The Spring Festival together with the winter holidays often means sharing cakes,
candies and other delicious food with friends and families.Most people will eat
more than they usually do.But doctors find out that what you eat may affect how
well you remember things.This is bad news for people who eat too much.
Forgetfulness seems to many people an inevitable(不可避免的) part of
ageing.As our bodies grow older,most of us find that many things we should
remember are slipping out of minds.But new facts show that it’s possible to s
low time’s effects on our minds.
Once people thought that the brain(大脑) could not make new cells(细胞),but
now studies show that learning new things can help brain grow and keep the
illness away from the brain.
Professor Eric Kandel,a Nobel Prize winner for his study of the human
memory,says the best way to save our memories is to keep our brains in good
shape.Through mental(脑力的) exercise,he says,people can keep their
memories whole into their 80s and 90s.
And Mark Mattson,a professor at the National Institute on ageing,says that
reducing the amount of calories fed to older rats and mice by thirty percent can
be a good help to learning and memory.While it’s hard for many people to go
on their diet(节食) like that,doctors tell us that even small steps can make big
difference.

第五题C和D肯定不对,B是讲我们的身体而不是我们的大脑,但A这个答案也有些奇怪.正确的是,文章中说 "以前人们认为大脑不能创造新细胞",可是A的意思是 "人们认为没有任何新的方法可以帮助大脑增长".可能是写错了.
或者答案B中的"bodies"是包括大脑的,那B就更正确了.
