Mr. Jones saw the professor _8_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was _9_ in sight, he stepped into the garden (there was no fence), put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat nearly on the grass and _10_ the rope. He pulled it _11_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _12_ on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around _13_. _14_ he swung, sometimes taking a few more _15_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing _16_ slowly for him.
_17_ the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, _18_ his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued _19_ his way to the university, looking as _20_ and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the followingpassage:
It is difficult to imagine what life would belike without memory. (78) The meanings of thou-sands of everydayperceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habitsand skills are to be found in our past experiences,which are brought into thepresent by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keepinformation available for later use. It includes not only “remembering” thingslike arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the wayan animal typically behaves. (79) Memory is involved when a rat gives upeating grain be-cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memoryis also involved when a six- year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
Memory exists not only in humans and animalsbut also in some physical objects and ma-chines. Computers, for example,contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to comparethe memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. Theinstant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”一ready for instant use. An averageU. S.teenagerprobably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However,this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenagerhas 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 advancedproblem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s memoryis in terms of words and combinations of words.
