8、r arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When some one says that he has a good memory

9、, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough practice. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exerci

10、ses his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a car all day. If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few

11、 of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means practice. Have you ever notic

12、ed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs and stories, so their m

13、emory is always being exercised.

If you answered yes to 3 or less you could have a low level of accumulated toxins in your body, affecting

20、your ability to think clearly.

That fear went unrealized for a generation, in part because robots and computers werent good at much. Today, near-automated manufacturin

26、g is becoming a reality. Newly built factories often require only a small part of the work force in the plants. Office technology, meanwhile, now allows a few to do what once required a large group of people. There may come a point when the gains from higher productivity pale before the job losses,

27、But even if that point does not come, rapid technological change is causing anxiety about future employment: anxiety that makes it hard to appreciate and enjoy what productivity creates. Prosperity brings many other mixed blessings. Living standards keep rising, but so do cases of depression. Agricu

28、ltural yields continue rising, yet that means fewer family farms are needed Biotechnology may allow us to live longer, but may leave us dependent on costly synthetic drugs.

33、 betterIn todays competitive job market, students are looking for degrees outside their home countries to position themselves as global managers fluent in international practices. Among them is Simon Tindall, an American who turned down a scholarship to Georgetown University in Washington in favor o

34、f Cambridge. Foreign students make up an average 70 percent to 80 percent of non-U.S. MBA programs. In contrast, the Wharton School, at the University of Pennsylvania, reports one of the highest percentages of international students for an American program at 39 percent, a figure that includes U.S.

35、permanent residents. While the tough recruiting climate for graduates entering the U.S. job market is a factor in the decrease, another pressure point seems to be restrictions on visas for travel, education and work in the States after the war in Iraq, SARS in Asia and political changes related to t

36、he terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,2001.

39、director at Cambridge.”The increase in applications enables us to be more selective. Year to year, were looking to increase the quality of the student body, which in turn strengthens competition for the whole program. “（分数：10.00）(1).Simon Tindall went to Cambridge to study for an MBA program because
