Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1._Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture fro

33、m our house in Sussex to my son s flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it for me, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a van and drive it myself. It was a Ford Transit 280, long and wide: you couldn t see out of the back. You never really knew how close

34、you were to anything else on the road. Reversing in my home yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. At least I owned the shed. I loaded up the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes, across onco

35、ming vehicles, between distances of buses, at last to Charlotte Street. Here, I found an available parking space. As I reversed into it, I noticed three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who has just endured a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You ve shifted t

36、he car parked behind you three feet,“ they said, and it belonged to a disabled person. I examined the car. There were white scratches along its front bumper. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the stem gaze of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged

37、car s windscreen, giving my phone number. I unloaded the furniture, dripping with sweat. Wanting only to escape the monster , I drove the van back to its base on the Edgware Road. On arrival, the hire man told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “ Just charge me,“ I cried, still sh

38、aking with fear. He gazed at me with understanding. No doubt he d witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive her back?“ he asked. He danced the great van through the traffic so casually that it would have shamed me if I had not been so

By 65, most people will start to notice the signs: you forget people s names and the teapot occasionally turns up in the fridge. T

42、here is a good reason why our memories start to let us down. At this stage of life, we are steadily losing brain cells in critical areas. This is not too much of a problem at first: even in old age, the brain is flexible enough to compensate. At some point, though, the losses start to make themselve

43、s felt. Clearly, not everyone ages in the same way, so whats the difference between a happy, intelligent old person and a forgetful, bad-tempered granny? And can we improve our chances of becoming the former? Exercise can certainly help. Numerous studies have shown that gentle exercise three times a

44、 week can improve concentration and abstract reasoning in older people, perhaps by encouraging the growth of new brain cells. Exercise also helps steady our blood sugar. As we age, our blood sugar control worsens, which causes a large increase in blood sugar levels. This can affect an area that help

45、s form memories. Since physical activity helps control blood sugar, getting out and about could reduce these peaks and, potentially, improve your memory. Coordination training could also help. Studies have shown that specifically targeting motor control and balance improves learning function in 60 t

46、o 80-year-olds. “Brain training“ was once considered strange, but a study concludes that computerised brain exercises can improve memory and attention in the over 65s. Importantly, these changes were large enough that participants reported significant improvements in everyday activities, such as rem

47、embering names or following conversations in noisy restaurants. Avoiding the complaints is even easier. In fact, your brain is doing all it can to ensure a contented retirement. By 65, we are much better at increasing the experience of positive emotion, says Florin Dolcos, a neurobiologist at the University of Alb
