    In Chinese culture, people believe some numbers are lucky or unlucky. This is to see what Chinese character the number sounds like. For example, the Chinese word for the number 8 sounds like the word for “making a fortune”. So, people think it is a very lucky number. Some people spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers. The opening time of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.

    The number 9 is also a lucky number. It is something to do with the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors' robes(龙袍). Today, 9 often stands for “long lasting”. That's why close friends always use 99 or 999 to describe their friendship.

    So what's a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number. Because it sounds like the Chinese character for “death”.

    Because of this, many buildings don't have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even don't have all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4、14、24、34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also don't have the 13th floor as 13 is an unlucky number in the West. Now a question for you: How many floors are actually there if a building's highest floor is numbered 50?

The sun is setting,brightening your kids' faces as they play in the waves.You reach for your phone for this perfect moment.But before you do,here's a bit of surprising science:Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.

Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain's ability to keep memories,says Elizabeth Loftus,a psychology professor at the University of California

Photos may outsource memories.It works in two ways:We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures,or we're so distracted(分心的)by the process that we miss the moment altogether.

The first explanation is the loss of memory.People know that their camera is recording that moment,so they don't try to remember.Similarly,if you write down someone's phone number(不假思索地)because your brain tells you there's just no need.That's all well and good — until that piece of paper goes missing.

The other is distraction.We're distracted by the process of taking a photo — how we hold our phone,composing the photo,such as smiling faces,all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.

However,taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully.While taking a photo may be distracting,the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides.

When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things,memories become strengthened.

Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos.Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences.Thus,photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.

Memories die away without a visual record backing them up.Therefore,a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully,which is worth exploring further.

 根据短文内容及首字母提示, 填写所缺单词, 使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

The chrysanthemum(菊花)is a very popular flower in China. The beautiful flower bas many m{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in Chinese culture. 

The chrysanthemum is k{#blank#}2{#/blank#} as one of the "Four Gentlemen in Plants". The other three are the plum blossom, the orchid, and bamboo. In the past, they stood for noble (高尚的)qualities. 

The chrysanthemum comes out in bright colors during cold a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} days when most flowers die. They are beautiful, strong and tough. The flower thus greatly inspired (启 发)ancient Chinese poets. They spoke highly of its beauty and also used the chrysanthemum to represent(代表)their o{#blank#}4{#/blank#}in their works. 

Tao Yuanming was a f{#blank#}5{#/blank#} poet. He once wrote a poem about living as a hermit(隐士) . He described how he loved the chrysanthemum and used it to show his s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the poem. 

"I pluck chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, and gaze afar toward the southern mountains(采菊东篱下, 悠然见南山), "Tao wrote in his poem. Since then, the chrysanthemum has become the s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} of the hermit. But the chrysanthemum is not only found in Chinese poems. It is also p{#blank#}8{#/blank#} of Chinese food. 

The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar year. On that day, drinking wine made from chrysanthemums is a popular tradition. Chrysanthemum tea is also usually seen on Chinese dinner tables. It tastes great. People believe it is good for one's health, e{#blank#}9{#/blank#} for eyes. 

In a word, the chrysanthemum has i{#blank#}10{#/blank#}people's life deeply and widely. 

 根据短文内容,从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一项为多余选项。

Learning methods (方法) are really important for everyday learning or studying for tests. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Drawing mind maps helps a lot. Mind maps can help you remember what you have learned easily and quickly. How to draw a mind map? For example, find a topic (主题) you learn about firstly. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} This can be helpful and you can have a try.

Explaining (解释) to others is win-win. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Sometimes you may find it easier to learn something when you explain it to others. This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you first need to understand it well and then to use the right words to explain it.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} This method means that experiencing things in real life is better than reading things in books. Doing things by yourselves makes your brain more active. So you will remember and learn more easily.

Taking tests is also helpful. Some people enjoy taking tests because they think that can give them a strong will to be successful. If you're the kind of person, you can try asking your teachers, parents or classmates to set an exam. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Enjoy using the ways above and you are sure to learn faster and do better in your study!

A. It's a good way to improve yourself and others.

B. Learning by doing can make you understand better.

C. Through the way, you can know how much you've learned.

D. Studying by yourself is a good idea to improve yourselves.

E. Here are some common but useful learning methods for you.

F. Then, with the topic in the middle, write down some key information around it.
