We all know stories about people with exceptional memories who have the possibility to remember hundred of numbers after hearing them only once. Now experts are saying that such feats can be taught.
For example, almost people can repeat about nine numbers if they are read out slowly.
In one experiment, ten hours’ training producing only a small improvement, but the result after practicing for a thousand hours was amazing: some people remembered 80 and even 100 numbers. Similarly, a number of adults can identify only about five out a set of 21 colours what are only slightly different. But after 80 training hours one person could recognize 18 of theirs. Studies of 76 major composers show that it took at least ten years of musical training before any of them wrote a major work. Psychologists are therefore rising the possibility that genius is the production of teaching.

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing one answer A, B, C or D only.
Long-haul flights have just got longer, with a non-stop flight from Singapore to New York now in operation. But 18 hours in the air creates its own challenges. A lot of preparation goes into the ultra long-haul flight. The air craft is specifically designed for the journey with more space and extensive entertainment services. The flight crews are also specially trained.
The seasoned traveler is also more aware of the health risks associated with a flight that covers as much as 16.600 km (10.310 miles) in distance. Exposure to lower oxygen levels for up to 18, maybe 20, hours is abnormal for the human body. With deep vein thrombosis (DVT) the problem really starts occurring after 12 hours (in-flight). This could lead to an increase in heart attack.
Doctors believe that prevention is better than cure when it comes to in-flight health. Passengers on ultra long-range flights need to be provided with flight socks and, if necessary, tablets for thinning the blood. It is not just the health and vitality of the passenger that is at stake on a flight of this length, but also that of the flight crew. “They give us training on fatigue management and how to adjust to the local time in New York and to exercise, as well as take care of our diet and eat lightly in-flight,” says Linda Wu, a stewardess on Singapore Airlines.
However, passengers are trading in health concerns for convenience. An extra-long flight means passengers do not need to break up their journey and change planes. “They like to board once, de-plane once. It is saving time,” says James Williams from Singapore Airlines. “From Los Angeles to Singapore, passengers are saving two and a half hours. And to New York passengers are saving up to four hours in flying time.”
Thai Airways is also launching a non-stop service to New York from Bangkok next June to compete with Singapore Airlines. It is planning a similar service to Chicago, Cathay Pacific, Continental, Qantas and Emirates Airlines also offer flights that are more than 14 hours in duration. However, there is still a question of whether longer non-stop flight will become popular.
“They will certainly have a role in the future of aviation, there is no doubt about it. People will prefer to fly non-stop if it is available,” says Chris Johnson, an airline analyst. “But we are reaching the limits. These markets are at the very margin of aviation. Most airlines still fly in the eight to 12-hour sector. This is still where the biggest volume in traffic is.”
Avery believes that geography will determine the demand for the ultra long-haul flight and that worldwide appeal for this type of flight is unlikely. “Asia is where the demand is for the ultra long-haul flight. They are connecting Asian cities to the U.S. East Coast, which is the big market,” he explains. “The routes that connect most places that European business travelers go do not need a capacity and endurance to fly 18 hours – this is the same for U.S. carriers.”
1. Why are longer flights potentially harmful to passengers and crew?
A. Because there isn’t as much oxygen in the air.
B. People will get bored more easily.
C. Long periods of inactivity will damage their bones.
2. What are flight socks?
A. Special socks to keep the plane free of harmful bacteria
B. One of the preventive measures planned by airlines
C. Socks that stop your blood getting too thin

1..................................
Ice skating has a history of thousands of years. Archaeologists have discovered skates made from animal bone. It seems that bone skates were used until the introduction of iron into Scandinavia about the year 200 AD. Among the Scandinavian upper classes, skating was seen as an essential skill.
2. ..................................
In the early twentieth century, skating was stylish and reserved, but at the 1924 Winter Olympics, 11-year-old Sonja Hinnies introduced a more athletics attitude which inspired a new wave of popularity. Nowadays art and athletics are combined and modern skating is both graceful and physically demanding.
3. ..................................
For beginners, balance and control are all important and speed can only increase with proficiency. The position of your body plays a great part in balance. Legs slightly bowed and the knees bent keep the body weight centered; in effect the body leans slightly forward in this position. For skating, probably more than any other sport or recreation, relaxation is vital.
4. ..................................
For the skating position, the heels should almost be touching and the feet should be turned out wards. While pushing toward with a back foot, you make a very small movement with the other foot. Fairly easy, isn't it? If you can keep this up for a while, you can then slowly increase the length of your movements as you gain experience.
5. ..................................
Knowing how to fall must be learnt among the skater's first skills. Even the best of the professionals fall. In order to fall without injury, you should be as relaxed as possible. In this way the sock of hitting the ice is lessened. To get up, use your hands to get into a kneeling position, then stand.
6. ..................................
One you have learnt to move on the ice with confidence, there are various styles to be practised-figure skating, free styles, distance, speed, skating pairs, and so on- but the basics of them all, and by far the best approach, it first to learn figures can soon be learn figure skating and then elementary freestyle. With proper guidance available at most of the ice rinks, the basic figures can soon be learnt and the turns, jumps, and spins or elementary free style will so follow.
7. ..................................
If you look at any good of professional skater, you will see how relaxed they are and how easily they move. To achieve this, an exercise program should be regularly practised. It can be dangerous to skate with a stiff body and warm up exercises should at least include those for the legs, back and shoulders, with special emphasis on the ankles and the knees. After a long or intense session, the same exercises should be used afterwards to avoid stiffness.
