A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows:‎ ‎ Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development. 21.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A.People remember well what they learned in childhood. B.Children have a better memory than grownups. C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D.Stories for children arc easy to remember. 22.The author explains the law of overlearning by______. A.making a comparison B.selling down general rules C.using examples D.presenting research findings 23.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Commonly accepted rules. B.The multiplication tables. C.Things easily forgotten. D.School subjects. 24.What is the author's opinion on cramming? A.It leads to failure in college exams. B.It's helpful only in a limited way. C.It's possible to result in poor memory. D.It increases students' learning interest.‎ B There are a number of reasons that can be given as to why children should be taught swimming at a young age. If your child knows the basic swimming skills, you can be at peace when your child is near the water. If you are in the process of teaching your child how to swim, then here are some points that you should keep in mind.‎ ‎＊Help your child pick a bathing suit. If your child wants to wear bathing suit and get wet then it is certain that your child will be able to handle the water.‎ ‎＊If the pool has steps, then it is great. Start from these to help your child gain some confidence. You should make sure that there is one place in the pool where your child can be left safely.‎ ‎＊The best way to teach your children to swim is to make them join swimming classes. In this way, you will be at peace because there is a professional trainer around your children who can teach them all the tricks of swimming. You can join in the parent-child lessons to make your child feel comfortable. If your child is a bit older, then get permission and sit by the pool to watch him/her learn. When you get your child admitted to swimming classes, make sure that the lessons go according to the swimming goals that you have set for your child.‎ Swimming is a fun activity and you can make it easy for your children to understand and coordinate(协）the movements of their arms and legs. That will take some time. But, with regular practice and training this can be overcome. So, start with the basics and be around your children when they are learning how to swim. Once they know how to swim, then you can be at peace when they play around the water.‎ ‎25. The pool with steps can make your children A. excited and calm B. confident and relaxed C. nervous and uneasy D. strange and unusual ‎26. According to the text the best way for children to learn swimming is to ________‎ A. train themselves with their skilled parents B. learn from morning till night without break C. join swimming classes with professional trainers ‎ D. get a chance to sit by the pool to watch trainers swim ‎27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ A. Teaching Your Children to Swim.‎ B. Gaining Experience of Swimming.‎ C. Learning to Swim with Your Child.‎ D. Swimming Can Make People Healthy.‎ C Fire Prevention Information The University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals.
