24、 As we age, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse. But not everyone. Some of us are super-agers, who are over the age of 80 and have the brain of much younger people.
Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But in super-agers that goes much slower. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thicker in super-agers. “When we look at a super-ager’s brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one.”
Scientists say super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle. Many travel and play sports. They are often big readers. And they usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends. “Growing old,” she adds, “does not have to be depressing and sad. Perhaps, if we expect a little better from ourselves, we will understand that not all aging makes us doom and gloom (愁闷).” Rogalski jokingly said that super-agers do not grow on trees — meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well and not aging as quickly as most.
The science behind super-aging is a new, but growing field. Scientists in the research offer this advice as we age: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.
【1】In Emily Rogalski's recent study, what does she find?
A.When people get older, the ability to think and remember starts to become worse.
B.Super-agers have nothing in common with each other.
C.Super-ager’s brain looks younger that it really is.
D.The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thinner in super-agers.
【2】Where will you probably read this article?
A.In a math book.
B.In a love story.
C.In a health research report.
D.In a sports magazine.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Scientists haven’t found out all the secrets to super-aging.
B.Super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle.
C.If people feel sad more often, they probably will live longer.
D.If a person lives longer than 100 years old, he will be very wise.
【4】Which of the following shows the writer’s idea?
A.
B.
C.

25、 In American schools, there is something called Homecoming Day(校友返校日). Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game on that day. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance(预先).
Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of some school clubs build booths(摊位)and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.
During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.
Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. However, if the team loses, the students still enjoy the Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.
