In fact, you can exercise your brain as often as you do to your arms or legs-and the
11、results can be positive and empowering. To improve your brain, you cant simply repeat the same exercises over and over. Just as lifting a two-pound weight will stop challenging you, so will repetitive exercises such as crosswords or Sudoku. Once you master easy exercises, you must move on to harder
12、ones in order to push your brain-like your muscles-to a new level. The science behind brain trainingScientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. Since studies have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain trai

14、llenged. Promising studies on the effects of brain trainingIn a 2013 Stanford study, a treatment group of 21 breast cancer survivors used 12 weeks of Lumosity training to work on processing speed, mental flexibility, and working memory tasks. On average, those who trained improved on tests of these
15、abilities, compared to a group that did not train with Lumosity. There is even some evidence suggesting that Lumosity may be beneficial to normal, healthy adults. In a 2011 study by Lumosity and San Francisco State University researchers. 13 people who trained over 5 weeks improved working memory sc

20、way of brain training. 24. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Brain Training Makes a Difference C. Lumosity, Your Best ChoiceB. Train Your Brain like a MuscleD. How to Train Your BrainBThe word Im going to introduce to you today is-phubbing. Lets see the definition of this term: phubbing n. th
21、e act of snubbing(冷落)someone in a social setting by looking at your cell phone instead of paying attention As you can probably guess, phubbing is a blend of phone and snubbing. The term was coined by a 23-year-old Melbourne resident Alex Haigh. Obviously, he got fed up with how people are always che
22、cking Facebook or Twitter on their phones when they are supposed to be interacting with someone face to face. He wanted to put an end to this social phenomenon, therefore he came up with this catchy term. And it did catch on. The words earliest media mention dates back to June 2012, and in a little
23、over a years time, phubbing has already been picked up by almost all the mainstream media outlets one can think of. Here is a typical example from the British newspaper The Independent. In the article titled The Rise of Phubbing, which was published on August 5, 2013, Tom Chatfield writes, theres an
24、 uncomfortable truth at the heart of phubbing: other people are easier to handle when seen on screen. Theyre less likely to demand unreasonable efforts such as undivided attention or clean shirts. While the term phubbing has undoubtedly taken off, some people question why it is called phubbing inste
25、ad of phnubbing. Alex Haigh has not personally addressed the issue, but word has it that phubbing sounds more crispy and thus easier to remember. Phubbing is indeed a universal problem that can no longer be ignored. So why do people keep phubbing each other if they know its rude? Is there anything w
26、e can do to stop it? Or maybe we should just be more kind, because sometimes there are good excuses to phub. I think there is plenty we can do to try and stop phubbing. For starters, we can join Alex Haigh in his Stop Phubbing campaign. Remind our friends and family that phubbing is not appreciated.
27、 We can also make or download some anti-phubbing posters to spread the word in public places. And dont forget that some phubbers simply do not realize the harmful effect their behavior has on others，so be brave enough to stop them, even if you are a total stranger. 25. This passage is mainly talking
28、 about _. A. the rise of phubbing in all the mainstream media outletsB. a new term “phubbing”and its problemC. the campaign of keeping phubbingD. different opinions on phubbing26. The authors attitude towards the act of phubbing can be described as _. A. bearable来源B. unacceptableC. reasonableD. unde
29、rstandable27. What can we infer from this passage? A. People are easier to handle when seen on screen.B. Alex Haigh doesnt like the term “phnubbing”C. More and more people have become phubbers. D.
