9.Brain-training software may be a waste of time.People who played"mind-boosting"games made the same modest cognitive gains as those who spent a similar amount of time surfing the web."It didn't really make any difference what people did,"says Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council Cognition,who tested brain-training software on volunteers recruited through a BBC television program.
Owen and his colleagues asked 11,000 volunteers to take tests to measure their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial(空间的)memory.Participants then spent six weeks playing on one of two computer programs,or just surfing the web for pleasure.In one program,which imitates commercial brain-training software,the volunteers solved simple mathematics problems and puzzles that tested their memories.The other was designed specifically to boost cognitive abilities such as reasoning and planning.
After six weeks,the participants underwent a second round of cognitive tests.Both groups who played the games made modest improvements,yet so did the web surfers.Skills learned via the programs didn't transfer to the cognitive tests,even when they relied on similar abilities,says Owen.For instance,people who played a game in which they had to find a match for a briefly overturned card struggled at a similar test that used stars"hidden"in boxes,"Even when the tests were conceptually quite similar we didn't see any improvement,"says Owen.He concludes that brain-training software only makes people better at the specific tasks they have been practicing.
Yet Klingberg,who founded a cognitive-training firm called Cogmed,is indignant at the conclusion that all brain training is bunk.The participants in Owen's study didn't practice for long enough and there was no quality control over what practice people did,he says."Asking subjects to sit at home and do tests online,perhaps with the TV on or other distractions around,is likely to result in noisy data,"he says."This paper does in no way disprove that the brain is plastic or that cognitive functions can be improved by training."Owen counters that his team's research took place in settings similar to the ones people are likely to practice in."This is what people are doing.They're sitting at home on their computers doing brain training."

32.The purpose of Owen recruiting volunteers to do the first round of tests isA.
A.test their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial memory
B.support the BBC television program in his way
C.prove how much information participants can remember
D.detect differences among people in memorizing information
33.From the second round of cognitive tests,Owen concludes thatD.
A.all participants have made much recognizable improvement dramatically
B.participants have developed reasoning ability to solve complicated problems
C.participants can make greater improvement in solving very similar problems
D.participants performed better in certain tasks they have practiced for a long time
34.What's the meaning of"indignant"?C
A.Surprised.
B.Agreeable.
C.Mad.
D.Dishonest.
35.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.There is a debate about whether brain-training software is effective.
B.We should concentrate on brain-training software in our daily life.
C.Brain-training software is useless to most people.

Memorandum(备忘录)
To:Members of all departments
From:Annette Derringer
Subject:Year-end party
Date:November 26
  This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month's year-end party.As you know,the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club,which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st.1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance,but if you have not let me know yet,please do so in the next day or two.Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company.
  The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before.Basically,there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles,so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool(拼车)as much as possible.Also,the number of lockers available is small,so guests should try to keep belongings to a,minimum.
Thanks in advance,
Annette

Subject:Year-end party
Date:November 28
Annette,
  I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7:30.I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests.I know it is a bit of a last-minute request,but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time,and they would love to see the Green Vale.If it is not a problem,then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets?Also,assuming this is OK,we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear.I will have a couple of days off before the party,and I will not be in my office December 17th,so could you get back to me before then?
Thanks a lot,
Kyle
