   A strong memory depends on the health and vitality(生命力)of your brain. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks,but when it comes to the brain,scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true. 【小题1】

Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to“use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you' ll be able to process and remember information. 【小题2】

Don't skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important to brain health, that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk of disorders that lead to memory loss.

Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get now and the amount you need to function at your best. 【小题3】

Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

Have a laugh. 【小题4】 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter involves multiple regions across the whole brain.

【小题5】 Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains,“healthy”fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it's not just what you eat — it's also what you don't eat.

A.Play games with memory.
B.Keep a brain-enhancing diet.
C.Laughter is the best medicine.
D.But oversleeping is not good for your brain.
E.Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!
F.You have to do some workouts from time to time!
G.The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

   How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.
【小题1】
For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(排练) encourage this by running through the lines or having a"read-through". By the time the opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.
Listen to your cast members
Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 【小题2】. This will help the actors learn their lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbing.

【小题3】

Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play's dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own lines. 【小题4】. Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.
Think positively and don't panic
Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don't freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 【小题5】.
A.Record your lines
B.Practice makes perfect
C.Read lines loud and repeat them
D.Remember the lines in a short time
E.Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization
F.Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines
G.Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times

   Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences(TV programmes, movies, video games and some books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus.
Parents do this out of love, but for some children,lying can become a problem. The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and giving them punishment. But as ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.
However, what counts is to praise. You could ask your child to say something that happened at school and that is true. It is not important what that is. This is about practice. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific like"That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!"and give your child a hug or a high five. If your child says something true in the course of his or her day, praise that behavior too. Aim for one or two interactions like this a day. If you happen to "catch"your child in a lie, say something like "That is not true and could get you in trouble; it is better to say the truth."
Besides, you should set a good example for your kids and tell the truth directly. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if he plays along.
In most cases, children are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go. Rather, use very mild punishments(light scolding, short loss of privilege(特权) or brief time out). More severe or long-lasting punishments(shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.
Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are. Usually the frequency of lying can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, it can be dramatically lessened.
【小题1】Which punishment is quite ineffective?
A.Brief time out.
B.Light scolding.
C.Short loss of privilege.
D.Taking away something for a week.
【小题2】What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Parents can tell lies sometimes.
B.Lying will disappear thoroughly.
C.Punishments cannot change behavior.
D.Praising parents a lot is beneficial.
【小题3】Which of the following could serve as the best title?
A.Is Lying a Problem?
B.Can Kids Stop Lying?
C.What Can You Do When Kids Tell Lies?
D.How Can You Punish Your Kids for Lying?

   We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.

【小题1】 When I started my Ph.

A.program,I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later,I found out that almost everyone felt this way,too.

You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper,don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t.

【小题2】 You are you. You are not your sister.

【小题3】 It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you on that,then you are wrong. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.

【小题4】 Our sense of self-worth is based on our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents,our peers,teachers,the media and our own labels. But guess what?They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts,it doesn’t make them true.【小题5】

A.You need to stop chasing perfection.
B.You need to change your thought patterns.
C.You have the power to change your future.
D.So focus on your own passions and talents.
E.You are not the only one who feels this way.
F.If you love yourself for who you are,other people will notice.
G.One of my favorite sayings is,“Don’t believe a negative thought you think!”

   Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. 【小题1】 The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.

Before getting into the recommendation, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. 【小题2】 If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.

【小题3】 When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. 【小题4】

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. 【小题5】 Happy reading!

A.If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful.
B.The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in.
C.You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.
D.You should just find a topic or author you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there.
E.You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.
F.Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.
G.This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story.
