19．A woman named Emily （25）renewing（renew） her driver's license was asked by a woman recorder to state her occupation．She hesitated，uncertain how to classify herself．"What I mean is （26）whetheryou have a job．"explained the recorder．
"Of course I have a job，"replied Emily．"I'm a mother．"
"We don't list‘mother'（27）asan occupation …‘Housewife'covers it，"said the recorder．
    I forgot all about her story （28）untilone day I found myself in the same situation at Town Hall．The clerk was obviously a career woman．"What is your occupation？"she asked．
    I don't know what made me say it．The words simply got out．"I'm a researcher in the field of Child Development and Human Relation．"
    The clerk paused and looked up （29）as ifshe hadn't heard right．
"Might I ask，"said the clerk，"what do you do in your field？"
    Coolly，I heard myself reply，"I have a continuing program of research，in the laboratory and in the field．Normally，I would have said indoors and out．I'm working for my Master，the whole family，and already have four credits．Of course，the job is one of the （30）most demanding（demanding） in the humanities，and I often work 14 hours a day，but the job is more challenging and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money．"
    There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form，stood up and personally showed me to the door．
    As I drove into our driveway，I was greeted by my lab assistant．Upstairs I could hear my new experimental model，a six-month-old baby，in the child-development program，（31）testing（test） out a new vocal pattern．
    I felt proud!Motherhood …What a glorious career!
6．[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read？Are names sometimes just beyond your brain's reach？While forgetfulness isn't necessarily a sign that something's wrong，it can be frustrating（令人沮丧的）．But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory．
[2]Challenge your habits．Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way．For example，use the‘wrong'hand to do an everyday task several times a day．If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand，use your left．The brain‘knows'whew you're using the wrong hand．It's that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits，as the brain struggles to master a new task．
[3]Get involved in niusic．Listening to music can improve your ability to concentrate and help you to remember what you've learnt．Some types of music actually cause brain neurons（神经细胞）to fire more quickly．If you're really looking forward to sharpening your memory，take up a musical instrument．Whatever the instrument，learning to p1ay will tune your brain's ability to analyse and focus．
[41Go out of your way to stay mentally active．What really counts is not the amount of book learning you did at school or university，it's how much you actively use your mind．For example，doing crossword puzzles，learning a second language or playing games can exercise your brain．
[5]．Make sure that you get enough of the B vitamins in your diet．They help to repair brain tissue，and turn food into mental energy．Eat fish 2 or 3 times a week．If you drink coffee，you'll not only get a short-term boost in your ability to concentrate but also long-term benefits as well．Besides，the brain is 85%water，so if you don't drink at least 8 large glasses of water a day，you could suffer from memory loss．

16．People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver．Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida，Nevada and California．They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road．The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars，which had covered 480，000 kilometers by August．Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020．

"By taking out drivers，you also remove most risks of an accident，"Kendall said．He said consumers，however，may be unwilling to lose control．"It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable，but it will have to prove itself first．"
     Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable．He said this will happen as the technology is improved．
