My family lived in Triumph, Idaho, the USA an old mining town with a population of 33. All of the kids at my age were boys. People of all ages always looked out for me, but they also brought me some embarrassment.
I was born at home. The doctor overseeing my arrival was a family friend. Dad had then been a soldier serving in the navy and figured we should save some money.
At first, my parents didn't have a name for me. My name on my birth certificate still read Baby Girl. And that's what they called me until was almost 4. When they planned our first train trip to Mexico for vacation, we needed passports which made it easier to come up with a name. My father liked the sound of Picabo, an old Native American settlement in the south. My mother and father agreed on Pieabo.
As child, was afraid of the dark, but it was manageable. Another fear was the Rhode Island Red Each time I went out to the hen house to get eggs, he always pecked(啄) me as if I had stolen the eggs laid by his lover. I began carrying a stick to keep him away. However, he was always following me. Later we became good friends. I also liked playing hide-and-seek with him.
Our house was one of four that stood next to each other on an upper street in town. It was a one- story white cottage with no basement and no foundation，but Dad dug cellar地窖). All of our heat came from a wood-burning stove, where our food was cooked over an open flame. Both of my parents were great cooks.
4．Why did people in the town take care of the author?
A．she was the only girl of the same age. B．She was the daughter of a miner.
C．Her father was a doctor's friend. D．Her parents were living in the town.
5．Why did the parents decide to name the author?
A．To have the sound of Picabo. B．To go on foreign trip.
C．To make an agreement with each other D．To realize the author's wish.
6．What do we know about the Rhode Island Red?

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
8．The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A．introduce the main topic B．show the author’s attitude
C．describe how to use the Internet D．explain how to store information
9．What can we learn about the first experiment?
A．Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B．The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C．The first group did not try to remember the formation.
D．The second group did not understand the information.
10．In transactive memory, people ________.
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organize information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
11．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A．We are using memory differently.
B．We are becoming more intelligent.
C．We have poorer memories than before.
D．We need a better way to access information.
A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she suffered severely by self-criticism.
This student, like many I teach, strongly believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. In her mind, “Nothing can stop me but myself”. So when these students fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are filled with self-blame, reasoning, “If my accomplishments are mine to control, my failures must be entirely my faults, too”, which makes it extremely difficult for them to move on.
We often owe young adults struggling with failure to their parents’ overprotection of them from discomfort. But there is another factor at play: a message transmitted by indulging (纵容的) parents who have falsely promised them that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. However, the cruel reality of life is that you can do everything in your power — and still fail. Then what should be done to help?
Psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. Besides, instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we might all question a culture where one is considered lazy without full devotion. The point is to remind them that life has a way of sucker-punching (出其不意) us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.
12．What does the underlined phrase “by virtue of” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．in addition to B．in spite of C．by means of D．for fear of
13．The author believes that young adults find it hard to struggle with failure because __________.
A．they are not taught how to deal with difficulties
B．they are short of the ability to handle failure
C．they are under the protection of their parents
D．they are misled by their parents’ false message
14．What did psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to do?
A．To teach students how to avoid faults.
B．To lead students to set their truly loved goals.
C．To help students to discover a path to success.
D．To allow kids to blame themselves.
15．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Students don’t care about failure at all.
B．Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.
C．Students should bear all the failures on their own.
D．Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.

这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了很多学生因为一些失败而自我批评，但现在年轻人很难与失败作斗争是因为其父母对他们的过度保护。心理学家认为老师和家长应该帮助他们找到自身的目标，对世界造成影响，这样可以提高他们生活的满意度并使得他们心理上变得更成熟。
12．词义猜测题。第二段第2句提到“In her mind, “Nothing can stop me but myself”.”这名学生认为没有什么能够阻止自己除了她自己之外。换句话说，这名学生觉得自己可以通过自己的努力掌握自己的结果。由此推知，划线词组by virtue of 意为“通过”。A. in addition to除……之外；B. in spite of尽管，不顾；C. by means of通过；D. for fear of以免，以防。故选C。

But there is another factor at play: a message transmitted by indulging (纵容的) parents who have falsely promised them that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.”通常情况下我们把年轻人和失败作斗争归因为父母对他们的过度保护，更主要的原因是因为父母的纵容让年轻人以为只要愿意为之奋斗就能取得成就。由此可知，现在的年轻人很难与失败作斗争，因为他们被父母的错误信息误导了。故选D。

本文就几个方面给读者提出了几条建议来建议人们为自己营造假期氛围，享受生活。
16．由本段标题和第一句可知，由于摆脱了每天的压力和紧张，假期给我们的感觉很好。研究甚至表明，假期有助于健康和幸福。该句与上一句构成递进关系，故选项F符合语境。
17．本段第一句为设问句，“当你在度假的时候睡得像个婴儿一样，但当你在你的日常生活中保持清醒？”因此该空作为答语，如果是这样，你可能需要检查你的睡眠习惯。故选C。

19．本句为标题句。根据本段段意可知，为了减少焦虑、抑郁和肥胖，要养成和家人一起坐下来，每天至少吃一顿饭的假日习惯。故“让吃饭成为一种庆祝”符合题意，故选A。
20．根据本段标题句：在自己的城市做一名游客。由上下文逻辑可知，本句与上一句构成转折关系，进入正题，选项E中to be a holidaymaker in the place you live与主题呼应，故选E。
【点睛】
七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇和逻辑呼应关系来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词、动词、形容词和副词等，然后在选项中查找与它们相对应的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第1小题中的“even”与前一句为递进关系，第2小题中的“If so”与前一句设问，第3小题中的“walk around… cities”与下一句的“that exercise”，第5小题中的but与前一句Part of toe thrill of a holiday is the novelty of discovering a new place and doing new things.的转折，另外“to be a holidaymaker in the place you live”与本段标题Be a tourist in your own city，均有呼应关系。
