When someone says that he has a good memoiy, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame （受责备），and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things； they cannot write down in a little notebook.

The lake is filled with halobacteria - microorganisms that produce a pink-colored protein when absorbing energy from the sun. Some also put the color down to brine shrimp （盐水虫F）, which boom in the salty environment.Lake HillierLake Hillier is located on Middle Island off the southern coast of Western Australia. Most people believe the deep color comes from a combination of algae and salt-loving halobacteria. However, there's a bit of mystery to Hillier. Other pink lakes change color depending on the season, the angle of the sun or air temperature. Hillier remains the same shade of pink fbr the whole year.LagunaColoradaThough it may be described as a "pink” lake. Laguna Colorada in Bolivia is often characterized as “red” or “red-orange”. Salt-loving algae and bacteria help to create this color, but sediments （沉积物）from the nearby rocks also affect the water's appearance. Like some of the other pink salt lakes, this one draws flamingos （"Q栗鸟）.Las Salinas de TorreviejaThe pink water of Las Salinas de Torrevieja in Spain is thought to be good for health and people claim improvement in their skin and lung conditions after a bath in it. The lake is not the only pink-colored thing in Torrevieja. During migration season, flamingos crowd the area.1. Which lake's color is affected by sea animals?A. Lake Hillier's.B. Lake Koyashskoye's. C. LagunaColorada. D. LasSalinas de Torrevieja.2. Where is the lake whose color remains the same all year round?A. In Spain.B. In Bolivia.C. In Crimea.D. InAustralia.3. What is special about Las Salinas de Torrevieja?A. Its water is red-orange.B. It is home to flamingos.C. Its water has health benefits.D. It changes color with the season.BEveryone wants to live longer. And we're often told that the key to doing this is making healthier lifestyle choices. Studies have shown that diet can increase lifespan （寿命）.The researchers brought together data from many studies that looked at diet and longer lives. Combining this data, the researchers were then able to discover how lifespan varied with changes in intake of fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, processed meat, sugary drink etc.Compared with the typical western diet containing high amounts of high-calorie food and low fruit and vegetable intake, the researchers were then able to produce an optimaldiet with more legumes, whole grains and nuts, and less red and processed meat.The researchers found that eating an optimal diet from age 20 would increase lifespan by more than a decade. They also found that changing from a western diet to the optimal diet at age 60 would increase lifespan by eight years. For 80-year-olds, lifespan could increase by almostthree and a half years. These results show us that the gains are largest if these changes start early in life.However, there are also a few things the study didn't take into account. First, to see these benefits, people needed to make changes to their diet within a ten-year period. This means it's uncertain if people may still see benefits to their lifespan if they make changes to their diet over a longer period of time. The study also didn't take past ill-health into account. This means that the benefits of diet on lifespan reflect an average and may be different for each person depending on a variety of other factors, such as ongoing health issues and lifestyle like smoking, drinking and exercise.means4.
