2、even years old,gathered in the Great Room for a warm-up in preparation for the day.One morning the headmistress made an announcement to all the children gathered,“Today we begin a greatexperiment of the mind.”She held up two ivy(常春藤)plants,each potted in an identical container.She continued,“Do they
3、 look the same?”All the children nodded.So did I,for,in this way,I was alsoa child.“We will give the plants the same amount of light,the same amount of water,but not the same amount ofattention,”She said.“Together we are going to see what will happen when we put one plant in the kitchen awayfrom our
4、 attention and the other plant right here in this room.Each day for the next month,we shall sing to ourplant in the Great Room and tell it how much we love it,and how beautiful it is.We will use our good minds tothink good thoughts about it.”Four weeks later my eyes were as wide and disbelieving as
5、the childrens.The kitchen plant was leggy andsick-looking,and it hadnt grown at all.But the Great Room plant,which had been sung to and surrounded bypositive thoughts and words,had increased threefold in size with dark leaves that were filled with energy.In order to prove the experiment,the kitchen
6、ivy was brought to the Great Room to join the other ivy.Withinthree weeks,the second plant had caught up with the first ivy.Within four weeks,they could not be distinguished,one from the other.I took this lesson to heart and made it my own.1.Why did the headmistress do the experiment?A.She wanted to

10、and things quickly,says Dr.Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Womens Hospital inBoston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body.Certain parts become smaller,especially areas in the brain thatare important to learning,memory and planning.Changes in brain cells can affect communication betweendifferent
11、regions of the brain.And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie,for example,is nothing to worry about.But if you forgetthe plot of the movie or dont remember even seeing it,thats far more concerning,Daffner says.When you forget entire ex
12、periences,he says,thats“a red flag that something more serious may be involved”.Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven,or forgetting how to drive to the house of afriend youve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrongBut even then,Daffner says,pe
13、ople shouldnt panic.There are many things that can cause confusionandmemory loss,including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep,high bloodpressure,or depression,as well as medications(药物)like antidepressants.You dont have to figure this out on your own.Daffner suggests g
14、oing to your doctor to check on medications,health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory.And the best defense against memory loss is totry to prevent it by building up your brains cognitive(认知的)reserve,Daffner says.“Read books,go to movies,take on new hobbies or activities that fo

19、linked to a 20%greater risk of having a heartattack in middle age,according to a new Swedish study.The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness amongteens with mental disorders.Theresearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given
20、examinations inadolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）.A total of 34,503 menwere diagnosed（诊断）with a mental disorder.The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attackby middle age.Compared to men with
21、out a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was20%higher among men with a diagnosis.“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in lateryears if they have low stress resilience”said study author Dr.Bergh,“Our research has also
22、 shown that low stressresilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior,such as higher risks of smoking,drinking and other drug use.”“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease,particularly if people stay fitas they age.Physical activi
23、ties may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress.Those in poor health couldbenefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,”said Bergh.8.How does the author develop paragraph 3?A.By giving examples.B.By listing figures.C.By making a comparison.D.By d

26、o not take math courses,not because they are difficult,but for social reasons.Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine(女性的)and attractive(有魅力的).However,there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams.This differe
27、nce appearsto be worldwide.Biological explanations have been offered for this,but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences.From their first days in kindergarten,boys are encouraged to work on their own
28、and to complete tasks.Facts showthat outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.Besides,there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better atthese subjects than their girl students.They even appear to encourage the
29、 difference between boys and girls.They spend more time with the boy students,giving them more time to answer questions and working harder toget correct answers from them.They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the leadin classroom discussion.They also praise boys
30、more frequently.All of this seems to encourage boys to work harderin science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses,nor is it likelyto support girls who do.When it comes to these
31、 subjects it seems certain that school widens the differencebetween boys and girls.12.Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A.To find differences between boys and girls.B.To explain the poor performance of girls.C.To ask readers a question.D.To introduce the topic.13.The text mainly di
