Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit and that can be a very annoying thing.   【小題1】   Read on for some techniques worth trying. 
1.    【小題2】     
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease (早老性癡呆癥), according to a recent study.   【小題3】  Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.   【小題4】  
3. Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.   【小題5】   Or go dancing with your friends.

A．Focus on the future.
B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C．It should be something like learning gardening.
D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain


【小題1】F
【小題2】A

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work.  【小題1】  What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized.   【小題2】  Together , you and your teen can work out a time—table in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.

根據(jù)短文內容，選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余選項。

A. Travel as often as possible
B. Provide great value to the world
C. Work hard and face great challenges
D. Make the very best of every situation
E. Spend time with friends who improve you
F. Work on something every day that moves you
 Everyone hopes to live a long life. But how can you make your long life happy and meaningful? You can read on to find answers.
【小題1】Go traveling wherever you want and go to see one part of the world you’ve never seen before. You will not regret it. Traveling has less to do with seeing things, as it does with experiencing them. It has less to do with discovering something, as it does with discovering yourself. You run into all the good things and bad things about yourself on a daily basis if you travel to new places, and you are provided with the opportunity to grow far beyond your years.
【小題2】You can go through life and make new friends anytime, but no one can take the place of those persons who truly improve you. They are the most important people you will ever meet because they tear down the invisible walls you have built in your mind. In other words, they come into your life and help you develop your potential that you would never have been aware of without them.
【小題3】The road to greatness is far from easy. You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are getting weaker from struggle, you are in fact growing stronger than you ever have been before. The more difficulties you meet and solve on your lifelong journey, the more meaningful your life story will be.
【小題4】One of the great secrets of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is doing the best you can with what it done to you. It’s all about how you choose to respond to different situations. This simple choice makes a world of difference. If you find your situations tolerable, by all means tolerate them; if you find them intolerable, break through them. Eventually you are free because you alone are responsible for your thoughts and how you use them to improve your growth.
【小題5】The best way to get ahead in this world is not to complete with others, but to serve them. If you want to get a promotion at work, be good to your boss. If you want to build a successful business, be of service to your potential customers. Provide unmistakable value. Value is what makes relationships, businesses, and personal efforts grow. At any age, in any situation, for every possible life path, there is value you can provide. Success and happiness will come when you choose to work for the world.

Ten years ago, I used to be very fit. __【小題1】__ I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days, I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
__【小題2】__ The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (壓力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. __ 【小題3】__ I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago, I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. “I’m too young.” I said.  Luckily it wasn’t very serious. I was in hospital a few days and they did a lot of tests. __【小題4】__ He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! __【小題5】__
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

A．Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job.

根據(jù)短文內容，從下框的A一F選項中選出能概括每一段的主題的最佳選項。并將答案涂在答題紙上相應位置。選項中有一項為多余選項。
A. Be optimistic
B. Stay close to friends
C. Act as if you are happy
D. Make somebody happy
E. Exercise regularly
F. Be grateful
Happiness is a choice. To be happy at all times, you need to make happiness a habit and not just an act. I believe that the following points will show you how to stay happy no matter what happens.
【小題1】___________
Gratitude is a sign of appreciation and you ought to show appreciation for life. Always wake up every morning in acknowledgement that you have a list of things you should be thankful for, for example, I woke up this morning, I have food on my table, I have clothes to wear, I have a good paying job, the skies are beautiful and the atmosphere is great. By the time, I am sure that you will feel better already.
【小題2】__________
Unhappiness can result from stressing our bodies and minds. Scientists believe that 20 minutes of exercise can make you happy regardless of how sad you may be. Exercise raises your heart rate. As your heart begins to pound, certain hormones（荷爾蒙）are released which create a sense of total well being and you begin to feel well again, the mind stress is gone and everything is under control. Another thing you can do is to take a walk; this works for me all the time. When you take a walk, you are able to think over matters that are bothering you and come up with solutions to them.
【小題3】___________
“The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer somebody else up.” Said Mark Twain. When you sow happiness, you gain happiness. Mother Teresa knew this secret so well; she devoted her life to helping others even if it simply meant putting a smile on someone’s face. Here are two of her famous quotes: “A life not lived for others is not a life; let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”
【小題4】____________
Change is inevitable（不可避免的）and no situation is permanent. Whenever you are feeling sad or depressed, always remember that it’s temporary and that tomorrow will be better, tough times don’t last but tough people do. Develop a positive attitude, and you will stay happy.
【小題5】_____________
Smile always, even when you are feeling blue. When the body acts, emotions follow. A smile costs nothing but it creates much, it enriches those who receive it without making those who give poor. Learn to smile and act at all times, it won’t only make you happy, it will also win you happy friends.

A. The Forbidden City, situated in the heart of Beijing, is the largest and the most complete imperial palace and ancient building complex in China. It was home to 24 emperors of the Ming (1368—1644) and Qing (1616—1911) dynasties. The construction of the palaces in the Forbidden City began in 1406. The project spread over 15 years and was not completed until 1470. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden City were rebuilt many times, although they maintained the original style.
B. Mount Tai, the leader of the “Five Sacred Mountains”, is located in the center of Shandong Province, spanning the ranges of Tai’an and Jinan. It covers an area of 550 square kilometers, and its main peak is about 1,532.7 meters high. Mount Tai is a natural museum with many cultural relics and artwork like Heavenly Queen Pool, Red Gate Palace and Mid-Heaven Gate. Besides historic relics, Mount Tai has unique natural scenery.
C. Each year, forecasts of when the blossoms will open are headline news. The information is used by cities to plan cherry blossom festival, travel agencies to schedule tours, and ordinary people to choose dates for parties involving lots of eating and drinking under the trees.
D. Hong Kong is perhaps the best shopping place in the world with reasonable prices, various products and best service. In Hong Kong, shopping is not only a “social activity” but also an important part of recreation and a way of life. Visitors can enjoy the shopping environment and experience the fashion trend.
E. The Leaning Tower of Pisa leans because of the unstable soil on which it was built. The construction started in 1173. The building began to lean as soon as the first three floors were completed. Nevertheless, building continued, and the seven-story structure was finished between 1360 and 1370. It leans a bit more each year, and it was closed for repairs in 1990. Engineers worked to stabilize the foundation and straighten it slightly to prevent damage.
F. Centuries ago, the African elephant inhabited most of the African continent. Today, elephants are found only in the south of the Sahara. As a result of the habitat loss, along with poaching（偷獵）, the number of elephants has greatly declined. The decline has caused serious concern about the long-term survival of the species.
