You know that eating a sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong.But do you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter? Here are some steps toward a smarter brain.
Limit your TV viewing
① Never spend too much time on TV viewing, for it needs very little brain activities.Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do.If you do watch TV, choose something educational and meaningful.
Travel
Travelling to another country forces you to see and do things in a fresh way, bringing stimulation to the brain.
Learn a new language
Learning a new language involves different learning methods.Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems that you may meet in later years.
Read often
As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren't familiar.Reading makes your vocabulary much larger if you always search for words and definitions that you don't know.Each week, choose an animal, a bird or fish, and read everything you can about it.Stretch your brain as you become an expert on the subject.
Calculate （計算）when you shop
As you put things in your grocery cart, total everything in your head.See how close you get to the actual total.
Use your non-dominant（不占優(yōu)勢的）hand
If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed.Doing familiar things in a different way will make your brain create new neural （神經(jīng)）networks.
Wechat（微信）
② Read messages from various people.They have different interests.And some say that learning to express yourself in just 100 words is a great brain challenge.

【解析】文章大意：合理飲食和鍛煉能使身體健康強(qiáng)壯，但你知道使你的大腦更健康聰明的方法嗎？短文介紹了使大腦更聰明的七步驟：限制看電視，旅行，學(xué)習(xí)一門外語，經(jīng)常閱讀，購物時計算，使用劣勢手，微信。
（1）翻譯題。never：從不，絕不；spend…on…：把時間花在……上；too much time太多的時間；TV viewing看電視的名詞短語；very little很少，activities活動。故譯成：絕對不要花費太多時間看電視，因為它幾乎不需要腦力勞動。
（2）句型轉(zhuǎn)換題。句意：Read messages from various people.讀來自不同人們的消息。 They have different interests.他們有不同的興趣。后句是對前句中people的說明，可以合并成帶有定語從句的復(fù)合句，先行詞是people，指人，用關(guān)系詞who引出后句作定語從句，故合并成：Read messages from various people who have different interests.
（3）推理判斷題。題意：你為什么經(jīng)常按照本文閱讀？根據(jù)閱讀那一段的大意，閱讀的原因是：可以查閱不內(nèi)的人物及地點、可以使自己的詞典變大、鍛煉大腦。故回答：Because you can look up people or places that aren't familiar, makes your vocabulary much larger and stretch your brain。
（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：文中提到了多少種使你的大腦更健康聰明的方法？根據(jù)短文，提到了“限制看電視，旅行，學(xué)習(xí)一門外語，經(jīng)常閱讀，購物時計算，使用劣勢手，微信�！逼叻N方法，故回答：Seven./ 7./ There are seven steps (towards a smarter brain are mentioned in the passage)。
（5）題目推斷題。題意：給短文一個題目。短文主要介紹使大腦更聰明的步驟，故可以用這些標(biāo)題： Steps towards a smarter brain / How to be smarter / How to be cleverer / Steps towards a cleverer brain
