Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 1. Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 2.

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 3. Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 4.

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 5. or go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

We humans are superstitious, believing that Friday the 13th is bad luck and finding a penny is good luck. Here, then, are three of the most common superstitions.

Careful with that mirror

According to folktales, breaking a mirror is sure to bring yourself seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don’t just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led old American Southerners to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, for fear that their soul might be trapped inside.

Like the number three, the number seven is often associated with luck. Seven years is a long time to be unlucky, so people have come up with solutions after breaking a mirror. These include touching a piece of the broken mirror to a tombstone or powdering the broken mirror.

Knock on wood

This phrase is designed to break away from bad luck: “Breaking that mirror didn’t bring me any trouble. Knock on wood.” The phrase may come from old tales about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross.

No umbrellas inside

…And not just because you’ll hurt someone’s eyes. Opening an umbrella indoors is supposed to bring bad luck. The origins of this belief vary from a story of an ancient woman who happened to have opened her umbrella moments before her house fell to the tale of a British prince who accepted two umbrellas from a visiting king and died within months.

1.What may bring good luck?

A. Dating on Friday the 13th. B. Knocking on wood.

C. Opening an umbrella inside. D. Breaking a mirror.

2.What should you do to drive bad luck away after breaking a mirror?

A. Hide the pieces for seven years. B. Put the pieces in a tombstone.

C. Cover the other mirrors in a house. D. Make the pieces into powder.

3.Which phrase may originate(起源) from religion?

A. Careful with that mirror. B. Knock on wood.

C. No umbrellas inside. D. Lucky number seven.

I have an aunt work in London. It has been five years that we met each other. Last summer vacation my parent and I took a trip there. I didn’t expect live in a city in England could be much expensive than in my home country in eastern Europe. We went to Cambridge on the other day. They were many kinds of delicious food, so we got ourselves something to eat. I eat Coriander crisps, which were extreme tasty. Although I was tired that day, I really had wonderful time.

As a little child,1 was always plump(胖的).In college I started blowing up. It got out of control

when l went to law school.

I'd made a decision a thousand times: I'm going to lose weight now. But what motivated(激发)

me to get serious about it was turning 30.1 weighed 414 pounds.1 was always tired. Some of my

family members have suffered from heart disease, and l was frightened. I also wanted to look better.

So after my birthday,1 walked into the office of a weight loss doctor.

She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise.

Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the

distance, until one weekend, I heard myself saying, "Wow, this seems pretty easy." So I started to run.

1 was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New

York City Marathon. For years,1 watched the runners and thought, "This looks like fun, but I could

never do that." But now I realized that maybe I could.I joined the New York Road Runners.I ran a

l0km, then a half marathon.I still wasn't confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was

going to do it, no matter what.

By my 33rd birthday,1 was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon.

And on the morning of November l, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than

40,000 0ther runners, waiting for the event to start.

It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I

crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed(向……喷射)me with beer, as if I'd won the Super Bowl.

And at that moment,I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.

My parents and two older brothers arrived in Queens from Cuba in 1967, squeezing into a one-bedroom apartment that got even more cramped when I showed up two years later. Suspicious of everyone and unable to communicate in English, my parents weren’t about to let their kids hang out in the streets. And since they both worked, we boys spent a lot of time at home.

The main public library on Merrick Boulevard was the first place I was allowed to visit on my own. I started going there when I was eight. Everything I needing was located on what seemed to me an endless single floor. Wandering around that building aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon offered a sense of freedom I’d never experienced before.

Once my father dropped me off, it didn’t really matter what I did so long as I could explore. I find it interesting that people today say that libraries are no longer about books; they weren’t really about books for me back in the 1970s, either. It was more about being around other people who looked like they were being productive-turning pages, making copies, patiently waiting for items. All this was attractive to me.

I felt a certain level of dignity and self-respect at the library. I didn’t borrow books from the library despite spending practically every Saturday of my childhood there. I certainly went over hundreds and hundreds of them during my walks around the building- sports, politics and the solar system were my favorite sections. But I felt no great need to bring books home. We had no room for books in our apartment anyway. I felt like a poor kid when I read books at home. I felt like everyone else when I read books at the library.

1.The underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph I probably means “________”.

A. dangerous B. shabby C. messy D. crowded

2.What did the author appreciate most about the library?

A. The atmosphere it provides. B. The books he could explore.

C. The productive people in it. D. The seemingly endless floor.

3.The author didn’t borrow books from the library because ________.

A. he had finished reading all the books he preferred

B. he felt like reading at the library to enjoy freedom

C. he didn’t want to lose his dignity and self-respect

D. he was too poor to afford the cost of borrowing books

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. How a Public Library Set Me Free

B. Culture Shock Is Never a Barrier

C. My Aimless and Boring Childhood

D. A Building Shaped a Nation’s Spirit
