WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore US This no doubt explains the reason (31) schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle (32) dates
from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it (33) .One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions — the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34) _and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better Exercise also reducesstress, which is very bad for the memory
The old saying that —eating fish makes you brainyl may be true after all Scientists have discovered that the fats (35) _in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon — as well as in olive oil - help to improve the memory Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good - brain food, too

correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used
successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of other fields The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living things
on Earth Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of carbon-14
Trang 6remaining in an object can be used to date that object
Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the
carbon- 14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14 It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that
indicates the age of the substance If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14 is
roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the carbon-14 has
decayed into nitrogen-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years When
objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the miniscule
amount that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age In the case of older objects, other age-dating methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than carbon has
Question 43: This passage is mainly about
A. archeology and the study of ancient artifacts
B. one method of dating old objects
C various uses for carbon
D the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14
Question 44: Which of the following is NOT true about carbon-14?
A. It and nitrogen always exist in equal amounts in any substance
B. Its half-life is more than 5,000 years
C It can decay into nitrogen-14
D It is radioactive
Question 45: The word “it” in paragraph I refers to
C any organic natural material D. archeology
Question 46: The word “underlying” in paragraph I could best be replaced by _
C serving as a basis for D. being studied through
Question 47: The word “roughly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. precisely B harshly C approximately D. coarsely
Question 48: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses _
A. what substances are part of all living things
B. how carbon-14 decay intonitrogen-14
C why carbon-14 has such a long half-life
D. various other age-dating methods
Question 49: It is implied in the passage that
A. carbon dating has no known uses outside of archeology
Trang 7B. fossils cannot be age-dated using carbon-14
C carbon dating could not be used on an item containing nitrogen
D carbon-14 does not have the longest known half-life
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that if an item contains more carbon-14 than nitrogen-14, then the item is _
A. not as much as 5,570 years old
B. too old to be age-dated with carbon-14
C too radioactive to be used by archeologists
D more than 5.570 years old
