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. 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.

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. 5. Or go dancing with your friends.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2014-2015學(xué)年河南確山第二高級(jí)中學(xué)高一下期中英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (懊惱) by limited understanding. What should you do?

Here is some of the advice I give my students:

●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

●Stay relaxed when you do not understand — even if you continue not to understand for a long time.

●Do not translate what you hear into your native language.

●Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Don’t concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that — even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

1.The best way to improve our listening is to _____.

A. practise as much as possible

B. find as many listening resources as possible

C. use the Internet like a radio station

D. speak naturally and read as much as possible

2.Which of the following is a good habit when listening?

A. Try to understand everything.

B. Try to get the main ideas.

C. Pay much attention to details.

D. Translate each word in your mind.

3.Why did the writer mention his / her experience in Germany?

A. To prove the importance of translating.

B. To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.

C. To tell us the importance of staying calm.

D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.

4.The underlined part “a wall” in the last paragraph refers to “_____”.

A. a communication barrier (障礙)

B. culture shock

C. language understanding

D. a little misunderstanding

B

The image of a veiled(用面紗遮蓋)bride walking down the aisle on her father's arm could become a thing of the past as a growing trend for 'feminist(女權(quán)主義者) weddings' has been detected among modern brides to be.

Doing away with the engagement ring, choosing not to be 'given away like property' and wearing a colour other than white are key themes gaining traction(牽引力) in the feminist wedding trend.

The findings, revealed in a survey of 200 brides to be, revealed that almost a quarter of women planned on keeping their maiden name after marriage, while one in 10 were planning to wear a colour other than white on their wedding day.

Traditions such as the wearing of an engagement ring are also increasingly being rejected by brides who feel it is anti-feminist - with such an obvious token(記號(hào)) to be worn on the finger marking the woman in question as 'taken'.

However, while there is undoubtedly a stirring among young brides to be, parents can take comfort in the fact that while some women are beginning to push back against the patriarchy(家長(zhǎng)制), the majority are still keen to uphold certain traditions, with 76 per cent of brides saying they really would like their father to walk them down the aisle.

Elki Parmar of Wedding Days.co.uk, who conducted the survey, said: “Some of the brides we have spoken to are doing things that they feel make their wedding more 'feminist'. That could be reflected by deciding not be given away, the idea being that one of the connotations of this tradition is that the woman is property to be given away. Other brides are choosing not to wear white on their wedding day as a woman’s white wedding dress traditionally carries connotations (含義)of virginal innocence whereas what the groom wears on his wedding day is not perceived(意識(shí)到) to be symbolic, creating somewhat of an imbalance from some feminist perspectives”.

1.Which of the following is not the symbol of traditional wedding?

A.The bride wears bridal veil.

B.The bride walks down the aisle on her father’s arm.

C.The bride wears the engagement ring.

D.The bride wears a color other than white.

2.Why do the brides reject to wear an engagement ring according to the passage?

A.Because it is too cheap.

B.Because it is not made of gold.

C.Because they don’t want to marry their husband.

D.Because it makes the women I question as “taken”.

3.What can we learn from the survey in Paragraph 2?

A.More than 200 brides were investigated.

B.Half of the brides won’t change their last name after marriage to their husband.

C.10% of them prefer to wear a color other than white on their wedding day.

D.No one wants to wear an engagement ring.

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.The tendency mentioned in the passage is becoming more and more popular.

B.Some women are beginning to push back against their parents.

C.The majority of brides don’t like their father to walk them down the aisle.

D.Some brides regard wearing white on their wedding day as a symbol of unequal between men and women.
