The same life day by day is like eating white rice every day for your brain(大腦). Playing games with your mind(頭腦) keeps your brains quick, and make your memory and powers of reasoning much better. Try the following fun and free activities to stimulate your brain.

Use the opposite hand: If you are right-handed, become a lefty. Changing the hand you usually use can get your brain thinking in a different way.

Talk to yourself: Pick one hour a day to discuss something with yourself. Describe what you see, what you are doing, or what you are going to do. Talking while thinking is a great brain booster(助推器).

Write down your dream: You can write out your wishes and goals(目標(biāo)) and they can call your attention. Keep a pen and paper next to your bed. You can record your sleeping dreams with them. It is a fun way to get your brain thinking. Along with increasing memory, trying to unlock the secret behind your sleeping brain is one way to get to know yourself better.

Walk on: Just like the body, your brain needs exercise, too. Walking can increase blood circulation(血液循環(huán)), which encourages blood vessels(血管) in your brain grow, raise energy production and throw away the waste. So walk anywhere at anywhere at anytime if possible.

There are many American expressions about insects(昆蟲) like bees, for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy, moving around their homes or hives. So you might say you were “as busy as a bee” if you spent your weekend cleaning your house .

Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think it was first used in the nineteen twenties. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was “the bee’s knees”. Now, we admit(承認(rèn)) that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees!.

Hornets(大黃蜂) are bee-like insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you are“mad as a hornet”.And if you “stir up a hornet’s nest”, you create trouble or problems.

Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to “have butterflies in the stomach”. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. And do you know any expressions about ants?

1.When Mrs. King spends her weekend cleaning the house, we can say she is as busy as _________.

A. a bee B. a hornet

C. a butterfly D. an insect

2.When you say to others “I am mad as a hornet”, what do you really mean?
