what was the name of the movie you saw last week? the major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body, not in your short-term memory bank.tests continue to show that people with enough vitamin b-2 do well in memory exams. the b could stand for brain, if youre one of many with limited instant recall. and the number one source of that vitamin is sunflower seeds. even when youre sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. for it to work properly, it must be fed. even if youre not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day. a muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. vitamin b-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. in chinese culture, walnuts (核桃) are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. and according to chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, youll live longer.however forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter b, which will help you to bear in mind almost everything.56. the underlined word muffin in the third paragraph probably means .a. brain b. dinner c. calorie d. cake57. in the passage, chinese culture is mentioned to a. support the idea of long life b. show the importance of vitamin b-1c. warn the readers of two organs d. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds58. what can we conclude from the passage? a. what we eat every day has a great effect on our memory.b. 30 percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping.c. it doesnt make difference to our brain whether we have breakfast.d. our memory depends largely on short-term memory bank.59. the best title for the passage could be a. causes of memory loss b. vitamin b-2 and healthc. forgetful? but not brain d. chinese culture of long lifebthere are some highlights in april in shanghai. live music late night jazzenjoy real american jazz from herbie davis, the famous trumpet player. hes coming with his new 7 piece band, herbies heroes. herbie is known to play well into the early hours, so dont expect to get much sleep. this is herbies third visit to shanghai. the first two were sold out, so get your tickets quickly.place: the jazz club dates:15 23 april price:￥80time: 10:00 p.m. till late! tel:6466 8736 scottish dancingtake your partners and get ready to dance till you drop. scottish dancing is fun and easy to learn. instructors will demonstrate the dances. the live band, gordon stroppie and the weefrees, are also excellent.place: jack steins dates: every monday price:￥60 including one drinktime: 7:00 00:00 p.m. tel:6402 1877exhibitions shanghai museumthere are 120,000 pieces on show here. you can see the whole of chinese history under one roof. its always interesting to visit, but doubly so at the moment with the egyptian tombs exhibition. there are lots of mummies and more gold than youve ever seen before. let us know if you see a mummy move!place: shanghai museum price:￥30（￥15 for students）tel:6888 6888 dates: dailytime: monday friday 9:00 a. m. 5:00 p. m., weekends 9:00 a. m. 9:00p.m.dining sushi chef in townsushi is getting really big in shanghai. in japan, its become an art form. the most famous sushi artist is yuki kamura. shes also one of the few female chefs in japan. shell be at sushi scene all of this month.place: sushi scene in the shanghai hotel dates: all month price: ￥200 time: lunchtime tel: 6690 3211 for a full listing of events, see our website.60from the text we may learn that sushi is .aa cookban instructorc a kind of food dan artist61which is not true about the ads?ayuki kamura will stay in shanghai in april for a whole month.ba family of parents with 15 year old twins should pay 75 yuan for the shanghai museum admission.cyou will probably be taught to dance if you go to jack steins.damerican jazz from herbie davis is popular in shanghai.62where are the ads available to people?anewspaper bmagazine ctv dinternetcwhat is great art? on the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. but how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? and who decides? these are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. when shakespeare and charles dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack (平庸的) writers with little or no literary ability. similarly, van gogh and many of the other impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the real painters of the time, and often they were very poor. yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called real painters are now barely remembered. so what makes great art? can, for example, rock music be great art? music videos? cartoons and comics? those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situation today. critics often dont recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art. but popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. the other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently (内在的) beautiful. many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. but having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure. 63. the first paragraph is intended to_. a. lead to the following and arouse the readers curiosityb. introduce some real painters to the readersc. introduce the questions the writer wants to answer d. explain what kind of art will become popular64. the author used the examples of shakespeare, charles dickens and van gogh to prove _.a. these masters works have some shortcomingsb. these masters wouldnt have been so successful without the criticsc. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created d. great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive65. according to the author, great works _. a. may be presented in different formsb. are generally valued by critics c. are thought valuable because of their sale price d. will lose their value if theyre not accepted66. what can be inferred from the passage? a. critics have changed their attitudes to great works. b. most of the opinions of critics are valueless.c. the work of art itself, not the critics, determines its greatness.d. works of impressionist painters will be great one day.dmake your office spacemany of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. however, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. but does that mean youll never get the chance to work in space? not necessarily. space x, a private space company based in california, us, published a list of job vacancies (空缺) last month. these “open positions” are not only for astronauts, and they all sound just as cool.one of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer”(嗅探员). nasa has already hired a chief sniffer named george aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components before they are used in spacecrafts.using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually crucial. a spacecraft is of limited size and relatively(相对的) high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. and once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts “have no way of escaping” unpleasant smells, aldrich told the telegraph. more importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that could threaten astronauts health.another job vacancy, the “space tour gui
