Do you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body, not in your short-term memory bank.
Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B" could stand for "brain", if you're one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of that vitamin is sunflower seeds.
Even when you're sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. For it to work properly, it must be fed. Even if you're not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day. A muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In Chinese culture, walnuts（核桃）are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, you'll live longer.
However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind almost everything".
64. The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means .
A. brain
B. dinner
C. calorie
D. cake
65. In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned to
A. support the idea of long life
B. show the importance of vitamin B-1
C. warn the readers of two organs
D. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds
66. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. What we eat every day has a great effect on our memory.
B. 30 percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping.
C. It doesn't make difference to our brain whether we have breakfast.
D. Our memory depends largely on short-term memory bank.
67. The best title for the passage could be
A. Causes of Memory Loss
B. Vitamin B-2 and Health
C. Forgetful? But not Brain
D. Chinese Culture of Long Life
D
In today’s Internet age, online games can be a change from the pressure of school and work. However, they can also cause problems and unhealthy addictions. This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. This country has the world’s highest percentage of high – speed Internet services. It has also a high number of game players who are addicted to online games.
In , a young man died after playing online games almost nonstop for 86 hours. A 12 – year – old boy stole $ 16,000 from his father to continue online games which he could not get away from. Such problems are spreading to other parts of Asia as well. In , it was reported that about 80 percent of China’s 13.8 million online game players were under 25. And many of these were said to be addicted. Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.
Dr. Sue – Huei Chen, a psychologist（心理学家）, discovered some signs of at – risk people. Such people often go online to escape from their problems. And they usually have no friendship or good social skills. They feel the need to spend more and more time online, so they may be absent from school or family.

Did you know that vegetables can grow in the climates they are not used to? Cool climate vegetables like asparagus（芦笋）are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine（海的）engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables that they are living in cooler climates. In that way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold sea water. How did they use it? They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates（热带气候）to grow crops from cooler climates. Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air “wet” and thus water the gardens. What especially makes people happy about this process（过程）is that nothing to the natural conditions is being used. Another new use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that for example the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater.
72. What does the new system enable the gardeners to do?
A. Water the field with seawater.
B. Grow asparagus in hot places.
C. Grow cool climate vegetables in hot areas.
D. Cool the soil.
73. Sea water mentioned in the passage is mainly used to________.
A. water the farms
B. water the gardens
C. cool the air
D. make the earth cool
74. What is the report mainly about?
A. How to grow vegetables in hot areas.
B. How to grow crops in tropical climates.
C. How to cool the soil.
D. How to use sea water.
75. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. sea water can act as an air-conditioner
B. asparagus are only grown in hot places
C. the writer wants to tell us something about scientific advance
D. sea water has many advantages

Television presents a very vivid world to us on television,. We can watch exciting Olympic football matches. We can travel New York or have sightseeing in London. We can also “go” to a concert with a cup of tea in our hand. From TV, we can learn many things happening in the world without going outside our houses.
Television also plays an educational role in our daily life. By proving various TV university courses, television offers various educational programs to different viewers.
However, television can also be harmful. It hurts our eyes. Watching TV too much influences our sleep and work and cut down children’s study time.
In short, we should regard television as our assistant, not our master.。
