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 43. What happens when we don’t exercise our brains?
A. It doesn’t work well. C. It causes lots of health problems.

B. We are better at making plans. D. Nothing improves at all.
Question 45. All of the following are true about our brains EXCEPT that______.
A. there are several web sites and apps to help us get our mental workout.
B. the number of neurons remains the same throughout our lives.
C. our brains become stronger when we are more mentally active.
D. connections and pathways between neurons play an important role in the function of our brains.
Question 46. What could replace the word “optimal” in paragraph 2.
A. excellent B. unacceptable C. debatable D. decent
Question 47. What is the meaning of the word “it” in paragraph 3.
A. Doing memory exercises C. Concentrating on many things

The world of work has undergone significant transformation in recent years, propelled by technological
advancements, shifting demographics, and evolving societal expectations. Today, work is no longer confined to
traditional office spaces or rigid schedules. Instead, it has become more fluid and dynamic, with remote work and
flexible arrangements becoming commonplace.
Technology has been a driving force behind these changes. The rise of digitalization and automation has
revolutionized industries, creating new job roles while rendering others obsolete. Artificial intelligence, robotics, and
machine learning have transformed the way we work, enabling tasks to be completed faster and more efficiently. As
a result, workers are increasingly required to adapt and upskill to remain relevant in the ever-changing job market.
Moreover, the workforce itself has become more diverse in terms of age, gender, and cultural backgrounds.
With longer life expectancies and delayed retirements, older generations are staying in the workforce longer, bringing
a wealth of experience and knowledge. At the same time, younger generations are entering the workforce with
different expectations and aspirations, valuing purpose, flexibility, and work-life balance.
The concept of work-life balance has gained prominence as employees seek greater harmony between their
professional and personal lives. Employers are recognizing the importance of fostering a healthy work environment
that promotes well-being and mental health. Flexible working arrangements, wellness programs, and remote work
options are being implemented to accommodate the changing needs and preferences of employees.
The rise of the gig economy has also had a profound impact on the world of work. Freelancing, independent
contracting, and platform-based work have gained popularity, offering individuals greater autonomy and the
opportunity to pursue multiple projects simultaneously. While this provides flexibility and entrepreneurial
opportunities, it also raises questions about job security, benefits, and workers” rights.
To conclude, the world of work is in a state of constant evolution. Technological advancements, demographic
shifts, and changing expectations have reshaped how we work and the nature of employment. As we move forward,
it is crucial to adapt to these changes, embrace new opportunities, and prioritize the well-being and fulfillment of
