21、   You might be looking for new ways to improve your understanding of something you are studying. Perhaps you are trying to find better methods to remember important information. One way to help you reach these goals is to try teaching — not as a job, but as a way to improve your own learning.

Researchers have been interested in the link between teaching and learning for quite some time. Their findings suggested that teaching had a strong effect(影响) on understanding and learning. When students teach the content (内容) of a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material than from only preparing to teach.

Scientists have also explored the question of why teaching improves learning. A 2018 study suggests that teaching may help your learning because you have to remember the information you have learned as you continue to teach. Experts call this retrieval. The researchers wrote that “retrieval practice possibly causes the learning benefits from teaching.” Of course, retrieval may be one reason that teaching helps learning, there could be other reasons.

The good news is that there are many ways that you can improve your learning by teaching. One way might be to teach your family or friends about something that you are learning. For example, you could teach your parents about English grammar or vocabulary. You could also try teaching a younger person, perhaps a cousin, brother or sister. Try to make your lessons simple and clear, and ask them what they do not understand. The process of teaching and asking for feedback(反馈) will help you realize that you may not understand some things as well as you thought you did. That is an important, necessary step in the learning process. Another idea is to imagine yourself describing a lesson to someone, or to write the lesson down. In the Guardian newspaper, David Robson suggests that you could write an email describing what you have learned in great detail. A final idea for those who like technology: You could record video of yourself teaching information. You could then send the lesson to friends or put it on some other social media service.

Give teaching a try, it may improve your learning.

【1】The words “retrieval practice” in paragraph 3 probably mean _______.

A．writing down the answers

B．looking for the materials

C．exploring what you have taught

D．remembering what you have learned

【2】What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．Ideas for how to start teaching.

B．Ways on how to record the video.

C．Suggestions on making your lessons simple.

D．Benefits of describing something in details.

【3】What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To show us the importance of teaching by learning.

B．To encourage us to improve our learning by teaching.

C．To explain the differences between teaching and learning.

D．To tell us how to step in the learning process successfully.

22、   Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population(人口) is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no more think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

【1】How many people in the world are left-handed now?

A.Less than one sixth. B.More than a half.

C.About 40%. D.The passage doesn’t tell us.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

B.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

C.Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D.Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.

【3】The best title for this passage is _______

A.Scientists’ New Inventions B.Left-handed People

C.Which Hand D.Different Brains, Different Hand

23、Being a young man is one thing and being a good one is another. A good young man should have these qualities (品质). First of all, one must have a healthy body. A healthy body is the most important. If you are not very well in health, you’ll have to take medicine day after day. What’s worse, you can’t work, do sports and so on with a bad body. Second, always do something good for others. Help and care about the people around you. If everyone does something good every day, our world will become wonderful. Third, one must have the ability (能力) to work with others. Everyone needs friends because no one can live and do everything by himself.

Patriotism is also very important. Patriotism means love for one’s country. It’s one of the highest qualities of humans. Everyone should love our country.

I think a young man today should also know something about art. If everyone can enjoy art and is able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more.
