Read a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.

You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics.

Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”

When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you from going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!

Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability. After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts.

And when you read, make sure you read so wide because the more you read, the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.

1.According to the author, what should students do in terms of reading?

A. They needn’t read unless the exams come.

B. They should read books about intelligence.

C. They must read about politics when their major is medicine.

D. They should read as wide as possible.

2.The underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. interested B. many-sidedC. contentD. confident

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Increase your ability for reading

B. Read wide and improve your vocabulary

C. Reading improves your intelligence

D. Reading makes you a leader tomorrow

4.What is the benefit of knowing more words?

A. You will get used to referring to the dictionary when meeting with new words.

B. You will have less difficulty expressing your opinions.

C. Vocabulary will improve your creativity.

D. You can pass your exams with ease.

Easy ways to get healthy

I always hate the first few weeks of the new year, mostly because I-m sick to death of people in commercials who are all. "Let's diet ! It's a new year! "

You can always choose to switch it up! 1.Here are some simple ways to get your healthy on all year around.

Switch out bad habits for good ones. 2.Do something as simple as swapping nighttime cookies for nighttime vitamins.

Catch some sleep. One of the most important things we can do for our minds and bodies is to make sure. we're getting enough sleep on a regular schedule. 3.

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（癡呆） or Alzheimer's．Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．

The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers（觸發(fā)器） in the home that cause them to perform tasks．The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly．

The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled．The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia．Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition．By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．

Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine．" Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest．People don't need to communicate verbally （言語(yǔ)地） but they can still interact．You can have a speechless bond．"

Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine．If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it．The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people．"
