2014考研英語真題的完型一出，文都教育的老師們不禁嘩然“今年的完型怎么這么簡單呀！”“這不像英語（一）的風(fēng)格��！” 的確，對于英語（一）來說，這篇文章真是太簡單了，令人跌破眼鏡的是“河北省唐山市2013屆高三第一次模擬考試”中的第四篇閱讀居然就是這篇文章，其簡單程度可想而知！

文都高端教研老師認(rèn)為，這種情況的出現(xiàn)并非巧合，而是出題人“有意為之”！近年來，考研英語的江湖上一直流傳著這樣一個“約定俗成的做法”，即：完型填空一般放在最后做，沒有時間就可以“蒙上”！現(xiàn)在看來，出題人已經(jīng)修煉成仙，他們太了解考生的心理了! “就知道你不做，我出個簡單的，你要不做可就虧大嘍”！所以，今年那些本著“蒙完型”原則的考生徹底被出題人“戲耍”了！

其實(shí)，仔細(xì)想來，出題人這樣做的根本并非是為了戲弄考生，而是旨在告誡大家：要認(rèn)真對待考試，每一個題目都要認(rèn)真去做，不要抱有僥幸心理，“蒙”絕對不是值得鼓勵的考試態(tài)度。相信經(jīng)過今年這么一“整”，以后明智的考生再也不會想著去“蒙”了。踏實(shí)的復(fù)習(xí)，長知識，漲能力才是唯一靠譜的出路！（文都教育）

As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice their memory is not what it used to be. We suddenly can’t remember where we put the keys just moments ago. As the brain fades, we mildly refer to these occurrences as “senior moments”. While seemingly no big deal, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental influence on our professional, social, and personal happiness.

Neuroscientists (神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)科學(xué)家）are increasingly showing there’s actually a lot that can be done. The brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental exercise can greatly improve our basic cognitive (認(rèn)知）functions. Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program” 一 Lumosity. It is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That’s because they have combined these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program records your progress and provides detailed feedback (反饋）on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly improves the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing.

Obviously it does work. The company says, according to the clinical trials, its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory for names, numbers, directions, etc and better concentration at work. While many of the games at Lumosity are ffee, a reasonable subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users who create an account so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe.
