26、moments“-when you cant remember what your friend has told you or where you left your keys-are becoming more frequent, mental exercises and a healthy brain diet may help. Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of aging as ear

27、ly as the 20s and 30s. “Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us had imagined and these processes continue gradually over the years,“ said Dr. Gary Small, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles. Tin convinced that it is never too early

28、to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program,“ he added. In his book, The Memory Bible, the 51-year-old neuroscientist (神经学家 ) lists what he refers to as the 10 suggestions for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, reducing stress, mental exercises, brain foo

29、d and a healthy lifestyle. “Misplacing your keys a couple of times dont mean you should start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Our brains can fight back,“ he said. Small provides the weapons for a full-scale attack. Simple memory tests give an indication

30、 of what you are up against and tools such as “look“ and “connect“ are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. “So if you wanted to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a high e

31、yebrow,“ said Small. “You associate the first thing that comes to your mind. I think of the actor Warren Beatty, so I create a mental picture of Warren Beatty kissing her brow.“ Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. “Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puz

32、zles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a language. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing,“ he added. 31 The “mad moment“ in the first paragraph refers to the time when we _ （ A） dont listen to our friends （ B） have lost our important things （ C） h

34、ry loss is not the sign that we are getting old 33 By giving the example “you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing .eyebrow“, Dr. Small is trying to explain the memory tool of _ （ A） healthy brain diet （ B） physical exercises （ C） reducing stress （ D） mental exercises 34 By saying “I thi

35、nk of the actor Warren Beatty so I create . her brow“ Dr. Small is trying to explain the memory tool of _ （ A） remembering facial features （ B） recognizing celebrities （ C） connecting related things （ D） observing carefully 35 Mental exercises do NOT include _ （ A） writing with ones left hand （ B） l

36、earning a foreign language （ C） doing crossword puzzles （ D） taking pictures 35 We unemployed share a social stigma (耻辱 ) similar to that of the rape victim. Whether consciously or subconsciously, much of the work-ethic driven public feels that youve somehow “asked for it“. Secretly wanted to lose y

37、our job and “flirted (幻想 )“ with unemployment through your attitude- probably dressed in a way to invite it (left the vest unbuttoned on your three-piece suit). But the worse of it isnt societys work-ethic morality; its your own, which you never knew you had. You find out how much self-satisfaction

38、was gained from even the most simple work-related task: a well-worded letter, a well-handled phone call, even a clean file. Being useful to yourself isnt enough. But then almost everyone has heard about the need to be a useful member of society. What you didnt know about was the loneliness. Youve sp

39、ent your life almost constantly surrounded by people, in classes, in dorms and at work. To suddenly find yourself with only your cat to talk to all day distorts (歪曲 ) your sense of reality. You begin to worry that fights of fancy might become one way. But you always were, and still are, stronger tha

40、n that. You maintain balance and perspective, mainly through resorting frequently to sarcasm (嘲笑 ) and irreverence. Although something going wrong in any aspect of your life now seems to push you into temporary despair much more easily than before, you have some very important things to hang on to-

41、people who care, your sense of humor, your talents, your cat and your hopes. And beyond that, youve gained something- a little more knowledge and a lot more compassion. Youve learned the value of the routine you scorned and the importance of the job you took for granted. But most of all, youve learn

42、ed what a “7.6 percent unemployment rate“ really means. 36 What is the proper title for this passage? （ A） How the Unemployed Are Looked Down Upon （ B） How Important to Be Employed （ C） How It Feels to Be Out of Work （ D） How to Gain a Little More Knowledge and Compassion 37 According to the passage

44、 able to find a job again. （ C） You begin to worry that youll never be able to face the reality. （ D） You begin to worry that youll never be able to see your relatives again. 39 What does “work-ethic“ refer to? （ A） Crazy attitude toward work. （ B） Public attitude toward work. （ C） People who are wo

45、rking. （ D） People who are out of work. 40 Which statement is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） The worst of layoff is the societys work-ethic morality. （ B） Unemployment brings great mental hurt to people. （ C） Those who lost their jobs become easily depressed. （ D） Those who lost jobs would

46、value any job they can get. 40 Valentines Day is a festival of romance and affection. The holiday is an interesting combination of pagan (异教徒的 ) and Christian influences. Some of the days customs probably came from an ancient Roman holiday caned Lupercalia, Which honored Juno (wife of Jupiter, the g

47、oddess of women, marriage, and childbirth) and Pan (the God of nature). During the Lupercalia festival, young women dropped poems bearing their names into a large vase. Each young man picked a name from the vase to find his sweetheart for that year. During the Middle Ages, church leaders wanted to r

48、elate this pagan holiday to Christianity, so they renamed it after a Christian saint and moved the holiday from February 15 to February 14, the feast day of St. Valentine. St. Valentine was a third-century Christian martyr, a young man who was imprisoned in Rome for refusing to worship pagan gods. A

49、ccording to legend, before Valentine was beheaded on February 14, he restored the eyesight of his jailers blind daughter. Then he sent her a farewell letter signed, “From your Valentine“. This phrase is now a common expression of affection that appears on many of the holiday greeting cards. Perhaps another reason that February 14 was picked as a holiday for lovers was that the ancient Romans believed that birds began to mate
