“Wolf！”

 Lydia Angiyou's five-year-old nephew Paulussie whispered with alarm as he touched her

arm. At first, she didn't believe him.

     Angiyou, Paulussie, her another newphew Lueassie, also five, and her youngest son Jessie,

seven, were walking to her mother's house one night last February. Animals were often sighted

near lvujvik--a village of 274 Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay--but rarely on its streets.

     The 41-year-old teacher and mother of five turned around. Looking behind her into the

darkness, at first she thought that Jessie was the wolf. But a meter behind the boy was 350kg

polar bern -no wolf in sight--standing on the icy road. Jessie turned and saw it, too, then ran,

screaming, to his mother.

     Angiyou felt a rush of blood to her brain. "Get as far away as you can!" she shouted to the

boys as she ran towards the bear. She stopped just in front of it, then faced it quiedy. It made a

move to go around her to get to the boys, who must have seemed like the easier meal.

    But Angiyou moved with the bear to maintain her position blocking the children. Finally she

got the animal's attention. In response, it rose on its hind legs to its full 2.5m height. The bear

charged, and knocked her into a seated position. The skin under her nose tore. Falling onto her

back, she screamed for help and kicked at the animal in a bicycling motion. She soon passed out.

     Sirqualuk Ainalik, a fellow teacher, had been at his brother's house nearby when Jessie

dashed inside for help. Grabing a rifle, the 33-year-old ran to the road, firing a warning shot into

the air. He then aimed his gun at the huge bear.

     With two more shots, Ainalik killed the polar bear.

56. Lydia Angiyou and             children went through the adventure.

   A. two            B. three            C. four            D. five

   c. Angiyou went to her mother's home.

   d. A fellow teacher killed the bear.

   e. Angiyou was warned of a wolf.

   A. e c b d a        B. c e d a b          C. c e b a d          D. c e a b d

58. The following are all right except          

   A. Lydia Angiyou was in her forties

   B. A wolf was finally killed

       If you don’t have a college degree, you’re at greater risk of developing memory problems or even Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆). Education plays a key role in lifelong memory performance and risk for mental disorder, and it's well documented that those with a college degree possess a cognitive（认知的） advantage over their less educated counterparts in middle and old age.

       Now, a large national study from Brandeis University published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry shows that those with less schooling can significantly make up for poorer education by frequently engaging in mental exercises such as word games, puzzles, reading, and lectures.

       “The lifelong benefits of higher education for memory in later life are quite impressive, but we do not clearly understand how and why these effects last so long,” said lead author Margie Lachman, a psychologist. She suggested that higher education may encourage lifelong interest in cognitive efforts, while those with less education may not engage as frequently in mental exercises that help keep the memory agile (敏捷地).

       But education early in adulthood does not appear to be the only route to maintain your memory. The study found that intellectual activities undertaken regularly made a difference. “Among individuals with low education, those who are engaged in reading, writing, attending lectures, doing word games or puzzles once a week or more had memory scores similar to people with more education,” said Lachman.

       The study, called Midlife in the United States, assessed 3,343 men and women between the ages of 32 and 84 with a mean age of 56 years. Almost 40 percent of the participants had at least a 4-year college degree. The researchers evaluated how the participants performed in two cognitive areas, verbal memory and executive function --- brain processes involved in planning, abstract thinking and cognitive flexibility. Participants were given a battery of tests, including tests of verbal fluency, word recall, and backward counting.

       As expected, those with higher education said they engaged in cognitive activities more often and also did better on the memory tests, but some with lower education also did well, explained Lachman.

       “The findings are promising because they suggest there may be ways to level the playing field for those with lower educational achievement, and protect those at greatest risk for memory declines,” said Lachman. “Although we can not rule out the possibility that those who have better memories are the ones who take on more activities, the evidence is consistent with cognitive plasticity (可塑性), and suggests some degree of personal control over cognitive functioning in adulthood by adopting an intellectually active lifestyle.”

57. What is the text mainly about?

       A. Higher education has a better cognitive advantage.

       B. Better memories result from college degree.

       C. Cognitive activity does a mind good.

       D. Poor education has more risk of memory declines.

58. According to the result of Margie Lachman’s study, we can conclude that ________.

      A. education is responsible for the lifelong memory performance and risk for mental disorder

      B. education early in adulthood can be the only route to maintain your memory

      C. those with higher education did better on the memory tests than those with lower education

      D. an intellectually active lifestyle does help to maintain your memory

59. What do we know about the study called Midlife?

      A. Participants each were given a battery to test their memory.

      B. The average age of the participants are 56 years old.

      C. Participants had to perform in one of the two cognitive areas.

      D. One in four of the participants had a 4-year college degree.

60. Why are the findings of the Lachman’s study promising?

      A. The lower educated may have the same opportunities to keep up memory.

      B. We may have ways to cure the people who have memory declines.

      C. Adopting a different lifestyle can control over cognitive functioning.

      D. We can find out the possibility to have better memories.

Until the start of the Industrial Revolution, mankind was poor, hungry, and constantly at the _______ of disease and natural disasters.

       A. power B. limit   C. control       D. mercy
