35、pensive but popularD. amazing and enjoyableBThe time-honored lamp and lantern business in Pingvao county, Shanxi province waspopular back when there were large festivities or celebrations and corporations, institutions and government offices needed lanterns to decorate their halls and streets.Then t

36、he central government started calling for budget cuts, and no unnecessary celebrations, so the industry was staring at a depressed market and a number of enterprises just shut down and the Pingyao faced a challenge. But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to success and the market downturn

37、 has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed new products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.

38、Li Xiaoqian, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-produet groups to arts and crafts and are “making culture” instead of just products. Previously, they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu. Zhejiang and Taiwan cultures as well and even got the invi

39、tation from the city of Taichung. Taiwan to take part in 2015 lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may not bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural exchanges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among

40、 museums and tourist spots that valued Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern business with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical materials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exh

41、ibition centers.So, it looks as if, in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.59.

42、D. they lost attraction to their former customers60. What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?A. Improving product quality.B. Adjusting managing strategy.C. Designing beautiful patterns.D. Advertising products widely.61. Which is the main factor in Li s crafts shop winning the compe

43、tition?A. Their technique.B. Their talent.C. Their creativity.D. Their devotion.62. One of the purposes of the news story is probably _.A. to provide an example for other businesses to follow B. to ask more people to take part in 2015 lantern showC. to introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to reade

44、rsD. to call for a yet more booming market in the businessCIf I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would you go about it? Theres a fair chance that youd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have on

45、e, we dont have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws (缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings' mental blind spots.One area where these blind spots are particularly lar

46、ge is learning. Were actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best. Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given t

47、he Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learn

48、t, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven't yet learnt. It

49、s a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but its a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success-for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what th

50、ey were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didnt have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems

51、 the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate (鞏固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them, if youve learnt them,

52、but you should keep testing what youve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: theres more to testing than finding out what students knowtests can also help us remember.63. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts b

53、ecause _.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we dont understand well what we are learningC. we don't know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones64. The researchers' experiment was intended to _.A. confirm we dont know how to leant effec

What does the author believe leads' to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent re

A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD. A discovery of a mental blind spotDIn the remote corner of

56、the country a meteorological(氣象的) station was set up. Next to the station was the manager's house. Apart from looking after the instruments, his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that, should questions be asked, the authorities would not be at a loss but ha

57、ve the necessary information at hand.The manager was a most conscientious young man. He wrote his reports in a neat hand and always truthfully. If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from every possible angle: when, how much, for how long.Towards the end of the summer, storms became frequent and they brought rain with them. He described them truthfully in detail, and sent his reports to the head offices. The storms continued.One day he had a visit from an old
