Passage1

The Spring Festival together with the winter holidays often means sharing cakes, candies and other delicious

food with friends and families. Most people will eat more than they usually do. But doctors find out that

what you eat may affect how well you remember things. This is bad news for people who eat too much.

Forgetfulness seems to many people an inevitable part of aging. As our bodies grow older, most of us

find that many things we

should remember are slipping out of minds. But new facts show that it is possible

to slow time's effects on our minds.

Once people thought that the brain could not make new cells, but now studies show that learning new

things can help brain grow and keep the illness away from the brain.

Professor Eric Kandel, a Nobel Prize winner for his study of the human memory, says the best way to

save our memories is to keep our brains in good shape. Through mental exercise, he says, people can keep

their memories whole into their 80s and 90s.

And Mark Mattson, a professor at the National Institute on Aging, says that reducing the amount of

calories fed to older rats and mice by thirty percent can be a good help to learning and memory. While

it is hard for many people to go on their diet like that, doctors tell us that even small steps can make

big difference.

A：It was believed that nothing new could help brain grow.

B：It is possible for us to slow time's effects on our bodies.

Passage2

Oil is so important that it is sometimes called "black gold". Almost half of our energy comes from

oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday

things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you wash your hands with might

also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.

Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there

was oil someplace if it leaked out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One

tool measures the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another

tool is sound waves. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use
