一、阅读选择More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural（农村）India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front ofhim-so he got on.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage（孤儿院）. There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district from a bird's-eye view. He thought, “O n the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. "And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain"-and there it was. Everything just started to match.When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. "There's something about me, " he thought—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.In an interview Brierley says, "My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion（核聚变）. I just didn't knowstanding in front of her. ”1．Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago?A．He got on a train by mistake.B．He got lost while playing in the street.C．He was taken away by a foreigner.D．He was adopted by an Australian family.2．How did Brierley find his hometown?A．By analyzing old pictures.B．By travelling all around India.C．By studying digital maps.D．By spreading his story via his book.3．What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?A．His love for his mother.B．His reunion with his mother.C．His long way back home.D．His memory of his hometown.At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent.The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities（机会）for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a “good”, quickly followed b y "I'm hungry". This is also my experience as a mother. Butsomewhere over the daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes（路线）, with days of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning-running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but it's certainly worth trying.4．Why does the author mention Watkins' predictions in the first paragraph?A．To make comparisons. B．To introduce the topic.C．To support her argument. D．To provide examples.5．What has caused the decrease in Australian children's physical activity?A．Plain laziness. B．Health problems.C．Lack of time. D．Security concerns.6．Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?A．She can get relaxed after work. B．She can keep physically fit.C．She can help with her son's study. D．She can know her son better.Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a "vocabulary" of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member."That's what's so amazing about chimp gestures," she said. "They're the only thing that looks like human language in that respect. ”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal's call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling:" Climb on me. " The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. "The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so that's not unique to humans," said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were "a little disappointing"."The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions," she said. "Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. "7．What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter? A．Memorizing specific words. B．Understanding complex information. C．Using voices to communicate. D．Communicating messages on purpose. 8．What did Dr Shultz think of the study?A．It was well designed but poorly conducted.B．It was a good try but the findings were limited.C．It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.D．It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.9．What does the underlined word "gulf" in the last paragraph mean?A．Difference. B．Conflict. C．Balance. D．Connection. 10．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughB．Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsC．Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD．Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated二、七选五You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.checked out and off to the parking lot. 11．It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. 12．Any small interruption - a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:13．So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 14．This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.15．It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?C．Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.E.How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?F.With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.G.But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.三、完形填空Last year I decided to do some volunteer work.

Let’s fabricate a passage suitable for high school students.)Let’s proceed with a fictional passage and then formulate the questions.III. Reading Comprehension - Section AFirst QuestionPassage:The Importance of SleepIn today’s fast-paced world, it is easy to overlook the importance of sleep. Sleep is not just a time when the body rests; it is a crucial period during which the brain processes new information and memories. According to recent studies, getting adequate sleep is essential for cognitive function and overall health.Researchers have found that sleep plays a key role in learning and memory consolidation. During deep sleep, the brain strengthens connections between neurons, which helps encode new information into long-term memory. Furthermore, a good night’s rest can improve problem-solving skills and creativity. Sleep deprivation, on the other hand, can lead to decreased cognitive performance, irritability, and an increased risk of accidents.For optimal health benefits, experts recommend that adults aim for seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Adolescents require even more, as their growingbodies need additional rest to support physical development and mental health. Establishing a regular sleep schedule and creating a sleep-conducive environment can help individuals achieve better quality sleep.Despite these findings, many people still sacrifice sleep for work, social activities, or screen time. It is important to prioritize sleep and recognize its value in maintaining overall well-being. By making sleep a priority, individuals can enhance their ability to learn, think creatively, and stay healthy.Questions:1、What does the passage primarily discuss?2、According to the passage, what happens during deep sleep?3、How many hours of sleep do experts recommend for adults per night?4、What might be the consequence of not prioritizing sleep according to the text?Answers:1、The importance of sleep for cognitive function and overall health.2、The brain strengthens connections between neurons, helping encode new information into long-term memory.3、Seven to nine hours of sleep per night.4、Decreased cognitive performance, irritability, and an increased risk of accidents.第二题Reading PassageIn the small coastal town of Seaview, the annual Sea Festival was a grand event that brought together residents and tourists from all over the country. The festival featured a variety of activities, including a parade, music performances, and a grand fireworks display. One of the highlights of the festival was the traditional boat race, where local boat builders and sailors showcased their skills and craftsmanship.The boat race was a competition that had been part of the festival for over a century.

