12．（5分）When I was a kid，my brothers，sisters and I used to have ice cream for dessert.Every day，we would choose which ice cream flavor to have.Then we would happily wolf down our ice cream as fast as we could.
Once when I was probably about 10 or 11，our grandpa came to visit.Grandpa always had a different view on things.At that time，my sister and I were making bets（打赌） on who could finish our own ice cream first.With a smile，Grandpa said，"Why would you want to finish first？If you eat slowly，it will last longer.You should have a competition to see who can finish last. "Even now，I always try to taste my ice cream，but of course this is about more than just dessert.
Too often，kids want to scramble（争夺） for more，whether it' s more ice cream，more toys，or more friends. This habit persists （持续） into our adult years.We never develop the skill of treasuring（珍重） what we have.If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it，we will have a happier life.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the chance to enjoy what's in front of you，the pleasure will last longer.It's a lesson that，I think，has made my adult life happier as well.
These days，when I want something，I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it.Then，when I finally get it，I make sure to treasure it as long as possible.Because I know that no matter what it is，it will be gone all too soon.

13．（5分）Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam？Walking backward might be a good solution.Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short﹣ term memory.
Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video.After watching the video，volunteers were divided into three groups.One group was told to walk 10 meters forward.The second group walked 10 meters backward.The third group stood in one place.All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.
The scientists found that the backward walking group got two more answers correct on average（平均） than the other two groups.This suggests that the relationship between the concepts （概念） of time and space is important considering how our minds form memories."Time is really expressed via space，" Aleksandar Aksentijevic，who led the study，told The Daily Mail.When you walk backward，you see things from a different way compared to walking forward.This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.
And walking backward is not just good for our brains.It is also good for the rest of our body.Compared to walking forward，walking backward is more challenging.This can improve our energy in a short time and burn more calories.
Besides，walking backward puts less stress on our knees.It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees，according to researchers from the University of 0 regon in the US.Walking backward also keeps our spines （脊椎） strong，which can help to reduce pain in the back.This might be why many old people like walking backward.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

A.发布

（2）What was the first group asked to do by the researchers？

B.To walk up and down.
C.To walk 10 meters forward.

（3）What does the test mentioned in Paragraph 2 show？ 　 　
A.Walking backward is only good for our brains.
B.Walking backward puts less stress on our knees.
C.Walking backward uses more energy in a short time.
D.Walking backward improves our short﹣ term memory.
（4）Why do old people like walking backward？ 　 　
A.Because it helps burn more calories.
B.Because it helps them recall their past.
C.Because it helps them remember things.
D.Because it helps reduce pain in their backs.

14．（5分）The world is getting bigger，or at least fatter.Recent studies show that more and more people are living an unhealthy life.（1）　 　 Sofa potatoes are people who spend too much time in front of the TV and eat too much junk food.Now，there is also a new kind of people，namely the "mouse potatoes".（2）　 　Why are we becoming potatoes？
（3）　 　We don't have as much time to prepare and eat food as we used to.Fast food restaurants are everywhere and supermarket shelves are filled with ready﹣ made or prepared dishes. （4）　 　But they make it more difficult for us to control what we eat.
（5）　 　 In this way，we will be healthier and have more energy to enjoy the good things in life.A healthy diet should give us the calories（卡路里） we need but not contain too much fat and sugar.A balanced diet with exercise is the recipe for a healthy life.And remember，it is better to eat a potato than to be one.
