I read in a book that we have a s_____1____ memory and a l____2_____ memory. When people get old, their short-term memory becomes weaker, but they can still remember things that happened a long time ago.
My grandad told me a joke about memory. He said, ‘When you get old, three things start to go w____3_____.
First, you start to lose your memory. And I can't remember what the other two things are!’
JOYCE
Memory is e____4_____ for life. I saw a programme on television about a man who had had an accident and i____5_____ his brain. A____6_____, he could not remember anything for longer than a few minutes.
His wife visited him in hospital every day, but he forgot her visits a few minutes after she left. He was often a____7_____ with her because he thought that she never visited him. It was very sad.
PANSY
One b_____8____ way of improving your memory is to use the link m____9_____. If you want to m____10_____ something, you should make a picture in your m_____11____. If the picture is silly, strange and c____12_____, you will remember it better. For example, I am trying to remember the word 'smiles'. An easy way to do this is to imagine there is a 'mile’ between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world!

In the Guinness Book of Records, we can find some amazing stories about memory. For example, Gou Yanling from Harbin in China has memorized more than 15,000 telephone numbers, And Dave Farrow from America
remembered the correct order of 2,704 playing cards, after seeing them just once.
MLIE
Memory is connected with our feelings. For example, if someone says ‘This is a spider’, and then puts a large spider on your hand, you will probably remember the word 'spider’! When something d____13_____ happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing. For example, most people in China can remember where they were when the opening c____14_____ of the 29th Olympic Games was held in Beijing in 2008.

10. stop sb (from) doing sth. 阻止某人做某事

重点句型：
1. Making pictures in your mind helps you remember things.
Learning a new skill helps your brain develop.
making pictures in your mind 和 learning a new skill均为动名词短语作主语；
动名词作主语，是把事件名词化，强调事件内容，不强调事件动作；
动名词作主语，谓语用单数。
2. When people get old, their short-term memory becomes weaker, but they can still remember things that happened a long time ago.
(1)此句中，when引导时间状语从句
(2)get old 中的get, 以及下文go wrong中的go, 都属于变化系动词，意为“变得”，其后加形容词作表语。类似的动词还有turn, become. 如：
He became very angry. 他变得很生气。
It’s getting dark. 天变黑了。
Her love turned into hate. 她的爱变成了恨。
(3)另外，该句中...that happened a long time ago为定语从句，that为定语从句的引导词。
【知识拓展】在复合句中作定语，修饰主句中某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词，通常位于定语从句之前。引导定语从句的是关系代词that，which，who( whom，whose)和关系副词when，where，why。关系代词或关系副词位于先行词和定语从句之间，它既起联系作用，又充当从句中的一个成分。定语从句的基本结构为：先行词+关系词+定语从句。如：
Do you know the girl who/that is standing under a tree? 你知道站在树下的女孩是谁吗？
She got a computer which／that her parents bought for her. 她有一台父母买给她的电脑。
The boy whose father is a doctor studies very hard. 他爸爸是位医生的那个男孩学习非常刻苦。
The classroom whose window is open is mine. 开着窗户的那个教室是我的教室。
I still remember the day when you leave for Beijing. 我仍然记得你去北京的那一天。

Could you explain the reason why you were late? 你能解释一下你迟到的原因吗？
3. If you want to memorize something, you should make a picture in your mind.
If the picture is silly, strange and colorful, you will remember it better.
If someone says…, you will…
画线部分是由if引导的条件状语从句，时态为一般现在时，而主句则使用一般将来时，即主将从现。
e. g. If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay at home. 如果明天下雨，我将呆在家里。
If you feel cold, put on the warm coat. 如果你感到冷，穿上这件暖和的外套。
如表示自然规律，客观事实，主句和从句都为一般现在时。
e. g. If you take a fish out of water, it dies. 如果你让鱼离开水，它会死去。
4. A easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the first letter and the last letter.
此句主干为：way is to imagine...
这句话中有两个不定式短语，但它们起的作用不同。
a easy way (to do this)中的to do this为不定式作定语，修饰限定way
is to imagine...中的to imagine... 为不定式作表语
there is a ‘mile’ between... 该部分是作imagine 的宾语从句，省略了引导词that.
所以该句句型为：主+系+表
5. This makes it the longest word in the world.
该句中，宾语it指代的是单词“smile”；the longest word 是宾语补足语，补充宾语的性质特征；
in the world 是一个地点状语，强调范围。
6. People usually make an apology for doing something wrong or causing a problem.
掌握apologize to sb. for sth./doing sth.句型

Hanukkan(光明节), the annual(每年的) Festival of Lights, is celebrated with zeal(热情) by the Jewish people around the world. They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah(多连灯烛台), traditional foods, games and gifts. Hanukkan is a Jewish festival. It falls on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev(犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion(宗教). When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem(耶路撒冷), they found there was only enough holy(神圣的) oil to keep the sacred light (神圣之灯)burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.
At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food. Hanukah is a relatively minor holiday in the Jewish year, however, the Hanukkah story tells of Jewish culture surviving in a non-Jewish world.

