A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain.They say that you can’t teach an old new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true.1. .

Give your brain a workout.Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”.The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information.2. .

Don’t skip the physical exercise.While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat.Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp.It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.

Get enough sleep.There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best.3. .

Keep stress in check.Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies.Over time, stress destroys brain cells.Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

Have a laugh.4. That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body.Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.

__5.__ Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain.You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory.For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.

A.Eat a brain-boosting diet.

B.Play games with memory.

C.Laughter is the best medicine.

D.But oversleeping is not good for your brain.

E.Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!

F.You have to shake things up from time to time!

G.The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

In Britain,it's bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year,.The last Friday before Christmas popularly known as‘Mad Friday’—is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs.

But it's not just the bars that get busy.Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too.Head injuries,,cuts,falls…it's easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcoho1.Revelers(纵酒狂欢的人)have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some.

The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.

Jackie Ballard,the charity’s Chief Executive,believes the campaign has been successful in recent years.She says:“More than two-thirds of people even six months later are drinking at reduced levels having had a month off drink.But also a study has shown the impact it has on people’s health reducing their blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”

The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern’s Dry January campaign and found out that 72%of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4%were still not drinking.

Moderation(适度)seems to be the key to everything.The official recommendation for women is not to regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day.The limit for men is 3 to 4 units of alcohol—no more than a pint of 5.2%ABV lager,beer or cider.

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears.But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain.Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional(情感的) health, and crying seems to work well.One study found that 85 % of women and 73% of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort.Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad until we cry.We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying – holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering- can be bad for physical(身体的) health.Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses.If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry.But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it.It’s a natural – and healthy- emotional response(反应)。

Dear Friend.

The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.

And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year, plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.

Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me.

But am I good enough?

I was once where you might be now.My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.

Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿)suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened.I sold three stories.And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.

Free test and brochure

We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.

Realize your writing dream today.There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades (消失)forever.

Sincerely.

Kristi Holl, Instructor