Traditional libraries have evolved to serve as community hubs and learning centers, while also maintaining their fundamental role of providing access to books and information. The advent of e-books and online databases has not diminished their importance but rather reshaped it.The physical space of libraries now includes quiet study areas, computer labs equipped with internet access, and multimedia zones where patrons can explore resources beyond the printed page. Libraries have become a place for community engagement, offering workshops on various topics such as digital literacy, job skills, and even arts and crafts.Moreover, librarians have taken on new roles as facilitators of learning and knowledge. They assist patrons in navigating vast amounts of information available both offline and online, ensuring that the community is well-informed and digitally literate. In this evolving landscape, libraries remain crucial not only for personal development but also for fostering a sense of community and shared learning.Questions1. What change has occurred in the role of libraries due to the rapid advancement of digital technology?A. Libraries have become less important.B. Libraries have stopped providing books.C. Libraries have evolved into community hubs and learning centers.D. Libraries have reduced their services to the community.Answer: C2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of the new facilities in modern libraries?A. Quiet study areas.B. Computer labs with internet access.C. Multimedia zones.D. Virtual reality gaming stations.Answer: D3. How do librarians support patrons in the digital age?A. By limiting access to digital resources.B. By discouraging the use of online databases.C. By assisting patrons in navigating information both offline and online.D. By focusing solely on traditional book lending services.Answer: C4. According to the passage, why are libraries still considered essential in today’s society?A. Because they provide a place exclusively for reading books.B. Because they contribute to personal development and community engagement.C. Because they no longer offer any form of digital assistance.D. Because they have ceased to be relevant in the digital age.Answer: B第四题Reading PassageIn the past few decades, the world has seen significant changes in the way we communicate and access information. The rise of the internet has revolutionized our lives, making it easier than ever to connect with others and to find the information we need. However, these changes have also brought about challenges, such as information overload and privacy concerns.The following passage discusses the impact of the internet on our lives and the steps we can take to navigate these challenges.Passage:The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. We use it for everything from checking the weather to ordering groceries. This has made it possible for us to access information and communicate with others from anywhere in the world. However, this convenience comes with a price. We are now bombarded with more information than ever before, and it can be difficult to separate the useful from the useless.One of the biggest challenges of the internet is information overload. With so much information available, it can be hard to know where to start. This can lead to confusion and frustration. Additionally, the ease of sharing informationonline has made it easier for false information to spread. This can have serious consequences, such as influencing elections and causing panic.Another challenge is privacy. The internet has made it possible for companies to collect vast amounts of personal data. This can be used to target us with advertisements and to manipulate our behavior. We must be vigilant about protecting our personal information online.Despite these challenges, the internet offers many benefits. It has made it easier to connect with friends and family, to learn new things, and to access information that was previously unavailable. To navigate these challenges, we can take several steps. We can use tools to filter out the noise and focus on the information that is most important to us. We can also be more careful about the information we share online and the websites we visit.Questions:1、What is the main idea of the passage?A. The internet has made our lives easier.B. The internet has brought about both benefits and challenges.C. We should avoid using the internet.D. The internet is only useful for shopping.2、What is the main challenge mentioned in the passage regarding the internet?A. Lack of information.B. Information overload.C. No privacy.D. Too many advertisements.3、According to the passage, what can be done to address information overload?A. Stop using the internet.B. Use tools to filter out the noise.C. Share more information online.D. Ignore the information that is not important.4、What is the author’s attitude towards the internet?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Critical but hopeful.Answers:1、B2、B3、B4、D四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Part IV Reading ComprehensionSection BDirections: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The Power of KindnessIn a world where competition and success are highly valued, it is easy to overlook the power of kindness. Kindness is more than just an act of goodwill; it can have a profound impact on individuals and communities alike. Research has shown that kindness not only improves our health and well-being but also helps create stronger bonds between people.In a study conducted by the University of California, researchers found that when people perform acts of kindness, their brains release endorphins, creating a positive feeling known as the “helper’s high.” This means that not only do the recipients of kind acts benefit from them, but also those who perform them.Moreover, kindness can be contagious. When we see someone else performing a kind act, we are more likely to do the same, which leads to a ripple effect of positive actions. This was evident in a viral video where a man helped an elderly woman cross the street, inspiring others to offer assistance to those in need.However, kindness should not be confused with naivety or weakness. It requires strength and courage to be kind, especially when it is not reciprocated. True kindness comes from the heart and does not expect anything in return. It is about making a difference in the lives of others without seeking recognitionor reward.In conclusion, kindness is a powerful force that can transform lives and communities. Whether it is through small gestures like smiling at a stranger or larger acts such as volunteering, every act of kindness counts. As the saying goes, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”Questions:1.According to the passage, what positive feeling do people experience after performing acts of kindness?2.How does the author describe the effect of witnessing kind acts on others?3.What does the passage suggest about the misconception of kindness?4.Can you identify one example provided in the text that illustrates the contagious nature of kindness?5.What is the main message conveyed by the passage?Answers:1.People experience the “helper’s high.”2.Witnessing kind acts can inspire others to perform similar deeds.3.Kindness should not be mistaken for naivety or weakness; it requires strength and courage.4.A viral video showed a man helping an elderly woman cross the street, which inspired others to assist those in need.5.The main message is that kindness is a powerful force capable of transforming lives and communities.以上是一个模拟题，用于演示“英语高考试卷”中的“四、阅读第二节”。

