九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off.

Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1.

Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director.

Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America.

2025年中考备考专题初中英语阅读理解议论文真题精选专项训练
专题2025中考备考初中英语阅读理解议论文真题精选专项训练AWhen considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn't have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn't bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend (倾向于) to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (有重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name: enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met some earlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity, of achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one's ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn't know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say, "That really was fun" and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed, and grown.Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoys food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it's impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It's for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.1.You will most probably experience enjoyment when you ________.A. buy expensive shoesB. order a delicious mealC. talk with friends for new ideasD. sit quietly in front of a television2.What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.3.The words "psychic energy" in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.A. attentionB. interestC. abilityD. knowledge4.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growthB. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growthC. a worthy life depends on luck and environmentD. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy lifeBComputer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don't need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave's robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!5.Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?A. It will become more beautiful.B. It can do better in lifting things.C. It will pay more attention to children.D. It can better communicate with people.6.What does the underlined word "creepy" mean in paragraph 2?A. Uncomfortable to look at.B. Impossible to touch.C. Boring to talk to.D. Difficult to understand.7.Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?A. People should treat robots as humans.B. Robots need to express their own feelings.C. Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.D. People can easily accept robots with a human face.8.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.B. To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.C. To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.D.

Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want.

How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future，how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up，you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费) things.Consuming products is not necessarily bad.However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school.You don't have to go toclass.However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping，no movies，no eating out.How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend.Perhaps you would help a child read.Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back，it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories.Why? Non-c onsuming activities are active, not passive.They don't come in a package.You make the experience yourself.For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience.The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly, when you have a conversation with a friend，you are actively creating an experience.The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else.However，if you watch a movie with a friend，you will each have apackaged experience.It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences.We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing.However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism.How? By consuming less.We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction.Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1．If consuming products takes too much time, we should .A．spend less moneyB．think about it carefullyC．organize our thingsD．go to convenience stores2．According to the passage, the writer believes that .A．we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB．buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC．the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD．consuming experiences will be our most important memories3．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B．To encourage people to have more active experiences.C．To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.D．To share his personal experience in consuming products.(十一)(2017·浙江丽水中考)Think of a simple object—a piece of chalk, for example.Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense.They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses.Then，messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory.It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long-term memory.To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape.Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and ughter also makes your brain more active.Also，don't forget to exercise.So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house.Finally, get plenty of sleep.This will make your memories grow stronger.When you want to remember new information, you must pay speciale your senses—sight, smell, hearing and touch—and keep repeating the information.To do well in your exams this year，turn off the TV，silence your mobile，and review your work regularly.To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual(视觉的) connections.For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam.Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal，the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head.Your animalis hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips.It may sound crazy, but it's fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room.Turn a picture upside-down，or tie a sock around the door handle to remind(提醒) yourself of something to remember!1．At the beginning, the writer gives an example to ．A．lead in the topic of the articleB．show the importance of chalkC．let readers remember the wordD．make readers know his favorite2．How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2?A．2.B．3. C．4.D．5.3．The main idea of the third paragraph is .A．how to do well in examsB．how to remember new informationC．why to review your workD．what to eat to make memories stronger4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Memory has nothing to do with languages.B．Laughter can help to improve our memory.C．A picture of eating chips is the most useful.D．Our brain is difficult to keep in good shape.(十二)(2018·江苏宿迁中考)Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The na is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself,usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “ta to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food.They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy fo r humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they oftenjoin others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people.Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans forgetting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal(发信号)to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch alot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them—they getto eat some of the fish that escape(逃脱) from the net.？1．What is a dolphin's “name”A．It is a kind of game. B．It is a body sign.C．It is a dolphin's age.D．It is a specific sound.2．What does the underlined word “others” refer to?A．Other fishes. B．Other people.C．Other dolphins.D．Other games.。

With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking acourse. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age.

Xue Minxiu, born in 1937, graduated with excellent grades after working hard for 4 years.Going to a university has always been a dream for Xue. But for some reasons, she didn't have the chance when she was young. Even so, she never forgot her dream. In2014, she was accepted by Tianjin University and finally her dream came true. Since then, Xue has been a model for the people around her. She got up at 5 o'clock every morning. Then she studied for a while before brushing teeth and having breakfast. Her room was filled with books and newspapers. Wherever she went, she would take books with her.In fact, for her age, Xue had many difficulties during the four years. But nothing could stop her. Whenever she had problems, she would either solve them by herself or ask teachers for help. Through her hard work, she passed the exams and was named “a star student” during the first period of her college life.“I t hink the true meaning of our lives is to challenge(挑战) and improve ourselves whether we are old or young. Xue said at the graduation ceremony.“For me, learning something I enjoy is a lifelong journey. I want to thank Tianjin University for giving me the chance to achieve my dream. Our lifetime is short, so we should make good use of it.”1．At the age of ，Xue was accepted by Tianjin University.A．77B．85 C．81D．732．With the help of ，Xue solved her problems in study.A．her family and friendsB．her teachers and herselfC．her teachers and classmatesD．her classmates and herself3．What is the best title(标题) for the passage?A．A Graduation CeremonyB．A Hard-working Old LadyC．A Difficult ExaminationD．A University in Tianjin4．Where do you think the passage may come from?A．A science report.B．A travel book.C．A newspaper.D．An advertisement.(五)(2018·山东临沂中考)What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin(青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. Sh e says you have a “staph” infection(葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds(霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can't see them.They're too small. There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment(实验) fail. That's why dishes are covered.Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years.One day he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germ. There was also some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. “By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph.”This is how penicillin was found. But here's the real miracle(奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds(秒). In those few seconds the right mold fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understood what the mold did.

In the background, a young girl reads a rejection(拒绝) letter from a ballet school. “You have the wrong body for ballet” it says, “and at thirteen, you are too old.” This was one of the most popular advertisements(广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theater's principal(主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old.

She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend.

Having a history ofabout 200 years, it is developed from absorbing(吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama‘Huiban’，which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic(戏剧的) art integrating music, performance, literature, aria, and face painting.Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics.In addition to its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers(表演者) of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.“You will be puzzled(困惑) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested.

How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future，how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up，you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费) things.Consuming products is not necessarily bad.However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school.You don't have to go toclass.However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping，no movies，no eating out.How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend.Perhaps you would help a child read.Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back，it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories.Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive.They don't come in a package.You make the experience yourself.For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience.The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly, when you have a conversation with a friend，you are actively creating an experience.The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else.However，if you watch a movie with a friend，you will each have apackaged experience.It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences.We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing.However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism.How?

Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense.They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses.Then，messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory.It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long-term memory.To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape.Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and ughter also makes your brain more active.Also，don't forget to exercise.So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house.Finally, get plenty of sleep.This will make your memories grow stronger.When you want to remember new information, you must pay special e your senses—sight, smell, hearing and touch—and keep repeating the information.To do well in your exams this year，turn off the TV，silence your mobile，and review your work regularly.To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual(视觉的) connections.For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam.Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal，the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head.Your animalis hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips.It may sound crazy, but it's fun and it works.

The name is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy fo r humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals.
