16.Why Does Walking through Doorways Make Us Forget?We've all done it.Run upstairs to get your keys,but forget that it is them you're looking for once you get to the bedroom.Open the fridge door and reach for the middle shelf only to realize that we can't remember why we opened the fridge in the first place.
We can understand those temporary moments of forgetfulness may be more than just an annoyance.Although these errors can be embarrassing,they are also common.It's known as the"Doorway Effect",and it shows some important features of how our minds are organized.Understanding this might help us accept those temporary moments of forgetfulness as more than just an annoyance.
The Doorway Effect occurs when our attention moves between levels,and it reflects the trust in our memories---even memories for what we were about to do---on the environment we're in.
Imagine that we're going upstairs to get our keys and forget that it is the keys we came for as soon as we enter the bedroom.Psychologically,what has happened is that the plan ("Keys!") has been forgotten even in the middle of carrying out a necessary part of the strategy ("Go to bedroom!").Probably the plan itself is part of a larger plan ("Get ready to leave the house!"),which is part of plans on a wider and wider field ("Go to work!","Keep my job!","Be a productive and responsible citizen",or whatever).Each field requires attention at some point.Somewhere in controlling the complex levels the need for keys suddenly comes into mind.
Our memories,even for our goals,are planted in webs of connections.That can be the physical environment in which we form them,which is why revisiting our childhood home can bring back a flood of previously forgotten memories,or it can be the mental environment---the set of things we were just thinking about when that thing suddenly comes into mind.
The Doorway Effect occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments,moving to a different room and thinking about different things.That hurriedly thought-up goal,which was probably only one plate among the many we're trying to spin(旋轉(zhuǎn)),gets forgotten when the context changes.

6.The Chinese government has decided to end its one-child policy and allow families to have two children.A statement gives the reasons for the change,(61)saying (say) it is meant to balance population development,stop a declining birth rate and strengthen the country's work force.
China (62)carried (carry) out the one-child policy in 1980.But the government permitted a small number of (63)couples (couple) to have two children.For example,some rural families were given (64)approval  (approve) to have two if the first-born was a girl.In 2013,the government permitted other families to have two if one parent was an only child.
A teacher and population expert,Jiang Quanbao,explains how Chinese families will react (65)to the policy."Many young people in the cities are (66)probably (probable) not interested in having a second child,"he says,"People in rural villages may be (67)more (much) interested,but some of them are already allowed to have two children."
At the end of 2014,China had (68)a population of 1.37 billion people,a total of 800 million of (69).whom are employed.But that job market population is expected (70)to drop (drop) by 2050.With the two-child policy,the labor shortage will be relieved,starting in 20years.

11.If life is a beach,then a village in Ireland has come back from the dead after the sand returned 33years later due to a freak tide.
Dooagh beach on Achill Island in the west of Ireland,was washed away in 1984after storms hit the area,leaving a rocky foreshore.The tourists left,causing the hotels and guesthouses as well as the cafes to close down.But in April this year,the sand returned over a ten-day period caused by an unusually high tide that deposited hundreds of thousands of tons of sand along the 300m beach,bringing the beautiful beach back to its former glory.
Emmet Callaghan from Achill Island Tourist Office told the journalist that the people of the island were excited at the beach's reappearing."It's so nice for the villagers to have their beach back.It is an incredible example of the force and power of nature and how the coast can change in a matter of days.Yesterday we had traffic block here in the village with cars and people coming from all over Ireland and the UK to see our new beach,"he said."The people here have always spoken about their days on the beach and how they enjoyed it as children.To have it back with their kids is unbelievable.Now locals are hoping that the beach is given the blue flag status.We already have five blue flag beaches and hopefully,if we keep our beach here,we'll have a sixth."
Dr Ivan Haigh from the University of Southampton said there were two explanations as to why the beach has reformed."It could be a change in sediment (沉積物) supply,from further up or down the coast which has brought a fresh amount of sediment to the beach,"he said."It could also be due to a change in environmental conditions,either a change in the wave climate or a series of tides that have provided the ideal conditions for this beach to reform."
The tourism office and locals hope the new beach will stay,at least for the summer of this year.

58.What can we infer from the article?D
A.Dooagh beach was washed away by storms in 1980s.

C.Blue flag beaches are beneficial to children in the village.
D.The locals had wonderful memories about Dooagh beach.
59.The people on Achill Island hope the new Dooagh beach will stay becauseC.
A.its reforming shows the force and power of nature
B.they will have more beaches to enjoy with families
C.they hope it can help promote the village's economy
D.it will make the summer of the village amazing
60.What might be the reason for the beach's reforming?B
A.The wave climate keeps changing.
B.A series of tides provide the proper conditions.
C.Environmental conditions are getting better.
D.A fresh amount of sediment exists in the sea.

What is the most valuable thing in the world?Although the answer many vary from person to person,but as for me,reading books is most valuable than anything else.As old saying goes,"To open a book is always helpful."
First,books are our teachers.They introduce different kind of knowledge to us,include science and literature.Books are our friends either.With the valuable experience in them,books often helps us out when we meet difficulties.By increasing our knowledge and enlarge our experience,books lead us down the road to succeed.Therefore,to read more books is the best policy for we young students.
