My husband Ollie had retired from teaching and we were making plans to travel
together to Florida. Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able
to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed
day and night that he could get better.
One of us was always in Ollie's hospital room--either me, or our grown children,
Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go
home. You should be with Gwen.” Gwen was Bruce's wife. They had been married for
six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt
an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.
“I don't want to leave you, dad, ” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should
be with Gwen. ” Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes, ”he promised
Ollie, “you will be the first to know. ” A few days later, around 2 p. m., Ollie
awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak wo rds.
“The baby is coming now. It's a boy, ” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled
with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into
the room. “Bruce called, ” she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth
to a healthy baby boy around two o' clock. ”
Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his
sleep.

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 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. 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. You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty
quick.”
The biggest finding in brain research in 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 your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities
that challenge and excit e you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword
puzzles, learning a language...... “When it comes to preventing aging, you really
do “do it or lose it”, says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.
25.Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.
A. the information being dealt with B. computer languages
C. the activities one joins in D. speech training
27. 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 used to believe nothing could stop the brain slowing down.
28. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?
A. The training methods work better for the old
B. The training of the brain should start at an early age
C. People should use the brain to stop it from aging.
D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.
Z.X.X.K]
B. It explains why time flies fast and how to slow it down psychologically.
C. It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.
D. It describes how we experience time psychologically.
