Passage 2
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of the front and side parts- as cells die off- was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy- year- olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction- using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White- collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says. "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators."

Passage 3
During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪汉) who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three- day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last- minute Christmas presents.
However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding ard camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.
Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation(赔偿) to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas, too.

B. the report of the event benefited the store a lot

D. the tramp was penniless
Passage 4
Americans and Arabs are different in their space habits. Arabs prefer close contact. Dr. Hall has explained that the Arabs belong to a tough culture and in conversation, they always envelop the other person. They hold his hand, look into his eyes, and bathe him in their breath.
Dr. Hall's interest in man's use of space developed in early 1950s when he was the Director of the Point Four training program at the Foreign Service Institute. In talking with Americans who lived overseas, he founded that many of them had been highly uncomfortable because of culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to us culture shock.
The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in a noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage(清教徒文化遗产). Dr. Hall points out that we spend years teaching our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations where we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowd subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact is involved, tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.
( )46. When the Arabs talk to you, they .
A. try to be as close to you as possible
B. keep a certain space from you
