15.Tips for Staying SharpIt's not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you're feeling a bit sluggish(迟钝的)when it comes to remembering things.If you're worried about your forgetfulness,try out these five tips to stay sharp.
(11)AYou've probably heard the term"you are what you eat."If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy.But if you decide to eat fruits,vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you'll find that you're full of energy.
Never stop learning
Challenge yourself constantly---whether it is puzzles,reading,cooking or other tasks that will keep your mind working.If your mind is always learning new things and active,you'll realize that it's much easier for you to learn new things and to function.(12)G
Stay fit
Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp.(13)CIf you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires rmembering things and completing tasks.However,if you put forth the effort into being health then your body will expel(释放)the energy you need to achieve your goals.
Ensure enough sleep
Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis.(14)FIt also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions.
Socialize more
(15)E Social interaction will help you develop multitasking,problem solving and other skils that are necessary in life to keep your mind sharp.

A.Feed your brain
B.Avoid eating too much
C.Your body will only give you what you put into it
D.Lack of sleep contributes to tiredness and slow reaction
E.Conversations require individuals to stay aware and active
F.According to studies,sleep helps strengthen and recover your memories
G.Remember you brain s a muscle and if you want to get the most out of it,you must use it.

7.ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
(16)BTry the following steps:
Calm yourself.(17)F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.(18)GKeep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Retinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(19)D If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(20)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's side.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simle stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.

5.If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice:there are four skills in learning English.They are reading,listening,speaking and writing.The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences,the meaning of the unfamiliar words,etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across,but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them,for example in other passage or books,is enough.It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening,there are two choices:besides reading,you can listen every day for about 30minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading,then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind,you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

5.According to the author,which should you improve first among the four skills?A
A.Reading and listening.
B.Reading and writing.
C.Writing and speaking.
D.Speaking and listening.
6.To improve your reading,when you read you shouldB.
A.look up all the new words in the dictionary
B.think about what you are reading actively
C.spend more time studying grammar
D.copy as many words and sentences as possible
7.The author seems to agree with the view thatC.
A.everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B.You needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
8.The passage is mainly about how toD.
A.choose suitable listening materials
B.deal with new words in reading
C.improve your English as quickly as possible
D.become fluent in speaking and writing English.
