But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new stu

35、dy, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, th

36、e volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two

37、groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. “This forces the brain to think in a different waythe brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点),”

38、 the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics

39、in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same

40、 time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.1Backward walking can_ according to the passage.Aimprove the memory in the long termBimprove the memory in the short termCcause much more pain in our kneesDforce the brain to think in the same way2Which one is the

41、correct order of the following according to the passage?The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video.The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.The volunteers watched

43、me a way of life Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way Being busy has a dangerous allure（诱惑） If you are busy all the time, its hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what youre feeling Whynot

44、let everything become a choice how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?Many of us are busy becauseour self-worth goes up when people make demands（需求）on our time Whydont we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why dont we make the best use of the time and space to

45、be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously（主动地）keeping ourselves not busy In fact many great discoverieswere made by people who built white space into their dayImagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet Ive never heard a

46、nyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they areWhat are they doing differently?First, they aim to project an image that things are under control Second, they actually have things under control Theyve had excellent staff, implemented（实施）thoughtful processes and they spend time o

47、nly on critical tasks that require their attention They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effectIts time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours To do this, you need to change yourway of thinking Its coo

52、he writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo advise us to be freedfrom the trend of being busyBTo warn us about the danger of leading a busy lifeCTo show us ways to feel good about being busyDTo tell us how to fit into the busy modern lifeF18、DNA is the whole “map”of the human body. It is something

53、 that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our

54、family. It is because of small things called “genes(基因)” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. Theyre written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word”that could understand in that

55、 language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word”means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand. The more doctors will be able to do.M
