    Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

    　　Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit－and that can be a very annoying thing．　　1　　 Read on for some techniques worth trying．

    　　1．　　2　　

    　　People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease(老年性痴呆症), according to a recent study．　　3　　 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do．There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better．In other words, keep your brain looking forward．

    　　2．Go for a walk．

    　　Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖)levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels．In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain．　　4　　

    　　3．Learn something new．

    　　Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards．A study found that mental stimulation limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind．But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time．　　5　　 Or you can just go dancing with your friends．

    A．Focus on the future．

    B．This can be especially harmful to the aged．

    C．It should be something like learning gardening．

    D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading．

    E．But don't worry if our schedule isn't filled with life-changing events．

    F．Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments．

    G．In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain．

    　　Many things about language are a mystery(谜), and many will always remain so．But some things we do know．

    　　First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort．There is no race(种族)of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother．Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language．

    　　Second, there is no such thing as a primitive(原始的)language．There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized(不开化的，落后的), but the languages they speak are not primitive．In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing．

    　　This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated．Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate．Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises．Study has proved this to be nonsense(胡说，没有根据的话)．There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old．They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive five than English and Greek．

    　　A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate．That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language．

    　　Finally, we know that language changes．It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones．This is easy to understand if we look backward in time．Change goes on in all aspects of language．Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive(广泛的)and may occur very rapidly．Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language．

    (1)

    第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。

    Governors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our science teaching of non-scientists, in school and college, has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast(自夸), "I never did understand science." Even those students who arrive at colleges with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.

    The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student's understand but simply require him to put the numbers in the right formula(公式). Neither type of courses in school or college seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much as great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to agreement with science and an eagerness of the way scientists work. Given these it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.

    56. One of the reasons that cause mistaken ideas of science is due to _______.

    A. a mistaken picture in students' mind       

    B. the unscientific way of teaching of science

    C. the fact that students fail to see the influence of science

    D. the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science

    57. According to the passage, we can safely say that the subject of the passage is ______.

    A. need for good science teaching              

    B. young people should form a correct attitude to science

    C. students must know what science is and how scientists work and think

    D. every person, including governors, lawyers and business leaders should study science

    58. A good course of science is ______.

    A. to provide students with all kinds of information

    B. to teach students to do things according to formulas

    C. to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude to science

    D. to encourage students to make themselves masters of knowledge

    59. People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because ______.

    A. scientists are great persons                           

    B. they owe much to scientists' contributions

    C. they can be affected by scientists when they are together

    D. scientists make discoveries and help people live a more comfortable and safer life
