As we get older, the fear of not having a good memory grows for many people. A lot of people1 that the loss of memory can be the sign of Alzheimer’s(老年癡呆癥).
It is true that as we grow older we are more 2 to develop Alzheimer’s. But with a proper lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and exercise, one can stay mentally 3 into their old age.
There are many causes of memory loss that have nothing to do with Alzheimer’s. As researchers come 4 to understanding Alzheimer’s, the outlook(前景) is 5 for people with this illness. New treatments are becoming available. With improved diagnosis(診斷), medications and treatment, one day we may be able to 6 or even reverse (反轉) memory loss as we age.
Memory loss is    7  a topic of concern for people. Having Alzheimer’s can lead to increased dependency on others. Not being able to manage basic daily    8 on your own or even not being able to recognize family members would be a serious hit to anyone. This is why many elderly people often have questions and concerns.

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how  45  or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to  46   it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a  47  for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong.  48  you can say to a friend, “ I got my feeling hurt,”   49  “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

科目:高中英語 來源:2014屆浙江省杭州市高二3月月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.

I can't count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(結結巴巴地說), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It's just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”,“I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”

When anyone calls my“seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.

1.The example of the writer's sister serves as__________.

A.a(chǎn)n argument       B.a(chǎn)n introduction     C.a(chǎn) support          D.a(chǎn) conclusion

2.The writer thinks that the underlined excuse “It's just Monday.”is acceptable, because __________.

A.it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later

B.it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses.

C.it shows respect for the writer's suggestion

D.it indicates the time when they can have lunch together

3.The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.

A.a(chǎn)ppropriate        B.influential         C.practical          D.evident

4.What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?

A.To suggest how time flies.

B.To persuade busy people to relax.

C.To advise people to keep their promise.

D.To convince readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.
