Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Variability is crucially important for learning new skills. Consider learning how to serve in tennis. Should you always practise serving from the exactly same location on the court, aiming at the same spot? Although practising in more variable conditions will be slower at first, it will likely make you a better tennis player in the end. This is because variability leads to better generalisation of what is learned.This principle is found in many domains, including speech perception and learning categories. For instance, infants will struggle to learn the category "dog" if they are only exposed to Chihuahuas, instead of many different kinds of dogs."There are over ten different names for this basic principle," says Limor Raviv, the senior investigator of a recent study. "Learning from less variable input is often fast, but may fail to generalise to new stimuli."To identify key patterns and understand the underlying principles of variability effects, Raviv and her colleagues reviewed over 150 studies on variability and generalisation across fields, including computer science, linguistics, categorisation, visual perception and formal education.The researchers discovered that, across studies, the term variability can refer to at least four different kinds of variability, such as set size and scheduling. "These four kinds of variability have never been directly compared — which means that we currently don't know which is most effective for learning," says Raviv.The impact of variability depends on whether it is relevant to the task or not. But according to the "Mr. Miyagi principle", practising seemingly unrelated skills may actually benefit learning of other skills.But why does variability impact learning and generalisation? One theory is that more variable input can highlight which aspects of a task are relevant and which are not.Another theory is that greater variability leads to broader generalisations. This is because variability will represent the real world better, including atypical (非典型的) examples.A third reason has to do with the way memory works: when training is variable, learners are forced to actively reconstruct their memories."Understanding the impact of variability is important for literally every aspect of our daily life. Beyond affecting the way we learn language, motor skills, and categories, it even has an impact on our social lives," explains Raviv. "For example, face recognition is affected by whether people grew up in a small community or in a larger community. Exposure to fewer faces during childhood is associated with diminished face memory.""We hope this work will spark people's curiosity and generate more work on the topic," concludes Raviv. "Our paper raises a lot of open questions. Can we find similar effects of variability beyond the brain, for instance, in the immune system?"51. What does the passage say about infants learning the category "dog" if they are exposed to Chihuahuas only?A. They will encounter some degree of difficulty.B. They will try to categorise other objects first.C. They will prefer Chihuahuas to other dog species.D. They will imagine Chihuahuas in various conditions.52. What does Raviv say about the four different kinds of variability?A. Which of them is most relevant to the task at hand is to be confirmed.B. Why they have an impact on learning is far from being understood.C. Why they have never been directly compared remains a mystery.D. Which of them is most conducive to learning is yet to be identified.53. How does one of the theories explain the importance of variability for learning new skills?A. Learners regard variable training as typical of what happens in the real world.B. Learners receiving variable training are compelled to reorganise their memories.C. Learners pay attention to the relevant aspects of a task and ignore those irrelevant.D. Learners focus on related skills instead of wasting time and effort on unrelated ones.54. What does the passage say about face recognition?A. People growing up in a small community may find it easy to remember familiar faces.B. Face recognition has a significant impact on literally every aspect of our social lives.C. People growing up in a large community can readily recognise any individual faces.D. The size of the community people grow up in impacts their face recognition ability.55. What does Raviv hope to do with their research work?A. Highlight which aspects of a task are relevant and which are not to learning a skill.B. Use the principle of variability in teaching seemingly unrelated skills in education.C. Arouse people's interest in variability and stimulate more research on the topic.D. Apply the principle of variability to such fields of study as the immune system.

To write his 2010 book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing.He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,” explained Pasternak. Contrast that with the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse (逆转) diabetes.Most other health y eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hastily (匆忙地) wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said. Pasternak. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone walks four miles more than you each day, they’re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”1. Which of the following characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods?A. Color.B. Flavor.C. Diversity.D. Taste.2. What can we know from paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Americans focus more on nutrition and flavor in the way of eating.B. Americans tend to healthily eat quite a lot in the way of eating.C. Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets prioritize local, seasonal produce.D. Diabetes or lung disease patients had better live an olive oil life.3. What is the similarity among people in most healthy eating cultures?A. They attach great importance to their meals.B. They always eat their meals regularly and timely.C. They get the whole family to eat around the table.D. They consume plenty of cereal hastily for dinner.4. What can we learn about people in healthy societies from the last paragraph?A. They walk considerably more.B. They go on a diet to live longer.C. They care more about body shape.D. They consume more organic food.

I ended up majoring in journalism with a minor in English after rediscovering my lofor writing.I then applied for the newspaper job and was accepted on my first try.Iwas lucky enough to be at a school with a reputable journalism program.I was alsolucky in the sense that I discovered my career aspirations at the ripe age of 20,not jusbecause it saved me unknown tuition dollars pursuing unknown degrees with unknowextra classes.I found the porridge just right,so I swallowed it.
