Thomas Edison was one of the most successful inventors the world has ever seen.
But people found that although Edison was good at inventing new things, he was a poor fisherman. He used to spend an hour almost every day sitting at the side of a river and fish. He always fished all alone by himself.
People asked Edison, “Why are you so crazy about fishing when you are so bad at it?” His answer was, “I really never caught ant fish because I have never used any bait (诱饵).” Another question followed, “Why would you fish without bait?” Edison answered, “Because when you fish without bait, people don't disturb you and neither do the fish
Sometimes the world's best inventor was the world's worst fisherman. In fact, because Edison was the world's worst fisherman, he could become the world's greatest inventor.
Are you setting aside some time for yourself to think? Here are some ideas for you:
Slowing down and taking long showers is a good idea.

Long walks are good too.
Afternoon naps have been proved to improve creativity.
A. But he never caught any fish.
B. It provides me my best time to think.
C. So is listening to some soft classical music.
D. In all, Edison has thousands of inventions.
E. He was asked the reason behind him being a fisherman.
F. To make your brain work better, you need to take a rest.
G. Set aside 15-20 minutes per day so that you can do nothing.

【答案】D;A;B;F;C
【解析】本文通过爱迪生在钓鱼时给自己思考时间的例子,告诉我们要给自己留出时间去思考。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句讲爱迪生是世界上最成功的发明家,D项:爱迪生一共有几千项发明,是对上句的补充说明,所以答案是D.
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲爱迪生其实是一个贫穷的渔民,整天独自在河边钓鱼。A项:但是他从来钓不到鱼,与上句连接表示结果,与下文I really never caught any fish意思一致,所以答案是A.
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文讲爱迪生钓鱼从不放诱饵,从来钓不到鱼。这样其他人和鱼都不会打扰我,给我最好的时间思考。B项表达了此意,所以答案是B.
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句:你给自己留出一些时间思考吗?下文提了几点建议,F项:为了让你的大脑运转得更好,你需要休息一下。承上启下,所以答案是F.
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。与其它休息措施并列,C项:听一些柔和的古典音乐,也是帮助休息后思考的措施之一,所以答案是C.

Our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30.1 used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped,but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster.“Your brain is a learning machine,”says Dr.Merzenich from University of California.2 (give) the right tools,we can train our acts as they did when we were young.All that 3(require) is the practice designed just for this purpose: a few exercises for 4mind.

Dr.Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process in5 the brain deals with information.Since much of the data we receive comes through speech,the Bain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to improve speed and accuracy.

Over the course of the training,the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds-between“dog” and “bog”,for example-6an increasingly faster speed.It’s a bit like a tennis instructor,says Dr.Merzenich,hitting balls at you faster and 7(fast) to keep you challenged.You may start out slow,but before long you’re pretty quick.

The biggest finding in brain research in the last decade is that the brain at any age is highly plastic.8 you ask your brain to learn,it will learn.And it may speed up in the process.

To keep your brain young and plastic,you can do one of a million new 9 (activity) that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge,doing crossword puzzles,learning a new language…“When it comes to10(prevent) aging,you really do‘use it or lose it’”,says Barbara Sahakian ,a professor at Cambridage University.
