feel at home, no matter how far from Passage 2 home your journey may take you. Researchers have established
We can offer travelers benefits that when people are mentally on a scale beyond the reach of our engaged, biochemical(生物化学individual-net-works.You’ll find 的)changes occur in the brain that more people and more information to allow it to act more effectively in guide you at every stage of your trip, cognitive(认知的) areas, such as making transfers smoother and global attention and memory.This is true
regardless of age.
People will be alert(敏锐的) and receptive if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in.And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.
Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives.“The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information,” says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging.“Most of us don’t need that kind of skill.Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness.” Fozard and others say they challenge their brain with different mental skills, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.
Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups.Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well.Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted.“The point is you need to do both.” Cohen says, “ Intellectual activity actually influences brain-cell health and size.”
(C)1.People who are cognitively healthy are those_____.
A.who can remember large amounts of information
B.who are highly intelligent C.whose minds are alert and receptive
D.who are good at recognizing different sounds (B)2.According to Fozard’s argument, people can make their brains work more efficiently by __ .
A.constantly doing memory work B.taking part in various mental activities
C.going through specific training D.making frequent adjustments (D)3.The findings of James and other scientists in their work____. A.remain a theory to be further proved
B.have been challenged by many other experts
C.have been generally accepted D.are practiced by the researchers themselves
(A)4.Older people are generally advised to_____. A.keep fit by going in for physical activities
B.keep mentally active by challenging their brains
C.maintain mental alertness through specific training
D.maintain a balance between individual and group activities (B)5.What is the passage mainly about ?
A.How biochemical changes occur in the human brain. B.Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally C.How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health. D.Why people should receive special mental training as they ago.
Passage 3
Packaging is a very important
from of advertising.A package can sometimes motivate(刺激；使有动机) people to buy products.For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character.The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast fooD.Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products-or to ask their parents to buy for them.
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the produce in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free.However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer.Maybe the package has “ Economy Size ” or “Family Size” printed on it.This suggests that the larger size has the most products for the least money.But that is not always true.To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.
The information on the package should provide some answer.But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement.The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.Only the product inside can do that.
(C)1.“A buyer will get something for nothing ” in Paragraph 2 most probable means that .
A.a buyer will not get what he pays for
B.a buyer will get more than what he pays for
C.a buyer will get something useful free of charge
D.a buyer will get more but pay less
(C)2.From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to___. A.the size of a container
B.a container with attractive pictures
C.a well designed container
D.a plain container with low cost (B)3.What suggestion does the author give in the passage ? A.It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish. B.The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
C.The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package. D.A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well designed package.
(A)4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
A.In fact glasses or dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all.
B.“ Family Size ” printed on the package means that it is rather economic.
C.To a child, even to an adult, the form is far more important than the content. D.Words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement.
(D)5.What is the best title for the passage ? D
A.How to Package a Product.
B.How to Make an Advertisement. C.How to Sell Product.
D.How to Attract More Buyers.
