A strong memory depends on the health and vitality (活力) of your brain. They say that youcan’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientistshave discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true.
Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requiresyou to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’llbe able to process and remember information.
Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important forbrain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brainstay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk fordisorders that lead to memory loss.
Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount ofsleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best.Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies.Over time, stress destroys braincells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.
Have a laugh. That holds true for the brain and the memory,as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specificareas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.
Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. Youprobably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy”fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet canalso improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’salso what you don’t eat.
A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.
B. Play games with memory.
C. Laughter is the best medicine.
D. But oversleeping is not good for yourbrain.
E. Even skipping a few hours makes adifference!
F. You have to shake things up from timeto time!
G. The human brain has an astonishingability to adapt and change.

【答案】G;F;E;C;A
【解析】本文討論的是增強大腦記憶力。就像鍛煉身體一樣,大腦也是可以通過鍛煉變得更強大。 (1)G 根據(jù)上文提到They say that you can’tteach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists havediscovered that this old saying simply isn’t true他們說老人很難適應(yīng)新的事物,當(dāng)提到大腦時,科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)這個諺語是不對的,故選G人類的大腦有令人吃驚的接受和改變的能力;(2)F 根據(jù)上文提到The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be ableto process and remember information.你用得越多,你就能記得更多的內(nèi)容,故選F你需要時不時來復(fù)習(xí); (3)E根據(jù)上文提到There is a big difference between the amount of sleep youcan get by on and the amount you need to function at your best足夠的睡覺是十分重要的,故選E甚至是跳躍一段時間是有重要的; (4)C 根據(jù)標(biāo)題Have a laugh大笑,故選C笑是最好的良藥。 (5)A 根據(jù)下文提到Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain身體需要能量,大腦也需要,故選A吃一些補腦食物,故選A項。

How to SurviveExam Stress
Exam time is one of the most stressful in school, whether it is highschool, college or graduate school. Even the best students feel the pressure. The first sign of a problem while preparing for an exam isworry. If we can get rid of worries, or at leastcontrol them, then we’re in a much better position to do well on our tests. Take the following steps to survive examstress and increase your overall performance as a result.
What causes youanxiety when you are studying? Too much noise? Then move to a quieter place.Delayed work? Catch up with your studies a couple nights before. That way youcan save the final night before the exam to review and get a good night ofsleep.
The second way to deal with worry is to replace thoughts.Suppose you wake up at three in the morning and you’re worried about an exam.What do you do? Doing something productive might allow you tosleep better when you finally do go back to bed.
Another way tore place negative thoughts is to do something physically active. Work out. Takea quick walk or a nice run. For example, I might worry about the examhaving surprise questions that I’m not prepared to answer. But I can put thosethoughts aside by reminding myself that I’ve taken many exams and I’ve handledsurprise questions before.
The third option isto treat the symptoms. Keepthings in perspective. Think of one final exam that causes you the mostanxiety. Now think of the worst thing that could happen. If you’ve prepared,then likely the worst grade you could get is a C. And, if you’ve been applyingwhat we’ve been talking about, then you’ll likely do no worse than a B.
A. How bad is thatreally?
B. The first is to delete the causes.
C. Another idea isto think positive thoughts.
D. How aboutgetting up and studying for an hour?
F. What we should do is to thinkpositively and get rid of it.
G. So we are supposed to make our effortto improve our surroundings.
