26、You know that eating healthy, staying active, and solving a few brain games can help keep your memory. But the following lesser-known habits work wonders too.
1. 【1】
When we sit with our shoulders bent forward, this defeated position actually causes us to feel anxious or depressed — which makes it harder to think clearly and remember things. Conversely (反过来), straight upright posture apparently improves memory because it boosts blood and oxygen flow to the brain.
2. Exercise — Once
Having trouble remembering faces? 【2】 In a study, pictures of faces were shown to
older folks after they pedal a stationary (静止的) bike at an intense pace or simply sit on a self-pedaling bike. On average, people remembered the faces better after the intense exercise. What’s more, the memory gains after a single workout were similar to the gains after 3 months of regular exercise.
3. Limit TV
Every parent and grandparent has heard that too much screen time can hurt a child’s
cognitive development. 【3】 According to a study, people (aged 50 or older) who watched
more than 3.5 hours of TV a day for 6 years experienced a greater drop in verbal memory test scores than those who watched less.
4. Draw aimlessly
A research shows those who drew the words remembered the most when recalling words. That’s because while some parts of the brain about getting memory back become worse as people
grow older, the picture processing regions usually don’t. 【4】
5. Walk Backward
【5】 Walk back! Backward motion — whether real, imagined, or watched — helps people remember the information better than sitting still and, in most cases, better than forward motion. It may be that moving backward in space mentally helps us move back in time to the moment we learned something.
A.Sit Tall.
B.Stand Straight.
C.Start more workouts.
D.Sweat for physical training.
E.Thus sketching can help adults keep their memory sharp.
F.But what about those at the other end of their life span?
G.Next time you’re trying to recall something, don’t just think back.
27、 Sherlock Holmes is considered by many people as the greatest detective in fictional literature. He is, in fact, more famous than his own creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the popular series of stories, Holmes is described as “tall and lean, pope-smoking, always in his cape and speaks in a splendid manner”. Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street, London, and to this day some visitors to London still go to Baker Street to search for 221-B. Of course, there never was really any such address. Holmes’ flat was supposed to be shared by the lovable, but sometimes clumsy (笨手笨脚的) Doctor Watson who went around with Holmes trying to solve crimes before Holmes did. Poor Dr Watson lost out to Holmes every time.
Doyle gave Holmes a masterly (高超的) skill of deduction—the ability to come up with interesting conclusion from the simplest clues found at the scene of a crime. Doyle said that the description of Holmes was modeled on one of his lecturers at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine. That man was Dr Joseph Bell. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet published in 1887. Holmes was so loved by all that when his author killed him off in one of his stories, readers wrote in anger to complain. They refused to allow Holmes to die! Holmes was brought back to “life” and appeared in further stories.
The stories of Sherlock Holmes have been reprinted many times ever since then. Today we can watch Holmes at work on cinema and television screens as well as on stage.
【1】What was Sherlock Holmes?
A.A detective story writer.
B.A lovable but clumsy doctor.
C.A character made up by Doyle.
D.The greatest detective in the real world.
【2】Who was Holmes supposed to live with?
A.Doyle.
B.Dr Watson.
C.His lecturers.
D.Dr Joseph Bell.
【3】Where did Doyle base his description of Holmes on?
A.The imagination of his own.
B.A famous London doctor.
C.Dr Joseph Bell at Edinburgh University.
D.A model of Sherlock Holmes.
【4】What caused Doyle’s readers angrily writing to complain?
A.They could not see any more stories of Doyle.
B.They couldn’t stand Dr Watson’s appearance.
C.They refused to allow Holmes to be more famous than Doyle.
D.They protested Holmes’ death written by Doyle.
