CLOZE TEST
1. Read the text below and choose the best option.
Many different factors affect how well we learn. It 1__________ that we can’t control all
of these factors, but there are many that we can. For example, fuel for our brain comes
from calories in the food we eat. In fact, 20% of the calories we eat are used by our
brain. Although not all calories help the brain, research 2___________ that some foods,
such as egg yolk, whole grains, nuts, fish, dark leafy green vegetables, beans,
strawberries and blueberries might be especially good for concentration and memory.
Drinking enough water is also important. The brain is more than 70% water. There is a
3___________ between drinking enough water and concentration. We need around six
to eight glasses of non-sugary, non-alcoholic fluid each day. Remember also the
importance of oxygen, which is carried to the brain by your blood. When you move your
body, your blood flow 4____________ and your brain gets more oxygen. Going for a
walk, running, or riding a bike really help get oxygen to the brain, as do stretching and
breathing deeply.
Besides exercise, rest is important. Getting enough rest boosts our mood and helps us
concentrate. What’s more, when we are asleep, the brain practices what we did during
the day. The learning 5__________ takes places while we are sleeping. If you have a
hard time falling asleep or if your sleep is 6___________ very often, try listening to
gentle music, or go to a completely silent room to sleep. 7___________ video games
and exciting TV shows in the hour before bedtime.
8____________ exposure to stress can also stop the brain from working at its best.
Some people can decrease stress 9_____________ by imagining a beautiful box.
