cassettes. Those are important to learning but sometimes a little bit boring. Therefore, it is time for us to
spice things up a bit.
Things like a cellphone can keep your interest level high. It"s a perfect study material. You have it with
you day after day, you are familiar with how it works and you can use it to practice whenever you have time.
You don"t need to have your books by your side or stay in your room to listen to tapes. Let"s take a look at
how to add your cellphone to your study tools.
Set up your cellphone to use the language you want to study. Go to the menu, find settings, locate
language and change it to English or Spanish, which benefits your language learning.
Look at the buttons and connect those items with the new vocabulary. This enables you to master simple
words and phrases with little effort. For example, each time you open up your cellphone you"ll see "messages",
"games" and "calls made". These words begin to take root if you see them again and again.
When you have time, take out your cellphone and start hitting buttons. You"ll be surprised at all the
vocabulary you can learn by playing with the different menu items. Some things you"ll recognize immediately
and others you can guess just by where you find them.
It can keep your learning fresh and interesting. And that"s important because boredom is a big problem
with language learners. You need variety and a cellphone is one way to get it.

regularly playing a musical instrument changes the shape and power of the brain, and may be used in therapy
(疗法) to improve cognitive (认知) skills.
Experts say there is growing evidence that musicians have brains that are structurally and functionally
different from those of non-musicians, especially in the areas of the brain used in processing (处理信息).
The parts of the brain that control motor skills, the storage of audio information, hearing and memory
become larger and more active when a person learns how to play an instrument and can apparently improve
the alertness (警觉) and planning.
Lutz Jancke, a psychologist at the University of Zurich, said, "Leaning to play a musical instrument has
great benefits and can increase IQ by seven points in both children and adults. We found that even people
over the age of 65, after four or five months of playing an instrument for an hour a week, had strong changes
in the brain." The parts of the brain that control hearing and memory, and the part that controls the hands,
among others, all become more active.
"Of course music isn"t the only answer, but I do believe that it should be used in addition to other things."
Mr. Jancke also said that learning a musical instrument could also make it easier to learn foreign languages
and make one more sensitive to understanding the emotions of others. "So not only does this make it easier to
pick up other languages and have a better memory of one"s own, we have also seen musicians are able to pick
out exactly what others are feeling just by the tones of their voices-sympathy, disappointment, that kind of
things."
He added, "Several studies indeed show that playing music increases memory and language skills, but
more research is needed."
B. How music affects the brain.
C. How playing music makes people smarter.
D. The development of research into music.
B. musicians are more active in sports
C. musicians have stronger emotions
D. musicians" brains work differently in processing
B. It allows one to show his feelings more exactly to others.
C. It gives one a better memory in one"s own language.
D. it makes one understand others" feelings better.
B. playing an instrument has no benefits for people over 65
C. some studies show playing music can increase memory
D. he will do more research into brain development and music
entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to
prove it.
Dios says it is the world"s first jumbo (unusually large) jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Sweden"s main
airport outside Stockholm which has been changed into a 25-room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72
people.
"I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlanda airport and I"ve been trying the concept
of hostels in many different houses and buildings," he told Reuters ."I thought, "Why not a plane?""
Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a
room that can best be described as comfortable."
"The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull (壳)-it"s just
really, really tight."
The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held
on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in steel cradles.
One feature of the hostel is its price-a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $ 41), which is a lot less
than hotel rooms outside of major airports.
Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the plane"s more
luxurious honeymoon suite (套房).
Instead of walking down the aisle in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the "wing
walk," where they can be joined in great happiness at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform
the ceremony.
But in some respects this hostel remains a plane-most customers have to share the jet"s nine bathrooms
and the staff only wear air host and hostess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the
honeymoon suite.
B. air hostesses can offer good service
C. a wedding ceremony can be held on the wing
D. the staff can have a"wing walk"
B. the jet plane was out of use for over six years
C. the hostel provides nine bathrooms for customers
D. every hostel room is $ 41 per night
B. tense
C. small
D. full
B. describe a wonderful place for weddings
C. prove people can sleep on a plane
D. call on people to make use of the deserted things
that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.
Now, scientists have shown that even though you"ve had an apparent memory lapse (丧失), your brain
never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association. For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys,
you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on
television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you"re heading out of the door to
buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were
all along. It just took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys
to figure out just how this complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary (任意的) pairs of symbols. The
researchers showed the monkeys one symbol (cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other
symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of
their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
"We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made the wrong choice, although it
apparently learned the right pairing of symbols," said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey"s inferior temporal cortex (ITC),
an area of its brain used for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due
to the choice behavior.
Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe
represent the monkey"s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire
even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
"In this sense, the cells "knew" more than the monkeys let on in their behavior," Albright said. "Thus,
behavior may vary, but knowledge endures."
B. memory and association
C. memory and television ads
D. memory and our daily life
B. Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C. Your brain remembers what you forget.
D. Monkeys have better memory than us.
B. had the worst memory
C. failed to see the objects well
D. had some trouble with its nerve system
B. increases
C. improves
D. remains
to as the "at" symbol.
Surprisingly though, there is no official, universal name for this sign. There are dozens of strange terms
to describe the "@" symbol.
Before it became the standard symbol for electronic mail, the "@" symbol was used to represent the cost
of something or how heavy something is. For instance, if you purchased 6 apples, you might write it as 6
apples "@" $1.10 each.
With the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the "@" symbol. The "@" symbol or the "at sign"
separates a person"s online user name from his mail server (服务器) address. For instance,
joe@uselessknowledge.com. Its widespread use on the Internet made it necessary to put this symbol on
keyboards in other countries that have never seen or used the symbol before. As a result, there is really no
official name for this symbol.
The actual origin of the symbol remains a mystery. History tells us that the @ symbol came from the
tired hands of the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages before the invention of printing machines, every
letter of a word had to be copied with great efforts by hand for each copy of a published book. The monks
that performed these long, boring coping duties looked for ways to reduce the number of individual strokes
(笔画) per word for common words. Although the word "at" is quite short to begin with, it was a common
enough word in text and documents so that those monks thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten
the word "at" even more. As a result, the monks changed the shape of "t" into a circle to surround "a", thus
leaving out two strokes in the spelling "t".
B. How @ came into being.
C. How monks invented @.
D. How people wrote the cost of something.
B. The monks wanted to be quicker and easier with their copying.
C. The monks wanted to invent a new word.
D. Copying work was long and boring for them.
B. Kittly 163.com @ is an email address.
C. In countries where @ is used, governments have given it an official name.
D. It is likely to find the @ symbol on computer keyboards worldwide.
B: Well, so far progress has been rather slow. I haven"t learned the keyboard yet, and I have problems
remembering all the orders of editing. I get really impatient because I want to master the means to
operate the computer as soon as possible.
A: Just remember that Rome wasn"t built in a day. Word processing (文字处理) can"t be such an easy
matter.
B: You"re right. Our teacher keeps telling us that it takes time to learn all the techniques (技巧) of word
processing and that we can"t master everything in one day.
A: That" s entirely true. But you"ll catch on. Just be patient and practise whenever you can.
