It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me,

2、 I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food. One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Mon

3、day I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week. The budget made me more mi

4、ndful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small. It was sill satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant

5、 more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase. Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more

6、often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week. Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fas

10、r took envelope budget seriously.2(8分) During the rosy years of elementary school (小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by

11、being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself. Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seek

12、ers. The likables plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.

13、 Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are most likely to engage (从事) in dangerous and risky behavior. In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined th

14、e two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys (调查研究). We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly

15、 showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us. Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing, kindness, opennesscarry over to later years and make you better able to relate and co

16、nnect with others. In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that he

A memory technique invented by the ancient Greeks has recently been proved to be able to greatly improve ordi

20、nary peoples memory ability. You may even become a memory champion if you practice hard enough. This is according to a study published in the journal Neuron. Researchers fromRadboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands found that memory champions arent all that different to us. People with a

21、n average memory can greatly improve their memory ability by using whats known as the mind palace method. The method is the secret weapon (武器) of the fictional (虚构的) character Sherlock Holmes. In order to do this, you need to picture a place youre familiar with, such as your living room. Then, you h

22、ave to remember this place in as much detail as possible as this is your own mind palace. Suppose you want to remember a shopping list. You can start by spreading out all the items around your living room in your mind. This means each item on your list is connected with a remembered place in your li

23、ving room. You travel to that remembered place as you recall the list. To explore the effects of this method on the brain, researchers gathered 51 participants with average memory levels and no previous memory training. After 40 days of daily 30-minute training sessions (一段时间), participants doubled

24、the amount of words they could rememberthey went from recalling an average of 26 words out of 72, to an impressive 62. Four months later, even without continued training, their recall performance remained high. Once you are familiar with these strategies and know how to apply them, you can keep your

25、 performance high without much further training, Martin Dresler, assistant professor from Radboud University Medical Center, told the Daily Mail. In addition, the training also affects the way our brain cells connect. After training, the way that the participants brain cells connect began to be like

26、 those of memory champions compared to scans (扫描检查) taken before training. Researchers believe this could be responsible for their increased memory. But what makes this research so fascinating is that it seems to prove that the talent to store things in your mind isnt down to genes. Dresler found th

27、ere was no deference in brain structure between memory champions and normal people, which means memory champions are not born with different brains. They, without a single exception, trained for months and years using methods to achieve these high levels of performance, Dresler told Science Daily. I

28、ts clear that more studies are needed to find out whats going on here, but the mind palace method might be your best bet to never forget an important name, date or appointment ever again.(1)The main purpose of the text is to_.A.present a research on a memory improvement strategyB.explore the secrets

29、 of memory championsC.argue whether good memory is natural or trainedD.explain how a memory improvement strategy works.(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE about the mind place method?A.The method became popular because of Sherlock Holmes.B.People need to draw a familiar place on paper befor

30、e using the method.C.The effects of this method are likely to fade when the raining stopsD.The method relies on a connection with a familiar environment to remember things.(3)What would Marin Dresler probably agree with?A.Peoples memory level has a lot to do with their brain structure.B.Memory champions are often born with outstanding memory abilityC.Memory training could change the way our brain cells connect.D.With continued training, everyone can develop into a memory champion.4(8分) Weekend gym rats might be onto something.
