My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing-your brain. Keep your mind awake and you’ll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.

Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.

Get over the motion that you are too old to go to back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.

In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir guaranteed to work .

31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is _______ A. an impossibility B. a scientific fact

C a supposition D a ridiculous conclusion 32. It is wrong to _______

A think oneself too old to go back to school B keep one’s mind awake

C try to stay young D. get one’s degree with honors

33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became_______ A. an active lawyer B. an electric engineer

C. a distinguished doctor D. a highly paid ceramic artist 34. The only youth elixir is to ______

A go back to school B forget one’s own age

C keep in touch with young people D. keep one’s mind awake and active 35. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _____ A. human brain never gets old with age

B. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes old C. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to try

D. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what’s going on around you Passage2

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago. We should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day. We should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes , of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history.” Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is. Because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.

36. Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?

A. “Remembered story”, compared with written history, is less reliable.

B. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questions

D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.

B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C songs and dances about the most important events. D. both B and C

39. “remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______ A. it is written down

B. no written account is available C. it proves to be true.

D. people are interested in it

40. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had ____

A. kept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in wars

C. told exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dances Passage3

For years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations. The U.S, Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.

The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke(蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michelle Smith delighted her country with the first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metres free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.

But late on the second day, the U.S team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.

41. It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because ________
