C.Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelty young age of 30. 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 computer-based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information (). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish 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 comes to preventing ageing, you really do use it or lose it,” says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.29. Dr. Merzenichs training method mainly depends on _. A. speech training B. computer languagesC. the activities one joins in D. the information being dealt with30. By saying “the brain at any age is highly plastic”, the writer probably means the brain can be_. A. used B. mastered C. developed D. researched31. Which of the following agrees with the writers idea?A. The training methods work better for the old.B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.D. Its necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.D.People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months, anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths (神秘）.If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes, being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talentedWhy do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.32. What are the stars like according to the author?A. They always treat others rudely.B. They always talk about something dull.C They are actually ordinary people.D. They are usually honest and polite.33. We worship stars because _.A. we need true mental heroes to support usB. we can learn something useful from famous starsC. we concern about the stars family and friendsD. we like talking about the stars dressing styles34. When the author is writing this article, his tone sounds _.A. excited B. angry C. worried D. calm35.What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?A. To show the disadvantages of working with stars.B. To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.C. To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.D. To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and thats actually quite true 36 .
