19、 those “mad moments“-when you cant remember what your friend has told you or where you left your keys-are becoming more frequent, mental exercises and a healthy brain diet may help.Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of a
20、ging as early as the 20s and 30s. “Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us had imagined and these processes continue gradually over the years,“ said Dr. Gary Small, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles. Tin convinced that it is never
21、 too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program,“ he added.In his book, The Memory Bible, the 51-year-old neuroscientist (神经学家) lists what he refers to as the 10 suggestions for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, reducing stress, mental exercises,
22、brain food and a healthy lifestyle.“Misplacing your keys a couple of times dont mean you should start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Our brains can fight back,“ he said.Small provides the weapons for a full-scale attack. Simple memory tests give an ind
23、ication of what you are up against and tools such as “look“ and “connect“ are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. “So if you wanted to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a
24、 high eyebrow,“ said Small. “You associate the first thing that comes to your mind. I think of the actor Warren Beatty, so I create a mental picture of Warren Beatty kissing her brow.“Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. “Mental exercises could be anything from doing crosswo
25、rd puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a language. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing,“ he added.（分数：5.00）(1).The “mad moment“ in the first paragraph refers to the time when we _（分数：1.00）A.dont listen to our friendsB.have lost our importa

Whether consciously or subconsciously, much of the work-ethic driven public feels that youve somehow “asked for it“. Secretly wanted to los
30、e your job and “flirted (幻想)“ with unemployment through your attitude- probably dressed in a way to invite it (left the vest unbuttoned on your three-piece suit).But the worse of it isnt societys work-ethic morality; its your own, which you never knew you had. You find out how much self-satisfaction
31、 was gained from even the most simple work-related task: a well-worded letter, a well-handled phone call, even a clean file. Being useful to yourself isnt enough.But then almost everyone has heard about the need to be a useful member of society. What you didnt know about was the loneliness. Youve sp
32、ent your life almost constantly surrounded by people, in classes, in dorms and at work. To suddenly find yourself with only your cat to talk to all day distorts (歪曲) your sense of reality. You begin to worry that fights of fancy might become one way.But you always were, and still are, stronger than
33、that. You maintain balance and perspective, mainly through resorting frequently to sarcasm (嘲笑) and irreverence. Although something going wrong in any aspect of your life now seems to push you into temporary despair much more easily than before, you have some very important things to hang on to- peo
34、ple who care, your sense of humor, your talents, your cat and your hopes.And beyond that, youve gained something- a little more knowledge and a lot more compassion. Youve learned the value of the routine you scorned and the importance of the job you took for granted. But most of all, youve learned w

39、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Valentines Day is a festival of romance and affection. The holiday is an interesting combination of pagan (异教徒的) and Christian influences. Some of the days customs probably came from an ancient Roman holiday caned Lupercalia, Which honored Juno (wife of Jupiter, the godde
40、ss of women, marriage, and childbirth) and Pan (the God of nature). During the Lupercalia festival, young women dropped poems bearing their names into a large vase. Each young man picked a name from the vase to find his sweetheart for that year.During the Middle Ages, church leaders wanted to relate
41、 this pagan holiday to Christianity, so they renamed it after a Christian saint and moved the holiday from February 15 to February 14, the feast day of St. Valentine. St. Valentine was a third-century Christian martyr, a young man who was imprisoned in Rome for refusing to worship pagan gods. Accord
42、ing to legend, before Valentine was beheaded on February 14, he restored the eyesight of his jailers blind daughter. Then he sent her a farewell letter signed, “From your Valentine“. This phrase is now a common expression of affection that appears on many of the holiday greeting cards.Perhaps anothe
43、r reason that February 14 was picked as a holiday for lovers was that the ancient Romans believed that birds began to mate on this date.In modern times, early in February of each year, card shops, drugstores, and department stores begin displaying a wide variety of greeting cards called valentines.
44、Most of them are illustrated with the symbolic red heart, which stands for love. Many also show a picture of Cupid with his bow and arrow. Some valentines are very fancy-decorated with paper lace, scented satin, feathers, ribbons, or bows. Some contain affectionate verses, while others simply say, “
45、Be my Valentine“. There are special Valentines for various family members, sweet hearts, and friends. People sometimes send anonymous valentines to the persons whom they are in secret love with.On that day, children usually buy packages of small, inexpensive valentines to give to classmates and teac
46、hers. Sweet-hearts and married couples may exchange more expensive cards, along with small gifts. Men often give red roses or chocolates wrapped up beautifully in red, heart-shaped boxes to their girlfriends or wives.（分数：5.00）(1).The best title for this passage is _（分数：1.00）A.The Origin of Valentine
