Stop eating yourself stupid we all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. Now add “lack of intelligence” to the growing list. A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are.

According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding food that was waiting for them. 1.  Actually a high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence--but so can a low-calorie diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance.

Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power.

Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight. __2.__ If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400 calories; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight.

__3.__Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water. Well! Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. __4.__

Exercise regularly with a positive attitude. Aim for at least three 30-minute training sessions a week(but more is better). I like simple exercise such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. _5._  Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this kind of music can help make them smarter as well.

A．You may be fond of music, too.

B．Your health depends on your exercise plan.

C．Aim to get this number of calories each day.

D．Don’t forget to exercise your mind while doing so.

E．You may be wondering what this has to do with us.

F．These are all good ways to help increase your intelligence.

G．Eat the right foods in addition to getting the right number of calories.

　　Whether it's dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people 1 to their table manners. 2 what can you do if your kids are burping(打饱嗝) and slurping(出声地吃东西) their way through dinner?

　　Dr. Alex Packer, psychologist and the author of How Rude, The Teenagers Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out, recommends(推荐) these seven steps to 3 your child on the road to good manners:

　　Look for the good. 4 pointing out all the things your child does wrong, point out what she does 5 . Say, “I was so proud of you when we went to the Joneses for dinner. It was wonderful the way you served yourself when the platter(主菜盘) passed by.”

　　Don't turn dinner into a/an 6 “lecture time.” That will turn kids off not only to manners, but to dinner, and to you, too.

　　Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear(内衣) 7 you want your kids to do the same.

　　Don't label(贴标签) your child as a slob(粗俗平庸的人). 8 , point out the behavior in a neutral(中立的), practical way. For example: “It's a good idea to unfold your napkin so if food falls you won't dirty your clothes.”

　　Approach manners as a game. One night a week, try to have a somewhat more 9 dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve your kids' social graces(风度).

　　Make kids part of the tradition. Invite guests 10 and let kids help serve hors d'oeuvres(餐前开胃小吃). This helps them indirectly learn about the manners that surround eating.

　　Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants 11 make a difference. Try a nice restaurant and allow kids to order their own food, and help in paying the bill and figuring out the tip.

　　And Dr. Packer says not to lose heart if your kids' manners at home are 12 . “Often these same kids show very good behavior outside the house. If you're getting positive reports from outside the home, that's great. You can trust them.”

Ⅲ 阅读 (共两节，满分40分）
第一节阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并存答题卡上将该
项涂黑。
(A)
Increasingly over the last few years,we have become familiar with the range of small electronic devices or  “smart” accessories (附件,饰品 ) . Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways.
As a scientist at New York University . Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market.  One of these was the so-called " frown (皱眉)headband". Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned. Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal.
Another computer scientist , Stevcn Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see .Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu.  If you are weanng a pair of Steven's glasses . all yau have to do is glance above the restauran’s doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Tntemet, offering you full details of the meals served inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches,give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with
patient information while they carry out operations.
At the moment, Steven's invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses.
It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning  System  ( GPS ) receiver, which tracks the wearer's position. But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves.
And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application. A chemical engineer named Roben Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring,can give off different smells according to a person's mood. That, of course, may or may not appeal to you.  And,in the end , it is  shoppers . not scientiscs , who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure tO join history's long list of crazy inventions.
It is clear,however ,that as computers get smaller and cheapcr.  Lhcy will pop up in all sorts
of easily-wearable accessories . even in the buttons on your coat.  WhaCs morc, this is something that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect.
