  “How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years? ” It took a man almost 20 years to have the courage to even ask his father this very personal question．When Dad first quit drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again．For a few years we were afraid to bring it up for fear the drinking would begin again．

“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day, ” was Dad’s reply to my 18-year-old unasked question．“ The words were a constant reminder to me that things were never so hard that I could not handle them, ” Dad said．And then he shared the poem with me．The poem’s simple, yet the words are meaningful．

About a month after this talk with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine．It was a book of daily words of wisdom listed for each day of the year．It has been my experience that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own birthday．

I hurriedly opened the book to November 10 to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me．I did a double-take and tears of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face．There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had helped my father for all these years! It went like this：

God, give me the Serenity(平靜) to accept the things I cannot change；the Courage to change the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference．

69．Dad would review the poem several times a day _______．

A．to share the poem with the families                     B．to practice reciting the poem

C．to prevent himself from drinking again         D．to remind himself that poems are useful

70．When the author saw the same poem in the book, he felt _______．

A．regretful                        B．thankful           C．hopeful                   D．painful

71．The author burst into tears because _______．

A．his friends gave him a special gift                              B．the poem was full of wisdom

C．his father had read the same book                               D．his father quit drinking for his son

Sorry to say , our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30 . It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped , but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster . “ Your brain is a learning machine , ” says University of California scientist Dr . Michael Merzenich . Given the right tools , we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger . All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose : a few exercises for the mind .

Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process  in which the brain deals with information ( positscience. com ) . Since much of the data we receive comes through speech , the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy .

Over the course of training , the program starts asking you to distinguish  sounds ( between “ dog ”and “ bog ” , for example ) at an increasingly faster speed . It’s a bit like tennis instructor , says Merzenich , hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged (受到挑戰(zhàn)) . You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick .

The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn . And it may even speed up while in the process.

To keep you brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you : playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzle , learning a language ….“ When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do ‘ use it or lose it ’ , ” says Barbara Sahakian , professor at Cambridge University .

67. Dr . Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on       .

A. speech training                                     B. computer languages

C. the activities on joins in                         D. the information being dealt with

68. By saying “ the brain at any age is highly plastic ”, the writer probably means the brain can be      .

A. used                 B. mastered                  C. developed                 D. researched

69. What can we learn from the text?

A. Practice makes a quick mind.  

B. Brain research started ten years ago .

C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer.

D. People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

70. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?

A. The training methods work better for the old.

B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.

C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.

D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.

Does a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption, say, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily helps to prevent coronary heart disease．Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in support of that theory．More important, the work provided the first solid indication of how alcohol works to protect the heart．

In the study, researchers from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvad Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attack with those of healthy people of the same age and sex．The scientists found that people who sip one to three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are．The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of high density lipoproteins （脂蛋白）, the so called good cholesterol （膽固醇）, which is known to prevent heart disease．

As evidence has mounted （增長）, some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases．But most physicians are not ready to recommend a regular happy hour for everyone．The risks of teetotal ling （絕對戒酒） are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles---not to mention violent behavior and traffic accident．Moreover, some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer．Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose （吸收劑量） of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighborhood bar or liquor store．

60．The report mentioned in the first paragraph indicates________．

       A．the way in which alcohol can help the heart．

       B．that a couple of cocktails daily can help stop heart problems

       C．why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s health

       D．that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misled

61．Experiments showed that nondrinkers had___________．

       A．larger amounts of good cholesterol   B．smaller amounts of good cholesterol

       C．higher blood pressure              D．lower blood pressure

62．According to the passage, moderate drinking_______．

       A．is recommended by most doctors for heart patients

       B．should be allowed on prescription

       C．is still not medically advisable

       D．is not related to liver problems

63．The main theme of this passage is___________．

       A．the change in recent drinking habits

       B．the connection between cancer and alcohol

       C．whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers

       D．whether alcohol may be good for one’s health
