Ways to make your brain smarter

讓自己的大腦變得更聰明

Make Simple Changes

改變習慣

We love our routines. We have hobbies and pastimes that we could do for hours on end.

人們都喜歡按常規辦事，都有各自的興趣愛好與娛樂方式，而且可以幾個小時不間斷。

But the more something is "second nature", the less our brains have to work to do it.

但是人們習慣性動作越多，大腦參與的活動就越少。

To really help your brain stay young, challenge it.

為了讓大腦保持青春狀態就要剌激它。

Change routes to the grocery store, use your opposite hand to open doors and eat dessert first.

改變去副食店的路線，改用另一只手開門，吃飯時改為先吃餐后吃的甜點與水果。

All this will force your brain to wake up from habits and pay attention again.

所有這些都會把大腦從習慣中喚醒，重新充滿活力。

【知識點講解】

pay attention 注意； 集中注意力

例句：

Now pay attention its brand please.

現在請注意它的商標。

Make sure that you pay attention to what I say.
