Picture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldn’t, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains — it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.
“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”
For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.
Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.
The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didn’t remember.
So think twice before the midnight snack — it might be bad for more than your weight.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?
A. Studying for long. B. A nice pie. C. A new study. D. Late-night eating.
2.For the study, the researchers need .
A. to check the brains of the mice before the test started
B. to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleep
C. to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time .
D. to let the mice receive the same amount of sleeep and calories.
3.According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A. A recent study shows late eating affects weight.
B. What we eat can affect learning and memory.
C. The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn’t remember.
D. The mice that ate during usual hours didn’t remember.
4.Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. Eating snacks affects memory B. Late eating hurts brain
C. Never stay up late D. Keep away from snacks
Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement (退休)community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.
After my very first visit to Cantata, my life changed forever. That may sound a bit dramatic（戏剧性的）, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.
Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents（居民） while we’re there.
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.
Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her great days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.
Even the residents who don’t have amazing memories make the experience meaningful . I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldn’t think of much about her past, but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living. That’s something I won’t forget anytime soon.
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it’s that presence –just being there –means more than anything to many of the residents. And no matter how busy our lives are, there’s always time to make someone’s day.
For me, it feels great to be a source(源泉) of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
It’s easy to feel like you don’t have anything in common with the elderly –especially when you’re a teenager. But that’s not true at all.
I hate to be overly clichéd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, it’s important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often get something from teenagers too.
1.What do the writer and his classmates often do when they visit Cantata?
a. play board games and cards with the residents
b. do some cleaning for the residents
c. listen to the residents talk about their memories
d. watch movies and Tvshows with the residents
A. a,b B. a,c C. b,d D. c,d
2.With the mention of his visit to Mrs Robinson, the writer wants to
A. show what Mrs Robinson’s life like at Cantata
B. show how he developed a friendship with Mrs Robinson
C. show what a difference someone’s presence makes to the residents at Cantata
D. give an example showing that most of the residents at Cantata have amazing memories to share
3.What has the writer learned from his three years of visiting Cantata?
A. It takes great patience to look after the elderly.
B. Teenagers have little in common with the elderly
C. It’s important for the elderly to learn from teenagers to keep up with the times.
D. It means a lot to have some time for the elderly and offer them a listening ear.
