26、How I Handle My Attention
Recently, I started to feel great pressure. Having to work two different far-away jobs, I found writing and allocating (分配) time for personal projects was difficult.【1】I would wake up earlier. I would separate my day into 3-4 different parts and try to fill various projects until I realized that it just doesn’t work. I couldn’t get anything done, and I got tired now and then: Why? Because time management is not as important as attention management.
I learned a few things:
Focusing on a task means returning to it every 48 hours.【2】This means that your total focus is four projects, at most. If you have more projects than that, it’s difficult to manage. And less is more in this case.
There is a cap of two different tasks that you can do within a single day. I learned that it’s not the work that tired me most, but the changing between different types of works.
【3】And personal projects should be taken care of on my own time (e.g.on weekends and holidays). Don’t always mix work with life.
The more creative a task is, the earlier you should work on it. I am a morning person, so I try to write before breakfast.
【4】Just telling yourself to do a specific activity five minutes longer than usual can help create stillness, and it leads to high-quality focus. Quietness of the environment and mind can improve productivity (效率).
Today, information is rich and varied. And because the human brain cannot take in all, attention becomes the important resource. It’s only the deep focus, the “deep work”, as Cal Newport calls it, that leads to high quality results and productivity.【5】You’ll thank yourself later.
A．Stillness creates focus.
B．Work week should be for work.
C．Devote 2021 to mastering this important skill.
D．If it takes longer, it’s not in the focus zone.
E．Stay quiet, and I found myself deeply focused.
F．What matters today is where we focus our mental energy.
G．So I started to use the old time-management skills to adapt.
27、Johnny Smith was a good math student at a high school. He loved his computer. He came home early every day, then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was not a good English student, not good at all. He got an F in his English class.
One day after school，Johnny came back home and joined his computer to the computer of his high school office. The school office computer had the grades of all the students: the math grades, the science grades, the grades in arts and music, and the grades in English. He found his English grade. An F! Johnny changed his English grade from an F to A. Johnny' parents looked at his report card. They were very happy.
"An A in English!" said Johnny's Dad. "You're a very clever boy, Johnny."
Johnny is a hacker（黑客）. Hackers know how to take information （信息）from other computers and put new information in. Using a modem（调制解调器）, they join their computers to other computers secretly. School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers. So are the police, for some people even take money from bank （银行）computer account （账户）and put it into their own ones.

28、For the past 3 years, about 6,000 middle-aged Australians have strived to rid stress with computer exercises, all in an effort to preserve (保护) their cognition (认知). They’re part of a called Maintain Your Brain, one of about 30 current or planned studies that test whether altering (改变) multiple aspects of participants’ lives improves brain health.
Although people can’t escape some mental decline as they get older, lifestyle forms a powerful influence over the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Last year, an international committee of scientists and psychiatrists known as the Lancet Commission on dementia (痴呆症) prevention and care estimated that so-called changeable factors account for 40% of dementia risk. Their report highlighted a dozen factors, including many familiar villains-diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise.
Researchers are still testing exactly how these risk factors steal people’s faculties, but they’ve identified some likely mechanisms. Lack of physical activity may do harm to cognition, for example, because exercise stimulates (刺激) formation of new neurons and soothes brain inflammation (炎症).
For decades scientists focused on developing drugs to treat Alzheimer’s disease, but after several candidates recently failed in clinical trials (临床试验). “The climate has really shifted to focus on…prevention,” says neuropsychiatrist (神经精神病学家) Kristine Yaffe of the University of California, San Francisco. Some researchers urge governments to step up dementia prevention with measures such as public health campaigns that encourage good habits. “We have knowledge about some of the actions to take for society to make a difference,” says psychiatrist Gill Livingston of University College London, who heads the Lancet Commission. “The time is now.”
The combined effect of lifestyle factors is strong, but researchers lack conclusive evidence that changing any of them spares the brain. “A many observational studies” point to factors that influence cognitive aging, Yaffe says, “Can we say, ‘Do X, Y, and Z and that will prevent Alzheimer’s disease?’ I don't think so.”
【1】What is the aim of Maintain Your Brain?
A．Rid participants’ stress.
B．Preserve participants’ lives.
C．Test whether changing participants’ lives can improve brain health.
D．Improve participants’ computer skills.
【2】What can we say about Lancet Commission on dementia prevention and care?
A．It studies people’s health.
B．It acts as a hospital.
C．It treats Alzheimer’s disease.
D．It highlights healthy lifestyles.
【3】What does the underlined word “soothes” in paragraph 3?
A．Checks.
B．Changes.
C．Worsens.
D．Reduces.
【4】Which of the following may be the best title?
A．Can Alzheimer’s Disease Be Treated?
B．What Factors Influence Cognitive Aging?
C．Can Altering Lifestyle Improve Your Brain Health?
D．How Do Scientists Cure Alzheimer’s Disease?
29、 Don't think it's an impossible task to pass your reading tests. Lots of people have shared their successful reading secrets here. 【1】
Read a passage twice before looking up an unknown word.
If you're reading to gain new vocabulary, you should treat it as a “fill in the blanks” exercise. At first, you'll have to read every paragraph twice. 【2】 The second time you read it, focus on the words you don't know. Try and work out what each word means from the sentences before and after. If you had to guess the meaning, what would it be?
【3】
Whenever you are reading in English and learn a new word, don't let it slip away! Write it down with a short definition (定义)or a little drawing. Some students like to keep a specific notebook for this--- their own personal dictionaries! Several studies have shown that writing a piece of information down on paper helps you to remember it more easily.
Read out loud.
If you're going to put time in your reading skills, you may as well get some extra practice for your speaking skills too! 【4】 It's a great way to get used to speaking English too.
Divide your time into skim reading and deep reading.
You should spend some of your reading time “skim - reading texts”. This way, you learn how to get a general sense of what's going on without understanding every single word. 【5】 This is when you really focus on understanding everything that's going on.
A.Write down new words.
B.Try reading some passages out loud to yourself.
C.It's normal to forget how to read words correctly.
D.Reading resources should be a little hard for you to skim.
E.You should spend the rest of your reading time “deep reading texts”.
F.Follow these tips to make use of your reading time as effectively as possible.
G.The first time, you’ll probably get the general idea but be confused by a few words.
