【题目】In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”

Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced.

“An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”

Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.

“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”

1Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?

A. It’s unnecessary.

B. It does no good to human health..

C. It is hated by most people.

D. It will surely lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.

2From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.

A.a low-salt diet may be good to some patients

B.the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure

C.the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patient

D.an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone

3In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.

A.people should not be afraid of taking much excessive salt

B.doctors should not always advise people to avoid salt

C.an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill people

D.excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population

4What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?

A.They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.

B.They should avoid salt as often as possible.

C.They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.

D.They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.

【题目】Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldnt be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. Your brain is a learning machine , says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when were younger. All thats required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.

Merzenich has developed a computer---based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.

Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between dog and bog, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. Its a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich , hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long youre pretty quick.

The biggest finding in brain research in last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.

To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language...... When it comes to preventing aging, you really do do it or lose it, says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.

1Dr. Merzenichs training method mainly depends on ________.

A. the information being dealt with

B. computer languages

C. the activities one joins in

D. speech training

2By saying the brain at any age is highly plastic, the writer probably means the brain can be____

A. developed B. mastered

C. used D. researched

3What can we learn from the text?

A. Practice makes a quick mind

B. Brain research started ten years ago.

C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer

D. People used to believe nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

4Which of the following agrees with the writers idea?

A. The training methods work better for the old

B. The training of the brain should start at an early age

C. People should use the brain to stop it from aging.

D. Its necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.
