资料：What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

According to the passage, which of the following may help you heighten your intelligence?

A.Strengthen your cognitive skills.
B.Improve your basic conversations.
C.Begin to learn a foreign language.
D.Talk with others as often as possible.

Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works
of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about
the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine
you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in business;
and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions:
what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?
What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher-
men think like fish!

The phrase"put yourself in their shoes"in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_______________.
A:dress yourself like them
B:do as they ask you to
C:put on their shoes
D:think as they would

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.
