Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking,planning and other
managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age,a study published
如
Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.
Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1,000
retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers'memory and thinking
skills through a battery of tests.Then,for eight years,the scientists asked the same group
金
to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.
Those who had held mentally stimulating ()demanding jobs before retirement
tended to do the best on the tests.And they tended to lose cognitive()function at a
much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs.The results held true
even after the scientists accounted for the participants'overall health status.
"This works just like physical exercise,"says Francisca Then,who led the study.
"After a long run,you may feel like you're in pain,you may feel tired.But it makes you
部
fit.After a long day at work-sure,you will feel tired,but it can help your brain stay
郑
healthy.”
It's not just corporate jobs,or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit.Then
points out.A waiter's job,for example,that requires multitasking,teamwork and
decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work.And "running a
family household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协),”she says..“You
have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.
帕
Of course,our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other
翻
environmental influences or genetic factors.Still,continuing to challenge yourself mentally
and keeping your mind busy can only help.
21.Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests?
A.To assess their health status.
B.To evaluate their work habits.
C.To analyze their personality.
D.To measure their mental ability.
22.How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4?
童
A.By using an expert's words.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By referring to another study.
D.By introducing a concept.
8-1
23.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Retired Workers Can Pick Up New Skills
B.Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs
C.Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp
D.Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age
B
Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in
abundance.These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses
of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries,strawberries are highest in vitamin C,although,because of
their seeds,raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质),iron and zinc(not that
fruits have much protein).Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质).
The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into
vitamin A and which are antioxidants.As for cherries ()they are so delicious who
cares?However,they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits,frozen bananas make an excellent
base for thick,cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream".For this purpose,select ripe
bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skin and place them in plastic
bags or containers and freeze.If you like,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will
prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks,depending on their
ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer,you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced
fruit.Out comes a "soft-serve"creamy dessert,to be eaten right away.This makes a fun
activity for a children's party;they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of
the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
24.What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A.They contain protein.
B.They are high in vitamin A.
C.They have a pleasant taste.
D.They are rich in antioxidants.
25.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A.To make them smell better.
B.To keep their colour.
C.To speed up their ripening.
D.To improve their nutrition.
26.What is“a juicer”in the last paragraph?
A.A dessert.
B.A drink.
C.A container.
D.A machine.
27.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A biology textbook.
B.A health magazine.
C.A research paper.
D.A travel brochure.

C
In the atmosphere,carbon dioxide allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat
from escaping.According to a weather expert's prediction,the atmosphere will be warmer
in the year 2050 than it is today,if man continues to burn fuel at the present rate.If this
warming up took place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level
several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also,the increase in atmospheric
temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.
In the past,concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the
Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the
weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected
by only a few degrees of warming,in other words,by a warming on the scale that will
possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.Satellite pictures show
that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence suggests that a
warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of the earth,where
temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural
influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which
natural cause has the most effect on the weather?
One possibility is the behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have
studied the hot spots and"cold"spots,that is,the relatively less hot spots,on the sun.
This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure,
and consequently on wind circulation(循环).The sun is also variable(可变的)over a long
term.Its heat output (goes up and down in cycles.The latest trend being downward
is on the way.But that is only an imagination.
28.The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would
A.prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surface
B.mean a warming up in the Arctic
C.account for great changes in the climate
D.raise the temperature of the earth's surface
29.Although the fuel is greater in the northern part,temperatures there seem to be
falling.This is
A.mainly because the carbon dioxide is rising
B.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
C.due to the effect of the earth's climate
D.possibly due to the activity of the sun
30.What does the underlined word "exceeded"mean?
A.To be the same as.
B.To be slower than.
C.To be better than.
D.To be bigger than.
31.The article was written to explain
A.the greenhouse effects
B.the solar effects on the earth
C.the solar weather
D.the causes affecting weather

