22、We have long been attracted by quick fixes that could increase our intelligence. Today, people’s hopes lie in brain training apps, some of which claim to result in “smarter minds”. But is this quick fix all it is said to be?
There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic (算术)，memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games. The more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get-or so some apps tell us. It is really a big promise.
Many of the apps say they are beaked by “science”, a claim I found surprising as a former neuroscientist. The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day flies in the face of what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.
After surveying a diverse spread of thousands of users across a wide variety of apps, researchers at Western University in Canada discovered that “brain training has no appreciable effect on cognitive (认知的) functioning in the “real world”，even after extensive training periods”. The positive effects that have been found are restricted to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users ‘are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills.
If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write a novel or construct a complex spreadsheet. I am afraid you will want to look elsewhere.
Puzzle video games such as “Baba Is You” and “Return of the Obra Dinn”, see players apply their skill at logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.
【1】What does the author say about brain training apps?
A．They have scientific support.
B．They work in the form of games.
C．They require problem-solving skills.
D．They are based on complex arithmetic.
【2】What does the underlined part “flies in the face of” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Agrees with.
B．Takes advantage of.
C．Goes against.
D．Comes from.
【3】Which best describes the effects that brain training apps have on memory?
A．Limited.
B．Indirect.
C．Damaging.
D．Far-reaching
【4】What is the author’s attitude to “Baba Is You”?
A．Doubtful.
B．Intolerant.
C．Uninterested.
D．Favorable.
23、In every level of education, students experience more or less stress and pressure. Several courses at a time, exams, homework, social challenges, homesickness, etc. are some common factors that make a student worried. In many cases, students struggle to adjust to heavy schedules and deadlines demanded by their institutions.【1】
Exercise
Doing exercise or participating in different kinds of sports helps to reduce stress and allows us to have a fresh and cheerful mind. 【2】Besides, doing yoga, meditation, cycling, and hanging out with friends and family will help a student to have a positive mood throughout the day.
Healthy diet
Many students like to eat junk food rather than a healthy diet. But everyone should know that a balanced diet helps to boost energy and brainpower. Eating green vegetables and fruits enriched with vitamin C helps to make the immune system stronger and more effective. 【3】And gradually you might become more inactive and unhealthy, which can badly affect your life and study.
Sleeping well
Sleeping can be the best medicine for you to increase your productivity and energy. Even a thirty minutes nap makes one more relieved. In many cases, we see that students packed with heavy schedules and deadlines put themselves in a sleepless and restless state.【4】So, it’s necessary to sleep at least 7-9 hours daily.
【5】
Many students don’t know how to reduce tension in the exam. The key to reducing the tension and stress of the exam is to use time wisely. Setting up a daily schedule for your study is necessary to complete your lessons and homework properly.
A．Time management
B．On the other hand, eating street food or junk food like pizza, or burger makes you overweight.
C．Here are some tips on how to reduce stress for students.
D．But it is very harmful to both body and mind.
E．Students should have enough sleep and sports every day.
F．Stress reduction.
G．Walking thirty minutes daily or doing everyday workouts helps to feel better.
24、Like most couples, my husband and I dreamed of becoming homeowners. Sure, apartment living comes with its own set of advantages—less housework, shared comfort, less to clean up and care for, and usually cheaper rent. As a result, we decided to downgrade from our neat five-bedroom, 2,700-square-foot house on the water to a three-bedroom, 1,369-square-foot apartment, with two kids.
Once we arrived in our new apartment, we were surprised to find that things flowed relatively smoothly. There was so much less to keep up with—fewer floors to mop, fewer windows to clean, fewer walls to wipe, etc. Now I think of our home as our little playhouse, since it's much smaller and everything is closer together. That also makes it so much easier for me to keep up with as a mom. I collect laundry all on one floor comparing with having to climb stairs to the house's second floor!
In our new home, we use lots of shoe organizers inside of every closet door for more than just shoes—baby items, office items, and medicines. We also have a functional room that serves as an office and gym. Since both my husband and I work from home, we require at least one room to share as an office with fitness equipment fitted into a corner.
While many people choose to downsize for financial reasons, that actually wasn't a factor in our decision. We wanted to be in a lively area with like-minded young families. That was our first priority. Though we may still buy another house in this area at some point down the line, for now, we're thrilled with the concept of renting an apartment. Let me put it this way: We’re not really the “handy” types, so being able to call maintenance(维修)for any repairs is worth every rent coin!
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．Our old house was upgraded.
B．Living in a house has advantages.
C．Our new apartment was downsized.
D．Smaller size means more housework.
【2】How do the couple feel about the new apartment?
A．Confused.
B．Amazed.
C．Tired.
D．Challenged.
【3】Why do the couple make changes to their new home?
A．To build up their body.
B．To create a home office.
C．To enlarge all the rooms.
D．To make full use of space.
【4】What is the couple’s first concern when moving?
A．Transportation.
B．Neighbourhood.
C．Repair work.
D．Money.
