to unlock the full potential of your brain, you need to keep it active and acute(敏锐的，敏感的). but how? check out these tips: exerciseget your body moving exercising doesnt just exercise the body; it also helps to exercise your brain. without regular exercise your blood vessels (血管）begin to lose the ability to effectively pump blood and it also reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients（养分）that your blood carries to your brain. when the nutrients dont make it there, the brains ability to function is weakened. to prevent this from happening, make sure you get moving every day. walking, swimming and dancing are all excellent activities. get rid of stresses and seek help for depression among the most brain-damaging stresses is severe depression, which is actually often mistaken for a memory problem since one of its primary symptoms is the inability to concentrate. if you cant concentrate, yon might feel like you are constantly forgetting things. depression increases the levels of cortisol（氢化可的松）in your brain, which affects your memory. seek professional help to get rid of your depression一your brain will thank you. feed you brain 50 to 60 percent of the brains overall weight is pure fat, which is used to insulate（隔离）its billions of nerve cells. the better insulated a cell is, the quicker you will be thinking. this is exactly why parents are advised to feed their young children whole milk. thus eating foods that contain a healthy mix of fats is vital for long-term memory. some excellent food choices include fish and dark leafy green vegetables.60. according to paragraph 2, what may happen to us if we seldom take exercise? a. no oxygen comes to our brain.b. our brain cant function well. c. more nutrients will be carried to brain.d. more blood will be pumped effectively.61. the real cause of the inability to focus is a. poor memory b. little exercise c. serious depression d. unhealthy eating62. why should parents feed their babies whole milk? a. because babies brains need fat to grow and work properly. b. because whole milk is very easy for babies to digest. c. because no other food is more suitable for babies than milk. d. because less than half of the brains overall weight is pure fat cwhy do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? whats to blame for all the bad behaviors? most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them. according to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesnt quite make sense. in fact, it turns out that sometimes its having will power that really gets you into trouble.think back to the time you took your very first sip (小口) of beer. disgusting, wasnt it? when my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, i wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. and smoking? no one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful. so even though smoking and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) that you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for budweiser beer, marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted starbucks coffee. we do it for social acceptance. we force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.these bad habits arent self-control failures far from it. they are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. to live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.63. what do most people think causes bad behavior? a. being forced by others. b. not having enough will power. c. enjoying their first experiences. d. following the examples of their friends.64. the author mentions his experience in the second paragraph to prove _. a. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes b. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers c. self-control should be developed when one is young d. everyone can be challenged by different temptations65. in the last paragraph, the author stresses that _. a. without self-control, no one can succeed b. bad habits dont always lead to bad results c. applying self-control correctly is important d. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior66. what would be the best title for the passage? a. my first sip of beerb. do you have will power ? c. will power benefits usd. dark side of self-control dincreasingly, americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from internet pharmacies(药店)some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insuranceor they may stay away because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alcohol consumption(酗酒) or couch potato habitspatients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the pastbut playing doctor can also be a deadly gameevery day, more than six million americans turn to the internet for medical answers -most of them arent nearly doubtful enough of what they finda 2002 survey by the pew internet & american life project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites they shouldnt look up “headache”, and the chances of finding reliable and complete information are only one in ten, reports an april 2005 brown medical school studyof the l69 websites the researchers rated, only l6 scored as “high quality”recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the internetthe problem is that most people dont know the safe way to surf the web “they use a search engine 1ike google, get l8 trillion choices and start clicking but thats risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的), so its hard to know whether what youre reading is reasonable or not,” says drsarah bass from the national cancer institute67according to the text, an increasing number of americans aare suffering from mental disordersbturn to internet pharmacies for helpclike to play deadly games with doctorsdare doubtful about surfing medical websites68 some americans stay away from doctors because they afind medical devices easy to operatebprefer to be diagnosed online by doctorscare afraid to face the tru
