17．She was returning from teaching out in a small communjye.aiy.It was a black，moonless night，and a heavy snow was falling.
She thought back 1 to the time when she had first started teaching out in small communities.During those days she had always picked up hitchhikers （搭便車者），until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot in the head by a hitchhiker，all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.
Her family didn't stop worrying about over safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise："No more hitchhikers!" The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving.She slowed down for him，but as he ran toward the car in the dark，she shook with fear.Yet she thought that if he was truly in need，she couldn't leave him here in this storm.
Her family didn't stop worrying about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise："No more hitchhikers!" The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving.She slowed down for him，but as he ran toward the car in the dark，she shook with fear.Yet she thought that if he was truly in need，she couldn't leave him here in this storm.

18． Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary.We know the risk of dementia （癡呆） increases with age.But if you have memory slips，you probably needn't worry.There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.
After age 50，it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people，places and thing quickly，says Dr.Smith of Brigham and Woman's Hospital in Boston.
The brain ages just like the rest of the body.Certain parts shrink （萎縮），especially areas in the brain that are important to learning，memory and planning.Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain.And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels （血管） narrow.
Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie，for example，is nothing to worry about.But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't re member even seeing it，that's far more concerning，Smith says.
When you forget entire experiences，he says，that's "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 a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.
But even then，Dr.Smith says，people shouldn't panic.There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss，including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep，high blood pressure，or depression，as well as medications like antidepressants.
You don't have to figure this out on your own.Dr.Smith suggests going 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 to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive （認知的） reserve，Dr.Smith says.
"Read books，go to movies，take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways，" he says.In other words，keep your brain busy and working.And also get physically active，because exercise is a known brain booster （助推器）.
（1）Why is it common for the aged to experience memory loss？
A．The related parts of brain get aged and smaller.
B．The communication of brain regions is stopped.
C．The brain cells of memory change their positions.
D．The slow blood flows result in narrow blood vessels.
（2）What can we do to fight against the memory loss？
A．Check health problems in the hospital.
B．Take medicine to regain your brain cells.
C．Take part in physical and mental activities.
D．Build up a completely new cognitive region.
（3）Which of the situation warns us to see a doctor？
A．John doesn't know how to operate a new printer.
B．Anne has forgotten her usual way to the park near home.
C．Jack can't remember the name of an actor in a soup opera.
D．Amy is confused with her friends' addresses occasionally.
（4）What is the best title of the text？
A．What Causes Memory Loss
B．Have You Lost Thinking Ability
C．How Does Brain Booster Work
D．Have You Really Got Dementia組卷：15引用：3難度：0.5 -
19．"A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots（靴子）on." said Mark Twajye.ai.In today's Internet world of "fake（假的）news，" lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.
To make matters worse，most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors（謠言），half---truths and complete lies.This has led to young people becoming confused.In the latest PISA，which tested 15---year---olds worldwide on academic subjects，fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion.A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell teal news from fake news.In one instance，80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.
Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice（偏見）.They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone.It is important，then，for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.
Traditional media，such as newspapers and television，are still the more credible sources of information.Reporters are professional trained to look for facts，and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct.However，if you are getting most of your information online，you have to be your own editor.In that case，the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post.Is this person known to be objective？Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice？Next，look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the jye.aiformation.In other words，by putting on your truth boots you won't be fooled into chasing lies.

A．Only look for news through media.
B．Become a professional and trained reporter.
C．Compare the news from different sources.
D．focus on the new instead of the writer.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．What Should a Reporter Do？

20．Captain Henry，a 98-year-old American retiredfisherman，has become a first-time author，having written and published（出版） his autobiography In a Fisherman's Language after learning to read at the age of 91.

The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition.Meanwhile，the family members say they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry's late-life efforts.

21．Caffeine myth or caffeine fact？It's not always easy to know．Chances are you have some misunderstanding about caffeine．Read on．Here are some of the most common myths about caffeine and some facts have been gathered to shed light on them．
Myth one：Caffeine is addictive
Caffeine is a stimulant（起刺激作用的食物） to the central nervous system，and regular use of caffeine does cause mild physical dependence．But caffeine doesn't threaten your physical，social，or economic health the way addictive drugs do．If you stop taking caffeine abruptly，you may have symptoms for a day or more，especially when you have been used to consuming two or more cups of coffee a day．However，caffeine does no cause the severity of withdrawal or harmful drug-seeking behaviors as drugs or alcohol．For this reason，most experts don't consider caffeine dependence a serious addiction．
Myth two：Caffeine probably causes insomnia（失眠癥）
Processed mainly through the liver，caffeine has a relatively short half-life．This means you can get rid of half of it within about five to seven hours on average．After eight to ten hours，75% of the caffeine is gone．For most people，a cup of coffee or two in the morning won't prevent them from sleeping at night．Consuming caffeine later in the day，however，can interfere with sleep．Your sleep won't be affected if you don't consume caffeine at least six hours before going to bed．
Myth three：Caffeine harms children
As of 2004，children aged 6 to 9 consumed about milligrams of caffeine per day．This is well within the recommended limit．However，energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine are becoming increasingly popular，so this number may go up．Some kids are sensitive to caffeine，developing temporary anxiety or irritability，with a"crash"afterwards．Also，most caffeine that kids drink is in sodas，energy drinks，or sweetened teas，all of which have high sugar content．These empty calories put kids at higher risk for obesity．Even if the caffeine itself isn't harmful，caffeinated drinks are generally not good for kids．
Myth four：Caffeine has no health benefits
Caffeine has few proven health benefits．But the list of caffeine's potential benefits is interesting．Any regular coffee drinkers may tell you that caffeine improves alertness，concentration，energy and clear-handedness．Scientific studies support these subjective finding．One French study even showed a slower decline in cognitive ability among women who consumed caffeine．Other possible benefits include helping certain types of headaches．These research findings are interesting，but still need to be proven．Title About caffeine （76） Facts Caffeine if additive． l If you use caffeine （77） ，you may become physically dependent on it to some extent．
l Caffeine doesn't cause the severity of withdrawal or harmful drug-seeking （78）of addictive drugs or alcohol．Caffeine is （79） to cause insomnia．l Your body can（80） 75% of the caffeine that you have consumed within eight to ten hours．
l Drinking one or two cups of coffee in the morning has no effect on your sleep at night．

l Energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine and sugar have gained increasing（83）among children．
l It is not the caffeine itself but caffeinated drinks that are generally not good for children．People don't benefit from caffeine． l Caffeine can help people become more alert，concentrated，（84） ，and clear-headed．
