21、Some evidence that certain memory exercises make people smarter has stimulated the rise of online brain-training programs such as Lumosity. But at least one type of brain training may not work as advertised, a new study finds.
As expected, practicing improved volunteers’ performance on tests of memory and the ability to locate items quickly in busy scenes, say psychologist Thomas Redick of Indiana University Purdue University Columbus and his colleagues. That improvement did not, however, translate into higher scores on tests of intelligence and multitasking, the researchers report in the May Journal of Experimental Psychology General.
Redick’s investigation is part of a growing scientific debate about brain training, which is promoted by some companies as having a variety of mental benefits. Some researchers say that extensive instruction and training on memory tasks can indeed fortify reasoning and problem solving. Others are doubtful that active memory sessions may boost their working memory, the ability to keep in mind and compare several pieces of information.
Redick’s team studied 73 young adults, aged 18 to 30, divided into three groups. One group completed 20 training sessions over about six weeks on a task aimed at boosting working memory, the ability to keep in mind and compare several pieces of information.
A second group in the new study received 20 training sessions aimed at improving the ability to pick out novel shapes from large arrays (阵列) of similar-looking shapes. This group provided a comparison to see whether the effects of memory training differed from training on a different mental skill. A third group received no training.
In the two training groups, volunteers improved with practice on the task they were learning but showed no increases in tests of intelligence and of the total amount of information that could be held in mind.
Participants in the new study didn’t receive enough instruction and practice before memory sessions to benefit from the intervention (介入), Jaeggi says. Redick’s group also gave volunteers limited time to complete a series of shortened versions of standard intelligence tests, which probably limited any potential for scoring increases, she asserts.
But until larger studies with longer follow-ups are completed, Redick cautions against assuming that memory training smartens people up.
【1】What can we learn about the study?
A.73 young adults received memory training.
B.The second group was aimed at testing memory skill.
C.Volunteers showed no improvements in tests of intelligence.
D.Further studies have been completed to support Redick’s findings.
【2】What does the underlined word “fortify” mean?
A.increase.
B.dominate.
C.restore.
D.boost.
【3】Where is the text most likely from?
A.A personal diary.
B.A biology textbook.
C.A science magazine.
D.A finance report.
22、I’m a talker. I am keen on debating, gossiping and teasing when I have people to talk to. Under lockdown, however, I’ve only had my partner, Peter.
We not only lived, worked and travelled together, we mostly socialized together, too. Under the first UK lockdown, our already closeness began to feel uncomfortable. While talking to Peter, I could see his attention drift.
For the first time in our 10 years together, we needed to be alone. I tried to manufacture this by going on walks on my own, but a short walk wasn’t doing the job. I had hiked in remote spaces all over the world but always in a pair or group — for safety reasons. I considered my options and hit upon an idea: the semi-solo hike.
Could we do a circular hike but walk in different directions? This would give us the space and peace of a solo hike — done by a person alone. It felt like a promising way out, and he agreed to give it a try.
We started with a four-mile loop (环路) from Reeth. At the start, we parted ways. At first, I was aware of how close we were, which lessened the appeal. As I gained ground, however, I found myself very much alone. I set my own pace, and I decided to take my time.
I sat on a rock and breathed out. That moment — with the weak sun through the clouds and the breeze blowing — felt extraordinary to me. I was born and raised in London and had never imagined leaving until I met an outdoorsman. Now, my former life as a city girl felt crazy. In remembering what I had gained, I felt the tension leave me. There, in the chilly air, I no longer needed to talk. The semi-solo hike gave us a shared experience with added room to breathe.
I didn’t see Peter on the way but reunited back where we started, both pleased.
The semi-solo hike is admittedly silly in theory, but for me it has been a lifeline. It has given me the gift of time alone and, in a year of constant closeness, the joy of reuniting.
【1】What motivated the author to adopt the semi-solo hike?
A.Peter’s disinterest in her words.
B.Her habit of venturing into the wild.
C.The lack of privacy under lockdown.
D.Her desire to engage in outdoor exercise.
【2】How does the semi-solo hike work?
A.Their routes coincide sometimes during the hike.
B.They depart in a separate way to different destinations.
C.They hike in each other’s company throughout the journey.
D.They start and return to the same place by a different route.
【3】Which of the following can describe the author’s feelings when she sat on a rock?
A.Fearless and refreshed.
B.Free and relaxed.
C.Tense and depressed.
D.Upset and embarrassed.
【4】What message does the author convey with this text?
