【题目】Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 【1】Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 【2】

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent

reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.

【3】

Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact,exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 【4】

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 【5】 Or go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be espocially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

【题目】阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇120词左右的英语短文。

A group of frogs were travailing through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn’t listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said,“ Didn’t you hear us?” the frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words --- anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long time.
