Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

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.

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route — through the boot (行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding (打滑) on ice and hitting a bank.“Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly”, he said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other drivers by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to open the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to open the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a tool and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by.“It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed out of my car as it filled up.”

His hands and arm cut and bruised, Mr.Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs.Lucy Bates. Covered with a blanket, he said,“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.”“Only the tips of the car wheels were visible,”police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”

1.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch

B. the accident happened on a clear warm day

C. the ditch was along a remote country road

D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended

2.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?

B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.

D. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the icy road.

3.The underlined part “Finally it gave”( in Paragraph 5 ) means that ______.

A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end

B. The lock came open after all his efforts

C. At last the tool went broken

D. The chance was lost at the last minute

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The story of Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman

B. Car boot can serve as the best escape route

C. The driver survived a terrible car accident

D. The driver escaped through the car boot

UGG boots have been a winter-weather fashion for several years now,combining function,comfort,warmth and even some style.What many UGG-enthusiasts don’t know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

Doctors believe the boots,which are particularly popular among young teenage girls,are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

Dr.Ian Drysdale,head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine,believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside,it will lead to more ankle,knee,hip and back problems.“These boots are not designed for outside wear.That something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn’t mean it’s good or right,” he said,“The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported.It’s a slipper.You wouldn’t normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that’s indoor.If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time,someone will come up and say it’s not a good idea.” Dr.Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls,whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing.“If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said,“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

Mike O’Neill,a consultant surgeon,said,“As the foot slides around,you get wear and tear(磨损)on the joints on the inside of the foot.The ankle is in the wrong position,the thigh bone also changes position,and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis,which lead to back problems.”

UGG Australia,who makes the designer version of the boots,told The Daily Mirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs”(仿制品) which lack reinforced heels in their boots.
