Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.
After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston.
The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.
Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.
When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong
But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion andmemory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says.
“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster
4. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?
A. Not all of them are related to one’s age.
B. Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.
C. They occur only among certain groups of people.
D. They are quite common among fifty-year-old people.
5. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously
A. Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.
B. Inability to recall details of one’s life experiences
C. Failure to remember the names of movies or actors
D. Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.
6. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?
A. Check the brain’s cognitive reserve.
B. Stop medications affecting memory.
C. Turn to a professional for assistance.
D. Exercise to improve their well-being
7. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice forfight against memory loss?
A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.
B. Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.
C. Engaging in known memory repair activities.
D. Staying active both physically and mentally
C
Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he wouldsmile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to – just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.
After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.
8. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me?
A. Generation gap.
B. Dad’s failure in business.
C. My ignorance of Dad.
D. Dad’s absence from the family.
9. Which of the following can best describe Dad?
A. Gentle but strict.
B. Hardworking and caring.
C. Cautious and realistic.
D. Demanding but patient.
10. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday?
A. To give her a lesson.
B. To follow his old habit.
C. To fix their relationship.
D. To praise her helpfulness.
11. Which saying concludes the text best?
A. Yesterday once more.
B. Let bygones be bygones.
C. Some things never change.
D. Like father, like daughter.
D
Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往)with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had noissues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It
doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.
12. Why did Jack come to the author’s home?
A. The author cared for an eyeless cat.
B. The author didn’t mind whether he was blind.
C. No other young cats kept him company.
D. The author’s friend begged the author to take him home.
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors.
B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.
C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.
D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.
14. What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Trouble.
B. Fun.
C. Luck.
D. Business.
15. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. A cat has nine lives.
B. All is well that ends well.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

Dear Jim,
I am delighted to know you are curious about the lecture delivering in my school last month. Here, I’d like to share some detail about it.
To solve the conflict with parents and build more harmony relationship, our school held a lecture Build a Bridge of Communication with Parents, which turned out a huge success. That impressed me most was the communication skills. When we made mistakes, we should make an apology for parents sincerely. Unless they did something wrong, we should stand in our shoes, understanding and forgiving them. In the end, the lecturer had appealed to us to show more respect and love to our parents.
From now on, I made up my mind to greet my parents more in gentle voice and care about them with all my heart. I do hope my letter will help you get the whole picture of the lecture.
Y ours,
