         Do you want to improve your memory? Are you struggling to remember names and faces as you get
    older? Try picking up the phone and speaking to someone. Scientists have found that holding a simple
    conversation could be just as effective as playing popular "brain-training" games that have reproduced a
    multi-million pound industry.
         Researchers compared 36 studies on memory exercises performed between 1970 and 2007. Some
    studies suggested both healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (轻度认知缺陷)
    could remember words better after some memory training.
    However, other studies found this improvement was matched by those who were asked to hold a
    discussion about art.
         The finding that social interaction could be just as effective at keeping memory loss from getting worse
    comes after Age Concern warned more than a million people aged over 65 living alone in their own
    homes. The charity warned solitary lifestyles were a 'silent disease' spreading through the nation quickly.
         Dr. Martin said most people experienced a cognitive decline (下降) in old age. This can include
    memory loss and inability to plan, pay close attention or perform tasks as quickly as before. The normal
    rate of decline seems to speed up in some people, leading to a condition called mild cognitive impairment, which some researchers see as a reason for developing mental diseases later in life.
         Although several studies have suggested that brain-training exercises could delay signs of cognitive
    decline, the studies and the types of training have many different kinds. The findings do not mean that
    longer, more intense or different exercises might not be effective, but that those which have been reported
    thus far have only limited effect.
         Dr. Martin concluded researchers needed to improve the way they used their studies to eventually
    determine ways of preventing cognitive decline in old age.
    1. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1?
    A. People should play more "brain-training" games.
    B. Training has a great effect on our health.
    C. Having conversation can improve memory.
    D. People have no ways to improve memory.
    2. What does the underlined word "solitary" probably mean?
    A. Unhealthy.
    B. Alone.
    C. Lacking patience.
    D. Enjoying being old.
    3.  Mild cognitive impairment can cause people to _______.
    A. have mental diseases
    B. develop physical diseases
    C. worry about the coming of old age
    D. escape from the reality in life
    4. What message can be implied in the passage?
    A. Most people suffer from memory loss.
    B. There are more social problems to be settled at present.
    C. No one can prevent old age from coming.
    D. Whether "brain-training" exercises have a great effect on memory is not sure.
    5. The passage would be of great help to ______.
    A. children
    B. housewives
    C. elderly people
    D. bad-tempered people
    1-5: CBADC

       Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu---but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.

       Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.

       Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different groups of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms(症状) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.

       Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly(年长的), who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely（明显地）worth it.

       If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues(手巾纸) carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drops of liquids blown(喷) out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting(令人作呕), eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!

    In paragraph 4, we learn that ________.

        A. flu injection can cause death            B. most old people die from flu

        C. flu can kill old people easily           D. flu is most common in summer

    Dealing with used tissues properly(正确地) is important because ________.

        A. it helps keep your classroom tidy        B. it prevents the spread of colds and flu

            C. people hate picking up dirty tissues     D. picking up lots of tissues is hard work

    Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

        A. Both colds and flu last the same time.   

    B. Both colds and flu can be prevented by injection.   

    C. Both colds and flu are caused by the same viruses.

    D. Both colds and flu have an aching symptom.

    Which is probably the best title for the passage?

        A. Colds and Flu               B. The Different Symptoms of a Cold and Flu

        C. Prevention Is Better Than Cure

    D. Cover Your Nose and Mouth When Sneezing

         Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some exports say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
         "I think we are knowing at the door of immortality (永生)." said Michael Zey, a Montclair State
    University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075____________________________ and that's  a conservative estimate (保守估计的).”
         At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor and author at New Jersey Medical
    School in Newwark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely
    that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years." He said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that
    people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years." 
         However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubted about it and say the human body is just
    not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.  
         Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass
    120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?"     said Leonard Poon, director of the University of George Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in
    good health at all."

          How do you repair a broken friendship?I'll give you several tips below.
          To begin with,a real friend is a treasure (财富)．You don't throw a friend away because your feelings got hurt or you are unwilling to discuss a misunderstanding.Don't let senselss things destroy your friendship.To me,if it's worth the fight,it is worth the sacrifice (牺牲)．If you can't sacrifice to keep the friendship,
    then maybe it isn't true friendship.
          Be willing to apologize even if the problem isn't your fault.The friendship is larger than who is at fault.If you can heal the friendship with an apology,then do so.Don't wait for your friends to realize how wrong
    they are,or even to admit their share of guilt.Go to them.Make the first move.Raise the white flag first.

          Remind each other that the friendship is more important.A simple reminder of how special the
    friendship is will go a long way to soften a hard heart.Be willing to take the higher ground.I have a policy in my marriage that if there is a disagreement in values,we always take the higher one.If you can't come up to your friend's level,you will begin to estrange him.I feel that the friendship is more important than my
