A

Around the age of 40, honest people may already admit to noticing changes in their mental abilities. This is the beginning of a gradual decline that in all too many of us will end with full-blown dementia(癡呆).

However, a few drugs that might do the job, known as “cognitive enhancement(認知增強)”, are already on the market, and a few dozen others are on the way. Perhaps the best-known is modafinil. Licensed to treat narcolepsy, the condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, it has notable effects in healthy people too. Modafinil can keep a person awake and his or her attention fixed for 90 hours straight, with none of anxiety, nervousness and bad concentration. In fact, with the help of modafinil, people who can hardly go to sleep can perform even better than their well-rested, un-medicated(未服藥的) selves.

It’s an open secret that many, perhaps most, prescriptions for modafinil are written not for people who suffer from narcolepsy, but for those who simply want to stay awake. Similarly, many people are using Ritalin not because they suffer from attention problem or any other disorder, but because they want superior concentration during exams or heavy-duty activities.

Some drugs have also been specially designed to improve memory. Many of these seem to work, and without any major side effects. So why aren’t we all on cognitive enhancers already?

“We need to be careful what we wish for,” says Daniele Piomelli at the University of California at Irvine. Repairing and improving memory may have unwanted effects, he warns. “Eventually we may end up remembering things we don’t want to.”

56. According to the message, we can learn that originally modafinil is a drug designed for _____.

A. for both healthy and unhealthy people

B. the treatment of dementia

C. people who can hardly go to sleep

D. those suffering from falling asleep suddenly

57. The passage mainly talks about _____.

A. dementia—a threat to the old people                     B. modafinil—a nice drug for dementia

C. relevant drugs to a better brain                      D. cognitive enhancement

58. The underlined sentences in paragraph two wants to tell us that _____.

A. without modafinil people suffering from sleep problems cannot rest well

B. people lacking sleep can work better than they are in a healthy state if taking modafinil

C. modafinil has greater effects on healthy people if they take it

D. with modafinil people suffering from narcolepsy can fall asleep easily

59. What’s the writer’s attitude to the drugs mentioned in the passage?

A. Positive.    B. Negative.    C. Objective(客觀的).   D. Doubtful.

For many men an women today,the image that a watch communicates is more important than the time it tells. “Complications”---features that go beyond simple timekeeping—are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a host of complications that suit almost any personality . These features include altitude trackers ,compasses, lunar calendars ,USB drivers , and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings !

Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches , for men as well as women. The Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches . The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time . It looks more like a futuristic bracelet then a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker , EleeNo , makes a “handless” watch . Using a ring of circles to keep time , this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.

In the past, the image of a man’s watch was quite different from that of a woman’s. Men’s watches tend to be bolder, larger, and more complicated than women’s watches, which were more likely to look like jewelry. Today, the differences between men’s and women’s watches are disappearing. Watchmakers are adding diamonds to their fine watches for man. And for women, they’re designing larger watches that contain complications. For example, some women’s watches now have calendars that show the phrases of the moon. Others show the time in two different cities, a handy funtion for business travelers. However, women still pay more attention than most men to the external beauty of a watch. And unlike men, women are still more likely to purchase watches that suit particular items in their wardrobes.

72.According to the passage, one type of watch complications can show you____________.

A. appointments for the day                       B. which direction is north

C. how much weight you’ve put on                D. a list of telephone numbers

73.What is the true information about the watch made by EleeNo?

A. It uses different hands to keep time.             B. It’s rather popular.

C. It doesn’t look like a watch.                   D. It’s much fun to talk about.

74.What does the writer imply about watches for women?

A. They are not as simple as they used to be.             

B. They need to improve their quality.

C. They have fewer functions and jewels.           

D. They don’t last as long as they used to.

75. What is the main topic of this article?

A. Why women are likely to buy more watches than men?

B. The differences between men’s and women’s watches

C.Current trends in the watch industry.

D.Useful tips for purchasing watches.
