16、ed_me_off. I hadnt been taught to be so selfish that I should focus on only myself. I thought I needed to be helping others and, along the way, I would also be helping myself. Now, I realise I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one. Over 30 years after seeing
17、the book about looking out for number one, Im realising number one, me, is the person I should be concerned about first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world？” Most people answer, the customer. He then asks, if there were only two people left in the world
18、, the customer and you, who would you want to survive? Now the answer is me. It makes sense that if we cant help ourselves first, we will never be prepared to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in a position to help othe
19、rs in the future. But many of us are slow to understand this. It has been said that happiness will bring success, but success doesnt always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. For some of us we can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will s
20、eek for high levels of success thinking that that will bring happiness.

C Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human
24、 experiences. Keep on reading to know all the amazing power of music. A recent study suggested that preterm (早产的) babies appeared to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effe

Many people experiencing brain damage often have speech and movement- related problems. Music can help them recover from brain injuries. As a different

When people with neurological (神经 系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them regain a balanced walk. Though music cannot make deafness dis
27、appear, it really can stave_off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people, 74 of whom were musicians. Participants were asked to do some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non- musicians, and this difference got clearer with age. This means that a 70- yea
28、r- old musician hears better than a 50- year- old non- musician, even in a noisy environment. Besides, music can mend a broken heart. It is not about a thrown- away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or a heart operation by reducing b

According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Ca
34、meron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.” The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities t
35、hat require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that child
36、ren have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity wi

Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a shortterm memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to inc
38、rease the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai- chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of phy
39、sical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week. 32 What is the connection between exercise and brain development? AExercise helps make our blood vessels.
40、 BPhysical exercise helps us think better. CExercise prevents us having brain diseases. DMore physical exercises enlarge our brains. 33How can exercise affect babies? AWhether they are excited or not depends on movements. BA lack of movement results from their learning disabilities. CThe more freque
