Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during the Apollo missions and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen, and

argon The researchers suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rock cracks, may ignite these gases Indeed, lunar rock samples, when fractured in the lab, throw off sparks.

What causes these rocks to crack on the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at the bordersbetween sunlight and shade on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensely heated or cooled

people who have mastered the linguistic complexities and subtleties of sign language but have troublelearning to read

trouble making accurate distinctions between similar auditory signals They often cannot hear the

difference between speech sounds such as "pall", "dah" , and "bah" Recently, differences have beennoted between the visual pathways of dyslexics and those of nondyslexics that suggest a comparableproblem with fast-changing visual stimuli Researchers have also found several other neuroanatomicalabnormalities in the temporal lobe and in other areas of the brain All of these studies are extremely

dyslexic children can be accurately identified and more efficiently helped

VII.Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.

Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds When this short amount

of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory How did the information get

there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest

to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory

There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory The most

accepted theory comes from George A Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit ofinformation, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking or classifying similar informationtogether By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a

memory being passed on to long term storage

When making a Conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in "rote rehearsal" By repeating something over and over again, we are able to keep a

memory alive Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions As soon as a person

stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear When a pen and paper are not handy, you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call, you will forget the number instantly Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short

term to long term memory A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal" This involves assigning

semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories

Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable Retrieving information can

be done by recognition or recall Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term

memory and used often

However, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization

IX Read the passage and choose the correct answers.

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview There are two kinds One is the familiar 'tombstone' that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in chronological order The other is what I call the 'functional' resume – descriptive, fun to read, unique

to you and much more likely to land you an interview It's handy to have a 'tombstone' for certain occasions But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequited 'tombstone' lists,

preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read – a résumé that will make you come alive and look interesting to employers

Put yourself first: In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel

important about yourself

Tell what you can do, not who you are: Practice translating your personality traits, character,

accomplishments and achievements into skill areas in the world of work

Toot your own horn! Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities Some think they

have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket, an employer would beglad to punch of only you show it

Be specific, be concrete, and be brief !

Turn bad news into good: Everybody has had disappointments in work If you have to mention

yours, look for the positive side

Never apologize: If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply

write a short paragraph in place of a chronology of experience Don't apologize for

working at being a mother; it's the hardest job of all If you have no special training or higher

education, just don't mention education

How to psych yourself up: The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about yourself

Take

four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life that made you feel effective Study the list and try to spot patterns As you study your list you will come closer to the meaning: identifying your marketable skills Once you discover patterns give names to your cluster of accomplishments It may take four drafts or more, and several weeks, before you are ready to show it to a stranger for a reaction When you are satisfied, print it.

96 We list the schools we attended and the offices where we worked in

A a list of tips B a tombstone resume C a functional resume D an interview

97 The advantage of a functional résumé to a tombstone one is that

A it makes you feel important B it may help you look active and interesting to employers

C it shows all your achievements D it gives a short summary of you

98 Which of the followings is not the tip mentioned in the reading?

A be specific B never say sorry C feel important of yourself D tell who you are

99 We shouldn't apologize for working at being a mother because

A you have a special training B it is the hardest job

C the employer wouldn't listen to you D its not good to share experience

100.Before printing a resume, you should

A spend more days reading it B make a photocopy of it

C make a summary of the background D show it to a stranger for reaction
