【题目】 Your brain isn’t a muscle, but you can treat it like one
Many people focus on physical fitness, but few know that brain fitness is also something you can work on. In fact, you can exercise your brain as often as you do to your arms or legs-and the results can be positive and empowering.
To improve your brain, you can’t simply repeat the same exercises over and over. Just as lifting a two-pound weight will stop challenging you, so will repetitive exercises such as crosswords or Sudoku. Once you master easy exercises, you must move on to harder ones in order to push your brain-like your muscles-to a new level.
The science behind brain training
Scientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. Since studies have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain training. The most popular of these brain training products is made by the San Francisco-based Lumosity. Lumosity’s scientists with an experienced team of game designers have developed a fun,effective online brain training program that measures, tracks, and adapts to your progress, so you’ll always be challenged.
Promising studies on the effects of brain training
In a 2013 Stanford study, a treatment group of 21 breast cancer survivors used 12 weeks of Lumosity training to work on processing speed, mental flexibility, and working memory tasks. On average, those who trained improved on tests of these abilities, compared to a group that did not train with Lumosity.
There is even some evidence suggesting that Lumosity may be beneficial to normal, healthy adults. In a 2011 study by Lumosity and San Francisco State University researchers. 13 people who trained over 5 weeks improved working memory scores by 10%and attention scores by 20%.
Brain training is designed to meet real-life needs
The design of brain train ing is targeted at real-life benefits instead of improving game scores. Better attention, for example, can mean greater focus in the classroom or at an important business meeting. With improved processing speed, you might react and adapt faster to the demands of a busy life. And a better memory could mean stronger, longer relationships with the people closest to you.
【1】We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. brain training speeds up the recovery of breast cancer
B. your brain is like a muscle because it gives you power
C. people’s mental abilities can’t develop after they grow up
D. Lumosity can measure, track and suit your level as you improve
【2】Which skill may brain training not improve?
A. Better attention.
C. Better writing skills.
B. A better memory.
D. Higher processing speed.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. People should care more about physical health instead of mental health.
B. Brain training has been proved effective through scientific researches.
C. A bad memory is the only reason for weak relationships with people.
D. Playing online games is the best way of brain training.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Brain Training Makes a Difference
B. Train Your Brain like a Muscle
C. Lumosity, Your Best Choice
D. How to Train Your Brain

【题目】There is an English saying: “【1】.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 【2】.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.【3】If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.【4】.
【5】They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A. Laughter can prolong one’s life
B. Laughter is the best medicine
C. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health
D. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice
E. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet
F. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh
G. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain

【题目】We know that the earth has become warmer over the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group established by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program, reports that the average surface temperature of the earth has increased during the twentieth century by 0.6°+0.2°C.(The+0.2°C means that the increase might be as small as 0.4°C or as great as 0.8°C). This may seem like a small shift, but although regional and short—term temperatures do fluctuate(变动) over a wide range, global temperatures are generally quite stable. In fact, the difference between today’s average global temperature and the average global temperature during the last Ice Age is only about 5 degrees C. Indeed, it’s warmer today around the world than at any time during the past 1,000years, and the warmest years of the previous century have occurred within the past decade.
We also know that human activities—primarily the burning of fossil fuels—have increased the greenhouse gas content of the earth’s atmosphere significantly over the same period. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important greenhouse gases, which trap heat near the planet’s surface.
The vast majority of climate researchers agree with these overall findings. The scientific disagreements that do still exist primarily concern detailed aspects of the processes that make up these largely accepted general themes.
You can think of this website as a window into the world of scientific research. In this primer, you’ll find a general discussion of the physical processes underlying the earth’s climate, an outline of the kinds of data that may shed light on how the climate is changing—and the role of human activity in these changes—and a description a some of the questions and uncertainties that researchers continue to explore. This primer is organized into four interconnected sections: the Atmosphere; the Hydrosphere(水圈); the Cryosphere(低温层); and the Biosphere(生物层).
【1】We know from the text that “IPCC”___.
A. engages in the climate and changes about the earth.
B. is a group by scientists who like to walk around the moon
C. works in the World Meteorological Organization
D. often greets the passers-by from the outer space
【2】We know from the text that carbon dioxide ___.
A. is one of the most important greenhouse gases
B. has fossil fuels
C. traps cold near the planet’s surface
D. exist in human activities
【3】From the text, we know when we say the temperature of something has increased by about 0.7+0.2°C, the+0.2°C means___.
A. the increase might by as small as 0.3°C or as great as 0.7°C
B. the increase might by as small as 0.5°C or as great as 0.8°C
C. the increase might by as small as 0.5°C or as great as 0.9°C
D. the increase might by as small as 0.4 C or as great as 0.8°C
【4】What would be the best title for this text?
A. What Are the Scientific Disagreements
B. You Can Think of This Website
C. What Do We Know about Global Climate Change?
D. The Vast Majority of Climate Researchers
