25、Answer the questions.
Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to demonstrate that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.
More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE - short for Advanced (Cognitive) Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most studied when they were more than 70 years old.
The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing - speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group - the control group did not get any training.
Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.
Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of-processing did better on tests than the control group.
"We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that's exactly what we found."
The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.
【1】Which statement is true according to the text?
A.This kind of training can only have effect on people for a few years。
B.The people were trained during a period of ten years.
C.All the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.
D.The second group were trained how to remember word lists.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.There were four groups being trained.
B.The old people trained can remember words better.
C.The second and third group improved their skills better than the first one.
D.The research showed that the effect of the training could absolutely last 10 years.
【3】What’s the main idea of the fourth paragragh?
A.What was the meaning of the research?
B.How was the research conducted?
C.Why was the mental training effective?
D.How long did the research last?
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years
B.How to improve our mental health
C.Four groups of old people were trained mentally.
D. The result of a ten-year research
26、All mammals (哺乳动物) sleep. Some stand up when they are sleeping and others lie down. All people need to sleep too. No one really knows why we sleep, but we know it is important for us to get enough sleep.
It looks as if nothing is happening when we sleep, but our bodies and brains are actually very busy. Our bodies are busy building new cells (细胞). We need them to grow. Without sleep, children do not grow and may get sick more often. During sleep, our brains are busy putting our ideas in order and then storing them in our memories. Without sleep, it is harder to remember things.
Sleep is important. When people do not get enough sleep, they do things more slowly, get sad easily and make mistakes.
We all need sleep, but how much sleep we need changes as we grow up. A newborn baby sleeps from sixteen to twenty hours a day, but as people get older, they need less sleep. The average ten-year-old children sleep ten hours a day. Most adults (成人) spend about eight hours a day sleeping. Some older people only spend about six hours a day sleeping.
We may not know why we sleep, but we know we look better and feel better after a good night’s sleep because our bodies and our brains are ready for a new day.
【1】When we sleep, ________.
A.nothing happens
B.we feel tired
C.our bodies build new cells
D.we get sad easily
【2】The word “storing” in Paragraph2 probably means “________”.
A.changing
B.sharing
C.describing
D.keeping
【3】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ________.
A.why sleep time changes with age
B.why people all need sleep
C.how much sleep people need
D.how people can get enough sleep
