Have your parents ever inspected
your room to see if you cleaned it properly?
Imagine having your entire
houses, garage, and
yard inspected at any time -- with no warning.
Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse
(灯
塔) living, and a keeper's reputation
depended on results. A few times each year, an
inspector arrived to look over
the entire
light station. The inspections were supposed to be
a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance
notice.
Once lighthouses had telephones,
keepers would call each other to warn that the
inspector was approaching.
After boats began
flying special flags noting the inspector aboard,
the keeper's family made it a game to see who
could notice the boat first. As soon as
someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-
minute tidying and change
into fancy clothes.
The keeper then scurried to put on his dress
uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember
inspectors wearing white gloves to run their
fingers over door frames and windowsills looking
for dust.
Despite the serious nature of
inspections, they resulted in some funny moments.
Betty Byrnes remembered
when her mother did
not have time to wash all the dishes before an
inspection. At the time, people did not have
dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to
clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the
dishes into a big bread pan,
covered them with
a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the
inspector opened the oven door, it would look like
bread
was baking. he never did.
One day,
Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor
just before the inspector entered their house.
Like
floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny
and helped protect the wood. This time, though,
she used a little too much oil.
When the
inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's
mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface.
across that floor waving his arms like a young
bird attempting its first flight,
himself, he
shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection
continued as though nothing had happened.
66.
What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection
at the light station?
A. It was carried out
once a year.
B. It was often announced in
advance.
C. It was important for the keeper's
fame.
D. It was focused on the garage and
yard.

A. one of the

B. a warning call
reached the lighthouse
C. the keeper put on
the dress uniform and cap
D. the inspector
flew special flags in the distance

It was a hot June day and Sammy
couldn，t wait to get in the water.．The
teiryearoldwas on a camping trip at
McKinney
Falls State Park with his mom，Kelley，his dad，Sta-
cey，and his brothers，Ben，eight，and Willy，two.
Around 11 a. m.，Sammy，s mother and little brother
Ben dropped the family boat intoOnion Creek and
left.
Sammy and Wdly accompanied their dad to
Upper Falls. At the topof the waterfall，a stone
pathway runs across the
creek bed Below is a
swimming hole，20feet deep in some places.
With his father watching from the rocks
above，Sammy jumped in. He was a goodswimmer—he’d
been on the
swim team in his hometown of
Cypress，Texas. Sammyplayed in the water for a
while，eventually pulling himself out
of the
swimming hole andonto a warm stone and watching a
group of children tramp through the creek bed
above.
They were summer campers from Austin
who，along with their teachers，were headedback to
the visitors，parking
lot after a morning hike.
As the kids passed Stacey and Wil-1y，a tiny five-
year-old girl reached down to grab a water
bottle and lost her balance. In aninstant，she
was swept over the falls.
“A girl went
over the waterfall！”Stacey shouted Sammy caught a
glimpse of theGirl’s arm and the top of her
dark head as the rolling currents pushed her
into the hollowbeneath the rock ledge，hiding. her
from the crowd
above. She struggled in the
deep water. “I’m scared at this point，”Sammy says
now.
His father，with Willy under one
arm，walked toward the edge of the waterfall to
tryto locate the girl，but Sammy
was the one in
striking distance.“You have to get her out
ofthere！”Stacey yelled down to him. Sammy was
nervous，
but“my dad just looked at me， and I
understood what I had to do.’，
Years in
the Boy Scouts had taught Sammy never to enter a
dangerous situation with-out an exit strategy. The
ten-year-old took a few seconds to consider
the situation，andthen he dived in. In a few
seconds，he was next to the
struggling girl. He
asked her if shecould swim. When she said no，Sammy
carefully pulled her onto his back and
followed therock wall’s slick contours around
the edge of the waterfall toward the shore.
Soon，some-one threw a
swim float from the bank
and pulled both kids from the water.
Now a
seventh grader，Sammy admits，“When I got in the
water，I didn’t reallythink about the
consequences.”

Grown-ups are often surprised by
how well they remember something they learned as
children but have
never practiced still swim
as well as ever since. A man when he gets back who
has not had a chance to go
swimming for years
can 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 。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
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.
67. Who is the
main idea of paragraph I?
A. People remember
well what they learned in childhood.
B.
Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.
author explains the law of over learning
by_________.
A. presenting research findings
B. selling down general rules
C. making a
comparison D. using examples
69. According to
the author, being able to use multiplication
tables is_______.
A. a result of over
learning B. a special case of cramming
C. a
skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step
towards advanced studies
70. What does the
word
A. Commonly accepted rules. B. The
multiplication tables.
C. Things easily
forgotten. D. School subjects.
71. What is the
author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to
failure in college exams. B. It's helpful only in
a limited way.
C. It's possible to result in
poor memory. D. It increases students' learning
interest.
