26、Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.
Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1, 000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a series of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.
Those who had held mentally stimulating （刺激），demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive （认知的）function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists took the participants' overall health status into consideration.
"This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “After a long run, you may feel like you're in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work--sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy."
It's not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit. She points out. A waiter's job. for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And "running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating," she says. "You have to bring order to the activities of the children and lake care of the bills and groceries."
Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons - including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.
【1】Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests?
A．To assess their health level.
B．To evaluate their work habits.
C．To measure their mental ability.
D．To analyze their personality.
【2】How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4?
A．By using an expert's words.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By referring to another study.
D．By introducing a concept.
【3】What does the underlined word “coordinating“ in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Cooperating.
B．Exploring.
C．Team working.
D．Organizing.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Retired Workers Can Pick Up New Skills
B．Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs
C．Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp
D．Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age
27、A woman who lost one leg in a traffic accident is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon-length runs in 102 days. A marathon is a race that goes 42 kilometers.
Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who lives in the Western American state of Arizona, set her goal last month. And every day since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60字左右的内容概要。
Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article, we will learn about some positive reasons for people to share information online.
94% of those surveyed by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others. We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain, or pleasantly surprise them. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes(引述), entertaining videos, humorous images, funny jokes, etc.
A lot of people share information online to picture their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with others.
According to the study, 78% of the people said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, people are so busy that they do not have the time to meet each other personally. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in places like restaurants and pubs.
Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively communicating with a large number of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will affect the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.
