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. 【1】 Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 2

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), 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.

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.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. 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 span>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.

【2】A

【3】E

【解析】

试题分析:每个人都可能健忘,但是随着我们慢慢衰老,我们发现我们的脑子越来越迟缓,这非常恼人。但是最近的研究表明我们可以采取一些措施来避免这一情况。

【1】F 根据上文我们的脑子越来越不好用和下文继续读一些可以避免这一现象的措施 可知脑子迟缓是可以避免的,只有F项有此意。

【2】A 根据下一句中made plans and looked forward to upcoming events可知是要着眼未来,故选A。

【3】E 与前一句中looked forward to upcoming events转折,生活中并不是总是充满 会改变人生的事件。

【4】G 根据上文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.可知:锻炼能产生有益大脑的化学物质,后一句是进一步说明,故 G 项正确。

5C 根据上句But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 可知对大脑最好的事情是你学新东西时,身体也要动,即脑力劳动和体力劳动相结合的事,就像学习园艺以及和朋友跳舞这样的事情。选C.

【题目】How teens can stay fit

Any type of regular, physical activity can improve your fitness and your health. 【1】

Exercise should be a regular part of your day, like brushing your teeth, eating and sleeping. It can be in gym class, joining a sports team, or working out on your own. Keep the following tips in mind:

2 A good attitude is important. Find an activity that you think is fun. You are more likely to stick with it if you choose something you like. A lot of people find it's more fun to exercise with someone else, so see if you can find a friend or family member to be active with you.

Take it one step at a time. 3 For example, walk or ride your bike to school. Get on or off the bus several blocks away and walk the rest of the way. Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

Get your heart pumping. Whatever you choose, make sure it includes aerobic (有氧的) activity that makes you breathe harder and increases your heart rate. This is the best type of exercise because it increases your fitness level and makes your heart work better. 4 Examples of aerobic activities are basketball, running, or swimming.

Don’t forget to warm up with some easy exercises or stretching (拉伸) before you do any physical activity. 5 It is also important to stretch out after you exercise to cool down your muscles.

A. Do the activity as often as possible, but don't exercise to the point of pain.

B. The most important thing is that you keep moving!

C. Make physical activity a habit.

D. Small changes can add up to better fitness.

E. Stay positive and have fun.

F. This warms your muscles up and may help protect against injury.

G. It also burns off body fat.

【题目】I grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening. Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and always in moderation(节制).As for myself,1 wasn't interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.

So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in common-alcohol, and plenty of .it wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didn't matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out(喝醉). It seemed shallow to me. I wanted to get to know my new coursemates, not how fast they. could down a pint of beer.

Gradually, however, I realized that real friends don't judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend l went cycling with a coursemate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group ,I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.

Another valuable lesson I learned is that it's perfectly okay to say "No" if you don't want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking(狂喝)has become the norm. Many people who drink don't necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure(同伴压力)-they're afraid to say "No".

【1】What shocked the author when he entered university?

A. The strange campus. B. The popularity of alcohol.

【2】Why did the author return home early from the events at first?

A. He wasn't good at drinking.

B. He had no familiar coursemates.

C. He hated the way people got along.

D. He was left out by the organizers.

【3】How did the author finally make real friends at university?

A. By saying "No" to alcoholic drinks.

B. By staying away from group activities.

C. By giving in to the peer pressure.
