Read the following passage carefully and complete the succssding three items, II, III, IV.
(1)It’s easy to keep your aging brain as nimble as it was in college. Log on to a website full of brain games or download the right apps, and within 20 minutes you’ll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the inexorable decline of your mental functions. At least that’s what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true?
(2)Concrete proof about the benefits of brain games is hard to come by, experts say, when it comes to measurably improving aspects of mental fitness, like having a good memory or sound reasoning. “People would really love to believe you could do something like this and make your brain better, make your mind better,”says Randall W. Engle, a primary investigator at the Attention and Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “There’s just no solid evidence.”
(3)That’s not to say brain games are without benefit. Experts say these kinds of mental exercises can change your brain—just not in a way that necessarily slows its aging. The brain changes with just about everything you do, including mental training exercises. But
numerous studies have shown that brain game lack what researchers call “transfer.”In other words, repeating a game over and over again teachers you how to play the game and get better at it but not necessarily much else.
(4) “It’s like, you walk through fresh snow, you leave a trace. If you walk the same route again, the trace gets deeper and deeper,”says Ursula Staudinger, director of the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University. “The fact that structural changes occur [in the brain] does not imply that in general this brain has become more capable. It has become more capable of doing exactly the tasks it was practicing.”
(5)Brain-game designers, not surprisingly, disagree. Michael Scanlon, chief scientific officer at Lumosity, a large brain-game company, refers to a 2007 study he led as support for his company’s getting into the brain-game business in the first place. “Our basic intention was to release a produce that helps people improve cognitive abilities,”he says. Scanlon says the research, which Lumosity funded and conducted, found that online-based brain training can improve thinking. The small study of 23 people is one of several studies Lumosity has performed, though most have not been peer-reviewed.
(6)As the brain-game industry has grown-revenue topped $1 billion
in 2012 and is project to hit $6 billion by 2020, according to a report from neuroscience market-research firm Sharp Brains-so has the criticism. More than 70 prominent brain scientists and psychologists signed a withering statement on the subject last year. The open letter, organized by the Stanford Center on Longevity and covered by media outlets across the world, argued that claims on behalf of brain games about improved cognition were“frequently exaggerated and at times misleading.”The scientists also laid out criteria that the games would have to meet to convince them of their merit. It’s a tough list.
(7)Still, Staudinger allows that brain games do have the benefit of being fun—which may make them a worthwhile way for people of any age to spend time. There’s no question that many consumers have become devoted to them. Lumosity, which offers some games free and a premium membership at a cost, says it reached 50 million members in 2013.
(8)The issue most scientists have with people playing the games frequently is the opportunity cost: you could be doing something else that actually would improve your cognitive ability. Most researchers agree that the activity most clearly proven to slow aging in the brain is aerobic exercise. Other factors that sound scientific research has shown to help an aging brain include healthy dietary
choices, regular meditation and learning new things.
(9)As brain games evolve and new, impartial research conducted, it’s possible that the scientific consensus about their impact on the brain will change. But Engle doesn’t think it’s likely. “I need fairly substantial evidence that it’s not kind of a gimmick,”he says. “I’m a scientist.”

Only two people shared her “special”seat : a fine old man in a velvet coat, his hands clasped over a huge carved walking-stick, and a big old woman, sitting upright, within a 37 of knitting on her embroidered apron. They did not speak. This was 38, for Miss Brill always looked 39 to the conversation. She had become really quite 40, she thought, at listening as though she didn’t 41, at sitting in other people’s lives just for a minute while they talked round her. Accordingly, I was considered one of the 42 ones. My scholarship to college was a ticket. People did not expect me to 43. Understanding this, I can understand the 44 in the minds of those in Watts when I was home last summer, working in the 45 poverty program. Rumors spread quickly that I was a FBI 46.

When white men first effect contact with some unspoilt race of savages, they offer them 47 kinds of benefits, from the light of the Gospel to 48 pie.

What they really value among the gifts that we bring to them is intoxicating liquor, which enables them, for the first 50 in their lives, to have the illusion, for a few brief moments, that it is better to be 51 than dead.
At the flower market she walked up and down in front of the stalls, and saw more clearly because of her decision, so she thought. She

I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me. I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,”he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?” “It’s OK” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.” “What do you do?” I asked. “I am a doctor at New York Hospital.” Many times during long rides, I’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help. “Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn’t answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?” He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.” He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.
2017年下半年教师资格证考试 《英语学科知识与教学能力》真题（高级中学） (总分150, 考试时间120分钟) 一、单项选择题 本大题共 30 小题，每小题 2 分，共 60 分。在每小题列出的四个备选项中选择一个最佳答案，错选、多选或未选均无分。 1. The sound of "th" in "thin" is ( ). A voiceless, dental, and fricative B voiced, dental, and fricative C voiceless, dental, and affricative D voiced, dental, and affricative 答案:A 本题考查辅音的发音。本题属于语音知识，也属于语言学中语音学的知识。th 字母组合在单词thin 中发/θ/音，发此音时，声带是不振动的，即不带声的（voiceless）；另外，发/θ/音时舌头要顶住牙齿，所以叫齿音（dental)；按照发音方式，它是空气通过与牙齿摩擦发出的声音，属于擦音（fricative）。故本题选 A。 2. Of all the following pairs of words, ( ) is a minimal pair. A boot and bought B deep and dog C either and neither D ghost and best 答案:A 本题考查音系学中的最小对立体。最小对立体（minimal pair）指除了出现在同一位置上的一个音之外其余都相同的两个语音组合。在音位分析中，只涉及一个音素差别的对立体叫做最小对立体。如 pen[pen]和 ben[ben]。几个选项中只有 A 项中两个单词的元音发音不同，前后两个音都是爆破音/b/和/t/。故本题选 A。 3. ( ) can fly very high in ( ) sky. A The birds…the B The birds…/ C Birds…the D Birds…/ 答案:C 本题考查冠词。句意为"鸟可以在天空中飞得很高"。"不定冠词+单数名词"或单个复数名词可表示一类，这里 birds 指的是鸟类，表示泛指，不加定冠词；sky 是世界上独一无二的事物，前面用定冠词 the 修饰。故本题选 C。 4. In my opinion she is kind and polite, so I put her rudeness today down as ( ). A ordinary B untimely C progessive D accidental 答案:D 本题考查形容词辨析。句意为"在我看来她是善良和有礼貌的，因此我认为她今天的粗鲁是偶然的"。ordinary"普通的"，untimely"过早的，不适时的"，progressive"进步的；进行的"，accidental"意外的，偶然的"。故本题选 D。 5.

Or, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool”kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t
2018年4月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题 课程代码：00012 一、阅读判断 Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in Retirement Ivy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says. The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm. As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread. Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired. Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society. 1. Ivy and her husband made a careful plan for retirement. A.
