Getting mixed families together isn't always an easy task and some children can be left feeling hurt or angry when their parents remarry.But one woman has made sure her new step-son knows exactly how much she appreciates him,by dedicating part of her wedding vows（誓言）to him.
Vanessa Lynch,30，became stepmum to nine-year-old Henry when she tied the knot with Craig Lynch and after making her vows to her new husband,she turned her attention to the young boy.Her vows said, "Henry,I know I wasn't there for your first steps or your first words,but I promise I will be there for many more of your firsts.I promise to love you as if you were my own and lastly I promise I will be the best wife for your dad and I promise to be the best stepmum I can be for you. "
And Vanessa insisted she wanted to dedicate some of her vows to Henry because she didn't want him to see her as just a"woman his dad was married to".She explained, "I'm glad I decided to do it because Henry told me that they meant a lot to him and that he feels even closer to me than before. "
Vanessa also had a stepdad and chose to walk down the aisle with both her biological dad and her stepdad to show that family doesn't just mean blood relatives.She said, "I come from a mixed family,so I wanted to show how stepparents should treat stepchildren as though they were their own children.You don't share blood with someone,but it does not mean you can-not be a family.It all comes from the love you hold for a person and what you commit to one another. "

A good education is an excellent way to land a successful career and develop your personality.But can education also have a positive effect on our brains as we get older？A team of re-searchers under the University Research Priority Program "Dynamics of Healthy Aging" led by Lutz Jäncke,professor of neuropsychology at the University of Zurich,has now explored this question in a long-term study.
The researchers followed more than 200 senior citizens for over seven years.The study participants are not affected by dementia（痴呆），have average to above-average intelligence and lead highly active social lives.Based on complex statistical analyses,the researchers were able to show that academic education had a positive effect on age-related brain degeneration （衰退）.
The findings revealed that over the course of seven years,senior citizens with an academic background showed a significantly lower increase in typical signs of brain degeneration. "In addition,academics also processed information faster and more accurately—-for example,when matching letters and numbers of patterns.The decline in their mental processing performance was lower overall, "summarizes Lutz Jäncke.
The findings add to initial findings of other research groups,who have found that educa-tion has a positive effect on brain aging.Previous studies also suggest that mental processing speed depends on the integrity（完整性）of neural networks in the brain.If these networks are affected,mental processing speed decreases.
"Even though no one can explain the causal link between education and reduced natural brain degeneration so far,the following at least seems likely；We suspect that a high level of education leads to an increase in neural and cognitive networks over the course of people's lives,and that they build up reserves,so to speak,In old age,their brains are then better able to make up for any injury that occurs, "says neuropsychologist Lutz Jäncke.

8. From the first paragraph,we know a good education ______ .

A. helps one get whatever he needs
B. changes one's appearance
C. can ensure one's physical health
D. contributes to one's career success

9. How did researchers draw their conclusion？ ______

A. Through data analyses.
B. By reasonable prediction.
C. Through doing experiments.
D. By referring to other studies.

10. Which of the following may researchers agree with？ ______

A. Academics are not good at matching letters.
B. High academic level slows brain degeneration.
C. Academics experience fast brain degeneration.
D. Brain degeneration has no connection with education.

11. What is unclear about the findings？ ______

A. How a good education affects our brains.
B. What effects education has on our brains.
C. Why education positively affects our brains.
D. Whether education has a positive effect on our brains.

D

The accelerating melting of the Himalayan glaciers threatens the water supply of millions of people in Asia,new research warns.The study,led by the University of Leeds,concludes that over recent decades the Himalayan glaciers have lost ice ten times more quickly over the last few decades than that on average since the last major glacier expansion 400-700 years ago,a period known as the Little Ice Age.
The study also reveals that the Himalayan glaciers are shrinking far more rapidly than glaciers in other parts of the world—a rate of loss the researchers describe as "exceptional".The paper,published in Scientific Reports,made a reconstruction of the size and ice surfaces of 14，798 Himalayan glaciers during the Little Ice Age.The researchers calculate that the glaciers have lost around 40 per cent of their area—shrinking from a peak of 28，000 km²to around 19，600 km2 today.
The Himalayan mountain range is home to the world's third-largest amount of glacier ice,after Antarctica and the Arctic and is often referred to as "the Third Pole".The acceleration of melting of the Himalayan glaciers has significant impacts on hundreds of millions of people who depend on Asia's major river systems for food and energy.
The Himalayan glaciers are generally losing ice much faster in the eastern regions,The study suggests this variation is probably due to differences in geographical features on the two sides of the mountain range and their interaction with the atmosphere—resulting in different weather patterns.
Dr Carrivick,the leader of the study,said, "While we must act urgently to reduce and relieve the impact of human-made climate change on the glaciers and meltwater-fed rivers,the modelling of that impact on glaciers must also take account of the role of factors such as lakes and debris（杂物垃圾）. "

12. What may be the result of the accelerating melting of the Himalayan glaciers？ ______

A. Himalayan is getting warmer.
B. The Arctic glaciers expand frequently.
C. The whole world is going towards Ice Age.
D. Asia's water,food and energy is under threat.

13. What can we learn from the text？ ______

A. The Himalayan glaciers have lost ice since they existed.
B. The study came to its conclusion by doing experiments.
C. The Himalayan glaciers have the largest amount of ice.
D. Climate change is the main cause of the melting of glaciers.

14. Why are the eastern regions of the Himalayan glaciers losing ice much faster？ ______

A. Because of different landforms.
B. Because of the time of sunlight.
C. Because of the amount of glacier ice.
D. Because of the activities of mountain climbers.

15. What would be a suitable title for the text？ ______

A. Asian people are in danger of water supply
B. The eastern region of Himalaya melts faster
C. Himalayan glaciers are melting at an unusual rate
D. The Himalayan mountain range has more glacier ice

As the weather is colder and daytime shorter,many of us may experience changes to our energy,mood and overall well-being. (1)
Spend time in nature each day
(2) During the winter months when our daylight hours are shorter,it is even more beneficial to get outside and breathe fresh air daily.Although many of our climates do not provide a lot of vitamin D in the winter months,every little bit counts.
Drink plenty of water
When it's cold outside,we often reach for a warm cup of coffee or tea.Both drinks have antioxidant properties,but it is important to consume adequate water to stay hydrated.Purchase a large water bottle of 32 ounces or more,so that a few fill-ups get you enough. (3) So when you are thirsty,the first thing you reach for is water.
Feel connected to others
Rain,snow and freezing temperatures make it more frightening to leave the house and brace the elements to connect with people.During winter,it is normal to feel more lonely after spending more time at home,especially if you also study or work from home. (4) Plan to meet at least once a month at a favorite spot.Invite a friend or family member for a walk.Select a favorite park to meet at and get some steps and time in nature!
(5)
Spring and summer are energetically very busy,fruitful times when we naturally feel more active and enjoy packing our days with lots of activity.The fall and winter are a time to slow down and go inward,letting go of what no longer serves us and building up our reserves.
A.Prepare warm,nourishing dishes.
B.Accept the change by slowing down.
C.Keep your water bottle on your desk or workspace.
D.Schedule a standing coffee or lunch date with a friend.
E.If you follow the rules above,you will surely feel much better.
