27、,选出最佳选项。ADo you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body, not in your short-term memory bank.Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2
28、do well in memory exams. The B could stand for brain, if youre one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of that vitamin is sunflower seeds. Even when youre sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight, it
29、 uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. For it to work properly, it must be fed. Even if youre not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day. A muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be ask
30、ing you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In Chinese culture, walnuts (核桃) are known as the
31、 fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, youll live longer.However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter B, which will help you to bear in min

On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great
42、. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decides? These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics consid
43、ered them as hack (平庸的) writers with little or no literary ability. Similarly, Van Gogh and many of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the real painters of the time, and often they were very poor
44、. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called real painters are now barely remembered. So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cartoons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the
45、 last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situation today. Critics often dont recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for
46、 the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art. But popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. The other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently (内在的) beautiful. Many works have one or even two o
47、f these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure. 63. The first paragraph is intended to_. A. lead to the fo
48、llowing and arouse the readers curiosityB. introduce some real painters to the readersC. introduce the questions the writer wants to answer D. explain what kind of art will become popular64. The author used the examples of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to prove _.A. these masters works h
49、ave some shortcomingsB. these masters wouldnt have been so successful without the criticsC. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created D. great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive65. According to the author, great works _. A. may be presented in differe
50、nt formsB. are generally valued by critics C. are thought valuable because of their sale price D. will lose their value if theyre not accepted66. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Critics have changed their attitudes to great works. B. Most of the opinions of critics are valueless.C. The wor
51、k of art itself, not the critics, determines its greatness.D. Works of Impressionist painters will be great one day.DMake your office spaceMANY of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. But does that mean youll never
52、 get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. Space X, a private space company based in California, US, published a list of job vacancies (空缺) last month. These “open positions” are not only for astronauts, and they all sound just as cool.One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have
53、 never heard of is “chief sniffer”(嗅探员). NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components before they are used in spacecrafts.Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually crucial. A spacecraft is of limited s
54、ize and relatively(相对的) high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. And once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts “have no way of escaping” unpleasant smells, Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that could threat
55、en astronauts health.Another job vacancy, the “space tour guide”, may seem a little ahead of its time after all, whats the point of hiring a tour guide when there arent any tourists there? But in fact, many private companies are now providing space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts (爱好者) such as
56、Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for Earthlings. Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy (天文学), astrophysics (天体物理学) geography and history to help passengers get the mo
57、st out of their journey. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true awe (惊叹) of space travel.Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist” is also needed to help ast
