    Sorry to say, our brains pastorally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped，but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster.“Your brain is a learning machine,” says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.

    Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process (過程) in which the brain deals with information (positscience com ). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language mad hearing to better speed and accuracy (準(zhǔn)確性).

    Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish (辨別)sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It’s a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balk at you faster and faster to keep you challenged(受到挑戰(zhàn)). You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick.

    The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your blain to learn，it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.

    To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you：playing table tennis or bridge，doing crossword puzzles，learning a language....“When it comes to preventing ageing，you really do use it or lose it’s，”says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.

A. speech training                                      B. computer languages

C. the activities one joins in                      D. the information being dealt with

LAS VEGAS (AFP) — Children may not like it but a British technology firm has invented an electronic babysitter -- a wristwatch-like device that lets parents know where their children are at all times.

The GPS Child Locator, or num8, attaches securely to a child’s wrist and contains a Global Positioning System (GPS), said Matthew Salmon, a spokesman for the manufacturer, lok8u.

"It uses GPS and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) technology with an accuracy of 10 feet (three meters)," he said. "It tracks your child."

"It only starts working when the device is connected to the child’s wrist," Salmon said, and is "very difficult to get off."

"Even if the child managed to get it off it would send an emergency text message through to your mobile phone," he said. "It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location, the street name and the zip code."

When a child is wearing the device, a parent sends the text message "wru" and the child’s current location is sent back to a mobile phone or computer.

Parents can also log on to the company website to discover their child’s present location.

"You can also set up a perimeter, an invisible fence, and if they wander out of this invisible fence which you put on the Internet it will warn you," Salmon said. "It will text you immediately."

Salmon said the device is waterproof and shockproof and lasts for three days with a full charge.

It will be available in both Britain and the United States this year and retails for 200 dollars with a 10 dollar a month subscription fee.

He said the company had received thousands of inquiries about the device since launching it this week. "Fifty percent are positive, 50 percent are negative, that it’s a bit Big Brotherish," he said. "But it’s really just about letting you have freedom of mind."

Only when       does the device begin to work.

       A．it uses GPS and GSM technology   B．it is put within about 3 meters

       C．it’s joined to parents’ computer      D．it is fastened to the child’s wrist

If a child is wearing the “wristwatch”, parents can track them by      .

       A．sending the text message “wru”      B．replying to the text message

       C．getting a Google Maps picture D．phoning the local police station

What Can we conclude from the text?

       A．It won’t be easily found if a child loses t11e device

       B．The device won’t work while a child is swimming

       C．Parents can easily track children due to the device

       D．The new product needs to be fully charged daily

The purpose of the text is to      .

       A．explain how to use the new device

       B．a(chǎn)ttract more buyers to the new product

       C．discuss advantages of a new invention

       D．introduce a new electronic equipment
