CAN YOU PROVE WHO YOU ARE?
 	Today, we frequently read newspaper stories of unqualified people who are convicted of posing as surgeons, dentists, airline pilots or financial experts. These people are sometimes portrayed as amiable crooks, but in reality, they are not amiable; they are fraudsters who prey on people's good nature. Fraudsters can do more than just trick you or steal your cash; they can steal your identity, too.
 	Some years ago, Derek Bond, a seventy two-year-old retired civil servant, found out for himself how dreadful modern fraud can be. As he stepped off a plane at Cape Town airport, he was arrested and put in prison. It was worrying enough that he could have been mistaken for a 'most wanted' criminal, but what made matters worse was that, despite having an impeccable reputation in his hometown, it took three weeks for Mr. Bond's family to convince the authorities that they had made a mistake. Away from people who knew him, Mr. Bond's reputation was based solely on the contents of a police file. If that file said that Mr. Derek Bond, a man of medium height and build, was actually Derek Lloyd Sykes, a conman responsible for a multi-million dollar fraud in Texas, then who could prove that it wasn't true?
 	Mr. Bond was the victim of identity theft, where a thief assumes another person's identity and uses it to steal directly from that person or to commit crimes using that person's name. In the world of organized crime, for those involved illegal immigration or benefit fraud, as in drug-trafficking, money laundering fake ID is a license to print money. Even more worrying is the fact that there is now a ready market for stolen identities among the world's terrorists. More and more people are shopping and banking online or by phone these days, so the opportunities for the fraudulent use of credit cards or other personal information are increasing rapidly. In fact, it is true to say that identity theft is booming, and for those affected by it, the consequences are often catastrophic.
 	Under existing financial regulations, banks and credit organizations are required to 'know their customers' before they are allowed to open an account. This means that they have to request specific proofs of identity before they allow them to start spending] usually proof of name and address and a photo ID such as a passport or a driver's license.
 	This sounds satisfactory, but in reality it is far from foolproof. The problem is that stealing someone's identity is not rocket science. In theory, all an unscrupulous thief needs to start using a person's name is a few snippets of information, such as a discarded phone bill or a credit card receipt.
 	It has been claimed that 'bin diving' is a common way for thieves to get information. In an extensive survey, a credit checking agency examined the contents of 400 rubbish bins. They found that one in five of these contained enough sensitive information to commit identity fraud. Every time people buy or sell goods, individuals are providing information about themselves on paper.
 	Receipts, invoices and bills all contain personal information that is useful to a fraudster. But identity thieves don't even need to get their hands dirty. How often do people hand over their credit or debit cards in shops? How many people buy something over the phone or shop online?
 	All it takes is one dishonest employee and people can say goodbye to their hard-earned cash. Today, sophisticated criminals also use computer software packages to hack into the systems of banks and other organizations to steal lists of their customers' identities, lists which can sometimes run to millions of individuals.

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 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 functions 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	B. Keeping your mind empty

	A. We should concentrate on several things at once during our lives to strengthen our focus.
	B. These brain games don’t take us much time to carry out.

	D. There are some brain games for specific purposes.
Question 49. What can be inferred from the passage?
	A. There are some brain games to treat mental diseases. 
	B. Our brains will work very well during a nap.
	C. We don’t need brain games when we are playing a new sport.
	D. There is a close relationship between physical and mental health.
