【题目】Why should you read every day?

When was the last time you read a book? If you’ re one of countless people who don’t make a habit of reading regularly, you might be missing out. Reading has many benefits, and just a few benefits of reading are listed below.

Mental Stimulation

Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. 【1】. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy.

Wider Knowledge

Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy.【2】.

Stress Reduction

No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other problems, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story.【3】. And an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, allowing you to relax.

【4】

When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story — the rest of the world just falls away. Try reading for 15 to 20 minutes before work, and you’ 11 be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.

Tranquility (安宁)

【5】. Reading spiritual texts can lower blood pressure and bring about a sense of calm, while reading self-help books has been shown to help people suffering from certain mood disorders or mental illnesses.

A. Stronger thinking skills

B. Improved focus and concentration

C. A well-written novel can transport you to other world

D. Reading a good book can also bring about great inner peace

【题目】They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water.

The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks. The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.

The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia. 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition. By 2021 this is expected rise to one million.

John Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine. " Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms Gray said: "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest. People don't need to communicate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond."

Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take medicine. If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there is a greater chance of them taking it. The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."

【1】In Britain people with dementia_____________.

A. are likely to increase in number

B. are mostly over 65 years old

C. will be trained to respond to sound triggers

D. will be able to live a relatively normal life

【2】The dogs are trained to perform tasks by______________.

A. making some sound signals

B. communicating with the patients

C. reminding the patients by barking

D. reacting to some sound triggers

【3】What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Faces. B. Triggers.

C. Pets. D. Companions.

【题目】University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.

These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.

“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”

I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.

People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”

Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”

You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.

【1】The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.

A. are important for him and others like Caty

B. have the power to make students learn more

C. are frequently used by many university students

D. should be used by all of the students in universities

【2】The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”

A. avoiding B. choosing

C. using D. adding

【3】Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?

A. She hates to share everything with others.

B. She hopes her personal information is safe.

C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.

D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.

【4】What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?

A. She is completely against them. B. She herself refuses to use them.

C. She is completely for them. D. She is objective.

【题目】 Though sometimes we may lose our ability to do something we love, passions don’t have to end. Suzelle Poole of Dallas, Texas is living proof of that. The 79-year-old has been dancing for more than seven decades.

Suzelle started ballet when she was just 7 years old, and her devotion only grew stronger as her talent increased in the following years. In fact, Suzelle was so talented that she went to perform all around the world! Like most professional ballerinas (芭蕾舞女），Suzelle expected a short-lived career. “When I was about 26,1 knew I only had a few years left,”she said. It’s simply the nature of the art form because the movements are so hard on people’s bodies. But Suzelle’s body didn’t wear out at 26 — or even 56! At one point, she broke her arm but she was dancing again by the following week.

Nowadays she focuses on teaching the next generation of ballerinas at the Royale Ballet Dance Academy, where she and her students regularly perform for senior residents in assisted living facilities.

Suzelle has become such an inspiration that CBS News reporter Steve Hartman and his 5-year-old daughter Meryl recently traveled to Dallas to interview her. Steve’s little girl couldn’t wait to meet and dance with the woman she wants to become.

During the interview, Suzelle shared a piece of wisdom: “Ballet helps everything,” she said. “If you’re not feeling very well, you go to a ballet class, and you feel better after.” Meryl nodded knowingly. She also added, “Ballet could always cheer me up whenever I feel depressed.”

It’s no wonder Suzelle has no plans to hang up her pointed shoes. Why would she give up something that brings her so much joy?

【1】Why did Suzelle at her 26 think her career would end soon?

A.The nature of the body didn’t allow lasting performance.

B.The audience didn’t like her performance.

C.She injured her arm in a training course.

D.She had to look after her family.

【2】Why did Steve Hartman take his daughter Meryl to meet Suzelle?

A.To help Meryl with her problems.

B.To make Meryl experience a reporter’s work.

C.To inspire Meryl to pursue her dancing dream.

D.To realise Meryl’s dream of dancing with famous people.

【3】In Suzelle’s opinion, ballet dance ___________.

A.benefits people’s mental health

B.should be taught at primary school

C.is less attractive to the young

D.raises people’s interest in art

【4】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Suzelle will go to find other joy of life.

B.Suzelle will carry on her ballet career.

C.Suzelle will put away her ballet shoes.

D.Suzelle will devote herself to art teaching.

【题目】 Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened."

So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.

Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go."

Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.

At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.

She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to react, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing — that’s what is carrying me through."

【1】Laura noticed her father’s dementia when .

A.her father told her his condition in person

B.people nearby informed her of his father’s condition

C.her father forgot his own birthday party

D.her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party

【2】The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 4 probably means .

A.excitedB.struggled

C.shockedD.delighted

【3】Laura started the open talk in the hope of .

A.getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openly

B.earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer’s disease

C.making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s disease

D.raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK

【4】Which words can best describe Laura?

A.Caring and positive.B.Careful and honest.

C.Patient and cautious.D.Devoted and modest.
