【推荐2】Answer the questions.
Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to demonstrate that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.
More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE - short for Advanced (Cognitive) Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most studied when they were more than 70 years old.
The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing - speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group - the control group did not get any training.
Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.
Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of-processing did better on tests than the control group.
"We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that's exactly what we found."
The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.

C．The second and third group improved their skills better than the first one.

【推荐3】When you are busy trying to finish your math homework, have you ever thought about why you need to learn math anyway? Actually, math is seen as center to scientific progress. Difficult math problems must be solved in order to make technological progress(技术进步) happen.

       This is why math and its applications (应用) are listed as a major national project during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) period. “The project is expected to receive 1.5 billion yuan,” said Yuan Yaxiang, a math scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
       “We shouldn’t find ourselves in the position of always trying (试图) to catch up with other countries; and expect that they are willing to share their core technologies with us,” Yuan said.
       The money will be used to build institutions (机构) for scientific research and provide (提供) the modern ones with new experimental equipment(实验设备), China Daily reported. It will also be used to train more math scientists. For example, Tsinghua University recently carried out a leading talent training program in math. It chose hundreds of outstanding middle school students from across the country to train talent in math and the fields about math.
       According to the German newspaper Dic Welt, Chinese students are good at math. Of all the children born in China from 2005 to 2009, 24 million were found to have good math skills. The number was 1.8 million and 940, 000 in Japan and South Korea.
       Many international companies like Apple have built research centers in China.

【推荐1】The iPhone, the iPad:each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”—and many other brands are following suit (跟者做). The BBC’s i-Player—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-used the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK—that plays music and video is called “i-Teddy”. A slimmed-down version (简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “I”.

In general, single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at(针对) young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”. It’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a” “b” or “C” instead？According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “I”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or internative, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPad, it seems, it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, he term is now connected with portability (轻便),” adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, renders of BBC Magazines voted “I” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade (十年).

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

1. People use i-Player to ________.

A．listen to music

B．make a call

C．watch TV programs online

D．read newspapers

2. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for ________.

A．young readers

C．fashionable women

D．engineers

3. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “________”.

B．uncertain

C．clear

D．unique

4. Paragraph 6 connects the power of “i” with ________.

A．apple’s products

B．information technology

C．the western culture

D．the Internet

5. The last paragraph suggests that ________.

A．“i” products are often of high quality

B．the letter “b” replaces letter “I” to name the products

C．fashion doesn’t necessarily change with time

D．the popularity of “i” products may not last long
