Be at your best!
What does your brain need to work well? Here are some things it needs.
Good food
Experts say that breakfast is much more important than any other meal. 1.. So don’t miss breakfast — especially before an exam! But you need to eat a good breakfast — junk food won’t work.
A regular supply of energy
Your brain needs a regular supply of energy, so you need to eat carbohydrates. They’re found in bread, rice, pasta and beans. 2.. They work more quickly than bread and rice, so they give you a short burst (爆发) of energy, but afterwards you feel more tired.
A continuous supply of oxygen (氧气)
Your brain needs oxygen, which it gets from exercise. 3.. You also need a good supply of iron because iron helps your blood to carry oxygen round your body.
Water
4.. Not getting enough water will stop your brain from working well. And remember, water isn’t as expensive as sweet drinks!
5.
Your brain needs several hours’ sleep, so it can ‘update’ itself, just like a computer. Experts say that when you study for a test or an exam, you should get some sleep as quickly as possible after you’ve finished studying. This helps you to remember what you’ve learnt.
A. A short break
B. A good night’s sleep
C. It works best in the morning
D. Exercise improves your memory too
E. Water is much better than sweet drinks
F. Your brain works better when you have eaten
G. Chocolate, biscuits and sweets are not good for your brain
Back in April 1939 and armed with $5,000 provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, Columbia University Teachers College professor Frank Cyr took a tour of ten states to make a research about school transportation problems. What he found was that many students had no dependable way to get to school and the ones who did often traveled in unsafe buses in the over 100,000 school areas.
Seeing a need to fix this problem, Cyr organized a meeting- one that would change the future of school buses forever. School officials and transportation experts met to set much-needed standards for buses, including those for color, height and width as well as safety rules that hadn’t been set before or that were different in every state.
There were many different bus colors in the US before this meeting; several areas even planned to have red, white and blue buses as a way of encouraging students to love their country. Cyr presented his new choices to education officials, a reported “50 shades(色度) changing from lemon yellow to deep orange-red”. The matter was settled quickly. Yellow, or “National School Bus Glossy Yellow”, was chosen because it was quite striking, making the school bus easy to be seen. Besides, it made the bold(黑体的), black writing on the side of each bus clear. (The bold, black writing gives information about each school area, telling students which school bus they could take during early morning and late afternoon hours.) Thirty-five states made the changes quickly, and every state was on board by 1974.
Being recognized as the “father of the yellow school bus”, Frank Cyr has surely influenced your life if you ever rode a school bus or saw that noticeable color pulling up to your stop on a dusky morning.

When we are young we are taught that it’s wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if they’re told not to. Research carried out at the Institute of Child Study at Toronto Univercity has shown that this might not be such a bad thing. Apparently (显然地), children who tell lies when they’re two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults (成年人).
According to the research, at the age of two, 20 per cent of children lie. At the age of three, 50 per cent lie, and at four almost 90 per cent lie. By the age of 12 almost every child tells lies.
Lying needs much brain work, and the better the lie is, the more work the brain has to do. By training the brain early, researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.
Recent research, carried out by the Science Museum in London, has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults. According to the research, the average British man tells three lies every day; that’s over 1,000 lies a year. However, the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.
Most people think women are better liars (说谎者) than men although in fact they tell fewer lies. Popular women’s lies include ‘Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine’, ‘I don’t know where it is, I haven’t touched it’, and ‘It wasn’t that expensive’.
Some people say you can lie as long as it’s a white lie. A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. One of the most common lies for both men and women is ‘It’s just what I’ve always wanted’, said after opening a present from their partner.
1.What will happen to young children who lie?
A.They will possibly do wrong later.
B.They’re likely to succeed in the future.
C.They will keep lying when they grow up.
D.They may have a good chance of losing others’ trust.
2.What do the numbers in Para. 2 show about children?
A.Older children tell bigger lies than younger ones.
B.As they grow, they often lie about their age.
C.The older they are, the more likely they lie.
D.It’s quite natural for them to tell lies.
3.What did the research by the Science Museum find out?
A.Men lie more than women. B.Women are better liars than men.
C.Women’s lies are usually not serious. D.Men sometimes have to lie to women.
4.What’s the true feeling behind the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A.You know me so well. B.I don’t like the present.
C.You are good at picking presents. D.I haven’t received a present I really like.
