Think Before Keeping Pets

More and more people like to keep pets. In their eyes, keeping pets has many advantages. It can teach people a sense of responsibility. What's more, it can drive away the loneliness. It can also reduce people's stress.2-1-c-n-j-y

But I'd like to voice different opinions.

A recent survey in the United States showed that the common family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although to some degree unbelievable, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors（客厅）where loved pets rest. Are

Americans different from others in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.

This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often provide more vitamins（维生素）than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of medical bills or animal furniture（家具）. It is difficult to feel happy about

this when considering what that money could do for the hungry and the poor, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.

There are some reasons why I find pet-raising worrying. They lead to physical problems. An example of this is New York where it is difficult to deal with the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a big problem. Animals can cause illness, too.

Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the \been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on \or \lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.

So please have a second thought before you keep a pet.

How to Improve Your Memory

Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex（复杂的）part of his body - the brain. It may be surprising to learn that it isn't age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a \memory, not an old one. Like your body, your memory improves with exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power. Before discussing how to improve the memory, lets look at how the brain works. There are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. The right side deals with senses (what we see, hear, feel and smell) . It's the creative and imaginative side. The left side is related to logical（逻辑的）thinking, which analyzes（分析） information and put it in order. Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. The problem most of us have is recalling（回忆）events. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten, and so on.

This research is very important. It shows if you review new material you have learnt, you remember much more. So it's of the greatest importance to review newly learned material often, and have breaks often. You best remember what you learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, review what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.21世纪教育网版权所有

Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to take in what has been learned. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After the break, the memory will have taken in what it has just learned, and more will be remembered. During this period it is important to exercise the right side of the brain, because the left side is used during the learning period. Therefore you should relax. Listening to music, breathing in fresh air, and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain. So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to review newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will improve. 53.To fight forgetting better, we're advised to .21教育网

A.break down materials into small prices B.use two sides of the brain together C.make proper use of our senses D.go over what was learned often 54.During the learning process the brain needs breaks to . A.use the right side of the brain B.review newly learnt materials C.take in what has been learnt D.relax the left side of the brain 55.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Old age makes people lose their memory and forget the past.21*cnjy*com B.People can remember 20% an hour after learning something new. C.Listening to music is the best way to use the left side of the brain. D.Memory works best at the beginning and the end of a learning period.

Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? 58 , and you have done what you should do. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, it's necessary for you to think them over when you try new things. 59 . We shouldn't spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. 60 . There is an old saying, \you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.\

A.If you never try new things B.After all, our time and money are limited C.Because you have said what you should say D.The second good thing about mistakes is this E.In this way, you can avoid some unnecessary mistakes
