22、   You can take fish oil supplements or you can invest in a language class, puzzle books, or a few hours of exercise every week. There are countless methods to improve your memory. 【1】

Why can such an ordinary activity improve your brain？【2】“Typically, when you read, you have more time to think,” says Maryanne Wolf, director of the UCLA Center, “Reading gives you a unique pause button for comprehension and insight. By and large, with oral language — when you watch a film or listen to a tape — you don’t press pause.”

【3】 A small study at Emory University found that some of those benefits persisted for five days. “We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory,” says Gregory Berns, PhD, director at Emory.

What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to get these benefits?【4】 Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University studied children aged eight to ten who were below-average readers. One hundred hours of remedial reading classes significantly improved the quality of their brains’ white matter—the tissue that carries signals between areas of gray matter, where information is processed. 【5】

So turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two — and just read.

A.A research may help relieve this worry.

B.It indicates the brains of these children somewhat got improved.

C.But the cheapest and easiest way to sharpen your brain is reading.

D.The problem with dyslexics is that their brains work differently from others’.

E.And the benefits of reading continue long after you’ve put down that great book.

F.It’s common that the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading.

G.That’s because the very nature of reading encourages the brain to work harder and better.

23、In any family with more than one child, children seem to naturally compete for their parents’ love and attention. Parents say they love every child equally. But is that true?

Susan, founder of a consulting firm in Chicago, interviewed 216 women and found that even though none of her questions asked directly about a parent favoring one child over another, about two-third of the women said there was a favored child. And they also remembered their experience when they were young. One of the women said, “My mother always liked my brother better, and he got to summer camp in 1968 and I didn’t.

Plumez, who interviewed parents with both biological children (亲生孩子 ) and adoptive children for an adoption book in 2008, found that what matters most is whether your temperaments (性情 ) are pleasing. “In some cases, parents would say they felt closer to their adopted children, ”she says. “Some parents like the children with characters similar to theirs. Two people who are shy and withdrawn (内向的) might get along well, unless the shy parent doesn’t like that aspect of themselves and they try to push the naturally withdrawn child to be more extroverted.”

It could be a result of gender, birth order or how easy or difficult a child’s temperament may be, but a parent’s different treatment has far-reaching effects. Studies have found that less-favored children may suffer emotionally, with decreased self-esteem and behavioral problems in children. Favoritism (偏爱) is a reason for the next generation not to like each other.

Experts say it’s not realistic to say everyone should be treated equally, because no two people are the same and they related differently to others.

“It does not mean the parent loves or likes one child more. It has to do with which one of them is independent,” says psychologist Lauriet Kramer of the University of Illinois.

【1】The study carried out by Susan shows that ________.

A. showing favoritism is common in many families

B. most mothers like their sons better than their daughters

C. only two-thirds of the women interviewed have more than a child

D. it is favoritism that leads to absence of harmony in most families

【2】The underlined word “ extroverted” in the third paragraph means ________.

A. independent  B. outgoing  C. easygoing  D. awful

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Favoritism is not beneficial to the development of children

B. Parents’ favoritism to a certain child can’t be avoided in families.

C. Parents may be favorite one of their children and don’t realize it.

D. People are very much shaped by how they were treated by their parents.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Parents’ favoritism can affect children deeply

B. Why do parents show favoritism to children?

C. Parents should give attention to all their children

D. Building a harmonious family is important to children

25、The term “midlife crisis” was first coined in the 1960s, when remaining a traditional adult lost its attraction for some, and the temptation to join in with the experimentations of the youth of the time became too strong to ________. It was thought to occur mostly with men between the ages of 40 and 60, and there have always seemed to be some people who follow its ________ pattern, apparently unable to see that they have become a figure of fun.

According to recent studies, however, things have changed, and the midlife crisis itself has undergone a major ________ over the years. For a start, a desperate attempt to hang on to a more ________ appearance clearly passes the equal-opportunities test these days, with so many women going under the cosmetic surgeon’s knife that the men’s preference for a little hair dye seems tame ________. And it all begins even younger. One of the reasons for a major identity crisis appears to have been the ________ of long-held career goals, leading to an empty sense of “ ...so what now”? With younger people achieving senior management positions much ________ (the average age of CEOs has fallen from 59 to 48 in the last generation), these career plateaus (停滞期) can come much earlier in life. Even for those who aren’t as ________, severe work pressure often leads to a need to re-evaluate career options in one’s 30s, bringing on a crossroads moment well before the big four-oh is reached. This ________ women too these days, and whether career-oriented or not, another factor for mothers is the confusing ________ that hits them when the children have left home.

Many of the people who responded to surveys on the topic ________ the term “midlife crisis” itself, however, and the way it is used. The majority of respondents thought it was an insulting stereotype, and men said that while they are ________ for “letting themselves go” as they get older, any attempt to take care of their appearance after the age of 40 was often met with ridicule and the accusation of a midlife crisis.

Perhaps we need to remember that we get the word “crisis” from the Greek krisis, meaning “turning point”. It’s not difficult to see, as the psychologist Carl Jung explained in some detail, that while our personalities may alter somewhat throughout life, there should come a time when the ego identity we’ve grown up with undergoes a big change ________ the second half of life. And it’s not as if exploring new activities and deciding to get in better ________ is something to be criticized. As a spokesman for Jeep, one of the companies who carried out one of the surveys, said, “The traditional image of a midlife crisis is dead and ________. Nowadays it’s more about living for the moment and making the most of things and leading an active and healthy lifestyle.”

Grandpa Rick loved styling his hair but with the chemotherapy(化疗)treatments, his hair stared getting really thin. Jackson knew his grandpa felt pretty disheartened about losing his hair. So, he decided to do something to cheer him up and make him feel less alone. He couldn’t make cancer go away, but he could support his grandpa during his treatments. He decided to shave his own head and told his grandpa he wouldn't be alone, and that he wouldn’t be the only one losing his hair.

However, at school the next day, Jackson’s friends had a different attitude to his hairstyle. Some of his classmates teased and bullied him about his shaved head. One student call him “baldy” and another said “you look like having a cancer” At first, Jackson felt enraged at the comments, but his anger turned to sadness later on.

When Jackson got home from school, without saying anything, he locked himself in his room. His mother knocked at the door, asking what had happened. The door finally opened. Out he came. With disappointment on his face, he murmured, “My classmates made fun of my haircut. Nobody in this world could know my sorrow.” After saying these, he buried his face in his mother’s chest and burst out crying. The mother, too, felt angry and disappointed with the kids at school.

She decided to reach out to Principal(校长) Tom Hadley and tell him about her son being bullied. When he returned her call, he asked if she still had the clippers(理发剪) Jackson cut his hair with.
