2. ly:宋体; font-size:10.5pt\（备忘录） To: Members of all departments From: Annette Derringer Subject: Year-end party

Date: November 26 This is just a quick note to let you all know the

arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st. 1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you have not let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company.

The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles, so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼车）as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a ,minimum. Thanks in advance,

Annette To: Annette Derringer aderringer@belway.com From: Kype Berwick

Subject: Year-end party Date: November 28 Annette,

I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last-minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning

to visit us at that time, and they would love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear. I will have a couple of days off before the party, and I will not be in my office December 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot, Kyle

3. Trapped under six stories of ruins after the Haiti earthquake leveled his hotel, Dan Woolley believed he was going to die. But rather than give in to despair, the film-maker spent 65 hours beneath the earth looking up ways t treat his injuries on his iPhone. He also wrote a moving diary for his family, thinking they would only read his last message of love and comfort after his death. Instead, he was pulled from the disaster after a week-and will soon be reunited with his family.

Mr. Woolley had travelled from America to Haiti with his colleague David

Hames. Both had been working for charity. He was in the entrance-hall when the earthquake struck and just had time to dive into a comer before the building fell. Buried under tons of ruins, the film-maker downloaded a first aid

application to his iPhone. He used the light from the iPhone to show him his

injuries and diagnosed it properly as a broken leg. Then, he used the

instructions from the app to treat the serious bleeding. The app advised him not to go to sleep if he felt he was going into shock. The resourceful Mr. Woolley set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes to keep him awake. New technology has played a huge part.

Mr. Woolley used a small black notebook to write messages to his family. He had thought his relatives would read them after he was dead. “I was in a big accident. Don’t be upset at God,” he wrote, “I’m still praying that God will get me out, but He may not. But He will always take care of you.”

Mr. Woolley was eventually located by a French rescue team and removed to the U.S. where he was reunited with his wife. Speaking after being flown to Miami for surgery, he said, “Boy, I cried. I wanted to use that time to do

everything I could for my family. If it could be just to leave some notes that would help them in life, I would do that.”

He is now looking forward to seeing his family. 1. In the diary, Mr. Woolley noted his family. A. he was looking for ways to survive B. his iPhone was more than useful

C. he wanted to do something for his family D. this might be his last messages of love

2. Which of the following statements is not wrong? A. Woolley was confident that he would survive.

B. Woolley was making a film when the earthquake broke out. C. Woolley is now reconvening in a Haiti hospital. D. Woolley tried to stay conscious under the ruins.

3. What is the most important factor in Woolley’s survival? A. His beloved family. B. The high technology. C. His strong will. D. The French rescue team. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. A Large Earthquake Hit Haiti B. Strong Will Saved Woolley

C. A Man Used an iPhone to Survive

D. Nothing Is More Important than Family

4. A report says older adults who test their minds with increasingly difficult projects have better mental ability than those who do less demanding activities.

To keep our brains sharp as we age, we are often told to keep our minds active. As the old saying goes, “Use it or lose it.” But, there is very

little scientific evidence to support than.

Denise Park is head of the university’s Center for ? Vital Longevity. She designed a study in which she and her tern placed 221 healthy aging and older adults into one of three groups.

“We asked people to learn new things, like quilting or photography. We asked other people to just do fun things like being in a social group function but were not likely to have a very large effect.”

The subjects took part in their assigned activities for 15 hours a week over three months. At the end of that time, the researchers found that the adults who learned new skills, such as digital photography, showed the greatest improvements on memory tests.

No improvements were seen in the results of those in the social group that did activities together like going on field trips. There were also no

improvements among the third group that listened to classical music or did crossword puzzles.

Denise Park believes one reason for improved memory in the active learning group is that its members were being pushed to learn new skills. The other groups took part in what she call receptive activities. Learning new skills may not cure age-related mental decline. But, Ms. Park thinks being mentally active slows down the process.

Denise Park says the latest information shows that the improvements lasted for at least a year. She and her team plan to do longer follow-up studies with all three groups. She also is interested in learning whether taking part in demanding mental activities delays the development of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

1. What may the social group be asked to do? A. Learn to take photos. B. Listen to music at home. C. Go hiking together. D. Do the dishes.

2. What did Denise Park and her team find?

A. Doing more exercise can help slow down our age-related mental decline. B. Having a relaxing life is beneficial to keeping our minds sharp. C. Keeping our minds active is associated with our health. D. Learning new skills may help to keep our minds active. 3. If you want to keep your brain sharp you could_______. A. go swimming with your friends. B. play chess with your family.

C. learn how to repair the computer.
