31、ng new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too common for them.

32、 man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.

In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired by an idea for this sp

37、ectacular (蔚為奇觀的 )bridge project. However, bridge-building experts told him to forget it.It just was not possible. Roebling convinced (persuade sb. to do sth. ) his son, Washington, an up- and-coming engineer, that the bridge could be built. The two of them formed an idea of how it could be finished

38、 successfully and how to overcome the difficulties. Somehow, they persuaded bankers to provide money for the project. Then, with great excitement and energy, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.The project was only a few months under way when a tragic on-site accident killed

39、John Roebling and severely injured his son. Washington was severely brain-damaged, unable to talk or walk. Everyone thought the project would have to be thrown away, since the Roeblings were the only ones who understood how the bridge could be built.Though Washington Roebling was unable to move or t

40、alk, his mind was as sharp as ever. One day as he lay in his hospital bed, an idea flashed in his mind as to how to develop a communication code.

45、memory. But only ordinary food and healthy habits have been shown to work.A research team from UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) has designed a four-step plan to improve your memory in just 14 days."It sounds like another advertisement, but it really works," says UCLA psychiat

After a two-week study that included brain-teasers （腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎）,exercise and diet changes, test subjects' memories worked more efficiently.Here's the progra

47、mme:Memory training: Train yourself with brain-teasers, crossword puzzles and memory exercises that train verbal （ 文字上的） skills throughout the day.Healthy diet: Eat five rather than three meals a day.

This suggests they were using their brains more efficiently. They also performed better

50、 on a cognitive （ 認(rèn)知的 ） test.A control group that didn't follow the plan showed no big changes."We've known for years that diet and exercise can help people keep their physical health, which is a key part of healthy aging," said Small. "But keeping mental health is just as imp

Ofthese, only about half a dozen become the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that are called hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to larg

56、e numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as soft circling winds, hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea.As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds （信風(fēng)）.When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in a

57、t the bottom of such a wind, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to move in a counter-clockwise motion （ 逆時(shí)針運(yùn)動(dòng) ）.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane raiisfall in a single
