Read the following two texts.Answer the questions on each text by choosing A， B， CorD.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Text 1 Late last year， I needed to transport some furniture from our house in Sussex to myson's flat in central London， I should have paid a man to do it for me， but foolishly confident in my driving abi ity， I decided to hire a van and drive it myself.It was a Ford Transit 280， long and wide； you couldn't see out of the back.You never really knew how close you were to anything else on the road. Reversing in my home yard， l crashed into a small shed， causing permanent damage.At least I owned the shed. I loaded up the fumiture and set out.By now it was rush hour.My nerves broke down， as l steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes， across oncoming vehicles， between distances ofbuses， at last to Charlotte Street. Here， I found an available parking space.As I reversed into it， I noticed three people at a pavement cafe waving to me.I got out， trembling violently， like one who has just endured a stormy Atlantic crossing.“You've shifted the car parked behind you three feet， ”they said， and it belonged to a disabled person.I examined the car.There were white scratches along is front bumper.It bore a disabled sign.So， now I was a bad driver and a badman.Under the stem gaze of the three， I left an apologetic note on the damaged car's windscreen， giving my phone number. I unloaded the fumiture， dripping with sweat.Wanting only to escape the monster， I drove the van back to its base on the Edgware Road.On arrival， the hire man told me I must fill it up with petrol before retuming it.“Just charge me， ”I cried， sill shaking with fear.He gazed at me with understanding.No doubt he'd witnessed others in this state before.“How about I drive you to a petrol station， you fill up， and I drive her back?”he asked. He danced the great van through the traffic so casually that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful. 26.The writer felt regretful that he had________. [A] hired someone to drive for him [B] asked his son to do the delivery [C] rented a small van for his goods [D] delivered the furniture himself 27.On his way to Charlotte Street， the writer felt________. [A] frightened [B] annoyed [C] relaxed [D] excited

28.In the parking lot， the writer [A] saw a disabled man [B] ran into his friends [C] hit another vehicle [D] examined his van 29.The writer uses the word“monster”(para.5) to refer to [A] the bad experience [B] the heavy fumi ture [C] the guy at the base [D] the vehicle he drove 30.Watching the hire man drive， the writer felt [A] doubtful [B] grateful [C] ashamed [D] worried Text 2 By the time you retire， there's no doubt about it， your brain is n't what it used to be.By 65，most people wil start to notice the signs：you forget people' s names and the teapot occasionally tums up in the fridge. There is a good reason why our memories start to let us down.At this stage of lie， we are steadily losing brain cells in critical areas.This is not too much of a problem at fist； even in old age， the brain is flexible enough to compensate.At some point， though， the losses start to make themselves felt. Clearly， not everyone ages in the same way.so what's the difference between a happy， intelli-gent old person and a forgetful， bad-tempered granny?And can we improve our chances of becoming the former? Exercise can certainly help.Numerous studies have shown that gentle exercise three times a week can improve concentration and abstract reasoning in older people， perhaps by encouraging the growth of new brain cells.Exercise also helps steady our blood sugar.As we age， our blood sugar control worsens， which causes a large increase in blood sugar levels.This can affect an area that helps form memories.Since physical activity helps control blood sugar， getting out and about could reduce these peaks and， potentially， improve your memory. Coordination training could also help.Studies have shown that specifically targeting motor control and balance improves learning function in 60 to 80-year-olds.
