新东方杨洋作文课【一】
A constantly doing memory work
B making frequent adjustments
C going through specific training
D taking part in various mental activities
注：考第三段末句。
Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives. The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information, says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging. Most of us dont need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness. Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skills, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.
23. The findings of James and other scientists in their work _________.
A remain a theory to be further proved
B have been challenged by many other experts
C are practised by the researchers themselves
D have been generally accepted
注：第三段首句中的theory等同于findings。
新东方杨洋作文课【二】
光着脚丫，啃在泥泞的路上，感受泥土的亲吻，不顾溅起的泥水是否弄脏了衣服，也不顾前言是多么曲折。只是因为一种信念不顾一切地向前进。
因为大地的亲吻，因为追求的执着，做一日和尚撞一天钟我不得不朴直了你们。是你们抚育我长大，是你引我成长，是你们鼓励我前进，是你们让我燃起对生活的热情。
亲爱的爸爸、妈妈，谢谢你们用勤劳的双手将我养大，教我说话;当我跌倒时，教我从哪跌倒就从哪站起来;在我生病时，彻夜守在床边照顾我的父母，你们如潮的爱将伴我走到永远。
敬爱的老师，你们是我学习路上的指明灯。学习之路困难重重，是你们教我如何克服，带领我走向正确的道路;是你们教我如何做人，千学万学，学做真人。你们倾心地付出，无以为报，
可爱的同学们，你们是我生活之路的天使。每当我遇到困难时，你们总是首先伸出友爱的'手;当我失误，心情沮丧，也是你们耐心的安慰我;当我心情烦燥时，也是你们在一旁的关心。是你们，一直在鼓励我，帮助我。你们是上帝派到我身边的天使，那么善良、纯洁。
在路上，哪怕是不熟识的人，卖衣服阿姨的一个微笑;充满活力、朝气的小朋友，一句姐姐好迷路时，好心人善意地相告，都会让我深得社会的温暖。
漫漫人生之路，没有你们，如何走下去?你们是我勇往直前的动力，激励我一路披荆斩棘，攀登人生的巅峰。
