You will spend hours at the gym training your body, but do you ever think about training your brain? Here are four ways to keep your brain mentally (腦力上地) active and healthy.
Play games
Your brain is a muscle just like the ones in the rest of your body. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. For example, doing a crossword puzzle (縱橫填字游戲) once a day is a good way to give the brain the exercise it needs. This kind of puzzle is good at training different areas of the brain. But remember that when doing this puzzle, you should gradually increase the complexity (復(fù)雜度); otherwise, it will become repetitive (重復(fù)乏味的) and stop being mentally challenging.
Talk aloud
Although it might sound strange to you, talking aloud is a great way to boost your memory. A good exercise to try is counting to 99 in threes as fast as you can.
Be a team leader
If you find you can do your work very easily, you should find a new task. It is important that your job should be mentally challenging. Complex jobs are often more challenging and make the brain work a little harder.
Learn a language
A study found that, compared with those who could speak only one language, the people who could speak two languages had a slower rate of cognitive (認(rèn)知能力) decrease. Learning a new language is very challenging and it makes sure that different areas of the brain have their lights on.
小題1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Why you should train your brain.
B．How to be a good team leader.
C．Training the brain is more important than training the body.
D．How to make your brain healthy and work actively.
小題2:Which word can replace the word "boost" in the third paragraph?
A．Change.B．Promote. C．Decrease.D．Lose.
小題3:We should gradually increase the complexity when doing crossword puzzles because ______.
A．if we don’t use our brain, we will lose it
B．we should make our brain face different challenges
C．our brain is a muscle like other parts in our bodies
D．these puzzles can work on different areas of the brain
小題4:Which group of people have a slower rate of cognitive decrease?
A．Those who don’t often do crossword puzzles.
B．Those who don’t often count to 99 in threes.
C．Those who do their work very easily.
D．Those who can speak more than one language.

Not long ago the movie 2012 came into screen. The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster.  Luckily, they are just the director' s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either.
Take my own experience in Alaska as an example. Once I took a trip to the glacier. Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years.  They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when I finally saw melting glaciers(融化的冰川). My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second.
Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact. Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that’s about the population of the entire Italy. According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water.
Our fortune is in our own hands. It depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for actions to be taken right now. Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water. Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place. It might cost more time for now, but it' s to the benefit of a permanent future. Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them.
In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. The earth does not belong to us. On the contrary, we belong to the earth. Please bear in mind that the earth is our home. It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming reality.
小題1: Why does the author talk about the movie 2012 in the passage ?
A．To give example.B．To lead into the topic.
C．To make prediction.D．To provide the evidence.
小題2:How did the author feel when he took a trip to the glacier?
A．Worried.B．Puzzled.C．Scared.D．Bored.
小題3:It can be inferred from the third paragraph that________  .
A．56 million people in Italy have been killed owing to the rising sea level
B．Some islands and coastal cities will be drowned in water by the year of 2050
C．Human being will be in danger if we don't take actions to prevent the global warming
D．It is certain that what happened in the movie 2012 will come into reality
小題4:According to the passage, you are advised to ________.
A．drive our own private cars instead of taking buses to some place
B．recycle everything that is used
C．go to see the movie 2012 at once
D．work together to take good care of our planet
小題5: What does the author mean by saying "small drops of water make a big ocean"?
A．Think twice before taking action.
B．It's our duty to protect the ocean.
C．Everyone together can make a difference.
D．It's important to save every drop of water.

Technology: Taking the good without the bad?
Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives．This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlyi ng them．There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding．We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous．
The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology （納米技術(shù)）, artificial intelligence and biotechnology．The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt．But they are going to be very, very dangerous．I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence．I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain．Target date is 2010．The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator（終結(jié)者） is that the people win．If you're fighting against technology w hich is 50,000 million times smarter than you, you probably will not win．
Nanotechnology．We've all heard of the grey glue problem, that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue．And certainly in biotechnology, we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT．Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek（星際迷航）．And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much．
Eventually these technologies will become routine．That’s a threat to humanity．I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down．So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools．The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger．I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed．
小題1:From the text, we know that the author’s greatest concern is         ．
A．our lack of technological understanding of the process involved
B．our lack of technological capability
C．creating technology without really understanding the basic science
D．Our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create
小題2:It can be inferred from the text that the author         ．
A．thinks people overvalue the capabilities of technology
B．is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positively
C．thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriously
D．believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically
小題3:Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win?
A．Because the power of the technology is exaggerated（夸大）．
B．Because the strength of the machines is much greater．
C．Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans．
D．Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle．

