Moving Your Mind for Maximum Fitness
When people design a new workout programme, they often target their chest, stomach,
and leg muscles, hoping to sculpt the perfect physique. However, they often neglect the most
important part of the body: the brain. Our brains grow stronger when we exercise them and
weaker when neglected. To assist in keeping our minds sharp, several websites and apps offer

brain games to help us get our mental workouts accomplished in a very short time.
As we age, our vocabulary continues to expand and we become better at creative plans.

However, by the time we enter our 20s, our prefrontal cortex starts to shrink. Although part of
the reason for our decline is physical, there is evidence that targeted exercises can halt or even
reserve cognitive damage. Throughout our lives we maintain the ability to create new neurons
whenever we learn something new, like a foreign language or a new sport. By repeating these
activities, we create new pathways and connections between neurons that keep our minds
functioning at an optimal level. This is what brain fitness exercises aim to accomplish.
These digital exercises are broken into different categories. The first is memory exercises.
These programmes display information to users and then quiz us to see how much we can recall.
The second type is attention exercises. These games get users to focus on multiple tasks at once,
dividing their attention. Although trying to concentrate on several things at once during work is
not recommended, doing it in a game environment can help to strengthen our focus in the long
term. Speed exercises, on the other hand, are designed to keep our minds agile. In addition to
these major categories, there are other games that focus on specific situations like remembering
names and faces, or calculating directions.
Although many users rave about positive effects of these games, there are other hacks we
can use to strengthen our brains. One is napping. Studies have shown that people who nap in the
afternoon fared much better at mental tasks than those who didn't. A little caffeine can also
make your mind sharper, as long as you don't overdo it. Finally, getting some physical exercise
also tends to improve the clarity of our thinking. In other words, maybe the Roman poet Juvenal
was on to something when he wrote “A sound mind in a healthy body”.
Question 24: What happens when we don't exercise our brains?
A. It grows much bigger in size.

B. It doesn't work well.

C. It causes lots of health problems.

D. It keeps functioning well.

Question 25: What function of our brain improves as we get older?

A. Nothing improves at all.

B. We can remember more things.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.
Biorobotics is a field within robotic science that is based on the movements of living
things. The most famous biorobots look and move a lot like humans. However, there are several
robots that have been made to mimic animals. While many companies develop such robots as
toys, some are used for practical purposes.
One example of a biorobot is a flying robot that is based on the movements of bees. The
robot, named “Carlton,” was developed by the German Research Center for Artificial
Intelligence. Built to be both light and powerful, it can hover like a bee in tight spaces, and also
change direction without losing speed. This robot’s abilities make it very useful for military and
police search and rescue missions. For example, Carlton can hide behind a tall wall, rise up to
quickly look at what is on the other side, and then hide again. It can also send video images of
what it sees to soldiers in a safe location far away.
“Modsnake” is a robot that was modeled on snakes. This robot was developed by the
Carnegie Mellon University Biorobotics Lab. It is made to move like a snake, so it can pass
through narrow spaces, move over all sorts of obstacles, climb poles, and even swim. The way
Modsnake moves makes it useful for a variety of tasks such as checking for survivors in
collapsed buildings, finding damaged areas inside of pipes, and cleaning up oil spills in lakes
and rivers.

A third robot, based on cockroaches, also has several uses. “Sprawl” was designed by a
research team at Stanford University to take videos and recover small objects. Like many sixlegged robots, Sprawl was made to move like an insect. However, Sprawl is uncommonly fast

and strong for its size, just like a real cockroach. These characteristics make it particularly
useful for military situations in which an enemy might try to disable it. It is very difficult to
shoot because it moves quickly and is relatively small. Even if an enemy shoots Sprawl, it can
usually keep functioning.
