21、Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit — and that can be a very annoying thing. 【1】 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1【2】
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 【3】 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2 Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 【4】
3Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 【5】
A.Focus on the future.
B.This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C.It should be something like learning gardening, or go dancing with your friends.
D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E.But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events.
F.Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G.In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
22、The Mississippi State University Extension Service is offering the Master Gardener training and certification online again this year,
Participants take 40 hours of instruction in horticulture and related topics to become expert volunteers. Learn more and register for the first Master Gardener class of 2022 from February 1 to February 28 at http://msuext.ms/mg. Instruction for all classes is online and self-paced. The online class material is offered from March 15 to May 15.
About Volunteering
“The Master Gardener program trains active volunteers who exchange the 40 hours of educational training they receive for 40 hours of volunteer service within one year of their training,” said Jeff Wilson, a horticulture specialist of the Master Gardener program. “These Master Gardeners continue to be assets to their communities as, in future years, they continue to receive training and spend a minimum of 20 community service hours a year to maintain their certified status.”
The volunteer work of Master Gardeners helps local Extension offices reach a broader audience than is possible through just the efforts of Extension agents. Volunteers take on a variety of community beautification projects and extend the educational arm of the university to the public by providing horticultural information based on university research and recommendations.
“Master Gardener volunteers experience the personal satisfaction of serving their community, gaining horticultural expertise and connecting with their local gardening community,” Wilson said.
Fees
The cost for Master Gardener training is $ 125 for those who want to become certified volunteers and provide 40 hours of service. For $ 200, the same material is available for those not interested in the volunteer service component.

23、After braving wind, snow, and dizzying heights in the mountains, a dog named Mera may have broken a world record without even knowing it. She began following a group of climbers who were getting ready to climb up to the top of Mount Baruntse in Nepal—it stands just south of Mount Qomolangma at 23,389 feet tall. Mera was easily frightened when the climbers first met her down in the village of Khare, so they were shocked when she suddenly bounded up next to them while they were coming down another mountain at 17,000 feet.
Mera had passed dozens of other climbers that she could have pleased, and focused her eyes on the leader of this month—long expedition, Seattle—based Don Wargowsky. In no time they were like peas and carrots. Don happily shared his sleeping bag,tent,and meals with his new companion while the crew was hiking to the Mount Baruntse Base Camp over the next two weeks.
When it finally came time to depart from the base camp and begin their climb up the mountain, Don knew the walk was not easy for a dog, so he tied her up near the camp.“She kept barking as we walked away,” said Don. “Half an hour into our climb I felt a tickle(发痒)on the back of my knee. I looked down and saw Mera following right behind me just like before.”
After reaching the last mountain camp before the summit, the climbing crew left Mera sleeping in Don’s tent with the hope that she would not try to follow them up the steep climb. Don was then surprised when he later turned around at 22,000 feet in order to take a photo only to see Mera climbing towards them slowly. Finally, after a long climb, they reached the summit and took photos celebrating the first dog to top Mount Baruntse.
【1】What was true about Mera when the climbers first met her?

D.they were faithful climbing lovers
【3】The climbers left Mera sleeping in Don’s tent because

B.she kept troubling them on the way
C.she was too weak to go on climbing

24、Below are some tips for women traveling alone.
Exercise hotel safely
There are many ways you can make a solo stay at a hotel safer. When filling out guest registration forms, consider using your first initial instead of your name, and skip the “Mrs. /Miss /Mr.” check box. Additionally, make sure the clerk writes down your room number instead of saying it out loud. This will prevent anyone nearby from knowing where to find you later.
Keep your documents safe
If you choose to wear a money belt, use it for storage and not as a purse. Constantly reaching under your shirt for money draws attention to it. Instead, keep your passport, extra stores of money, and other important documents well hidden, and use a bag or purse for carrying daily spending money.
Dress appropriately
To avoid attracting unwanted attention, dress as conservatively as the women you see around you. Bare arms, shoulders, and legs are considered risked in some countries, so do the research before you go and once you’re there. Note which body parts the local women cover and do the same.
Know when to make friends
Traveling alone doesn’t always mean being alone. There are plenty of situations in which seeking out company can make for a safer and more enjoyable experience. Smaller hotels and hostels are great places to find like- minded travelers to explore new places with. Sticking close to families on public transportation is another technique some women use.
Show confidence to a great extent
Whether you’re on a street at home or 7,000 miles away, walking confidently, since appearing lost or confused can make you weak and easily damaged. If you are lost, walk into a shop or restaurant and ask for directions there. Try to avoid obviously looking at maps in the street.
【1】The main purpose of the passage is to tell women ________.
A.where to travel alone
B.how to make a safe and enjoyable trip
C.what to read on travel
D.how to meet new people when traveling
【2】To have a safer and enjoyable journey, a woman traveling alone should ________.
A.stay away from the crowds
B.use a money belt rather than a bag
C.wear the attractive dress
D.find like-minded travelers for company
【3】Which is the safest way for a woman when she gets lost along the way?
A.Keeping the important documents well hidden.
B.Looking at maps when she is in the street.
C.Asking the way in a store or in a restaurant.
D.Finding a place to stay and get her bearings before dark
25、Did you ever have to say “no” to somebody? Such as a classmate asking to have breakfast with you? New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection shouldn’t include an —___________. In other words, saying you are sorry doesn’t make the person being rejected feel any better. ___________, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is ___________.Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they ___________ a request.
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different ___________ of social rejection. In one instance, the researchers asked people for their ___________ after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor ___________ an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were ___________. People were asked how they would ___________ if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more ___________ by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
Gili Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like that the rejection was ___________ — even when they felt-like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of ___________, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person ___________ feel better — even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
However, her research deals only with ___________ communication. A business situation might be very ___________. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies maybe another case.”
