    Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits — including making your brain sharper.

Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive (认知的) functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology (心理学) at Kent State University.

Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23％showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.

The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way — eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,’’ he says.

21.The result of Gunstad’s study shows that ___________.

A.losing weight has little effect on people’s memory

B.losing weight can improve people’s mental functions

C.overweight people are likely to have psychology problems

D.overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly

22.What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?

A.Slim people are smarter than overweight people.

B.Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.

C.Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.

D.Overweight people will get smarter by the traditional way.

23.Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A.Body Weight and Health B.Losing Weight by Operation

C.Ways to Improve Mental Functions D.Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind

B

Each Indian（印第安人）was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one for himself．But his playmates（游戏伙伴）would always give him a name of their own．No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen．Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy．But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off．If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.

The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy．His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle．When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief．If he had done well, he would get a good name．Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse．So an Indian’s name told his record or described the kind of man he was.

A man was given many chances to improve his name, however．If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name．Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names—all good and each better than the last.

An Indian’s names belonged to him for the rest of his life．No one else could use them．Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family．So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.

Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed．I know of only three of four times when this happened．It is the rarest honor for a person—the honor of assuming（承担） his father’s name.

24.An Indian could be given the second name by__________.

A.his father B.the enemy

C.the chief of the tribe D.his childhood friends

25.The greatest honor an Indian could earn was____________.

A.a victory in his first battle against the enemy

B.a name given by the chief

C.a ceremony to get his real name

D.the right to use his father’s name

26.If an Indian had more than ten names, it meant that____________.

A.many people in the tribe liked him B.he was a great fighter

C.he had a lot of friends D.he had fought in fewer than ten battles

27.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A.The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasant

B.The life name of an Indian was earned in battle

C.An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one for himself.

D.The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.

After her swim, Mrs. Thomas said, “I’m really tired and I’m losing my voice from all the salt water.” Asked what the worst part of her challenge was, she said, “Probably dealing with the salt water over two days. It really hurts your throat, your mouth and your tongue.” She praised her support team for helping her stay strong, adding that she was very prepared for the weather, currents(k it)and cold water. “I feel just mostly stunned right now. I just can’t believe that we did it.”

    A primary school art teacher has received a good deal of praise since her daughter posted photos of her special school project online.

Rebecca Bonner teaches at Mcauliffe Elementary School in Highland Village, Texas. In total, she hosts art classes for about 580 students who are aged from 3 to 11 years old. Bonner always tries to encourage her students to be creative by telling them to ''turn their mess-up into a dress-up''. So as a way of giving an example of her words, she invited all of her students to draw freely on a white dress that she brought to school. For two weeks, the young students used their pens to add their own little designs (设计) to the dress. The art teacher then showed their work by proudly wearing the dress for a school art show.

Her students were not the only ones happy to see their art come to life-Bonner's 20-year-old daughter Charlece Lake was so moved by her mother's project. Charlece took some photos of Bonner wearing the dress and posted them to Twitter, saying that her mom was ''the cutest art teacher ever''. Since posting the pictures, they have been shared thousands of times.

Though Bonner was surprised that her project had been widely known, she said that she was happy for the chance to serve as a good role model for art. ''I'm not worried about being famous of anything like that but I do think it's great to promote(推广) the arts, because art is not common among primary schools, '' Bonner said. ''I think it's really important for kids to have that place to create, and that freedom(自由) to create, '' she added.

32.What did Rebecca Bonner ask her students to do?

A.Wear beautiful clothes for an art show.

B.Draw whatever they like on a dress.

C.Bring white dresses to school.

D.Design their own clothes.

33.Why did Charlece Lake post photos of her mother online?

A.She wanted to promote the arts.

B.She wanted her mother to be famous.

C.She was proud of what her mother had done.

D.She wanted to win her mother more support.

34.What may be Rebecca Bonner's best wish?

A.Allowing students to create their own art works. B.Helping more students go to primary school.

C.Becoming a good role model for art. D.Promoting the arts in primary schools.

35.What's the main idea of the text?

A.A teacher's photo became famous online.

B.A teacher attended her school's art show.

C.Mcauliffe Elementary School's school project.

D.Students like designing dresses for their teachers.

    Life can be so difficult these days. It is the time that you all should admit you need help in organizing your lives. Here are some tips that will help you.

Write everything down and do not rely on your memory. 36. If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when you have hit your head and forgotten your own name.

37. Try this experiment before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you do not use. Or, if you are a really pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you can not find any more items to throw.

Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you have not read, worn, or used whatever they are, then you are probably not going to use them at all. 38.

Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. 39. Distribute tasks evenly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily; while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly.

Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can not completely organize your life in one go. 40. Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.

A.Practice putting things away immediately.

B.Throw one thing before buying something.

C.It is a long and never-ending process, so be patient.

D.Give them to a charity or sell on the Internet.

E.It is extremely exhausting to clean everything all at once.

F.To keep up with tasks, you need to work with your family.

G.We all agree most of us have a tough time remembering things.
