4、g that true literacy has become the lost art. The difference this time is that we will confront with elitism from【 M7】 _ both sides. Not only have literary purists now complain of the【 M8】 _ evanescent nature of letters onscreen, the tech fanatics have become equally disdainful of the old form. Perh
5、aps we should look past both sides to concern ourselves with function instead of form.

7、ven the most advanced machine, so improving our memory isn t quite so easy.

8、onal interested in doing all he can to stay【 M4】 _ mentally sharp, and a senior looking to preserve and enhance【 M5】 _ your intelligence as you age, there are lots of things from【 M6】 _ which you can do to improve your memory and mental performance.

9、, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old proverb simply isnt true. The human brain has astonishing ability to adapt and change even into【 M7】 _ older age. This ability is known as neuroplasticity. With the【 M8】 _ right stimulation, your brain can form new neural pat
10、hways, alter existing connections, and adapt and react in ever-changing ways. The brains incredible ability to reshape itself hold true【 M9】 _ when it comes to learning and memorizing.

12、the idleness of young people. Often their【 M1】 _ complaints reach a feverish pitch. Whats behind this rage? Some people fear were spawning a lazy generation. But there is more【 M2】 _ likely that our fast-pace culture blinds us to the need to slow down.【 M3】 _ Recent studies have revealed that North
13、Americans take significant less vacation time than people in European countries.【 M4】 _ The same studies indicate that people have a hard time leaving work when they go away.

14、 life. And it points to a deep fear: Well be punished if we stop working. The art of doing nothing could seem peculiar to some. But in our wired world its easy to slow down. Sometimes it【 M7】 _ takes mental discipline to be idle. Multitasking and instant communication have given us many benefits. An
15、d they also【 M8】 _ produce frazzled nerves, sleep problems, strained relationships, irritability, and drug independencies. Thats why its important for【 M9】 _ people to rejuvenate themselves by slowing down. If we value healthy living, creativity, and peace of mind, we should recognize the need to be
16、 idle. By doing such, we may【 M10】 _ discover the benefits of simply watching a sunset. 21 【 M1】 22 【 M2】 23 【 M3】 24 【 M4】 25 【 M5】 26 【 M6】 27 【 M7】 28 【 M8】 29 【 M9】 30 【 M10】 30 David Cameron has noticed that health and safety regulations stop schools taking children out on field trips, outdoor
