If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of out brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract(萎缩) with age.
Contraction of front and side parts, as cells(细胞) die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction---using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
1. The team of doctors wanted to find out ____.
A. at what point people grow live longer.
B. how to make people live longer
C. the size of certain people’s brains.
D. which group of people are the busiest
2.Their research findings are based on ______.c
A. an examination of farmers in northern Japan
B. using computer technology
C. examining the brain sizes of different people
D. tests given a thousand old people
3.The doctor’s tests show that ______.
A. our brains contract as we grow older
B. one part of the brain does not contract
C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country
4. According to the article, _____ are growing mentally old earlier.
A. engineers B. office clerks C. professors D. researchers
5.The most possible conclusion of the article is that ____.
A. most of us should take more exercise
B. it’s better to live in the towns
C. the brain contracts if it is not used
D. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old

Many young people in America go to camps when they are out of school during the summer. They are offered a chance to explore different things: nature, sports, music, technology ——even business and economy.
One such program for high school students in the Pacific Northwest is called Washington Business Week. The program began in 1975. Officials say forty-five thousand people have attended Washington Business Week. Other states now have similar camps.
Washington Business Week describes itself as a way to learn more about how to plan for the future in an ever-changing economy. Students form an executive(行政的) management (管理) team. They lead an imaginary company to financial success.
The camp is held at three colleges in Washington State. The high school students live in the college housing. The cost of the camp is almost three hundred dollars, but families can receive financial assistance(援助).
Some business camps are free. These are for students from poor areas. The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship（企业家）(NFTE) is an organization based in New York City that supports such camps. It has programs around the United States and its Web site lists international partners in China, Tanzania and a few other countries. NFTE says it has served more than one hundred thousand young people since 1987.
Among other business camps is Camp C.E.O.. C.E.O is an chief executive officer. And this camp is for girls only. Camp C.E.O. is supported by the Girl Scouts of America and takes place for one week each summer.
The camp took place last month in Tennessee. The girls worked with successful businesswomen
from different industries. The girls learned how to build a business and develop an idea into a product. And, we imagine, they also had some fun.
1. In Washington Business Week, students successfully run a company_______.
| A．that they are working in | B．that belongs to the American government |
| C．that does not actually exist | D．that was once shut down |
2.Which of the following is True about NFTE?
| A．It offers financial help to all students. |
| B．It has programs in America and some other countries. |
| C．It was organized by many rich New Yorkers. |
| D．One of its aims is to train students to be business managers. |
3.What can we conclude from the passage ?
| A．The Americans are good at enjoying their lives in many camps. |
| B．The young Americans are living a happy life in camps. |
| C．The Americans pay attention to developing the students’ abilities. |
| D．It is easier to organize business camps in America than other countries. |
4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Summer camps for students B. Summer camps for future C.E.O.

When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive , people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.
Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock. During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.
People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas, instead of keeping livestock on the first floor builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.
House building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineer. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.
1.What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?
A．The climate of their areas. B．The energy for their houses.
C．The fashions for their houses. D．The building materials for their houses.
2.People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.
A．keeping their livestock downstairs
B．protecting their livestock from the cold
C．sharing their houses only with their cows
D．living on the second floor with their livestock
3.The underlined words “natural law ” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.
A．heat raises the temperature in the houses
B．heat goes in the upward direction
C．heat goes up if temperature is raised
D．heat increases the temperature of rocks
4.From the passage, we can conclude that _______ .
A．people will no longer consider building materials in the future
B．energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future
C．almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks
D．energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology
5.What is the meaning of the underlined word “livestock” ? _______ .
A．animals raised especially for economical benefits B．furniture
C．plants kept in the house D．general appearance of the whole family
