【题目】B

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.

Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.

First, relax. If you are over worried about remembering something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with sayings like ＂Oh, my God! I always forget things!＂ Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.

If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

【1】 The first two paragraphs just tell us _________________.

A. Barbara was a very rich person

B. Mark often forgot his friends’ names

C. examples of memory problems

D. language problems of two persons

【2】 When you forget things, you _________________.

A. must be too careless

B. shouldn’t lose heart about your memory

C. must accept the fact

D. shouldn’t take notice of the result

【3】 The word ＂opportunities＂ in the fifth paragraph means ＂_________________＂.

A. places B. activities C. positions D. chances

【4】According to the passage, _________________ can make your memory better.

A. realizing your memory problems

B. talking to your friends

C. making mind pictures of what you see

D. doing sports every day

【5】 The purpose of the passage is to help you _________________.

A. to improve your memory B. to introduce the guest

C. to remember new words D. to forget unhappy things

Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active, but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan, it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise.

First, try to know what kind of person you are. Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl(猫头鹰) who almost never goes to bed before midnight? Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are, you will have a better understanding of when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning, sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.

Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks? Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible, so that you can keep exercising and your life won’t be influenced as well.

Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time is usually in the morning after a good night’s rest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much stressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.

Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise. Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment(设备), but if there is a gym(健身房) down the street or along the way home from work, it will make it more suitable for you to exercise.

More importantly, you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week. If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction, make it a habit. And once you have set up your fitness plan, don’t make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to.
