Some people are super-agers, who are over the age of 80, but have the brain of much younger people.Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But the change of the super-agers goes much more slowly. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory (记忆) was shown to be thicker in super-agers. When we look at a super-agers brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one.Scientists say super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle. Most of them like travelling and playing sports. They always enjoy reading. They usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends.Growing old, she adds, does not have to be depressing (令人沮丧的) and sad. Perhaps, if we expect a little better from ourselves, well understand that not all getting old makes us sad.Rogalski said jokingly that super-agers do not grow on trees- meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-agers mind is working so well and not getting old as quickly as most. The science behind super-agers is a new, but growing field. It attracts many scientists. Scientists in the research offer the advice to us: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.（1）Super-agers are people _. A . over 80 with older brainsB . over 80 with younger brainsC . under 80 with older brainsD . under 80 with younger brains（2）This passage is probably from a _. A . magazineB . dictionaryC . noticeD . menu（3）Which of the following may be the ending of the last paragraph? A . Its impossible for us to become super-agers.B . All of us can become super-agers naturally.C . We may also become super-agers if we follow the advice.D . We can become super-agers without following the advice.（4）We can infer from the passage that _. A . super-agers are common and very easy to find in our livesB . scientists have found out why a super-agers mind works so well.C . few super-agers like traveling, playing sports and doing readingD . more and more scientists may get into the study of the super-agers5. （4分）阅读理解 Writing is a much newer invention than talking. Nobody knows when people first began to talk, but so far as we know, they did not begin to write until seven or eight thousand years ago.In Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China, and later in Palestine and Greece, people began to make marks and pictures with sticks and sharp stones from which others, or they themselves later, could see what they had thought.These early records were the beginning of writing. The first writing was picture writing. Here are some early Chinese picture words. Can you see what they represent (代表)? Later Chinese writing is less like pictures than the earlier writing was, but we can see the pictures in some of its words. For example：In picture writing, each picture represents a word; you need a different picture or mark for each word.In presentday Chinese writing most of the marks are not pictures of anything, and a reader has to learn how the Chinese write about two thousands of these words before being able to read a newspaper.With some of these marks you may be able to see what the idea is, For example：The sun and the moon. Its meanings are: bright and open.A man and two marks. One of the meanings is humanity.（1）When did people begin to write? A . Seven or eight hundred years ago.B . Before people first began to talk.C . Seven or eight thousand years ago.（2）Which of the following is the earliest Chinese picture word? A . B . C . （3）What does the in the passage mean? A .
