On my way home, I saw a poor old man selling soaps. I was moved by his condition—perhaps he was the only one his family? But I soon shook off the —there’s nothing I can really do for him. Just then, a lady went up and bought every bar of soap he was carrying. The old man’s eyes lit up and he left happily.
The woman, on the other hand, crossed the road and
the bag full of soaps on the street with a sign saying “For Free”. Then she boarded the same bus as I did and took the seat next to mine. The curious incident me so I couldn’t help but ask her about the strange act. “Excuse me, may I ask why you did that near the bus stop?” I said.
“Oh, I walk this road every day and noticed this man many times. I tried to offer him some money but he
. He said he wanted to earn it through hard work and not . He’s a very honest man. He was content with whatever he earned for the day.

Part VII Reading Comprehension (2×5)
Directions: The passage is followed by 5 questions or incomplete sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. 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 over learning, 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 over learn.
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 over learn in childhood.
The law of over learning 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 over learning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
