【题目】阅读表达
You know that eating a sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong.But do you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter? Here are some steps toward a smarter brain.
Limit your TV viewing
① Never spend too much time on TV viewing, for it needs very little brain activities.Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do.If you do watch TV, choose something educational and meaningful.
Travel
Travelling to another country forces you to see and do things in a fresh way, bringing stimulation to the brain.
Learn a new language
Learning a new language involves different learning methods.Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems that you may meet in later years.
Read often
As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren't familiar.Reading makes your vocabulary much larger if you always search for words and definitions that you don't know.Each week, choose an animal, a bird or fish, and read everything you can about it.Stretch your brain as you become an expert on the subject.
Calculate （计算）when you shop
As you put things in your grocery cart, total everything in your head.See how close you get to the actual total.
Use your non-dominant（不占优势的）hand
If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed.Doing familiar things in a different way will make your brain create new neural （神经）networks.
Wechat（微信）
② Read messages from various people.They have different interests.And some say that learning to express yourself in just 100 words is a great brain challenge.

【解析】文章大意：合理饮食和锻炼能使身体健康强壮，但你知道使你的大脑更健康聪明的方法吗？短文介绍了使大脑更聪明的七步骤：限制看电视，旅行，学习一门外语，经常阅读，购物时计算，使用劣势手，微信。
（1）翻译题。never：从不，绝不；spend…on…：把时间花在……上；too much time太多的时间；TV viewing看电视的名词短语；very little很少，activities活动。故译成：绝对不要花费太多时间看电视，因为它几乎不需要脑力劳动。
（2）句型转换题。句意：Read messages from various people.读来自不同人们的消息。 They have different interests.他们有不同的兴趣。后句是对前句中people的说明，可以合并成带有定语从句的复合句，先行词是people，指人，用关系词who引出后句作定语从句，故合并成：Read messages from various people who have different interests.
（3）推理判断题。题意：你为什么经常按照本文阅读？根据阅读那一段的大意，阅读的原因是：可以查阅不内的人物及地点、可以使自己的词典变大、锻炼大脑。故回答：Because you can look up people or places that aren't familiar, makes your vocabulary much larger and stretch your brain。
（4）细节理解题。题意：文中提到了多少种使你的大脑更健康聪明的方法？根据短文，提到了“限制看电视，旅行，学习一门外语，经常阅读，购物时计算，使用劣势手，微信。”七种方法，故回答：Seven./ 7./ There are seven steps (towards a smarter brain are mentioned in the passage)。
（5）题目推断题。题意：给短文一个题目。短文主要介绍使大脑更聪明的步骤，故可以用这些标题： Steps towards a smarter brain / How to be smarter / How to be cleverer / Steps towards a cleverer brain
