From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).
The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
People now can break over 1000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76mm tall.
☆ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails(指甲).They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.
We can see everything in the Guinness Book of Records except         .

A.the heaviest fruits and vegetables B.the smallest people and animals
C.the strangest people and things D.very ordinary people and things

The Guinness Book of Records has been one of the best selling books for           .

A.50 years B.76 years C.600 years D.1000 years

Newport thought many people tried to break Guinness records because       .

A.their names be kept in the world records.
B.their names could be seen by the whole world.
C.they could meet more people all over the world.
D.they could be known as the greatest by the world.

Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A.Newport started the Guinness Book of Records in Britain.
B.More than four thousand records are broken each month.

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

Would you like to adopt an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.
Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that.
Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him.

根据短文内容,完成下列各题(每小题2分,满分10分)
Children are amazing! They pick up language so naturally and easily. Have you ever wondered why? It’s because of the way they learn.
Children learn by simply doing what comes naturally—they listen, copy, and communicate. Let’s take a closer look at how children learn language. Perhaps we can discover a better, more “natural” way to learn English.
Listen as often as possible
When people talk to children, they often use simple words that children can understand. That’s really important to the children’s language development. In order to learn, children must be able to understand what they hear. If they don’t understand it, it’s just meaningless noise.
Listen to radio or TV programs that use English at your level. If you can’t understand every word or sentence, don’t give up. Just pay attention to what you can understand. And listen as often as you can.
Be a Copycat
Children like to copy their parents, their friends and even the TV. (the, teaches, this, how, pronounce, them, language, to). As you listen to English, repeat what you hear as much as you can.
Use English to communicate
Children don’t practice grammar rules. They use language to talk about things that interest them. This helps them learn to express themselves. They don’t worry about their small vocabulary or poor grammar. They find ways to say what they want and they do it successfully.
So look for chances to talk with people in English. If you can’t find a foreigner to talk to, talk with other English students instead. Start an English discussion group and chat about music, movies and so on. Don’t worry about making mistakes. You can learn English better by correcting mistakes.
Children learn English by __________ copying and communicating.
请把文中画线的句子“When people talk to children, they often use simple words that children can understand.”译成汉语。
__________________________________________________________________________.
请把文中括号内的词组成一个句子。
请写出文中画线词 “This” 所指代的句子。
