Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence
Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.
Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter._______– This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax._______ – I used to think that I’d learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate more easily.
_______– Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.
________– Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You’ll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic(无精打采) and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity(敏锐) all day.
If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.________ – Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.
Conclusion – I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I’ve proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

Question: I found a new job in the nearby town last week. But my six-year-old son doesn’t want to leave, because he has established a good friendship with our neighbor’s children.

Answer: Congratulations on your new position! It frequently causes them to feel unsafe. But don’t worry. There are many things you can do to make the moving experience less frightening for your children.

If you approach the coming move as an exciting adventure for the entire family, it will help to calm your children’s fears.

Seven million people died as a result of air pollution in 2013, the World Health Organization says. PETER HANNAM 1:26 pmIts findings suggest a link between air pollution and heart diseases, lung problems and cancers. |
请阅读以下新闻信息,然后匹配与上面新闻相关的报道内容。The study by scientists at Germany’s Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel examined five possible methods of climate engineering as a means of heading off the worst influences of global warming, along with widespread tree plantings of the deserts, and the study examined three methods involving the ocean.
The report, to be given later this month by the IPCC and obtained by The Independent in Britain, says that food security will increasingly be threatened, with crop output to drop by as much as 2 percent per decade for the rest of the century. Demand, though, is on course to rise 14 per cent per decade until the year of 2050.
One in eight global deaths were linked with air pollution, making it “the world’s largest single environmental health risk”, the WHO said. Nearly six million of the deaths had been in South East Asia and the WHO’s Western Pacific area, about 3.3 million died as a result of indoor air pollution and 2.6 million outdoors, it found.
As the atmosphere heats up because of climate change, more rain in Sydney will most likely cause disaster with traffic and public transport and may increase the number of people injured or killed in flash floods, such as the man who drowned after being swept in to a storm water drain at Lucas Heights on Monday, said Nicky Phillips.
A five-year assessment by IPCC details the global influence because of the climate change, including the displacement of hundreds of millions of people, reduced crop output and increased the loss of millions of dollars of the economy, which harms Australia’s economy in many industries very seriously.
