New research suggests that speaking more than one language may delay different kinds of dementia(痴呆), that is the loss of mental ability. In fact, researchers say, speaking two languages appears to be more important than the level of education in defending against dementias.

A study in India examined the effect of knowing more than one language in delaying the first signs of several dementias. Researchers studied nearly 650 people whose average age was 66. 240 of those studied suffered from Alzheimer's, the most common form of mental decline(下降). 391 of the subjects spoke two or more languages. Researchers found the dementias began about four-and-a-half years later in those who spoke two languages compared to those who spoke only one language. The level of education had no effect on the age at the first sign of dementia.

Thomas Bak, from the Center of Cognitive Aging at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, who helped to organize the study, suggests that individuals who speak more than one language train their brains by moving back and forth between different words and expressions. He also believes this effort improves what scientists called executive(执行的) functioning, which often weakens in people with dementias. He states that researchers found there was no extra gain in speaking more than two languages.

Mr Bak says it does not appear important whether you learn another language at a young age or later in life. It's not something that “you missed the boat when you do not do it as a baby.” It is something that is still quite useful and powerful when you do it as an adult. 59. The finding of the study is that________.

A. learning more than one language can cure dementias B. speaking two languages may delay kinds of dementias

C. the level of education matters in defending against dementias D. people who suffer from dementias will lose mental ability 60. The underlined word “subjects” refers to________. A. people who were studied in the study B. notices that were put on about the study C. questions that were asked in the study D. methods that were used in the study

61. According to Mr Bak, ________.

A. the more languages one speaks, the less chance of getting dementias B. people’s executive functioning often strengthens with age

C. when you learn one more language makes no difference

D. it is much easier to learn one more language at a young age 62. This passage may probably be seen in________.

A. a research plan B. a health magazine C. a book review D. a business magazine

5 Things to Do in a Traffic Jam

Tired of traffic jams? Here are some tips that can help you to calm down in a traffic jam.

Listen to a CD audio book

It’s a good idea to keep several audio books in your car. 63 Listening to an exciting story is more interesting than sitting silently and being bored. Sing loudly

If you begin getting angry because of a long traffic jam, turn your CD player on or

radio up. 64 Imagine you’re a wonderful singer and the audience is listening to you in admiration. Your stress will disappear.

65 You can use the radio and play entertaining games while waiting. For example you can guess the song or the singer or to see how quickly you can recognize a new song.

Have a snack(零食)

Keeping a tasty snack in the car is especially good for waiting in traffic jams. Choose what you like most of all, so you will look forward to traffic jams to have a chance to eat the delicious snack. 66 In that case, time is the last thing to worry about.

Argue with the radio talk show host

Find a station with a radio talk show. 67 If you disagree, you can show your anger. Don’t be afraid to call their ideas stupid. Only make sure that the car windows are closed so no one may hear you.

Sitting in a traffic jam can be very stressful but next time you can use these simple tips, and you won’t notice how long you have been waiting and soon you will be on your way. A. Play games B. Use the radio.

C. Enjoy every bite of it.

Have you heard about Post Office Cats in Britain? They are mouse hunters. The post office has actually employed cats since 1868. They are not employed to sort or deliver mail, of course, but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.

London post offices were the first to try out the experiment. Within a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply. Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well. Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day. Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.

Some of the hard-working cats have become quite famous. In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started an attack and they fled empty-handed. Another excellent cat was Jerry, of Earls Court post office in London. He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day. He drove all the mice away.

However, there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past. With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings, post office cats are not always needed. But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen. According to the post office, there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.

51. Cats were introduced to British post offices to ________.

第 4页 共 12页

A. help sort and deliver mails and papers B. guard the building against thieves C. keep mails and papers undamaged D. search for certain dangers in mails

52. The underlined word “shrunk” in the second paragraph probably means “________”. A. decreased B. increased C. narrowed D. expanded 53. The cat named Lucky became famous because________.

A. She served the post office for 16 years around the clock. B. She alone drove two burglars away from the post office. C. She protected mails from being bitten by mice. D. She was employed to sort and deliver mail.