First,he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water.Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse—like facility that treated sewage(污水)from1,600homes in South Burlington.He also designed aneco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,a city in southeast China.“Ecological design”is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,”he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”4.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?A.He was fond of traveling.B.He enjoyed being alone.C.He had an inquiring mind.D.He longed to be a doctor.5.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?A.To feed the animals.B.To build an ecosystem.C.To protect the plants.D.To test the eco-machine.6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?A.To review John’s research plans.B.To show an application of John’s idea.C.To compare John’s different jobs.D.To erase doubts about John’s invention.7.What is the basis for John’s work?A.Nature can repair itself.anisms need water to survive.C.Life on Earth is diverse.D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.CThe goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism,including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works,and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.To do so,I divided the book into two parts.In part one,I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism,starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable,before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy:the digital declutter.This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days.At the end of the thirty days,you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.In the final chapter of part one,I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so,I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in2018in which over1,600people agreed to perform a digital declutter.You’ll hear these participants’stories and learn what strategies worked well for them,and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate(培养)a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle.In these chapters,I examine issues such as the importance of solitude(独处)and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use.Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices,which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter.You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that words for your particular circumstances.8.What is the book aimed at?A.Teaching critical thinking skills.B.Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.C.Solving philosophical problems.D.Promoting the use of a digital device.9.What does the underlined word“declutter”in paragraph3mean?A.Clear-up.B.Add-on.C.Check-in.D.Take-over.10.What is presented in the final chapter of part one?A.Theoretical models.B.Statistical methods.C.Practical examples.D.Historical analyses.11.What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?e them as needed.B.Recommend them to friends.C.Evaluate their effects.D.Identify the ideas behind them.DOn March7,1907,the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the“wisdom of crowds”effect.The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases,the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors,those errors aren’t always the same.Some people will tend to overestimate,and some to underestimate.When enough of these errors are averaged together,they cancel each other out,resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similar and tend to make the same errors,then their errors won’t cancel each other out.In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons,people’s errors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转折)on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from20independent individuals.In a follow-up study with100university students,the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion.Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates?Did they follow those least willing to change their minds?This happened some of the time,but it wasn’t the dominant response.Most frequently,the groups reported that they“shared arguments and reasoned together.”Somehow,these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.12.What is paragraph2of the text mainly about?A.The methods of estimation.B.The underlying logic of the effect.C.The causes of people’s errors.D.The design of Galton’s experiment.13.Navajas’study found that the average accuracy could increase even if________.A.the crowds were relatively smallB.there were occasional underestimatesC.individuals did not communicateD.estimates were not fully independent14.What did the follow-up study focus on?A.The size of the groups.B.The dominant members.C.The discussion process.D.The individual estimates.15.What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’studies?A.Unclear.B.Dismissive.C.Doubtful.D. Approving.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020年浙江省高考英语试卷【word版本;可编辑;含答案】
2020年浙江省高考英语试卷一、阅读理解1.I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright（剧作家）hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility（多面性）of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book. To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim（变暗）. The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.（1）What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.He has written dozens of plays.B.He has a deep love for the theater.C.He is a professional stage actor.D.He likes reading short plays to others.（2）What does the author avoid doing in his work?A.Stating the plays' central ideas.B.Selecting works by famous playwrights.C.Including various types of plays.D.Offering information on the playwrights.（3）What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays? A.Control their feelings. B.Apply their acting skills.e their imagination.D.Keep their audience in mind.（4）What is this text?A.A short story.B.An introduction to a book.C.A play review.D.An advertisement for a theater.2.The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30 am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33 am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city, just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection（十字路口）signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home."Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed," says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University. For all of Bellevue's success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. "It's not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities," he says.In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department's traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.（1）What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Increased length of green lights.B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.C.Flexible timing of traffic signals.D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.（2）What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?A.They work better on broad roads.B.They should be used in other cities.C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.D.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.（3）What can we learn from Bellevue's success?A.It is rewarding to try new things.B.The old methods still work today.C.I pays to put theory into practice.D.The simplest way is the best way.3.Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1,000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.Those who had held mentally stimulating（刺激）, demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive（认知）function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants' overall health status."This works just like physical exercise," says Francisca Then, who led the study. "After a long run, you may feel like you're in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy."It's not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiter's job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And "running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating（协调）," she says. "You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries."Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.。
