a future job in subjects like law, medicine or education. But the university is not a modem invention. It has a
history that is over a thousand years.
     The world"s oldest university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion
(宗院) in A.D.972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and
talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cario decided to open up a school for higher
learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded.
     At AL-Azhar, there were many university "firsts". Different subjects were set up. The earliest ones taught
at AL-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was,
also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic, and there was no "right" answer. Finally,
famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they
were interested in. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas.
     Over a thousand years later, AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library keeps more
than 250,000 of the world"s oldest and most valuable books.Today, many of the world"s most important
universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar. 1. From the first paragraph we know that ______. [     ]

better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist. 　　
    Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries.

任务型阅读。    There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are different memorizing methods
as well as taking special care of your health.
    It is important that you regularly stimulate (刺激) your brain to make your memory more efficient. You can
do this by doing activities that you don"t normally do and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill
helps your brain to develop. When trying to memorize something, you should not allow other thoughts to entre
your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
    An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. It is called memonics (记忆术).
Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful ways.
    Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are good for your memory to work properly. Drinking a lot of water also
helps to keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and a good rest. When you are
asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with the storing information and being
tired will stop you from being able to concentrate(集中) well. Caffeine in tea and coffee is very good at
preventing sleepiness and helping concentrate well, but they can also cause problems with memory.
    In order to concentrate well, you must be relaxed. Generally keeping fit and regular health checks are both
important as well-not just for improving your memory.
根据上面短文内容填空。
1. Different memorizing methods and _____________ can improve your memory.
2. To make your memory more efficient, you ______________.
3. You should not allow other thoughts to entre your mind because you will ____________ to memorize things
   correctly.

   memory to work properly, too
5. The good thing about caffeine in tea and coffee is that caffeine can _____________.

are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.

safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky object such as a bed.