The big red double-decker bus could certainly be the best-known symbol of London. The idea of the “double-decker” is __50__ much older than the motor bus.

Suddenly, bus companies found they could no longer buy any more of their favorite Routemasters, because the country’s Ministry of Transportation（运输部）decided that it would only give financial（财政的）help to bus companies that bought new buses with doors.

重点句型：
1. Making pictures in your mind helps you remember things.
Learning a new skill helps your brain develop.
making pictures in your mind 和 learning a new skill均为动名词短语作主语；
动名词作主语，是把事件名词化，强调事件内容，不强调事件动作；
动名词作主语，谓语用单数。
2. When people get old, their short-term memory becomes weaker, but they can still remember things that happened a long time ago.
(1)此句中，when引导时间状语从句
(2)get old 中的get, 以及下文go wrong中的go, 都属于变化系动词，意为“变得”，其后加形容词作表语。类似的动词还有turn, become. 如：
He became very angry. 他变得很生气。
It’s getting dark. 天变黑了。
Her love turned into hate. 她的爱变成了恨。
(3)另外，该句中...that happened a long time ago为定语从句，that为定语从句的引导词。
【知识拓展】在复合句中作定语，修饰主句中某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词，通常位于定语从句之前。引导定语从句的是关系代词that，which，who( whom，whose)和关系副词when，where，why。关系代词或关系副词位于先行词和定语从句之间，它既起联系作用，又充当从句中的一个成分。定语从句的基本结构为：先行词+关系词+定语从句。如：
Do you know the girl who/that is standing under a tree? 你知道站在树下的女孩是谁吗？
She got a computer which／that her parents bought for her. 她有一台父母买给她的电脑。
The boy whose father is a doctor studies very hard. 他爸爸是位医生的那个男孩学习非常刻苦。
The classroom whose window is open is mine. 开着窗户的那个教室是我的教室。

3. If you want to memorize something, you should make a picture in your mind.
If the picture is silly, strange and colorful, you will remember it better.
If someone says…, you will…
画线部分是由if引导的条件状语从句，时态为一般现在时，而主句则使用一般将来时，即主将从现。
e. g. If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay at home. 如果明天下雨，我将呆在家里。
If you feel cold, put on the warm coat. 如果你感到冷，穿上这件暖和的外套。
如表示自然规律，客观事实，主句和从句都为一般现在时。
e. g. If you take a fish out of water, it dies. 如果你让鱼离开水，它会死去。
4. A easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the first letter and the last letter.
此句主干为：way is to imagine...
这句话中有两个不定式短语，但它们起的作用不同。
a easy way (to do this)中的to do this为不定式作定语，修饰限定way
is to imagine...中的to imagine... 为不定式作表语
there is a ‘mile’ between... 该部分是作imagine 的宾语从句，省略了引导词that.
所以该句句型为：主+系+表
5. This makes it the longest word in the world.
该句中，宾语it指代的是单词“smile”；the longest word 是宾语补足语，补充宾语的性质特征；
in the world 是一个地点状语，强调范围。
6. People usually make an apology for doing something wrong or causing a problem.
掌握apologize to sb. for sth./doing sth.句型

Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)
A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)
Hanukkan(光明节), the annual(每年的) Festival of Lights, is celebrated with zeal(热情) by the Jewish people around the world. They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah(多连灯烛台), traditional foods, games and gifts. Hanukkan is a Jewish festival. It falls on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev(犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion(宗教). When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem(耶路撒冷), they found there was only enough holy(神圣的) oil to keep the sacred light (神圣之灯)burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.
At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food. Hanukah is a relatively minor holiday in the Jewish year, however, the Hanukkah story tells of Jewish culture surviving in a non-Jewish world.
69. For how many days does Hanukkah last?
A.7 B. 10 C. 9 D. 8
70. According to the passage, what is necessary when celebrating Hanukkah nowadays?
A. Oil B. Candles C. Money D. Cards

B. the emperor didn’t allow them to practice their own tradition and religions.
C. the emperor didn’t let them celebrate their own festivals.
