21、, strong women who had accomplished much, one of whom invented the worlds first computer compiler(編譯器). Recently, though, I learned about a role model who was right under my nosemy own mother. Growing up, I knew she had worked as a secretary before I was born. I knew that she had joined the WAVESthe

22、 Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service branch of the U. S. Naval Reserve (海軍預備隊)during World War II. And I knew shed worked in an office that was involved with codes (編碼). But when she talked about it- rare, because she had been sworn to secrecyshe described her duties as ordinary, routine.

23、 I never questioned it. After all, the woman I knew was a reserved suburban mom.Not long ago, a chance conversation with a colleague led me to the book, Code Girls. It tells the story of the WAVES, who decrypted (解碼) and encrypted secret messages during the war. They worked around the clock, knowing

24、 that the lives of tens of thousands of soldierstheir brothers, husbands, fatherswere on the line. Inspired, I began a journey to explore the mystery of my mothers service that continues to this day. I got some of her working records about her unit, OP19. In two years, she was promoted three times.

25、She was no secretary, and her duties were hardly ordinary. My mother always encouraged my interest in science and insisted to my father that I go to college. “Youre going to grow up to be another Madame Curie, ”she told me. She was always pointing at other women. She did not see herself as someone t

CA lifetime of active exercise will let you keep the body of a 20-year-old well into your 70s, scientists have found.The physical decline thought to be an unavoidable part of ageing is actually the result of not exercising enough, ac

30、cording to the research, which found that regular cyclists maintained the muscles, lungs, and even the immune system(免疫系統)of people decades younger. Besides, many serious health problems could be prevented if people became more active rather than being sedentary(久坐), researchers insist. Janet Lord,

31、leading researcher or the research, said: “Our findings disprove the assumption that ageing automatically makes us weaker. We now have strong evidence that encouraging people to do regular exercise throughout their lives can be a solution to the problem that we are living longer but not healthier.”

32、She looked at125 keen cyclists aged 55 to 79 who had been exercising regularly for 25yearsand compared them with 75 ordinary people of a similar age and 55 people aged 20 to 36. On a string of physical measures, the cyclists showed no difference from people much younger. Besides, scientists were sur

33、prised to discover that their immune systems were also the same. They kept making T cells, which organize the response to new infection, in the same way as younger people, while production tailed off in older people who did not cycle. “Its in the textbooks that your immune system doesnt work as well

34、 and you get more infections but in the cyclists they were the same as a 20-year-old, ”Professor Lord said. She now aims to discover how much exercise people need to do to stay young. “My suspicion is you dont need to do a massive amount. It may be intensive(強度)that helpslike going up and down the s

35、tairs ten times a day. You get a big benefit by simply doing something instead of sitting”.While there is no magic formula(方案)for staying mentally and physically fit in later life, the benefits of keeping active can never be ignored, whatever your age or state of health.28.

39、ke to be able to remember anything you ever learned? Would it be blessing or a curse?Since the early 20th century, psychologists have identified countless cases of people with super memories that allow them to lean and retain (保持) new information with total accuracy. The most famous was Solomon Sher

40、ashevski, the subject of Alexander Lurias classic book, The Mind of a Mnemonist (記憶大師). Sherashevski could recall an amazing number of facts due to his talent for eidetic imagery(照相式記憶)，which allowed him to recall sights, sounds, smells etc. Sadly enough, he seemed to have significant difficulty liv

41、ing a normal life due to his inability to forget anything he learned and the continual daydreaming caused by his constant recall. There are certainly other mnemonists, whose memory feats (功績) are also surprisingly impressive. Strangely enough though, research suggests these professional mnemonists a

42、re no better than average peoples peaking of remembering events out of their own lives. iouBut there are also people whose memories seem to work differently. They are able to recall almost every moment of their lives even the early childhood, a condition commonly called hyperthymesia (超憶癥). Unlike m

43、nemonists, people with hyperthymesia dont rely on any techniques to memorize, it seems to happen automatically. While no former studies have found the reasons, a recent laboratory test shows they arent any better than average people in terms of learning new information.Recently Neuropsychology prese

44、nts a study of a 63-year-old man identified as “MM”: He didnt realize his memory skills until 29 when he found he could recall events from American history with amazing accuracy. Despite his superior memory, his life seemed completely unaffected. He did poorly in school, no friends at all. Besides,

45、though his recall resembled that of people with hyperthymesia, his memories werent quite as vivid.So far there isnt enough information to make any real conclusions about the super memory. However, as new studies become available, we are sure to learn about what makes these brains so unusual.32. What

46、 made it difficult for Sherashevski to live a normal life?A. His poor social skills.B. His great interest in history.C. His early childhood experience. D. His inability to forget things.33.

50、irl. I delivered newspapers to peoples homes and sold subscriptions door-to-door. That job taught me persistence (堅持). To succeed, especially in sales you have to knock or a lo of doors. In high school, I worked at Baskin Robbins. The manager didnt appreciate it when I gave out overly-generous porti

51、ons (份額) to customers. 37Until you run the show, you answer to the person who does. In college, I worked as a part-time telemarketer (電話銷售員) for an insurance company, from which I made some good money. But like all telemarketers, I was rejected far more often than not. Usually, I even didnt get past

52、 the first sentence. After I graduated, I was offered a position in a morning radio show. We put out a good product. But it wasnt enough- because timing and luck are also important, and you cant control those. 39 What choice do you have?The radio show taught me that I could be a host. I put together
