The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned. “We wan t to see the president,” the man said softly. “He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary said coldly. “We’ll wait,” the lady replied. For hours, the secretary didn’t talk to them, hoping that the couple would finally become tired and go away. They didn’t. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance didn’t have the time to spend with nobodies. The president walked toward them unw illingly. The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and
I would like to set up a memorial(纪念碑) to him somewhere on campus. ” The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, “We can’t put up a statue(塑像) for every person who
attended Harvard and died, this place would look like a cemetery. “Oh, no” the lady explained, “We don’t want to build a statue. We thought we would give a buildin g to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, “A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? The physical building at Harvard cost seven million and a half.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a university?” Her husband nodded(点头). Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they set up the university with their name -------a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process（过程） in which the brain deals with information (). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy （准确性）.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to tell sounds (between "dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you're pretty quick. The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process. To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you：playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language.... "When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do 'use it or lose it'," says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University. 51. According to the new studies, what will happen to our brains? A. They will
not start slowing down until the age of 30 B. They will start working slowly after the age of 30 C. They can work as well as at a young age through certain exercises D. They can not be improved once they start to slow down 52. The writer mentioned many ways to speed up your brain, EXCEPT_____ A. doing a million new activities B. sleeping as much as possible C. playing some intelligent games D. playing table tennis 53. What can we learn from the text? A. Us ing right tools is important for brains’ work. B. Brain research deals with information from the Internet C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer, D. Many activities can keep our brains young. 54. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea? A. The train methods work better for the old. B. People should train the brain to stop it from aging. C. The training of the brain should start at an early age. D. It is necessary to take part in as many activities as possible. 55. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A. If you are 71 years old, your brain is too old to train. B. You can eat the food to keep your brain young and plastic. C. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to train brains. D. You will feel younger when you train your brain.

____B____ 55. ____C____ （C） Everyone has got two personalities �C the one that is shown to the world and the other that is sec ret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by
fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real f eelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn (顽固的) ,but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you d on’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people. 56.
