CAN I JUMP AS HIGH AS NBA* STARS?

No, you cannot if you do not eat as many calories as them. A basketball player needs between 2,500 and 5,000 calories per day. Bananas contain helpful nutrients that make the body feel full of energy. Each banana, on average, contains 30g of carbohydrates, and about 0.01g of vitamin C. Especially, bananas are a rich source of potassium, about 0.4g of each. Potassium reduces a sudden pain in muscles. That is why a wise basketball player often enjoys a banana before or during the game.

distance (cự ly) time (thời gian) average speed (tốc độ trung bình)

calculate (tính) equation (phương trình)

The winner of the race is the person who hasthe fastest average speed.

To calculate average speed, you need the following equation:

distance/ time = average speed

distance: the race was 200m.

time: Fields completed the 200m in 161seconds.

So, average speed:

200/161 = 1.24 metres a second (m/s)

To calculate average speed in kilometres anhour (km/h), use this equation:average speed in m/s × 3.6 = average speedin km/h.

(Đọc đoạn văn. Chọn đáp án đúng)

Which sentence might Nelson Dellis say?

a. ‘Training your brain is difficult— not everybody can do it.’

b. ‘You can become a memory champion if you work hard.’

An amazing memory

Are you good at remembering names and numbers? If the answer is ‘no’, perhaps you need some help from Nelson Dellis. He was the winner of the USA Memory Championships in New York where he broke two American records. He was the fastest to remember a pack of playing cards - in sixty-three seconds. He also memorized the most numbers in five minutes - 248. The most important part of Dellis’s work is the training.

“Everybody who’s in this competition trained their memory’, he said on the Today Show on NBC TV. ‘I train every day…. I work out my body, but I also work out my brain.’ British-born Dellis was first interested in brain training when his grandmother had memory problems, and he understood it was important for people to improve their memories. However, Dellis doesn't think he’s special or has got a ‘photographic’ memory. He thinks anybody can be a memory expert. People just need to learn about the brain and how images are important for memory. If you want to memorize a word or number, you need to change it into a picture. Dellis gives the example of a shopping list. When you see the word ‘milk’, you need to see a picture of some milk in your head. It’s a simple idea, but one that all memory experts use.
