No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like
those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. (78)Per-haps he made sounds like those he heard all round him--water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.
People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fif-teen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.
The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary big-ger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you toread. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictiona-ry is your most useful book.

(76) Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power straggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Par-ents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.
But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is fight.
(77) Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quar-rels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager,one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents' ex-pectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents' values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.

26、阅读下文，回答26-40题
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78) The meanings of thou-sands of everyday perceptions . the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (79) Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be-cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and ma-chines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"--ready for instant use. An averageU.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of Engfish. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for ex- ample, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.
A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.
According to the passage, memory is considered to be__________.
A．the basis for decision making and problem solving
B．an ability to store experiences for future use
C．an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D．the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words
27、 The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human be-ing shows that __________.
A．the computer' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' s
B．the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' s
C．the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' s
D．both A and B
28、
The whole passage implies that__________.
A．only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B．a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respect
C．animals are able to solve only very simple problems
D．animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence
29、
The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced by__________.
A．"in connection with"
B．"expressed by"
C．"consisting"
D．"by means of"
30、

A．What would life be like without memory?
B．Memory is of vital importance to life.
C．How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s?
D．What is contained in memory?
