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
Many cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.
Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.
Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.
Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.
About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.
Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.
B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.
C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.
D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.
9. Why do many people choose white cars?
A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..
B. They are much safer while crashing.
C. They are bigger than cars of other color1 s.
D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.
10. What do we know from the text?
A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.
B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.
C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.
D. Green cars were once popular in North America.
11. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Choices of car color1 s
B. How to buy a good car.
C. Differences of car color1 s.
D. Popular car color1 s in history.

Conducting interviews for news stories is an important skill for any journalist. To start, do as much research as you can and prepare a list of questions to ask. Once the interview starts, try to develop a rapport(融洽的关系) with your "source"—anyone a journalist interviews, but don't waste your time. If your source starts to talk about things that are clearly of no use to you, don't be afraid to gently but firmly turn the conversationback to the topic at hand.
It's an old debate among journalists: Which works better when interviewing a source, taking notes (the
old-fashioned way) or using a cassette or digital voice recorder? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A reporter's notebook and a pen or pencil are the easy-to-use, time-honored tools of the interviewing trade, while recorders enable you to get everything someone says word for word. Which works better? It depends on what kind of story you're doing.
Many beginning reporters complain that with a notepad and pen, they can never take down everything a source says in an interview. But you don't have to note everything down. Keep in mind that you're probably not going to use everything they say in your story. So don't worry if youlet slipa few things.
So you've done a long interview with a source, you have pages of notes, and you're ready to write. But chances are you'll only be able to choose a few quotes from that information collected directly from the source. Which ones should you use? Reporters often talk about using only "good" quotes for their stories, but what does this mean? Broadly speaking, when someone says something interesting, and says it in an interesting way, that can make a good quote.
12. What is a journalist advised to do during an interview?
A. Be gentle with the source.
B. Carry on a long conversation.
C. Make the conversation interesting.
D. Prevent the conversation being off-topic.
13. What do the underlined words "let slip" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. give away
B. leave out
C. get rid of
D. take up
14. What is considered as a good quote for a reporter?
A. A direct quote.
B. An important point of view.
C. A piece of basic information.
D. Something funny a source says interestingly.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The job of a journalist.
B. The process of interviewing.
C Some facts about interviewing. D. The relationship between a journalist and a source.
