The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world when it sailed on its ill-fate

27、d maiden voyage in 1912. Of the 2,227 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died. The ship, which was headed to New York City, carried the rich and famous on its first voyage. It also carried immigrants, who were seeking a better life in America.Relatives of people who sailed on the Titanic, h

28、istorians, authors and people fascinated by the story of the unsinkable ship, are on the Balmoral. They want to remember the doomed ship and those who died on her first and last voyage. The historic liner had set sail on April 10, 1912, from Southampton. Late at night on April 14, she hit an iceberg

29、. In the early morning hours of April 15, the Titanic sank.The Balmoral is following Titanics original route from Southampton. First, the modern-day cruise liner docked in the port of Cherbourg, France, where the Titanic had picked up more passengers. On Monday afternoon, the Balmoral stops in Cobh,

30、 Ireland, the Titanics last port of call before sailing to New York. Balmoral will then cruise the North Atlantic Ocean to the location where Titanic hit an iceberg that ripped the ships hull(外殼). On Sunday, April 15, at 2:20 a.m.the time the Titanic went downpassengers and crew will hold a memorial

31、 service. The next two days will be spent in Halifax, Canada, where many victims of the sinking are buried. Then, the Balmoral will reach its final destination in New York City, where Titanic was supposed to dockbut never did.Until today, several teams of divers have explored the site. They have rec

32、overed some items such as dishes and silverware and put them on public display. And more trips are planned to the wreckage in the future. The Titanic and its passengers and crew have been remembered in books, movies and TV programs. But theres a much more important contribution that Titanic gave us.

36、or help: struggling with schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.This theory might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students l

37、ots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Dont be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur told TFK. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can

38、lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teachers help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead o

39、f getting help from the teacher. With the teachers help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas. The students were then tested on what they had learned. The gr

40、oup without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process, not just the solution.Kapurs advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for

41、help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all wont work,” says Kapur. “The struggle needs to be a genuine attempt to figure out or solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”55. When you have doubt on schoolwork, youd better _. A. ask your teacher for help B. make it clear by yourself C. ask

42、 your classmates to help you D. ask your parents for help 56. Whats Manu Kapur educational idea on learning new knowledge? A. Give students much help as soon as possible. B. Let students learn it on themselves in one way. C. Let students learn it by themselves in the same way. D. Let students learn

43、it for themselves in different ways.57. How did Kapur check his idea on better learning? A. By asking questions. B. By solving art problems. C. By group comparations.D. By solving science problems. 58. What is most important in learning knowledge?A. Getting the teachers help. B. Getting the students

44、 help. C. Grasping the learning course. D. Receiving the final solution. CA recent Living Social survey showed that Americans may live up to their poor reputation while travelling abroad. But whats more surprising is that many of those surveyed self-identified themselves as ugly Americans and the wo

45、rlds worst travelers.Those in the U.S. ranked themselves as the worst travellers by a shocking 20 per cent, followed by 15 per cent saying the Chinese were the most substandard tourists.Americans topped the list as being the worst-behaved travelers in a survey of 5,600 respondents, 4,000 of whom wer

46、e Americans. Other respondents were in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. But even American respondents considered their compatriots(同胞) as the worst travelers from a list of 16 nationalities.Canadians and Australians also put Americans in the No. 1 spot. Irish respondents pointed to

47、 U.K. residents and U.K. respondents gave Germans the nod. On the other hand, 37% of Americans opted for none of the above in answer to the worst-tourists question, displaying more tolerance and open-mindedness than the other nationalities.Other survey questions had respondents admitting pilfering f

48、rom hotels. Four in ten U.S. survey-takers said theyd stolen something mostly towels (28%) and bathrobes (8%). Other popular pinched items included pillows, remote controls, Bibles and sheets.Not surprising is that Americans have less time off from work than other nationalities. Americans reported g

49、etting 16 days off, compared with 28 days for the Irish, 27 days for Australians, 23 days for U.K. workers; and 21 days for Canadians.In the travel mishaps department, the most common travel disaster reported by Americans was lost luggage on an airline (21%)； bad weather (21%)； and getting very lost

50、 (16%).As for places Americans most want to see, Disney World and Las Vegas made the top 10, but they werent at the top of the heap. And New York didnt make the cut.59. What percentage of American respondents is in the survey?A.20 % B.15% C.71% D.37%60. The underlined word “pilfering” in Para. 5 mos

51、t probably means _. A. takingB. bringingC. stealing D. borrowing.61.

52、re announced as the worlds worst travellers.B. The global worst travellers were announced. C. Disney World is the best destination to Americans. D. European travellers were the best in the worldDBaby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for cars, a

53、study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to ch

54、oose from seven toys. Some were typically boys toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys；and could pick whichever toy they liked their choice and the amount of time they spent playing

55、 with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the dol

56、l while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the childrens choice.Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that go while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their pre
