15.Make Your Brain Smarter
You know that eating a proper diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong.But did you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter?Studies show that when the brain is forced to do something new,it creates new neural (神经的) pathways.(31)C
●Limit your TV viewing.
Watching an average TV show requires very little brain power and brings the same result as neglecting (忽视) physical exercise.(32)GIf you watch TV,choose something educational and informative.
●Use your non-dominant (非支配的) hand.
If you are right-handed,use your left hand for everyday activities,or use your right hand if you are left-handed.Doing familiar things in a new way will cause your brain to create new neural networks.Brushing our teeth is something we do daily.(33)EBut maybe we should.Experts suggest that we can force the brain to work by changing things up and working with our non-dominant hand.So the next time you brush your teeth,open the tube,apply your toothpaste and brush with the opposite hand.
●(34)A
Jump in the shower and shut your eyes.Even if you drop the soap---that's okay.(35)DSearching for the soap while feeling the textures (质地) with your eyes closed works.Using your fingers to make fine distinctions between objects or textures can reconnect the brain areas involved in touch,suggests Larry Katz,a professor of neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center and author.
A.Shower with your eyes closed.
B.Smart people rarely follow a set pattern.
C.The more pathways you have,the smarter you will be.
D.Use your different senses.
E.We really don't put that much thought into it.
F.Put your brain to best use.
G.Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do.
分析 合理饮食和锻炼能使身体健康强壮,但你知道使你的大脑更健康聪明的方法吗?下面是使大脑更聪明的七步骤:限制看电视,旅行,学习一门外语,经常阅读,购物时计算,使用劣势手,微信.
解答 31---35 CGEAD
31.C 上下文语境.根据前句Studies show that when the brain is forced to do something new,it creates new neural (神经的) pathways可知当大脑受到强迫时,会产生新的神经路径,越多你就越聪明,故选C.
32.G 上下文语境.标题Limit your TV viewing.建议我们要少看电视,看电视就像忽视锻炼一样,结果就是大脑虚弱,故选G.
33.E上下文语境.根据第一句话If you are right-handed,use your left hand for everyday activities,or use your right hand if you are left-handed可知,如果你是右手的话,可以使用左手来做事情,相反,如果你是左撇子,可以使用右手,我们真的可能没有想过这样做,但是我们应该试试,故选E.
34.A上下文语境.根据第一句话Jump in the shower and shut your eyes.建议我们要闭上眼睛,洗澡,故选A.
35.D 上下文语境.根据Searching for the soap while feeling the textures (质地) with your eyes closed works.Using your fingers to make…可知,建议我们通过感觉来找肥皂,或者使用手指来感受区别,建议我们多多使用其他的感官,故选D.