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common,the market is growing for
biometric(生物测量)technologies--like fingerprint scans-to keep others out of private e-
spaces.At present,these technologies are still expensive,though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(
that gets around this problem:a smart keyboard.This smart keyboard precisely
measures the cadence()with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each
key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force
of a user's typing and the time between key presses.These patterns are unique to each
person.Thus,the keyboard can determine people's identities,and by extension,whether
they should be given access to the computer it's connected to-regardless of whether
someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar
with.Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology,the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word
"touch"four times using the smart keyboard.Data collected from the device could be used
to recognize different participants based on how they typed,with very low error rates.The
researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is
mostly made of inexpensive,plastic-like parts.The team hopes to make it to market in the
near future.
32.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys.
B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system.
D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.
33.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A.Computers are much easier to operate.
B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D.Data security measures are guaranteed.
34.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A.It'll be environment-friendly.
B.It'll reach consumers soon.
C.It'll be made of plastics.
D.It'll help speed up typing.
35.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary.
B.A guidebook.
C.A novel.
D.A magazine.

Ways to Stop Doubting Yourself
What if I don't pass this test?Are my friends just hanging out with me because they
feel bad for me?
36
Stop!The self-doubt stops right here.Here are some ways to
beat the negative self-talk and start believing in yourself.
8-4
·Be aware.
The first step towards overcoming anything is to become aware of it.By becoming
aware that we are doubting ourselves,we can sooner confirm it and put a stop to it.As we
realize our self-doubt,we will get quicker at confirming and stopping it.See?37
·Take a break.
Sometimes it is our mind that goes against us.Whenever you find yourself having
doubts,take a break.
38
Ask yourself what made you get into this situation.It will
get you to realize why you started it in the first place.
39
Too often we determine how we feel about ourselves according to what other people
feel about us.Our self-worth is just dependent upon what we think of ourselves.So we
must break free from the chains that tell us our self-worth is recognized by other people.
·Find support..
40 Find support through friends and read inspirational books.Sometimes we
all need to hear something that will get us moving again.We also need to communicate with
others who understand us.
A.Take it easy.
B.Free yourself.
C.Give yourself time to think.
D.It's not always easy doing things alone.
E.This is already a step in the right direction.
F.What if I never figure out my life's purpose?
G.Because once you give up,no one can help you.

A young man had bought an old house that was in bad shape,but he and his wife
believed they could restore it.They immediately went to work.Their goal was to have the
old building look best for the Christmas Eve get-together.
Just two days before Christmas,however,a storm swept through the area,leaving a
hole in the wall of the house.There was obviously no time to repair the damage before
Christmas.The sad couple attended local auction (that afternoon.One of the items
put up for bids (was an old gold-and-ivory-colored tablecloth.Seized by an
inspiration,the young man was the highest bidder at $6.50.His idea was to hang the cloth
to cover the ragged hole.
On the day before Christmas,it was snowy.As the young man unlocked the house
door,he noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop.He knew the bus wouldn't be there
within at least half an hour,so he invited her inside to keep warm.
When the old woman walked in and saw the tablecloth,she rushed at it and said
excitedly,"It's mine.It is my tablecloth."She told the surprised man its history and even

showed him her name in one corner of the tablecloth.She and her husband had once lived in
Vienna,Austria,and their village was hit by a deadly disease.So they decided to flee to
Switzerland,but her husband told her to leave first,saying he had something urgent to deal
with.A few days later,it was reported that the bus her husband took fell off the cliff and he
was never to be found.Her husband was believed to have died.Touched by her story,the
young man asked about her address,planning to send the tablecloth to her after Christmas.
As the bus came,she left.
When the Christmas Eve came,the man invited his friends to come to his house to
enjoy the dinner together.In the candlelight of the Christmas Eve,the tablecloth looked
even more beautiful.As the man's friends left the house,they thanked the man for his
arrangement and mentioned how beautiful the house looked.
Paragraph 1:
One older gentleman stayed,admiring the tablecloth.
Paragraph 2:
The young man drove the old man to that old woman's home.
