8、ppening when you were a child? Grownups are often amazed by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle af

9、ter many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explan

10、ation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials (嘗試) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we h

11、ave learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly

12、the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學習) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn

13、the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.

16、 School subjects.C. Things easily forgotten.D. The multiplication tables.What we choose to do is up to us. “Life is for living”, according to a well-used expression. That may not be completely true, but there is no harm in dreaming about what wed like to achieve in our life. Many of us write a list

17、of things wed like to do before we leave this world often called a bucket list.Bucket lists have been called “the greatest hits of your life” and have helped some people overcome anxiety which would have stopped them following their dreams. Some of us may choose to write one to fill our life with ex

18、citing and new experiences from skydiving to swimming with sharks the list is unlimited. This is something the BBC radio programme “All in the Mind” has been looking at. It heard from a blogger called Annette White, who said she made a promise to live her bucket list which “continuously pushes the c

19、omfort zone to its limits and beyond it.” Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help you plan your life and give you focus.Creating a bucket list can certainly give us hope, but Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that he was “not really in favour of bucket lists, which take you away

20、 from the chance to be spontaneous(順其自然的).” Its probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone elses idea of the perfect life. But why not at least dream of what we would like to do? Why not reach for the stars, even if we only reach the sky? Whether we want to plan it or just see

When we ignore our bucket list.Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute

25、ing from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes, each containing 10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least 190,000 has been distributed.
