16.Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it?Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power?Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic(邏輯)behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand.Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power."
Try this experiment.Explain how you'll increase your brain power,even if you have no idea how right now.Just start with anything,and create an explanation.For example,start with"I'll learn chess''or"I'll read an article on the mind every week."Explain how that will help.You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan,and if you actually do this you'll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notice.You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you'll working on a big project,you'll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic?Write a book about it.That's an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better.Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem,why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and  you're half-way there.
Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often,they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

15.It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.I didn't think there would be any patients,sighing about having to work on Christmas.Just then five people showed up at my desk,a pale woman and four small children.
"Are you all sick?"I asked doubtfully.
"Yes."she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems,things got a little puzzling.Two of the children had headaches,but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still.Two children had earaches,but only one could tell me which ear was affected.The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong,but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her.She responded."Take your time;it's warm here."
I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family.No address---they Were homeless.The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family sitting close to each other by the Christmas tree.The little one was pointing at the television and the oldest one was looking at the decorations on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses'station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room.The nurses,complaining about working on Christmas,turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas.The team went into action,much as we do when there's a medical emergency.Only this one was a Christmas emergency.
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day,so we fetched that meal and prepared a large meal for our Christmas guests.Our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later,as the family walked to the door to leave,the four-year-old came running back,gave me a hug and whispered,"Thanks for being our angels today."
56.From the descriptions of the family's presenting problems,the writer learned thatC.
A.one of the children had a language problem
B.the mother caught a bad cold
C.they were pretending to be sick
D.they got all infectious disease

B.listening to their descriptions of problems
C.observing their abnormal body language
D.checking their registered information

A.Careful and warmhearted    
B.Hardworking and outgoing
C.Serious and experienced     
D.Loving and forgiving
59.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?D

11."How call I obtain more drugs?"I cried."I can't live without the help of drugs!''.You see,I was only 14 years of age when someone said to me,"Here,smoke this!It will make you feel good."So that is how my habit of d rug-taking began.
Soon I felt I could not live without more and more drugs.So I found I needed more and more money to buy drugs.So I began to steal things from my family and from shops.Then in the street I pointed my gun at people,saying,"Give me your money,or I will shoot you!"
I lost all my friends.My family also said,"Get out of this house and never return here!"I then realized the truth-drugs were killing me."Unless someone told me how to escape from the desire for drugs,I will soon be dead,"I said.
Then one day,I read in a paper,"We help drug-takers!''I decided,"I will go and see what these people think they can do for me."So I stayed at their meeting place for seven months.But they failed.They did not take the desire for drugs from me.
Then one day,I read something in the magazine called"La Paloma".I read how people said,"We could not escape from the desire for drugs.But now we have freedom.God gave us power to escape this desire.God gives us the power of the spirit when we believe what Jesus Christ obtained for us by dying for us."SO I decided,"I will go to this Betel meeting place as reported in‘La Paloma'.I will see if they can help me."
Now I found these Betel people never left me alone.Yes,someone was always there with me day and night.Then one day I cried out to God,"God,please help me!"I know God heard my cry.I found I now had power to escape the desire for drugs.
At last I am free from the desire for drugs.I have found real peace of mind.I now enjoy life and help other people to overcome their d rug problem.

1.Many people think it is safe to use a cell phone while they are driving.Yet Scores of studies suggest that real multitaskers-those who can carry out multiple (多個的) tasks equally well,make up just 2 percent of the population.More surprisingly,the so-called"supertaskers"actually have differently structured brains to the other 98 percent.
The brain areas that make supertaskers differ from the rest of the population are the same parts that are most different between humans and nonhuman primates (靈長類),according to David Strayer,director of the applied cognition lab at the University of Utah.Scientists are unsure of the reason why some brains are different.In fact,we could all benefit from doing just one task at once.
In most of us,scientists have located a"bottleneck in the brain"that may explain why we find it hard to do two things at once.
The problem appears to be caused by a logjam of nerve messages.Faced with two almost simultaneous (同時的) tasks less than 300 milliseconds apart,the brain's ability to deal with the second one slows down.The neural (神經(jīng)的) response to the second task was postponed until the response to the first was completed.This means that with e-mails,phone calls,text messages and online social media all competing for our attention,often against a background of television,radio or music,our brains can reach information overload.
Scientists made the discovery after scanning the brains of volunteers attempting to multitask on a computer.The task was deliberately designed to involve the use of different senses and motorresponses.
Dr Rene Marois,one of the neuroscientists who carried out the experiment at Vanderbilt University in Nashville,Tennessee,said:"Our research offers neurological evidence that the brain cannot effectively do two things at once."The next step,the neuroscientists say,is finding out"why these areas cannot process two tasks at once."
66.How many people can drive equally well while using a cell phone?C
A.Nobody.B.Everybody.C.2 in 100.D.98 in 100.
67.The researchers tried to find out the difference betweenBbrain structures.
A.different supertaskers'
B.supertaskers'and ordinary people's
C.humans'and nonhuman primates'
D.supertaskers'and nonhuman primates'
68.We can infer from the article that the brain takes 300 milliseconds toA.
A.make a neural response               B.get ready for a response
C.complete a task                      D.finish two tasks
69.If weD,our brains may reach information overload.
A.serf the Internet after listening to music
B.use a cell phone against a background of television
C.complete all kinds of tasks within the same day
D.have lots of tasks queuing for responses
70.From the dictionary explanations,choose one for the underlined word"motor"in Paragraph 5.C

8.It turns out that nodding off in class may not be such a bad idea after all,as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new material is the best way to remember it.
According to US lead author Jessica Payne,a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana,nodding off after learning something new is like"telling"the sleeping brain what to remember.
Along with colleagues,she studied 207students who habitually slept for at least six hours per night.Participants were casually selected to study declarative (陳述的),semantically (語義上) related or unrelated word pairs at 9am or 9pm,and returned for testing 30minutes,12hours or 24ours later.
Declarative memory refers to the ability to remember facts and events with awareness,and can be broken down into episodic memory (memory for events) and semantic memory (memory for facts about the world).People routinely use both types of memory every day-recalling where we parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be addressed.
At the 12-hour retest,memory overall was better following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness.
At the 24-hour retest,with all subjects having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness,subjects'memories were better when sleep occurred shortly after learning,rather than following a full day of wakefulness.
"Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory.What's new about this study is that we tried to shine light on sleep's influence on both types of declarative memory by studying semantically unrelated and related word pairs,"Payne said.
"Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory,this means that it would be a good thing to practise any information you need to remember just before going to bed.In some sense,you may be'telling'the sleeping brain what to remember."

67.The research led by Jessica Payre tries toB.
A.encourage students to nod off in class
B.explain the influence of sleep on memory
C.show students ways to improve memory
D.introduce students two types of memory
68.Which of the following can be an example of episodic memory?D
A.Light travels faster than sound.    B.Beijing is the capital of China.
C.π=3.1415926…D.Tom attended a friend's party.
69.The 24-hour retest shows that subjects'memories were better followingC.
A.a(chǎn) full day of sleep                           B.a(chǎn) full day of wakefulness
C.a(chǎn) sleep shortly after learning                D.a(chǎn) night of sleep after learning
70.What can we infer from the text?C
A.Nodding off in class is very uncommon.
B.People are better at remembering events than facts.
C.Reciting new English words before going to bed may help.
D.The longer sleep we have,the better memory we will have.
