Getting older isn＇t all good news. It can also come with deteriorating （变坏） health that makes it difficult to maintain a high quality of life in retirement. There are 4 games and apps that can help seniors stay sharp and avoid dementia （痴呆症）.
Witty Words This is an app that presents level-based crossword puzzles and word connect games, all featuring oversized buttons and controls designed for use by seniors. It contains games that use a points system to evaluate the performance of its players. That means it can dynamically increase or decrease the difficulty of its games to suit each individual, which keeps seniors engaged with it and benefiting from its use.
Peak
This is more than just a simple set of games. It's a complete brain-training ecosystem that includes everything seniors need to stay sharp and even improve their cognitive abilities. Peak even includes a built-in personal trainer that helps track players' progress and plot the steps they'll need to improve their mental sharpness. That makes it one of the more structured approaches to brain training seniors can use to avoid dementia.
Lumosity
Like Peak, Lumosity takes a scientific approach to brain training, by giving players access to a variety of games developed to improve specific mental sharpness metrics. They begin by testing game mechanics in a laboratory setting to see how well they challenge specific types of cognitive abilities. Then they craft games around those mechanics, adding in fun themes and enjoyable graphical elements. The resulting games keep players engaged while they improve their performance at the given tasks.
Matrix Brain Challenge
It's a memory training game that contains twenty difficulty levels and allows players to check their performance relative to thousands of their peers who also play the game. It's fun, engaging, and useful as a tool to combat the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's disease.
21. Who are the games designed for
A. The sick. B. The elderly. C. The injured. D. The disabled.
22. What is special about Peak
A. It adjusts the difficulty of the games dynamically.
B. It contains interesting themes and attractive pictures
C. It keeps the players healthy both mentally and physically.
D. It monitors the players' progress and makes plans for them.
23. If your grandparents tend to be forgetful, which game will you recommend
A. Witty Words. B. Peak.
C. Lumosity. D. Matrix Brain Challenge.

I live in San Luis Obispo, California, about four miles from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while they're migrating. In November 2020, the whales were around, so my friend Liz and I took out our yellow double kayak to watch the wildlife.
We got out on the water at about 8:30 am. For the first half hour, we didn't see anything. Then I spotted two pairs of whales right past the pier, swimming toward us. We were in awe: it's an amazing feeling to be so close to a creature that size.
When whales go down after breaching （跃出水面）, they leave what looks like an oil slick on the water. I figured if we paddled toward that spot, we'd be safe from the whales, since they'd just left. We followed them at a distance- or what I thought was a distance. I later found out that it's recommended to keep 90 meters away. We were probably more like 18 meters away.
All of a sudden, a tightly packed swarm of fish started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Their movement sounded like crackling glass around us. At that moment, I knew we were too close. I was terrified. Then I felt the kayak lifted out of the water and tipped back into the ocean. I figured the whale was going to drag us down somehow, and I had no idea how deep we'd be sucked underwater.
What I didn't realize at the time was that Liz and I were in the whale's mouth. It had engulfed my entire body except for my right arm and paddle. Liz, meanwhile, was looking up directly into the whale's jaw- it was like a big white wall. She told me later she thought she was going to die. I was still worried about being sucked down by the vacuum, so I just kept thinking that I had to get up and fight this.
Whales have enormous mouths but tiny throats. Anything they can't swallow, they spit out. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water about a meter apart. The entire ordeal lasted only ten seconds, but to me it felt like an eternity.
A few people were nearby, and someone shot a video of the entire incident. A few days later, I studied the video and saw how close I'd come to being injured or killed. I became so much more appreciative of life after that day. There's no way I'm getting that close to whales again. I want to respect their space and now I'm very aware of the power of nature.
24. How did the author and her friend feel when they first spotted the whales
A. Scared and concerned.
B. Surprised and impressed.
C. Confused and restless.
D. Panicked and breathless.
25. What happened when they got really close to the whale
A. They were chased by a pack of fish.
B. They were injured by the whale's jaw.
C. They were nearly swallowed by the whale.
D. They were dragged down deep into the ocean.
26. What did the author learn from the incident
A. She learned that nature deserves our respect.
B. She learned how to protect herself in danger.
C. She learned that it's not always right to be curious.
D. She learned how tiny humans are in front of whales.
27. What is the writing purpose of this text
A. To comment on an incident.
B. To present research findings.
C. To narrate a terrifying experience.
D. To advocate wildlife protection.
C
Artworks get dirty. Art that has been around for centuries gets even dirtier. If any art is cleaned too often or with some harmful chemical materials, it can be ruined in an instant. In Italy, some scientists were tasked with cleaning status by Michelangelo at the Medici Chapels. They knew that just using soap and water wasn't going to work because there were too many layers of dirt on them. So, what did they do They made bacteria, which have traditionally been viewed as a threat to art, do the dirty work.
