    【原文】

    Each summer,the Oxford English Dictionary,or OED,adds new words.Generally,the words are used in everyday speech for many years before they even have a chance to be added to the dictionary.However,with the popularity of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter,people are constantly being exposed to new words.Those who use these sites pick up the vocabulary and begin to spread it - and quickly.Last summer,the word”eco-town”was added to the OED.Eco-towns are towns that are built to be environmentally friendly,and are often sponsored by the government.In addition,they seek to provide affordable housing to those who need it.The towns’ buildings are made from recyclable materials,and the energy used to power them is renewable,such as wind and solar energy. Even more impressively,the towns try to be car-free. Some think this is impossible,but in these towns,roads are built only to accommodate biking and walking.So far,the government of England has approved the construction of four eco-towns,but up until now,none have actually been built.Still,both the word”eco-town”and the ideas it represents have gained attention.Perhaps more governments throughout the world will support this new idea to help the environment,while giving people a safe and affordable place to live at the same time.

    【题目】 You can take fish oil. You can invest in a language class. or some hours of exercise every week. There are countless ways to improve your memory and cognitive functioning(认知功能). You know, the brain-training industry is expected to reach $ 8 billion by 2022. But the cheapest, easiest and most time-tested way to sharpen your brain is right in front of your face. That's why moms are always on their kids' cases to turn off the TV and pick up a good book. But there's something astonishing about how it can make it.

    The most basic effect occurs in the area associated with language reception. Processing written material - from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves - takes your attention to interpret the information. Typically, when you read, you have more time to think, judge and even criticize. And the very nature of such an ordinary activity encourages the brain to work harder and better, deepening your understanding of your course and your future career.

    And the benefits of reading continue long after you've put down that great book. It is clarified that some of those benefits last for five days. We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory - that means, even if you are a retired sportsman now, some skills can still be stored in your memory. That means the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading.

    What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic, reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to get these benefits? A book can fix that problem too! According to a study, one hundred hours of remedial(补救的) reading classes significantly improved the quality of the brains' white matter. where information is processed. So turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two - and just read on a regular basis.

    【1】The text is mainly written to

    A.show the power of knowledgeB.persuade people to read regularly

    C.clarify the benefits of good booksD.introduce how to improve memory

    【2】What does the underlined “such an ordinary activity” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

    A.Judging.B.Thinking.C.Learning.D.Reading.

    【3】What does the third paragraph suggest?

    A.Reading has a long-time influence.B.Books are needed if you want to graduate.

    C.The retired sportsmen have good memories.D.Reading a lot is beneficial to one' s muscles.

    【4】For whom is the text mainly intended?

    A.Parents.B.Office workers.

    C.College students.D.University graduates.
