The Spring Festival together with the winter holidays often means sharing cakes, candies and other delicious food with friends and families. Most people will eat more than they usually do. But doctors find out that what you eat may affect how well you remember things. This is bad news for people who eat too much.

Forgetfulness seems to many people an inevitable(不可避免的) part of ageing. As our bodies grow older, most of us find that many things we should remember are slipping out of minds. But new facts show that it’s possible to slow time’s effects on our minds.

Once people thought that the brain(大脑) could not make new cells(细胞), but now studies show that learning new things can help brain grow and keep the illness away from the brain.

Professor Eric Kandel, a Nobel Prize winner for his study of the human memory, says the best way to save our memories is to keep our brains in good shape. Through mental(脑力的) exercise, he says, people can keep their memories whole into their 80s and 90s.

And Mark Mattson, a professor at the National Institute on ageing, says that reducing the amount of calories fed to older rats and mice by thirty percent can be a good help to learning and memory. While it’s hard for many people to go on their diet(节食) like that, doctors tell us that even small steps can make big difference.

66. Doctors find out that ______may be bad for your memory.

A. delicious food　                             B. eating too much

C. drinking too much                             D. doing exercise
