You know that eating healthy, staying active, and working out a few brain games can help keep you sharp. But these lesser-known habits work wonders, too.
1. Sit tall
When we are sad or afraid, we are more likely to slouch (没精打采地站、坐或走). This position causes us to feel worried or 1 . It makes harder to think clearly and remember things. In a study of 125 university students, 56 percent found it easier to do maths problems when they sat up 2 than when they slumped down.
Sitting tall does improve memory because it helps blood and oxygen flow to the brain—by up to 40 percent.
2. Exercise—once
Having trouble remembering faces? In a small study, researchers showed pictures of faces to older people on two different days and after two different kinds of exercise. On one day, they rode bikes for 20 minutes and made sure they breathed heavily but were still able to talk. On the other day, they 3 sat on a self-pedaling bike for 20 minutes.
4 , people remembered the faces better after this single exercise.
3. Limit TV
As we all know, too much screen time can hurt a child’s cognitive (认知) development. But what about those old people?
It was a long-term study for those who were over 50, and they were healthy as well. It was found that people who watched more than three and a half hours of TV a day for six years experienced a greater 5 in memory test scores than those who watched less. Another study found that watching violent programming harms people’s memory as well.
4. Walk backwards
When trying to recall something, don’t just think “walk backwards”. In a series of 6 , people viewed a video of a movie, a word list or a set of pictures. Then they imagined walking forward or backwards, watched a video that moved forward or backward, or actually walked forwards or backwards. Some people also sat still.
Backward motion, whether real, imagined, or watched, is better than forward motion.

3.A.usually B.mostly C.finally D.simply
4.A.After all B.In addition C.On average D.Sooner or later

My friends and I joined a two-day survival (生存) training course. The first day was really 1 — there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite, we were divided into groups and given a tent (帐篷), some food, a map and a compass (指南针). Fanny stood next to a small river and 2 camping in the grassy area nearby. We all thought that was a good idea.
By the time we had put up the tent, 3 was really hungry. “We wouldn’t have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks.” Peter said. We all told him to stop complaining and help us start a fire to cook our food instead. Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, he finally helped out.
The next day started early. Woken by a strange noise, Peter went to see what was happening. “Some cows have eaten our breakfast!” he shouted. That’s all because you didn’t put away the food property last night,” said Mr Lee.
Worried that Mr Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next task—using the map and compass to find a secret location (地点). We made it to the location before the other groups did. We all felt very 4 .
The survival training course was a great 5 . Now I feel I could survive anywhere!

Passage 6
(24-25七上·上海徐汇区位育中学·期中)Most people hate change and for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So, the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments (调整) to our lives so hard?
Why we dislike change
Fear of change is 1 new. Over a century ago, people in Paris were unhappy with the plans for the Eiffel Tower. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became 2 . Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take. Voluntary (出于自愿的) changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know 3 those changes will affect our future.
How we can overcome our fear of change
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear of change is to be flexible (灵活的). When people are flexible, they can 4 new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 2lst century as technology makes change take place faster than ever before. Those who were against change, especially with technology in the workplace, may end up finding themselves out of a job. When change comes, and you have no choice but to 5 it. A positive (积极的) attitude helps a lot, In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to, and don’t just focus on how you feel about change. You 6 learn to accept the change. You never know your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!

It’s an exciting picture. The sun, the moon and seven other planets of our solar system (太阳系) stand side by side as a loving family.
The picture was taken by Wang Zhipu, at the age of 15. And it helped him 1 the top prize (奖) in the Young Competition category at the Astronomy Photographer (天文摄影师) of the Year competition in 2021.
Wang loved looking up at the sky 2 he was a little kid. In Grade 8, he got the first telescope (望远镜). “Astrophotography needs lots of 3 and effort (精力). You may need to take hundreds or even thousands of photos, then make 4 one picture,” said Wang.
In 2019, Wang started to take pictures of Saturn and Jupiter. He always got up 5 in the morning to get the best places. In 2020, he got pictures of all the planets in the solar system.
“I tried 6 times to take the photos of Mercury. The first two tries were not good because they were not clear enough,” said Wang. The last time he took more than 10,000 pictures of Mercury and chose thousands of them to make.
“I didn’t believe that I could get the top prize,” Wand said. “It encourages me to take better pictures in the future!”

Passage 8
(24-25七上·上海华育中学·期中)Last month, I asked some of my students about their plans for the future. One of them told me that he wanted to study computer science. When I asked him why, he answered, “Because I’m good at it.” “What if you weren’t good at it? What if you always got C’s?” I asked. “That’s 1 . I always get good scores in computer science.”
I was a bit disappointed by his answers. This student does have the ability to do well in computer science. However, he may not become an expert if he never fails. Does this sound strange? Well, believe me 2 you fail at something, you may never know if you truly want to keep working hard at it.
An artist friend of mine was once refused from a master’s degree program. The failure left him heartbroken. But he didn’t want to 3 . He waited for two years and tried again. This time he was accepted. He knew he was lucky, so he worked harder. A few years later, his art became popular. Even The New York Times wrote about him.
Early 4 , on the other hand, can be a bad thing. When I was a teenager, my teachers praised everything I wrote. I could get high marks on my writing without really trying. In college, I felt I had nothing to learn about writing. I cared little about what others thought of my articles. After college, I worked as a writer. I experienced failures. That was when I really started to 5 .

Passage 4
(24-25七上·上海新中中学·期中)Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文).
You know that eating healthy, staying active, and working out a few brain games can help keep you sharp. But these lesser-known habits work wonders, too.
1. Sit tall
When we are sad or afraid, we are more likely to slouch (没精打采地站、坐或走). This position causes us to feel worried or 1 . It makes harder to think clearly and remember things. In a study of 125 university students, 56 percent found it easier to do maths problems when they sat up 2 than when they slumped down.
Sitting tall does improve memory because it helps blood and oxygen flow to the brain—by up to 40 percent.
2. Exercise—once
Having trouble remembering faces? In a small study, researchers showed pictures of faces to older people on two different days and after two different kinds of exercise. On one day, they rode bikes for 20 minutes and made sure they breathed heavily but were still able to talk. On the other day, they 3 sat on a self-pedaling bike for 20 minutes.
4 , people remembered the faces better after this single exercise.
3. Limit TV
As we all know, too much screen time can hurt a child’s cognitive (认知) development. But what about those old people?
It was a long-term study for those who were over 50, and they were healthy as well. It was found that people who watched more than three and a half hours of TV a day for six years experienced a greater 5 in memory test scores than those who watched less. Another study found that watching violent programming harms people’s memory as well.
4. Walk backwards
When trying to recall something, don’t just think “walk backwards”. In a series of 6 , people viewed a video of a movie, a word list or a set of pictures. Then they imagined walking forward or backwards, watched a video that moved forward or backward, or actually walked forwards or backwards. Some people also sat still.
Backward motion, whether real, imagined, or watched, is better than forward motion.
