And the two of them said, Its unbelievable! Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(贫民窟的百万富翁)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip. But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the childrens home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood. I dont really know what the Oscars are, Rubinas mother said. Im just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food. Our children lead a dogs life, Rubinas mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities. In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which are their home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movies director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school. The two dont need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of opportunity the central theme of the movieis always all around.51.

The long, cold winter is over. The weather is warmer and sunnier. The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming. The season represents hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece Spring, which shows happiness. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds. However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote Spring Is Here, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season. Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, Spring Will be a Little Late This Year. Why has the season been delayed? Because the singers lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953. By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” Ok, then how about a cowboy song? Gene Autry was one of Americas most famous singing cowboys. He recorded When Its Spring time in the Rockies in 1937. And finally, well leave you with a sunny song called Up Jumped Spring. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio performs it.55. If you are in a bad mood, youd better listen to _.A. Up Jumped Spring B. I Dream of SpringC. Spring Is Here D.

C Children are our future, and its up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, todays children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons (武器), drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers. Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule (日程表). At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours. Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools. If youre new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children? ” Fact: A nationwide study using a random (任意) selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test. Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile. Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. Weve placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college. One study found that of the home schooled adults, 2% were unemployed, 2% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons. 来源:学_科_网 For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at 1（877）532-7665. 59.

But researchers have indeed found a way to improve memory function in older people. After a two-week study that involved brainteasers(脑筋急转弯), exercise and diet changes, study participants memories worked more efficiently. Heres the program: Memory Training: Brainteasers, crossword puzzles and memory exercises that emphasized verbal skills throughout the day. Healthy Diet: Five meals daily included a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fats, whole grains and antioxidants. Eating frequent meals prevents dips in blood glucose, the primary energy source for the brain. Physical Fitness: Brisk daily walks and stretching. Physical fitness has been found in other research to reduce the risk of Alzheimers disease. Stress Reduction: Stretching and relaxation exercises. Stress causes the body to release cortisol(皮质醇) which can impair memory and has been found to shrink the memory centers in the brain. Before-and-after brain scans showed the participants experienced on average a five percent decrease in brain metabolism in the dorsal lateral prefrontal region of the brain, which is directly linked to working memory and other cognitive functions. This suggests they were using their brains more efficiently. The subjects also performed better on a cognitive test. However, a control group that didnt follow the plan showed no significant changes. Weve known for years that diet and exercise can help people maintain their physical health, which is a key component of healthy aging, said Gary Small, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences UCLA. But maintaining mental health is just as important. Now we have evidence which suggests that people can keep their memory by adding memory exercises and stress reduction.”62. In paragraph 5, the underlined word “impair” probably means_.A. damage B. prevent C. improve D. change 63 If a personal feel seriously stressed, it can lead to _.A. Alzheimers disease B. a bad memory C. a certain decrease in brain metabolism D. a lack of blood glucose64 What would be the best title for this passage?A. Exercise Help to Maintain Physical Health B. Different Ways Contribute to Healthy AgingC. Ads Suggest Ways to Sharpen Memory D. Study: 14-Day Plan Improves Memory65 Which of the following is NOT included in the program to improve the older peoples memory?A. Health diet B. Physical fitness C. Stress reduction D.
