44、your levels of stress,and choosing to stop smoking cigarettes if you smoke are all ways to improve blood pressure.If your first number is higher than 140 or your second number is higher than 90,you may have hypertension or high blood pressure.In addition to lifestyle changes,your doctor may prescrib

50、with a good mind is not enough.In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise.Mental(done with the mind)exercise is particularly important for young children.Many child psychologists(心理学家)think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to
51、think about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to some psy
52、chologists,if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children,such as“That was a very clever thing you did.”or“You a
53、re such a smart child.”51.The words“intelligent”and“brilliant”in the first paragraph probably mean _ while“dull”in the second paragraph means _.A.bright and splendid;slow in thinking and understandingB.pretty and handsome;ordinary-lookingC.great and important;commonD.hopeful and helpful;careless 52.
