the sport at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract(合同).She came into Tokyo without a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuing her pursuits of triathlon(铁人三项).She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season.However,she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018,eventually taking a year off the bike.In 2019,Kiesenhofer came back to the sport as a rider,winning the Austrian national road race.Despite her results,Kiesenhofer sill had no professional contract while going into the Tokyo Olympics.Kiesenhofer was the first rider to attack in the Olympic road race,eventually forming a breakaway along with Carl Oberholzer,Omer Shapira,Vera Looser and Anna Plichta,which went on to reach a gap of 11 minutes.After Looser and Oberholzer were dropped,Kiesnhofer ataced her two remaining breakaway companions.After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the peloton(主车群),the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing among themselves for Gold,not knowing that Remehofere was still in front.While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes,other riders mistakes should not detract from the Austrians efforts.Off the bike the new Olympic Champion has a PhD in mathematics after studying at the Technical University of Vienne as well as at Cambridge University.She currently works at the University of Lausanne.4.Why did Anna give up triathlon?A.She got injured.B.She lost interest in it.C.She

rider.C.They had caught up with Anna.D.Anna took the lead of them.7.What is Annas present job?A.A cycling coach.B.A university teacher.C A professional rider.D.A college student.C We all use different ways to remember ideas,facts and things we need to store.Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience.Information process,storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesnt store everything we want or need for future use.It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern.Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they havent taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival.We forget much of what we read,watch,and think directly every day.”writes John Medina in his book,Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what youve learned?An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said:“Repetition is the mother of learning,the father of action,which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages.When you hear or read something once，you dont really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long.The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory.People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times.Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book,The Little Book of Talent:“.closing the book and writing a summary,even short ones,forces you to figure out the key points,process and organize those ideas so they make sense,and write them on the page.When you pick it back up weeks later,reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things.Better learning is a repetition process.Every time we repetitively access something we already know,we increase the memorys stored value.8.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.The brain tends to store 90%of the things we learn.B.The fresher the information isthe easier to remember.C.Thinking is more important than remembering in study.D.The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.9.How does the writer prove his opinion?A.By giving examples.B.By listing numbers.C.By borrowing words of experts.D.By providing scientific finding.10.What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?A.You cant pay too much attention to repetition.B.Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.C.Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.D.Regular repetition helps to form good habits.11.Which do you think is the best title of the passage?A.How the Brain Works B.Reading for More C.Fighting Against Forgetting D.Repeat to Remember D Dolores Huerta has worked hard most of her life to help other people.She has helped change things so that others can have a better life.Dolores grew up in California.She was a good student and liked school.After she finished high school,she went to college and studied to be a teacher.After
