“They used t say life begins at 40. Nw, 60 is the new 40,” said Mr Russell. Mr Russell was a keen sprtsman when he was yung, he listed climbing Mnt Blanc and the Matterhrn amng his achievements. He later tk up running, befre jining his lcal triathln club. Inspired by sme f his fellw members wh had taken part, last autumn Mr Russell, wh was 60 years ld, signed up fr the Irnman Triathln event in Tenby, Pembrkeshire. He didn’t want age t restrict himself.
“I riginally thught that it’s lcal and easy t g, but it’s actually ne f the tughest nes ging,” he said. Since then, Mr Russell has trained “mst days” — but has suffered a cuple f setbacks. “I’ve had a big peratin n my hand,” he explained, “which tk a few weeks t recver. And then I brke my ft ut training with the triathln club. That tk a gd six t eight weeks t recver. S I’m nt starting frm the best base.”
He said that, while he was training hard, he was aviding pushing himself t much. “Yu might end up hurting yurself, which I can’t affrd nw,” he said. Mr Russell was als wrried abut making a cutff, f tw hurs 20 minutes, t cmplete the swim. “All my main part f my training in my mind is revlving (围绕) arund getting thrugh the swimming part. S at least I can get n a bike and… let Mther Nature and tailwinds (顺风) take their curse.”
Despite this, the athlete said he had n regrets. “I’m prving that age is n barrier t setting bld gals and achieving them,” he added.

A diet develped fr brain health might slw r prevent cgnitive (认知的) decline assciated with mental health issues and age-related memry lss, a study says.
“Fllwing a MIND diet apprach t meals can be a great way t bst brain health, because specific nutrients in a MIND diet play a vital rle in brain health,” study lead authr Dr. Sawyer said, wh is a brain health expert at the University f Cincinnati. He likes this diet because it fcuses mre n what yu shuld eat instead f what yu shuld avid. Fr example, he enjys adding leafy green salads with nuts, beans, and live il t his meals rather than cutting ut fds cmpletely.
The MIND diet cmbines tw well-knwn healthy eating plans: the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet, which is designed t lwer bld pressure. MIND stands fr Mediterranean-DASH Interventin fr Neurdegenerative Delay. Its gal is t help slw brain aging and memry prblems.
The diet priritizes whle grains, leafy green vegetables, berries, beans and nuts; encurages the cnsumptin f ther, nn-leafy green vegetables, fish, seafd, and live il; allws fr limited cnsumptin f red meat and wine; and limits the cnsumptin f fast fd, fried fd, butter, and sweet fds such as candy.
Accrding t Sawyer, the gd fds in this diet are full f antixidants (抗氧化物质), which prtect the brain. In cntrast, the less healthy fds can raise bad fats in the bdy, which may hurt brain health.
Sawyer and his team investigated the effects f a MIND diet n 14,145 peple, with an average age f 64 years. Over apprximately 10 years, they fund that thse wh fllwed the MIND diet clsely had a lwer risk f memry lss. The effect was strnger fr wmen participants.
Hwever, the study did have limits — it was based n peple’s wn reprts abut what they ate and culdn’t prve cause and effect. Still, the study prvides favrable data and evidence fr future related studies.
8. What des Sawyer say abut a MIND diet in paragraph 2?
A. It has ptential effects n brain health.
B. It has been experimented amng the public.
C. It reduces the cnsumptin f green vegetables.
D. It is mainly targeted at brain health f middle-aged peple.
9. What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 3?
A. Give an example.B. Make a cmparisn.
C. Clarify a cncept.D. Intrduce a new tpic.
10 What is the authr’s attitude twards Sawyer and his team’s study?
A. Objective.B. Disapprving.
C Uncncerned.D. Dubtful.
11. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Keeping a Balanced Diet Cntributes t Our Health
B. MIND Diet Delivers Enrmus Benefits t Kids
C. cnsuming Red Meat and Wine Has a Side Effect
D. MIND Diet May Help Keep Yur Brain Healthy
D
Brains are usually cnsidered a bacteria-free zne. But that’s nt the case fr sme fish. Wild and lab-grwn salmnids (鲑科鱼)harbr active micrbial (微生物的)cmmunities in their brains. Mst f the bacteria fund in brains f lab-reared rainbw trut (虹鳟)appear t have initially cme frm their bld and guts. That suggests that micrbes frm ther parts f the bdy can crss the bld-brain barrier. That layer f cells lies between brain cells and bld vessels, letting xygen and nutrients in and keeping bacteria ut.
Micrbial infectin f animal brains has usually been linked t disease. Fr instance, brain-infiltrating micrbes may be linked with Alzheimer’s disease in peple. But brain bacteria aren’t necessarily bad news fr fish. “The bacteria might even help rainbw trut pick up n micrbial cues in the envirnment, aiding the migratry fish in navigatin (航行)rivers,” says Irene Salinas, an immunlgist studying fish.
Salinas’ team searched fr bacteria in brain samples frm rainbw trut and grew 54 types f bacteria frm lab-reared fish. That suggests that fish brains have a micrbial cmmunity. Genetic analyses als revealed signs that bacteria adapt t living in the brain and crss the bld-brain barrier.
While brain bacteria might nt always be harmful t fish, there are exceptins. Fr example, the brains f aging Chink salmn nearing death tend t have higher levels f bacteria cmpared t thse f yunger fish. These aging brains als shw a buildup f amylid-beta, a prtein linked t Alzheimer’s disease in humans. This suggests that, similar t gut micrbes, brain bacteria can ptentially g ut f balance, leading t health prblems.
The new findings pen up questins abut whether nly fish have bacteria in the brain. Other animals may have brains chck-full f micrbes, t. “When it cmes t fish, there’s lts f diversity f different fishes n the planet,” Salinas says. “Maybe deep-sea fish r sharks have unique brain bacteria that help them live far belw the surface.”
12. What functin des the bld-brain barrier play in salmnids?
A. T blck xygen.B. T prduce bacteria.
C. T prvide nutrients.D. T keep the brain healthy.
13. In which way can the brain bacteria help rainbw trut?
A. Finding the way.B. Bsting grwth.
C. Cntrlling disease.D. Preventing infectin.
14. What des the example f the aging Chink salmn imply?
A. Aging fish have few brain bacteria.
B Yung fish lack enugh brain bacteria.
C. Brain bacteria can cause health prblems.
D. Brain bacteria are always beneficial t fish.
15. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Brain bacteria f the sea life are the same.
B. Mre research n animals’ brain bacteria is needed.
C. Many animals’ brains are full f different micrbes.
D. Salinas will study why fish can live far belw the surface.

【答案】
But the mment that Emily wuld never frget came tward the end f the shw. The lights dimmed slightly, and the hst stpped nt the small stage with a micrphne in hand. “Tnight,” she began, her vice warm, “we celebrate nt nly artistic skill, but curage — the curage t express, t return, and t inspire.” The rm fell silent. Then came the wrds that made Emily’s breath catch: “This year’s Best Artist Award ges t Emily.” Never had she imagined being recgnized, especially in the very place where she nce hid in the backgrund. Yet nw, all eyes were n her — nt with judgment, but admiratin.
Emily stepped nt the stage t receive the best artist award. Taking a deep breath, Emily bwed and said, “Thank yu, I used t think that being quiet meant being invisible. I thught my vice didn’t matter.” She paused, the rm silent. “But tnight reminded me that expressin cmes in many frms. Whether it’s thrugh painting, music, writing, what’s inside us deserves t be shared. Dn’t be afraid t shw the wrld wh yu are.” Applause filled the rm, but mre imprtantly, s did understanding. And t think — it had all started with a pencil and a quiet girl wh dared t draw.
