A lot of it has to do with genetics, but certain lifestyle factors also play an important role in how our brain ages. So while you can't control your genes, you can avoid these four big brain mistakes.‎ Foods high in sugar, unhealthy fats and processed foods -- i.e., the typical American diet -- can damage your brain over time. Studies have shown that extra sugar consumption can affect learning and memory, and increase your chance of suffering from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. A Mediterranean-based diet, on the other hand, can help protect the brain from signs of aging. Following this type of diet -- which includes a lot of fish, healthy fats, whole grains and vegetables -- could reduce Alzheimer's risk by up to 50 percent.‎ Living in a smoggy city might be bad news for your brain. The researchers found that people who lived closer to a major highway had greater markers of pollution in their lungs and blood, which ‎ increased their risk for a form of brain damage known as "silent strokes". Increased pollution volume was also linked to decreased brain volume -- a major sign of aging.‎ There are a number of scary health effects associated with sleep deprivation(剥夺), from a higher risk of stroke and diabetes to damaged cognitive(认知的)functioning. Over the years, losing shut-eye can also speed up brain aging. Researchers found that the less that older adults slept, the faster their brains aged. ‎ Use it or lose it! If you want to keep your brain sharp, keep it engaged. It doesn't have to be a challenging intellectual task or a brain-training game, either -- simply engaging in everyday activities like reading, cooking or having a conversation can make a difference.‎ The bottom line? Doing novel things promotes neurogenesis(神经形成), the creation of new neurons in the brain. So get outside, learn, discover and try something you have never done to keep your brain sharp through the decades.‎ ‎24. What is the feature of the typical American diet?‎ A. Rich sugar. B. Low fats. C. Plentiful fiber. D. Rich grains.‎ ‎25. According to the passage, which of the following is a major sign of aging?‎ A. The brain becoming larger. B. The brain becoming smaller.‎ C. The body gaining weight. D. The sleep getting less.‎ ‎26. What should the old do to prevent the brain from aging?‎ A. Keep from being busy. B. Live in a modern city.‎ C. Stay away from any fats. D. Avoid staying up late.‎ ‎27. Which of the following can contribute to neurogenesis?‎ A. Doing something risky. B. Doing something new.‎ C. Doing something funny. D. Doing something dull.‎ C For those of you familiar with the show Criminal Minds, you’ll know very well that one of the best characters on that show is, without doubt, Derek Morgan. Today I learn that Shemar Moore, who plays Derek, has filmed his last episode(集) for Criminal Minds and it aired yesterday. So naturally I watched it this morning while getting ready for class and I cried….a lot. I reflected on why I loved Derek so much, besides the fact that he’s hot, and thought about all of the lessons he has taught me along the way.‎ ‎  You don’t have to be strong.‎ Derek was always known to be a very private individual. He never talked much about his family or his history. The past was the past to him and he didn’t want anyone to judge him for things that happened. But when the situation demanded it, he let himself open up and trust his team. He showed his weaknesses and let the team carry him through tough times. It took a lot for him, but he realized that you can’t go through life without a support system. You don’t have to be strong all the time when you have people to catch you when you fall.‎ ‎  Love comes in many forms.‎ Love is the way you protect your team from harm. Love is the way you get angry when someone from the team dies. Love is the orders you take from your boss and the way you disobey them when you know judgment has been clouded. Love is the lengths you will go just to make someone’s day. Love is how hard you work to get justice for family. Love is putting a blanket over someone who is sleeping so they don’t get cold. Love is the little things and the big things.‎ ‎ Know when it’s time to let go.‎ With a new marriage and a new baby, priorities sometimes need reset. During his years at the BAU, Derek has had many girlfriends or dates but he knew Savannah was the one. He realized that he was never going to have better and he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. Commitments require sacrifices. Derek knew that it was time to say goodbye to the BAU in order to pursue a new career: a father and a husband. Our dreams don’t last forever but when one door closes, another is open and waiting for us.‎ ‎28. What is this passage about? ‎ ‎ A. The author’s comments on the show Criminal Minds. ‎ B. The author’s comments on the character Derek Morgan.‎ ‎ C. The author’s lessons she learned from the character Derek Morgan. ‎ ‎ D. The author’s thoughts about life.‎ ‎29. What do we know from this passage?‎ ‎ A. Criminal Minds may be a movie. B. Derek Morgan may be a policeman.‎ ‎ C. Shemar Moore may be a woman. D. The author may be a writer.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can NOT be the author’s choice?‎ ‎ A. A strong man can show occasional weakness.‎ ‎ B. To love someone is to make him or her happy as long as possible.‎ ‎ C. It is acceptable not to take the boss’ mistaken order.‎ ‎ D. A new marriage means an old one’s ending.‎ ‎31. What made Derek leave the BAU?‎ ‎ A. Many girls’ waiting for him. B. His commitments to work.‎ ‎ C. To be a father and a husband. D. His sacrifices to his career.‎ D Mark Twain once said, “There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope(万花筒). We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations, but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.”‎ As with most things, Twain was absolutely right. Even a lot of “modern technologies” are really just updated versions of older creations. Here is one example: Mobile phone.‎ Mobile phones have been around for a lot longer than you would probably suspect. The first “true” mobile telephone call was made in 1946. Long before iPhones, a team at Bell Labs had already made a wireless phone service available in about 100 cities.‎ Naturally, it was expensive, with a monthly service fee of $15. That’s about $150 by today’s standards, with an additional fee of 30–40 cents per call. And since the equipment weighed about 36 kilograms, the “mobile” function was mainly limited to automobiles. In addition to the price and weight, it was also a party line that could only handle about three calls at one time in one city. Due to its price and technological limitations, it was far from popular.‎ But there was a slightly more viable(可行的) option in 1922. Although this device was labeled a “wireless telephone,” it was not what we could consider a mobile phone today. Nevertheless, it was a way to wirelessly connect with family members over great distances, and in the 1920s, that was quite an achievement.‎ The device was a kind of one-way crystal radio that was used to listen to messages. It was large and required an umbrella to act as the antenna（天线）. However, it didn’t need a power source since the antenna provided the energy. Old advertisements for the phone appealed to women who wanted to call their husbands wherever they were at the moment. Of course, that also meant hubby had to carry the clumsy radio and constantly listen for the phone call. Given all that, it’s not ‎ surprising this particular device never caught on.‎ ‎32. What is the author’s intention by borrowing Mark Twain’s words in the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. To attract readers’ attention. B. To support his or her point of view.‎ ‎ C. To introduce a ridiculous topic. D. To introduce a device: mobile phone.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “hubby” in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. Operator. B. Dog. C. Woman. D. Husband.‎ ‎34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?‎ ‎ A. Many phone calls could be handled at the same time by the “1946 wireless phone service”.‎ ‎ B. People could easily carry the “1946 wireless phone” around.‎ ‎ C. Family members could talk to each other on the “1922 wireless phone”.‎ ‎ D. Neither the “1946 wireless phone” nor the “1922 wireless phone” became popular.‎ ‎35. What is the theme of the passage?‎ ‎ A. The history of mobile phones. ‎ B. New “modern technologies” resulting from “older ones”.‎ C. Comparison between the 1946 and 1922 “wireless phone”.‎ D. The invention of mobile phones.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容；从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Happy Friday! Anyone else excited for the weekend ahead?
