It used to be thought that this couldnt be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All thats required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind. Merzenich has developed a puter-based training method to speed up the process（過程） in which the brain deals with information (positscience). Since much of the data we receive es through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy （準確性）.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to tell sounds (between "dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. Its a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long youre pretty quick. The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process. To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you：playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language. "When it es to preventing ageing, you really do use it or lose it," says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University. 1. According to the new studies, what will happen to our brains? A. They will not start slowing down until the age of 30 B. They will start working slowly after the age of 30 C. They can work as well as at a young age through certain exercisesD.

What can we learn from the text? A. Using right tools is important for brains work. B. Brain research deals with information from the Internet C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in puter,D. Many activities can keep our brains young. 4. Which of the following agrees with the writers idea? A. The train methods work better for the old.B. People should train the brain to stop it from aging.C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.D. It is necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.5.

When I look back on my career, I realize the road to being a CEO isnt a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful panies. As this series of stories shows, the paths to being a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of mitment（義務(wù)）, work ethic（道德） and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the wayputting your life savings on the line to start a software pany or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企業(yè)家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顧客). Im only 29, so its been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-xx I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO. Career advice: Dont figure out where you want to work, or even what industry youd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because youre graduating, dont stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and theyre not, youre really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do. 1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. The writer hasnt achieved his childhood ambition. B.
