The clock rules our lives. The more we try to save time, the less time we seem to have. In every area of our lives we are doing things faster. And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes. But now a worldwide movement, whose aim is to slow life down, has started. Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and healthier way of life is possible.

The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist, Carlo Petrini, saw that McDonald’s had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome. He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food. He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members in 100 countries.

Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in small family restaurants, and to cook with traditional recipes.

The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement. The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people’s quality of life. Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise, increase the number of green areas, plant trees, build pedestrian zones, and promote local businesses and traditions. Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia. There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since founding of the organization in 1999. Gao Chun County, in east China’s Jiangsu Province, is expected to be named the first “Slow City” in China next year.

“Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,” said a local resident. “It is not ‘slow’ as in ‘stupid’. It is ‘slow’ as in the opposite of ‘worried’ and ‘stressful’.”

But not everybody is happy. For teenagers, who have to go 25km to Norwich, the nearest city, to buy CDs, living in a Slow City is not very attractive. “It’s all right here,” says Lewis Cook, 16. “But if you want excitement, you have to go to Norwich. We need more things here for young people.”

1.What’s the aim of the Slow Food movement?

2.All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT ______.

3.From the fourth paragraph, we know that ______.

4.What’s Lewis Cook’s attitude to living in a Slow City?

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

How to improve our memory?

As we grow older, cognitive(认知的)conditions tend to affect our brain's memory functions, often robbing us of its most important uses. And we don't even have to reach old age to lose it. Thankfully, we don't have to sit around and just let our brains slip away, since we can easily be proactive and help keep it as sharp as ever.1.

Sharpen your brain with mnemonic devices---Mnemonic devices(助记设备)are techniques that a person can use to help them retain information better. 2.. This is because it essentially acts like brain training and forces it to work and generate new cognitive network connections. So go on ahead and adapt mnemonic practices whenever possible.

Exercise regularly---That's right, we mean physical exercise. Per research, leading a sedentary lifestyle can also lead to memory loss. So put on those trainers, go outside and start working up a good sweat. It's healthy for both your mind and your body.

3.---Yes, you heard us. Get on that controller and spend a couple of hours playing your favorite video game. It's good for your mind, according to a recent study that illustrated how these pastimes can help improve the functioning of various memory-associated regions in the brain.4..

Reduce stress levels---Intense and persistent stress, especially at high levels, can easily impair(损害)our memory and disrupt our cognitive skills.5.. You can do this by meditating(冥想), taking a walk or by incorporating mindfulness-based stress reduction methods.

A. Play video games

B. Get rid of video games

C. Here are some of the best tips that can help us

D. So slow down, and ease yourself into taking it down a level

E. And according to recent studies, they can help improve your brain

F. But don't go overboard, too much of a good thing can be bad for you

G. Memory creation and management is one of the most important processes
