Last month, my husband and I completed what some of our friends considered a foolish task: a 32-day, 5, 232-mile camping trip with children in our Volkswagen van, without ''high-tech'' to occupy the children.
It was the screen less journey that showered me with doubts. But is ''boredom'' senseless? My friend Renee, who has driven cross-country with her three kids eight times, calls boredom the mother of creativity. She's not the only one who sees virtue in blank time. In a recently published paper,
researchers at East Anglia University in England concluded that the trance like (发呆的) state helps
recharge the mind and is ''central to learning and creativity''. I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter. Neither do I dislike high-tech. But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies (木讷的人) .
On Day 1, our 7-year-old son announced ''Texas is so boring!''. The next day, struggling against his seat belt, he yelled he couldn't take much more of this. His 5-year-old sister was better at the long hours playing make-believe with the stuffed animals. On Day 3, he began count mountains and see pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky. I often joined the kids in the back, where we did
thumb-and-toe wrestle. With well-known mountains ahead, my husband told the children the past legends of them. ''Arizona is not as boring as Texas,'' our son declared.
I hope the trip gave kids some lazy, unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the fastest way to burn it up. I don't always make the right call as a parent but I know that in banning the small screen we made the right choice this time.
24. Why did the author choose a high-tech free journey?
A. Her friends are highly against it.
B. She disliked advanced technology.
C. She feared the passive influence of mini-screens.
D. The researchers proved the harm of modern technology.
25. What happened during the cross-country drive?
A. Their son got worse at boredom.
B. Her kids had a tough time riding in the vehicle.
C. Their son relieved himself by watching animals outside.
D The time spent without screens strengthened the family bond.
26. The underlined part ''the fastest way'' in the last paragraph refers to .
A. the speediest route to finish the journey
B. the ability to observe the surroundings
C. the interest of playing games with others
D. the choice of killing time by playing digital devices
27. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Is Driving Long Distances Good for Children?
B. A Touching Cross-country Trip of My Family
C. What's Wrong with Boredom without High-tech?
D. Creative Kids out of Parents' Reasonable Choice

Maybe you pop vitamins supporting brainpower, or stock upon these foods that boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there's something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.
A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive (认知的) impairment, according to
AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer's (阿尔兹海默氏症的) specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive
decline-and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn't.
Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don't include any medication (药物) or dietary recommendations.
The authors stress that there haven't been any high-quality, long-term studies finding foods or
medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive
training to patients with memory loss but not to rely on it. So far, the report's authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises, like memory and attention training or problem solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises
can't do any harm.
But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative (联想的) memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.
What's more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics, strength training, balance exercises, and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who'd exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.
AAN now recommends doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds sharp. This is the best time to exercise if you want to improve your memory. It looks like you've got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout — even if it's only on the weekends.
24. What does the underlined word ''impairment'' in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Error. B. Decline. C. Development. D. Presence.
25. AAN may be uncertain about .
A. strength training B. resistance training
C. exercises twice a week D. brain exercise
26. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Daily exercises are beneficial to Alzheimer.
B. The AAN guidelines attach importance to workout.
C. Medication is of significance in the AAN guidelines.
D. Stocking up on vitamins supporting brainpower means nothing.
27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Exercise. B. Entertainment. C. Science D. Health
D

36 In fact, the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day for health goes back
decades to a marketing（推销） campaign（计步器） launched in Japan to promote a pedometer.
And, in subsequent years, it was adopted in the US as a goal to promote good health. 37 "The original basis of the number was not scientifically determined," says researcher I-Min
Lee of Brigham and Women's Hospital.
She was curious to know how many steps you need to take a day to maintain good health and live a long life, so she and her colleagues designed a study that included about 17,000 older
women. Their average age was 72. 38
It turns out that women who took about 4,000 steps per day got a boost in longevity（长 寿）, compared with women who took fewer steps. 39
In fact, women who took 4,400 steps per day, on average, were about 40 percent less likely to die during the follow-up period of about four years compared with women who took 2,700 steps. The findings were published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Another surprise: The benefits of walking maxed out at about 7,500 steps. 40
A. The women all agreed to clip on wearable devices to track their steps as they went about their day-to-day activities.
B. Walking 10000 steps a day can make a lot of people happy.
C. It's nothing unusual to walk 10000 steps a day.
D. "It was sort of surprising," Lee says.
E. In other words, women who walked more than 7,500 steps per day saw no additional boost in longevity.
F. There is no direct relationship between life span and steps.
A. It's often the default setting on fitness trackers, but what's it really based on?
