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 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.
we may spend an all night studying before an important exam．We'll most probably rush to rescue a broken down friend in the middle of the nigh， 1. All that can leave you feeling unsure of how you're going to survive the day ahead．If you would like some helpful tips on how to stay alert，read on to find out more：
．Nap
This may seem obvious but it goes without saying that the antidote（解药）to tiredness is sleep. 2.
According to Dr David Dinges，editor of the journal SLEEP，a nap as short as 10minutes can be of benefit to you by moving the brain into slow-wave‘sleep．According to ranges，sleeping for longer than 40 minutes could leave you feeling slightly groggy(昏沉) upon waking，but this will soon wear off. 3.
. 4.
Though this is not a long term solution it does do the trick temporarily．The average person needs around 100-200 milligrams of caffeine.5. The benefits will last for around three to four hours．
A.Caffeine doesn't work．
B．Drink caffeinated drinks．
C．Lack of sleep is becoming more and more common in our society．
D．If you haven't got time for 8 hours then try taking a short nap instead．
E．It will take around 15 to 30 minutes for it to come into effect．

Dr．Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”．He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨), “turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes．
The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature(过早的)signs of ageing．“If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown(皱眉)while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines,” Dr．Prager said．“What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long．If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck．“
Dr．Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen．“When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy(脾气暴躁的)face’ without even knowing what they are doing．When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them．”
He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so．But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task．I think the problem is going to become much, much worse．In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful．”
Dr．Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles．And, of course, there was always Botox．He said that, after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken．
1.In what way do women develop a “computer face”?
A．Frowning every now and then．
B．Concentrating on computers frequently．
C．Working for too long in front of a screen．
D．Sitting in the same place for a long time．
2.According to the passage, which of the following are signs of ageing?
A．Saggy jowls and short necks．
B．Turkey neck and frown lines．
C．Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces．
D．Second neck and stressed muscles．
3.From the last 2 paragraphs, we can learn that ______．
A．“computer face” is avoidable
B．we should give up using computers
C．we should break the habit of “grumpy face”
D．the younger generation is worse at computers
