Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the Cruelty young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.

Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process(過程)                         in which the brain deals with information (positscience.com). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy (準(zhǔn)確性).

Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish (辨別) sounds (between "dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you ~faster and faster to keep you challenged(受到挑戰(zhàn)). You may start out slow, but before long you're pretty quick.

The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.

To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language.... "When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do 'use it or lose it' ," says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.

Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.

A. speech training                           B. computer languages

    C. the activities one joins in             D. the information being dealt with

By saying "the brain at any age is highly plastic ", the writer probably means the brain can be______.

    A. used              B. mastered        C. developed             D. researched

What can we learn from the text?

    A. Practice makes a quick mind.

    B. Brain research started ten yeas ago.

    C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer,

    D. People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

Which of the following agrees with the writer's idea?

    A. The training methods work better for the old.

    B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.

    C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.

D.  It's necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.

Beijing's broadened ban on smoking in public places took effect Thursday, adding force to the effort to hold a smoke-free Olympics.

The new rules extend existing anti-smoking regulations to more places, including fitness centers, cultural relic sites, offices, meeting rooms, dining halls, toilets and lifts. Restaurants, Internet cafes, parks, and waiting halls at airports, railway stations and coach stations are required to set up smoking areas. Hotels will have to offer smoke-free rooms or floors, but the regulations do not specify a proportion.

    However, some restaurant owners have complained that it would be difficult to have a separate smoking room as required by the new regulations. "We plan to issue specific rules to solve this problem as soon as possible," Rao Yingsheng, vice-director of the Beijing Committee for Patriotic Public Health Campaign, was quoted by the Beijing News as saying Thursday. He said small restaurants without a separate room should set aside at least 70 percent of their area for non-smokers. He also said customers and restaurant owners would be asked for their thoughts on the new rule.

    Local authorities dispatched about 100,000 inspectors to make sure the ban was being enforced Thursday. Everyone has the right to dissuade people from smoking in public places, Liu Zejun, who works for the Beijing committee, said. "Citizens are encouraged to expose those who refuse to obey the rule by calling the free telephone line 12320," Liu said.

    People caught smoking in forbidden areas will be fined 10 yuan ($1.40), while enterprises and institutions that violate(違反) the ban will face fines of between 1,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan. Smoking was forbidden in hospitals, kindergartens, schools, museums, sports venues and other places before the new regulations took effect. From Oct 1 last year, the city also banned smoking in its 66,000 cabs, and imposed fines of 100 yuan to 200 yuan on drivers caught smoking in taxis.

    China has pledged a cigarette-free, green Olympics. This year's event will be the first non-smoking Olympic Games since the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), of which China is a signatory(簽名人), went into effect in 2005.

The passage mainly tells us _____.

    A. There will be more places where smoking is forbidden.

    B. More people should give up smoking.

    C. Broadened ban on smoking in public places took effect in order to set up a non-smoking Olympic Games.

    D. Those who smoke at public places will be fined.

Smoking is _____ at airports, railway stations or coach stations etc.

    A. forbidden         B. allowed 

    C. allowed at it’s smoking areas        D. we don’t know

Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

    A. Hotels will have to offer smoke-free rooms.

    B. Smoking is not allowed in most restaurants.

    C. 12320 is a free telephone line to expose those who smoke at public places.

    D. People caught smoking in forbidden areas will be fined.

If a taxi driver smokes in his cab, he will probably be fined _____ .

    A. 10 yuan    B. 50 yuan     C. 120 yuan   D. 1000 yuan

   I was always tired at school, because I used to stay up late watching TV. I even fell asleep one day in my history class, and when I woke up, the teacher was looking at me and laughing! I decided that minute to start going to bed on time. It’s kind of a drag missing the shows I like, but I can tell my body loves it – I feel so much better!