Michelangelo's marble statues have been stained since the 16th century. Experts could not use a common chemical cleaner because it would easily cause great damage to or even destroy the details of the valuable pieces. Luckily, scientists developed a substance with bacteria that could eliminate the dirt without damaging the marble. The scientists tested several kinds of bacteria on small pieces of marble before finding the one that worked best to swallow the dirt. After seeing positive effects, they later applied the bacteria to whole statues. In the end, the substance turned out to be very effective. It is now considered the best way to get such statues to look new again.
After the special treatment, the statues began to glow again and visitors were impressed when admiring them. While the works will never look exactly the same as they did 500 years ago when they were first made and brand new, at least they now look much better.
28. Why weren't water and soap used to clean the statues
A. Because the artworks could fade.
B. Because the statues might be broken.
C. Because the stain was too old to clean up.
D. Because the material was too fragile to clean.
29. What does the underlined word “eliminate" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Eat away.
B. Tidy up.
C. Blow away.
D. Wrap up.
30. What can be learned from the passage
A. The statues were thoroughly cleaned.
B. Some bacteria arc the “natural enemies” of dust.
C. The cleaned artworks arc identical to what they used to be.
D. The cultivated bacterium is the best cleaner to the artworks.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Special Substance Works Best on Marble.
B. A New Cleaning Bacterium Catches Our Eye.
C. Bacteria Rescue Priceless Works of Italian Art.
D. Ancient Italian Artworks Take on a New Look.
D
International scientists have found that people from different cultures around the world like and dislike the same kinds of smells.
The researchers, from Oxford University and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, tested smell preferences in 235 people. “We wanted to examine if people around the world have the same smell perception （感知能力）and like the same types of smell, or whether this is something that is culturally learned, "” said the study author Dr. Artin Arshamian.
The scientists took 10 different scents and presented them to 235 people from nine different cultures to find out what was universally loved and hated. Dr. Arshamian said the people lived in various places, including rainforests, coasts, mountains and cities, and were therefore exposed to very different smells. The 235 people were asked to rank smells on a scale of pleasant to unpleasant. Different people within each group had their own preferences, but there were very few differences between the groups overall.
Vanilla was consistently ranked the most pleasant smell by the groups, followed by peaches and lavender. The least pleasant smell was isovaleric acid （异戊酸）, which is found in many foods, such as cheese, soy milk and apple juice, but also in foot sweat.
“The smells we like or dislike are partly determined by personal preference but also by the molecular structure, or chemical makeup of the particular smell, which explains why we like or dislike a certain smell, ”said the scientists.
32. What do we know about the participants
A. They are of all ages.
B. They are from ten countries.
C. They have colorful lifestyles.
D. They live in different environments.
33. What can we conclude from the research
A. Vanilla is widely used in the world.
B. Apple juice is the least preferred food.
C. People’s smell preferences vary with altitude.
D. Culture has very little to do with smell preferences.
34. Why do people have the same smell preferences
A. Because they have similar smell perception.
B. Because they share common growing background.
C. Because few individuals have their own smell tastes.
D. Because sense of smell is mainly decided by personal tastes.
35. How was the research carried out
A. By analyzing cases.
B. By conducting surveys.
C. By performing observations
D. By reviewing documents.

Never can you imagine how your next friendship will come into being. During a summer vacation some years ago. I was doing a part-time job at McDonald’s. While handing a hamburger to a woman at the drive-through window, 1 noticed that she had a box of what seemed to be purple tomatoes alongside. （If you have ever had a drive-through job, you know that it's bard not to look into someone's car when you are near his or her face. ）That's when I felt the desire coming on. I felt that I was eager to explore what they exactly were. But I just didn't know how to start. Would she refuse my curiosity directly or just keep silent, even with a look of disgust
After a struggle in my heart, I decided to grasp the last minute. As I handed her the burger, I said, "Those tomatoes look special! What kind are they ” She smiled and I thought she was about to start laughing, but instead she replied, "Here, have some!" Within seconds 1 had a handful of splendid purple tomatoes. "Oh, no, you don't need to give me any!" I said. Those tomatoes looked expensive. "Here, have more, "she insisted, and now I had six of the fattest and prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen. I weakly tried to protest:"Really, you didn't have to give me any, hut I appreciate it. "
The woman smiled again and said: "I hope you enjoy them. And to answer your question. it＇s an heirloom （传家宝）breed that my mom used to plant. So they aren't like the ones you get in the grocery store. " I thanked her again, and she sped off. She was like an adult version of the tooth fairy: I gave her hamburger and she gave me tomatoes.
Paragraph 1:
After a couple of weeks, a box of fresh vegetables was sent to my work place.
Paragraph 2
I decided to accept her invitation to visit her vegetable garden.
