17、s(总题数：0，分数：0.00)If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers i
18、n northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise meas
19、urements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and sevent
20、y-year-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction-using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors
21、 and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkners findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen th
22、e brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,“ he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation.

Shop assistants.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.I once knew a young man, nineteen years of age, who lived with absolute outward(外表的)confidence and self-possession for a number of years befor
26、e I discovered that he could not read or write. His various methods of trick, which were also skills of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate(绝望)that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one n
27、ight at a local restaurant, and suddenly discovered that he could not read. Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peters desperation shocked me. The first time, he was clever enough to cover the truth. He studied the menu for a moment,
28、then looked up to the waitress and asked her if he could have “just a coke and a hamburger“. He told me later that he had done the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he were examining the menu:“ Then I ask for a coke and a hamburger. Sometimes they give me a hamburger
29、on a plate with salad and potatoes. Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger. “As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnsons. I soon discovered the reason for his choice: The photographs, attached in cellophane (玻璃纸)containers to each of the stand
30、ard items on the menu, could help him not to struggle with the shape of words at all.

33、?A. Standard items on the menu. B. A hamburger made by himself. C. Foods that other people ordered. D. A coke and a hamburger.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word“ self-possession“ (Para. 1) probably means _.A. self-confidence B. self-consciousnessC. self-discipline D. self-devotion（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Why

48、time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys.