A.An appropriate distance creates beauty.
B.There are more solutions than difficulties.
C.Access to nature is better than social circles.
D.Hiking helps improve interpersonal relationships.
23、Do you find yourself reaching for just one more cup of coffee to get through the day? Are you tired of being tired ? Instead of relying on things like coffee or sugar for energy, get happy by eating more foods that give you energy through nourishment. Here are four foods that can help improve your energy levels.
Hemp Seed
A complete protein, rich in fiber and omega-3s, hemp is a great low-glycemic (低胰岛素) addition to any diet. The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how fast the carbohydrates in food are broken down into glucose (葡萄糖) and how much it will affect your blood sugar. Fiber, fat and protein all lower the GI of a food, which is why hemp seeds (along with nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes)are low-glycemic. Look for hemp seed oil for salad dressing, and hemp seeds to be added into salads.
Soaked Almonds
Raw almonds are nutrient dense, and soaking them releases(释放) higher nutrition potential. Soaking increases vitamin levels and removes the enzyme (酶) inhibitors that slow down digestion. I soak my almonds in water overnight (at least eight hours) and then dry them.
Quinoa
It is 20-percent protein, making it a balanced source of carbohydrates. Even though you feel like you're too busy to make home-made meals, quinoa is a fast food that cooks in less than 15 minutes.
Green Tea
Caffeine from green tea feels steadier and less sharp than the spike and crash with caffeine from coffee. This is likely because green tea contains L-theanine, a kind of acid found in tea that helps promote relaxation.
【1】The writer wrote the passage in order to______.
A. introduce four foods making people energetic
B. find reasons why people need some coffee
C. reach for something to get through the day
D. tell people way of keeping fit
【2】Why did the almonds get soaked?
A. It helped increase the enzyme. B. It helped unlock the nutrition.
C. It helped make digestion slow. D. It helped lock nutrient dense.
【3】From the fourth paragraph we can know quinoa_______.
A. is rich in protein B. includes much fiber
C. can be served quickly D. has less sharp flavor
24、 A short while ago, I lost access to my WeChat account. I am not sure why it wouldn’t let me log in; perhaps it was my ancient, out-of-date phone. But I wasn’t too upset because it offered me an opportunity to take a break from social media — something more and more people are doing.
In the United States, Twitter is losing millions of users each month and Facebook has seen a 44 percent decline among its younger users. Some of these users may have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media platforms, while many others have quit because they felt that social media was having a negative effect on their happiness and overall quality of life.
Stars such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren have taken a break from social media because they were tired of many Internet trolls (网络喷子) leaving negative comments. Ordinary people (like me) are turning away from it because of the feeling that they were spending more time online and enjoying it less.
It is not unusual for people to spend two or three hours a day posing or reading posts, to the point where it becomes an addiction. And it is an addiction. There is a chemical in your brain known as dopamine (多巴胺) which is sometimes called the “reward molecule” and its release gives you a feeling of pleasure. For instance, when you post a photo on WeChat and get a hundred likes, you feel happy. That’s dopamine at work.
In my case, being off WeChat left me with a feeling of anxiety for a few days. No doubt I missed my dopamine. And I got e-mails from friends wondering if I was fine or if I was just being anti-social. But I soon began to feel quite peaceful and started to worry less about what other people were doing and concentrate more on my personal life. And it is an added bonus that I’m getting better sleep at night.
I’m not advocating that all of you quit social media, but spending less time on these platforms does bring you advantages. You could start by leaving your phone at home when you go to school (For some, that’s already a school rule). And it is also a good idea to charge your phone outside of your bedroom at night, as you are unlikely to get a good night’s sleep when the notification (通知) bell keeps ringing.
Someday I may reconnect with my WeChat account, but I’m not in a hurry. Life can be more relaxing and just as interesting without it.
【1】The author’s disconnection with WeChat is mentioned at the beginning to _________.
A.introduce the disadvantages of social media
B.explain why he lost access to his WeChat account
C.illustrate the function of dopamine
D.prove how WeChat makes life easier
【2】The fourth paragraph mainly talks about _________.
A.how dopamine works when you are posting or reading posts.
B.the reason behind people’s addiction to social media.
C.why WeChat is so popular among ordinary people.
D.what you can do if you want to get many likes on WeChat.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards social media?
A.To turn away from them as soon as possible.
B.To choose a social media platform that suits you.
C.To keep away from them temporarily is a wise choice.
D.To quit them will make your life more relaxing and interesting.
