Frm red apples and yellw lemns t blue berries and green melns, fruit cmes in many different clrs. Why d different kinds f fruit have s many clrs?

These pigments appear in different amunts, depending n the fruit’s envirnment. This causes the fruit t turn a certain clr.

Fr years we’ve accepted that a frgetful brain is as much a part f aging as wrinkles(皱纹) and gray hair. But nw a new bk suggests that we’ve gt it all wrng.
Accrding t The Secret Life f the Grwn-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it cmes t the imprtant things, ur brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that sme studies have fund that ur brain is the best between ur 40s and 60s.
Besides, rather than lsing many brain cells(细胞) as we age, we keep them, and even prduce new nes well int middle age. Fr years it’s been believed that brain, much like the bdy, declines(衰退) with age. But the lngest, largest study int what happens t peple as they age suggests different findings.
This cntinuing research has fllwed 6,000 peple since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has fund that n average, peple perfrmed better n cgnitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had dne in their 20s. Specifically, lder peple did better n tests f vcabulary, and prblem slving. They were weaker in number ability and perceptual speed — hw fast yu can push a buttn when yu are rdered. Hwever, with mre cmplex tasks such as prblem-slving and language, we are at ur best at middle age and beynd. In shrt, researchers prve that we get wiser with age.
Scientists are als finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study fund lder peple were much better at cntrlling and balancing their emtins. It is thught that when we’re yunger we need t fcus mre n the unhappy things f life in rder t learn abut the pssible dangers in the wrld, but as we get lder we’ve learned ur lessns and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefre, it becmes mre imprtant fr us t be happy.
13. Barbara Strauch prbably agrees that ______.
A. the yung are better at dealing with imprtant things B. wrinkles and gray hair are the nly symbls f aging
C. aging leads t the decline f the functin f the brain D. peple’s brains wrk best between their 40s and 60s
14. The cntinuing research has fund lder peple perfrm better n ______.
A. vcabulary tests B. number ability C. perceptual speedD. bdy balance
15. Peple are happier with aging because ______.
A. they knw hw t share feelingsB. they learn t value the time left
C. they cannt fcus n unhappy thingsD. they d nt realize the pssible dangers
16. What is the main idea f the passage?

The Sprt f Cncentratin
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) prmises t help me increase the distance and pace I run, r the number f hurs I sleep, r the rate f my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” r s the stry ges.
Maybe sme f them actually help t d these things, but nnetheless, I still decided t sell all f my sprts gadgets a few mnths ag and simply recrd my running times with a pen and a ntepad. Sn after, I began t train fr a marathn the ld-fashined way, withut smething n my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned ut, running withut knwing all that infrmatin was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slwer than my smartwatch said I shuld be, I’d frce myself t speed up, even if it was clear that my bdy didn’t want t. But this time, I ran the way I wanted t.
On mre than a few ccasins, when I’d lk at my ntepad fllwing key wrkuts (锻炼), I was shcked t see that I’d had sme real breakthrughs (突破), running much faster than I thught I culd. I was s shcked abut these numbers and thught that if I’d seen them during the wrkut itself, I wuld have prbably slwed dwn. Yet, because I was blind t them, I just kept n running.
Anther psitive thing abut getting rid f all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me cncentrate (集中注意力) mre n the running itself. Since I n lnger feel like I need technlgy t run well, I can g ut and run withut wrrying abut whether everything has enugh battery pwer.
S, what’s the lessn here? Well, we culd very easily replace the example f running with writing, studying, r anything else. N matter what it is the mre time we spend wrrying abut hw t make urselves better at smething, the mre ur perfrmance is affected.
Shuld yu stp using technlgy t “imprve” yur perfrmance? Of curse, that’s up t yu. Hwever, if I were t be asked that questin, I’d certainly say that I’m better ff withut it.
41. When did the writer decide t sell all f the sprts gadgets?
42. What’s anther psitive thing withut any running gadgets?
43. What des the writer learn frm the example f running?
44. What d yu think f sprts gadgets? Why d yu think s?
