Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River.

People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的).

文章大意:这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息,大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义上的休息,休息好不仅能提高记忆力,对我们的身体也是大有益处。

If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning.

It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore, it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.

The hippocampus (海马体) is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity (连接), we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.

Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks for between 9 and 15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损).

However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be a real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty.

Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转). Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being.

12. What is the secret to improving memory?
A.Forming good habits.B.Having breaks.
C.Recording every details.D.Learning about brain.
13. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex?
A.Happiness.B.Excitement.C.Sadness.D.Satisfaction.
14. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Organised.B.Produced.C.Began.D.Found.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A.A textbook.B.A course plan.C.A dictionary.D.A science report.
