As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I leftwork at 5 pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded,but as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids werent with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the walls, ceilings pulled down. At first we tried to push on through. We didnt want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community. We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors, and Id never thought how much Id miss that. Although-our situation was very bad, its difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at whats happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didnt have a straw hut that was swept away, and our house is still sanding. Were lucky.” We moved back home in August. With December coming, theres reconstruction work to be done, so its difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I cant wait Im going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support.

It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information (). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between "dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you're pretty quick.The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language. "When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do 'use it or lose it' ," says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.43. Dr. Merzenichs training method mainly depends on _. A. speech training B. computer languages C. the activities one joins in D. the information being dealt with44. By saying "the brain at any age is highly plastic ", the writer probably means the brain can be_. A. used B. mastered C. developed D. researched45. What can we learn from the text? A. Practice makes a quick mind. B. Brain res
