy is absolutely necessary for college students. Many even argue that each incoming freshman should have his or her own microcomputer. What advantages do computers offer the college students?

Any student who has used a word processor will know one compelling reason to use a computer: to write papers. Although not all students feel comfortable posing on a word processor, most find revising and editing much easier on it. One can alter, insert, or delete just by pressing a few keys, thus ridding students of the need to rewrite or retype. Furthermore, since the revision process is less difficult, students are more likely to revise as often as is necessary to end up with the best paper possible. For these reasons, many freshman English courses require the use of a word processor.

Computers are also useful in the context of language courses, where they are used to drill students in basic skills. Software programs strengthen ESL (English as a Second Language) instruction, as well as instruction in French, German, Spanish, and other languages. By using these programs on a regular basis, students can improve their skills in a language while proceeding at their own pace.

Similarly, business and accounting students find that computer spreadsheet (电子表格) programs are all but important to many aspects of their work, while students pursuing careers in graphic arts, marketing, and public relations find that knowledge of computer graphic (绘图) is important. Education majors learn to develop grading systems using computers, while social science students use computers for analyzing and graphically displacing their research results.

It is no wonder then, that educators support the purchase and use of microcomputers by students. A useful tool, the computer can help students learn. And that is, after all, the reason for going to college.

【1】According to the author, a word processor can be used to________.

A．revise and edit papers

B．rewrite or retype papers

C．complete a freshman’s course

D．improve students’ writing skills

【2】According to the author, the reason for students to go to college is ________.

A．to learn something

B．to perfect themselves

C．to improve computer skills

D．to find one’s passions

【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A．Educational experts have developed grading systems.

B．The computer has fund its way into social science.

C．Rarely do accounting students use computers.

D．computers benefit various majors in college.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．More college students should major in computer science.

B．Machine learning and big data is the future of computer application.

C．Some computer programs can be employed to aid language learning.

D．Educators are reluctant to increase computer use in their own classroom.

28、What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.

When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.

The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.

While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”.

A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.

If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!

Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”

The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.

Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it—a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.

【1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The importance of sleep.

B．The good ways to get a rest.

C．The reason for having a rest.

D．The types of resting activities.

【2】Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying?

A．Reading a newspaper.

B．Playing a video game.

C．Sitting there doing nothing.

D．Having a nice sleep at night.

【3】How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?

A．Less than 7 hours.

B．Just 7 hours.

C．No more than 9 hours.

D．Around 9 hours.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Low-cost Tips on Working

B．Good Things to Do After Your Study

C．Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep?

D．How Long Should We Rest After Learning?

29、200,000 miles from Earth, the crew (机组成员) of the third manned mission (飞行任务) to the Moon faced an astronaut’s worst nightmare: an explosion on the spacecraft. It’s what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but it’s also a true story.

The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970. Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas — the spacecraft was leaking (漏) oxygen. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” At first, they thought that a meteor (流星) had hit them, but they later found out that a short circuit (短路) had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module (指令舱) depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.

The only solution was to move into the lunar module — the section of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon. Now though, they were using it as a kind of lifeboat. With its own power supply, oxygen and water, the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth. There was another problem though. In an enclosed space like a lunar module, the carbon dioxide the crew was breathing out was dangerous. The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people. Now it had to deal with three. Amazingly, the crew managed to build an adapter out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.

There was one final obstacle. The lunar module wasn’t strong enough to reenter Earth’s atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module. To everyone’s relief, the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th. Although the crew didn’t land on the Moon, NASA still considered the mission a success.

【1】What was the astronauts’ first reaction to the explosion?

A．They went out to land on the Moon.

B．They informed scientists on Earth.

C．They moved into the lunar module.

D．They looked into the cause of the explosion.

【2】How did the astronauts solve their oxygen situation in the lunar module?

A．By moving back to the command module.

B．By lowering the carbon dioxide level.

C．By creating a new oxygen supply.

D．By limiting the oxygen use.

【3】What does the underlined word “obstacle” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Step.

B．Choice.

C．Problem.

D．Solution.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．A successful mission

B．An amazing adventure

C．Deep space exploration

D．Life and death drama in space
