SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： The question of whether dogs have a sense of humor is often fiercely argued. My own opinion is that some have and some haven't. Dachshunds have, but not St Bernards or Great Danes. Apparently a dog has to be small to be fond of joke. You never find a Great Dane trying to be a comedian.

But it is fatal to let any dog know that he is funny, for he immediately loses his head and starts overdoing it. As an example of this I would point to Rudolph, a Dachshund I once owned, whose slogan was "Anything for a Laugh". Dachshunds are always the worst offenders in this respect because of peculiar shape. It is only natural that when a dog finds that his mere appearance makes the viewing public laugh, he should imagine that Nature intended him to be a comedian.

Sometimes Rudolph overplays his sense of humor, a typical example of which is he once stole ducks from a farm nearby and brought complaints on me. It is true that Dachshunds and other dogs have their faults, but they seem unimportant compared with their virtues.

According to the narrator, which kind of dogs is thought to have a sense of humor？

A．St Bernards.

B．Great Danes.

C．Dachshunds.

D．Shepherd dogs.

Techniques to Help Us Remember Better

We all have problems remembering things, but there are some techniques that you can use to help you remember.

First of all, remember the names and jobs of the people and where they come from. ______【46】. And you should try to think of funny images as they are easier to remember. For example, we have Tom—the student from Australia. Well, for Tom you might imagine a tomato. Then Australia has a shape a bit like a dog. ______【47】. So imagine Tom's face as a tomato and he's with a dog and the dog is reading a book. So now we have a picture of Tom the student from Australia.

Now let's take the numbers. The best thing to do here is to break a large number up into smaller numbers and then think of things that the numbers remind you of, such as a birthday, a particular year, the number of a house. ______【48】.

With the directions, the best thing is to imagine you yourself following the directions.

______【49】. Count the turnings 1, 2. . . Then turn left. Now imagine going past a supermarket and a cinema and so on.

When you have to remember lists of words, try to build them into a story. So with our words we might start with, "The sun was shining, so I went for a walk. I saw a horse wearing trousers. It was kicking some bananas over a television. The bananas landed in a bag. " And so on. ______【50】. Try some of these techniques and you'll be amazed at what you can remember.

A. We cannot remember the same as we can do before we get old

B. Now let's imagine it's a very clever dog and is studying

C. Create a picture in your mind of yourself going down the street

D. Here, the best thing is to imagine images of the people and the names that you want to remember

E. Again the funnier the story, the better

F. Or with a number like 747 you might think of a jumbo jet—a Boeing 747
