When I was about 5 years old, the Santa Claus Parade came to town and passed within a block of our house. On that morning, my mother dressed me up and sent me out in the street with my 11-year-old sister as temporary guardian.
I was fascinated by the crowd. Vendors (小贩) sold popcorn, candy apples and hot chestnuts. Through the eyes of a child, the parade was larger than life with giant floats, marching bands, snowmen, elves and magical storybook creatures that captured my imagination.
I was attracted by the costumed children sitting on the floats-always waving to the crowd. Whoever they were, I knew I wanted to be one of them. I wanted to be in the parade. I wanted to wave as the entire city lined the streets to see me. This quickly became my ultimate fantasy in the following few years.
But I was also a realist. We were a family of modest means. There was no way my family could be able to find an entry point into the parade.
About 20 years later, I was able to see the parade again through my children’s eyes. To me, the parade was as magnificent as ever. I still loved the floats, but now I also enjoyed watching the costumed marchers and the bands.

Most of us learn how to ride ai bike during childhood. As we grow older, we put those once beloved bikes in storerooms. Years later, when we discover these relics and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking.
This is surprising because our memories let us down in so many other situations. For example, we always fail to remember the name of a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So why can we ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?
As it turns out, humans have different kinds of memories. Our long-term memory is divided into two types: declarative memory (陈述性记忆) and procedural memory.
There are two types of declarative memory. The first type is our memory of an event that happened. It can be the day we started school or a pleasant outing. Factual knowledge, on the other hand, such as the capital of France, belongs to the second type. These two types have one thing in common-you are aware of the knowledge and can communicate the memories to others.
Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bicycle are, however, fixed in a separate system, called procedural memory. As its name shows, this type of memory is responsible for performance.
So is procedural knowledge more enduring than declarative knowledge? Yes, studies show the former is less likely to be lost. Even with serious brain injury, the procedural memory system is hardly ever damaged. That’s because structures responsible for processing it are relatively protected in the brain’s center.
However, it’s not clear, beyond brain damage, why procedural memory contents are not as easily forgotten as declarative ones are. According to one idea, in the regions where movement patterns are made, fewer new nerve cells (神经细胞) may be formed in adults. Without big changes. It’s less likely for memories in these regions to get erased.
So, one thing we know for sure is simple patterns of movements we get, even far in the past, are typically kept for a lifetime. Or as the saying goes, it’s “just like riding a bicycle” 8.Which of the following are declarative knowledge? ①A poem. ① Swimming. ① A meeting. ①Running. A.①① C.①①
B.①① D.①①
9.What does “enduring” underlined in Para. 6 mean? A.Continuing for a very long time.
试卷第4页,共10页
B.Having a very great influence. C.Helping people in some way. D.Being difficult to keep.
10.Why are movement patterns less likely to disappear according to Para. 7? A.They are kept in a region without great changes. B.They are kept in a region that can’t be damaged. C.They are easier than other knowledge. D.They are practiced more often.
11.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Skills of an outstanding rider B.Different types of human memory C.Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike? D.How can we make memories last longer?
French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel committee, Ernaux was given the award “for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974), Shame (1997) and A Girl’s Story(2016).
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Ernaux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家) of herself” to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her “upbringing and experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood” inspire many of her works. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in plain language. Ernaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stories objectively, “unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions,” noted Fox News.

we are presenting the bad power to him/her. This is not, however, something we must be afraid of or we should avoid. When we create a bond of affection with another human being, we are automatically vulnerable to the actions that are produced by this person. Being aware of that, we would be better off if we take responsibility and accept the emotions that come up in our inner world instead of blaming the other for what we are feeling.
Provide support and encouragement. Friendships aren’t all fun and games — they do require you put in some work. Say they’ve just quarreled with their parents or failed an exam. It’s your job to be there for them and provide them with whatever they need, starting with support and comfort. 18 Whatever the case, make it apparent that you’re rooting for them.
Seek the good of the other person. When we love another person, we seek the good of the other because we gladden their own happiness. Therefore, our seeking for the other person’s good is totally disinterested. We serve the other without expecting anything in return. 19 Accept the differences. 20 . Friendship welcomes differences and integrates them into a level of union that accepts and goes beyond them. Friendship involves recognizing that the value of the relationship is beyond our personal traits and belief system.
A.Be honest with each other.
B.Acts of love are made for its own sake. C.Take responsibility of your own emotions.
D.Additionally, it’s your duty to give them encouragement as needed. E.Human beings are relational beings, as everything we find in the nature. F.Therefore, developing friendship with other people is essential in our lives.
G.Friendship doesn’t mean having the same interests, opinions and mindset as the other person.
