Use your parking space

An unused parking space or garage (车库) can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport,

you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement( 广告 ) for free on Letpark or

Atmyhousepark.

Rent a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger ( 房客 ) earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-

backed "rent a room” program, you won't have to pay any tax (税) on the first £4,500 you make per year, Try

advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommatecasy.

Make money during special events

Don't want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital renting a room

out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film

production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens

of online companies that allow you to register your home for free but you will be charged if your home gets

picked.

Use your roof(屋顶)

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy ( 能源 ) companies pay the cost of fixing solar

equipment (太阳能设备) (around £14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they

get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement

with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course

so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in

typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, “the very last thing l ever thought about doing was taking a

typing course, she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently,

when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring ( 忽视) her mom, "I don't know how to

use a computer,” she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award winning actress

and more about living with diabetes ( 糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile

Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was

a need for a book like this," she says. "I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things

get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”

But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day almost 40

years ago, when she received two pieces of life changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying,

and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a

box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up——again——and take

control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit,

overcome her addiction to alcohol and begin to follow a balanced (平衡的) diet.

Although her disease has affected (影响) her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor,

she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, why me?” about something or other,” she

insists. “It doesn't do any good. No one is immune ( 免疫的 ) to heartache, pain, and disappointments.

Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've

grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”

4. Why did Mary feel regretful?

A. She didn't take care of her mother

B. She didn't complete her high school.

C. She didn't follow her mother's advice

D. She didn't realize her dream.

5. Mary’s second book is Manny about her________.

A. service for an organization B. remembrance of her mother

C. successful show business D. living with diabetes

6. When Mary received the life-changing news, she _________.

A. behaved in an adult way B. lost control of herself

C. began a balanced diet D. try to get a treatment

7. What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.

B. Mary decides to go back to the dance floor.

C. Mary has got well again.

D. Merrifield pity for herself.

A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform ( 表现) better on exams

than those who use laptops (笔记本电脑).

Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility( 清晰度). But the

research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts ( 概念 ) they have been

taught.

Researchers did experiment that aimed（旨在）to find out whether using a laptop increased the tenancy

to make nose mindlessly by taking down word for word what the professor said.

In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same

lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined

on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.

The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However,

the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it

came to memorizing facts.

The researchers' report said, “While more notes are beneficial (有益的), if the notes are taken mindlessly,

as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears."

In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a

week after the lecture. This time. the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the

exam.

These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and

understanding, but that they also lead to better revision in the future.

8. More and more students prefer laptops for note-taking because they can_______.

A. understand lectures better

B. get higher scores

C. apply concepts better

D. write more notes

9. The writer of the passage aims to _________.

A. encourage the use of laptops

B. explain the strategies of taking notes

C. stress the benefits of taking those by hand

D. examine the importance of long-term memory

10. The passage is likely to appear in __________.

A. a computer textbook

B. a science magazine