54. We may learn from the last paragraph that________. A. the duty of the cats has been replaced by machines B. all the post offices are now completely mice free C. cats are now considered of little use in post offices D. cats will still be seen in service for quite a long time

B

When did you last go outside for sports? Some students might need a while to remember. But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms. The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机) to manage students’ records. However, some students still try to skip(不参加) morning running. To them, sports are just not important enough.

Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts. The Internet and various on-campus services, from food delivery to laundry, are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories. A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.

In the past two years Zhang Yi, 20, a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University, has never been outside for sports except during physical education class. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time. I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes.” said Zhang.

“With social networking sites, online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules, sports are often the last thing to be considered.” said Cheng Jie, 21, a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing.

But Jin Yinghua, a professor at Beijing Sports University, said that sports are not only for keeping fit, but also an irreplaceable(不能替代的) “education” for students. Sports are not only a way for students to train their body, but also an important way to learn responsibility, teamwork and devotion.

55. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. the fingerprint punch-in clocks are widely used B. some college students have poor memories

C. students cannot skip morning running any more D. the problem of students skipping sports is serious

W: Flower Square Garden. Can I help you?

M: Yes. Do you have any more tickets for the concert on Friday night?

W: Do you mean the Rock’n’Roll Show? Yes, we still have some 50-dollar tickets left. M: Great. OK, and is the box office open now?

W: Yes. It is 7:00 p.m. and it will close in an hour. If you want to buy the tickets today,

please hurry up.

M: OK. By the way, what time does the show start? W: It starts at 7:30 in the evening. M: Thanks a lot. W: No problem. (Text 7)

M: I’m glad you’re here. What a terrible morning! W: Why? What happened?

M: After I got dressed for the party, I was having a cup of coffee, and I spilled it all over

my shirt.

W: Well, it looks OK now.

M: Luckily, I had another white shirt, so I changed.

W: Uh, is there a place around here where I can get a pair of pants cleaned quickly?

M: There is a one-hour dry cleaner in the Shell building on Madison. It’s about two

blocks from here.

W: So, it’s close. And which one is the Shell Building? M: It’s that big, glass office building near the park. (Text 8)

M: I can’t find my bike anywhere!

W: Are you sure you looked everywhere?

M: Yeah. I’ve looked in every corner of the school, but it’s nowhere to be seen. W: So what will you do?

M: I guess I’ll just have to buy a cheap second-hand bike.

W: You know that might have been stolen too! If you buy a second-hand bike, you may

encourage the thieves.

M: But what can I do! I need a bike to get to school. W: So long as you get a good lock you should be OK.

M: That reminds me of a story. A student who didn’t want his bike to be stolen got three

new locks for his bike.

W: But it still got stolen, right?

M: No. The bike was left but the locks were taken. W: What was the reason?

M: The thief left a note saying, “Your bike is not worth stealing but the locks are!” (Text 9)

he causes all the other dogs in the neighbourhood to bark, too. It’s very annoying. I’m trying to study for some very important exams. W: I do apologize. I had no idea. I’m away so much.

M: I know. It’s also why he’s barking so much. He’s lonely. You shouldn’t keep a dog like

that locked in a house alone all day.

W: I know. But there have been so many robberies recently and I thought having a dog

would help.

M: Well, I can understand that. Look, it’s only the barking that’s a problem. I could take

him for a short walk a couple of times a day if you like. W: Oh, that would be great. (Text 10)

W: Good morning, boys and girls. Welcome to today’s programme. Paper

was invented by Chinese in the first century AD. The art of paper-making took seven hundred years to reach the Muslim world and another seven hundred years to get to Britain. Paper-making is an important British industry, and paper from Britain is exported to Australia, South Africa and many other countries. Some of the wood used in the British paper-making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also imported from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a typical forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain each day buy one daily paper, this uses over forty thousand trees a day. Trees are being cut down faster than they are being replaced, so there may be a serious paper shortage in the future.
