A strong memory depends on the health and vitality （活力） of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 1.

Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 2.

Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.

Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 3.

Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

Have a laugh. 4. That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.

5. Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.

A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.

B. Play games with memory.

C. Laughter is the best medicine.

D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.

E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!

F. You have to shake things up from time to time!

G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

閱讀理解。

When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941,they did it secretly.The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.

The noise about Pearl Harbor,made by Disney,has reached its highest point with its premiere(首次公演) before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend,a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

As Ben Affleck is the main star,the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.

At almost three hours in length,it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie.There is a love story.Affleck and his co-star,Josh Hartnett,both fall in love with the navy nurse,Kate Beckinsale and,of course,there is much human courage and love of country.

It’s certain that Disney will be accused of “changing” history.The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.

Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie.It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor.It is said he did nothing,as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.

Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities(暴行).And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan,where it has a theme park.

Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise.A reviewer for Newsweek,who was given an early preview,acknowledged that the 40-minute sequence(連續(xù)鏡頭) showing the attack itself was powerful.The attack comes quite late in the movie,however,and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.

“Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie,” the reviewer wrote.

1.From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to .

A.the day when the United States was founded

B.the day when people honour their ancestors

C.a day when people honour those who died in wars

D.a day when people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ

2.From the passage we know that Ben Affleck .

A.may be a very popular movie star

B.regarded Josh Hartnett as an enemy

C.experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident

D.was in love with the actress Kate Beckinsale

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Pearl Harbor?

A.The movie has made the Japanese angry.

B.The movie will cause a lot of arguments.

C.The movie truly describes the Pearl Harbor Incident.

D.The movie shows that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention.

4.According to the passage,what does the reviewer for Newsweek think of the movie?

A.The scenes of the attack leave no impression.

B.The dialogue in the movie is original and creative.

C.The characters and the love story are less attractive.

D.The attack scenes occupy too much time of the movie.
