Is it possible to improve your brain function？The answer is "yes".
Information in your brain is collected，stored and recalled by neural pathways.These pathways are responsible for your abilities to solve problems，remember familiar faces and tasks，without paying a ton of efforts.Millions of these neural pathways begin developing from the time when you are growing into a baby.To keep our memory healthy，we need to create new pathways continually.
As we age，our lifestyles often change，stopping those pathways from being developed.Two frequent changes are a decrease in exercise and less attention to our diet，which have a negative effect on our brain and memory.Our brain requires consistent stimulation，regardless of our age，and looking for ways to excite the production of new pathways is critical.Just like your physical muscles need to be used in different ways to make them stronger，our brain needs change to help challenge its abilities.
One simple way to stimulate the production of new pathways is trying something new.Challenge your brain with puzzles，a new language or learning how to play an instrument.Anything different and new can stimulate your brain and memory.The best activities are the ones outside of your comfort zone.They push you as you develop new neural pathways.The effort involved in learning and committing to memory a new skill，with new terms and language，is a great way to exercise your brain.
Another way to stimulate the production of new pathways is doing exercise.When you exercise your body，you are also working out your mind，because regular activity helps to improve the chemicals in your brain and to protect brain cells.
（1）According to the passage，what can negatively affect our brain and memory？A decrease in exercise and less attention to the diet.A decrease in exercise and less attention to the diet.
（2）Why are the best activities the ones outside of your comfort zone？Because they can stimulate one's brain and memory to develop new neutral pathways.Because they can stimulate one's brain and memory to develop new neutral pathways.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