No satisfactory way exists to explain how to form a good idea. You think about a problem until you're tired, forget it, maybe sleep on it, and then flash! When you aren't thinking about it, suddenly the answer arrives as a gift from the gods.
Of course, all ideas don't occur like that but so many do, particularly the most important ones. They burst into the mind, glowing with the heat of creation. How they do it is a mystery but they must come from somewhere. Let's assume they come from the "unconscious." This is reasonable, for psychologists use this term to describe mental processes which are unknown to the individual. Creative thought depends on what was unknown becoming known.
All of us have experienced this sudden arrival of a new idea, but it is easiest to examine it in the great creative personalities, many of whom experienced it in an intensified form and have written it down in their life stories and letters. One can draw examples from genius in any field, from religion, philosophy, and literature to art and music, even in mathematics, science, and technical invention, although these are often thought to depend only on logic and experiment. All truly creative activities depend in some degree on these signals from the unconscious, and the more highly insightful the person is, the sharper and more dramatic the signals become.
A type of creative experience is illustrated by the dreams which came to Descartes at the age of twenty-three and determined his life path. Descartes had unsuccessfully searched for certainty, first in the world of books, and then in the world of men. Then in a dream on November 10, 1619, he made the significant discovery that he could only find certainty in his own thoughts, cogito ergo sum ("I think; therefore, I exist"). This dream filled him with intense religious enthusiasm.
Descartes' experience is representative of countless others in every field of culture. The unconscious is certainly the source of instinctive activity. But in creative thought the unconscious is responsible for the production of new organized forms from relatively disorganized elements.
小題1:Good ideas come from ________according to the writer.
A．the unconsciousB．creative activitiesC．dreamsD．logic and experiments
小題2:The underlined word “these” (paragraph 3) probably refers to __________.
A．philosophy, music, mathematics and science
B．religion, philosophy, literature, art and music
C．mathematics, science, and technical invention
D．both B and C
小題3:What point can we see in the example of Descartes ?
A．Dreams are the sources of instinctive activities.
B．Dreams sometimes contribute to important discoveries.
C．Geniuses have creative thoughts in their dreams.
D．Important discoveries are always made in dreams.
小題4: The best title for this passage may be __________.
A．The Unknown Becoming KnownB．The Role of Dreams
C．The Unconscious and Creative ActivitiesD．Birth of Bright Ideas

Every time you go shopping, the vegetables and fruit look so tempting that you wish you could buy all of them. Some people are lucky and can grow the fruit and vegetables in the gardens that they have. While getting fresh vegetables, they can also achieve great cost cutting.

If you have had a really good crop of mushrooms, then you can even store them. Ideally you should use the white variety of the mushrooms.

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome things they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. “Oh, dear!” I cried, “ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched(可憐的) creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure (從眾心理) at some point. Every day, in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers. It can be as subtle (微妙的) as being persuaded to be late for class or as extreme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme, peer pressure can have damaging, sometimes life changing, and even serious results.
“Teens don’t often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,” said Terri Price, a researcher. “Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in”. Peer pressure has always been part of teen life, but teens experience it differently than their former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have increased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.
Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. “Listen to your instinct （直覺） , which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong, then most likely it is. ”says Price.
Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. Many teens are influenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities (不安全感). This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support, causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.
Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. People can say, “Just say no,” but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.
小題1:The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to                .
A．the InternetB．teen life
C．peer pressureD．the fear of not fitting in
小題2:You can know whether a teen suffers peer pressure by watching            .
A．whether he often surfs the Internet
B．whether he can get security
C．whether it is subtle or extreme
D．whether he feels comfortable with it
小題3:Why are teens easily influenced by peer pressure?
A．Because they don’t have the feeling of safety.
B．Because they are afraid of fitting in or being accepted.
C．Because they need support for their health.
D．Because they have nobody to turn to when in trouble.
小題4:According to the passage, we can know that dealing with peer pressure is        
A．easy B．hard C．a(chǎn) new topicD．a(chǎn)n impossible task
