Ways to make your brain smarter

让自己的大脑变得更聪明

Make Simple Changes

改变习惯

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

人们都喜欢按常规办事，都有各自的兴趣爱好与娱乐方式，而且可以几个小时不间断。

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

但是人们习惯性动作越多，大脑参与的活动就越少。

To really help your brain stay young, challenge it.

为了让大脑保持青春状态就要剌激它。

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

改变去副食店的路线，改用另一只手开门，吃饭时改为先吃餐后吃的甜点与水果。

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

所有这些都会把大脑从习惯中唤醒，重新充满活力。

【知识点讲解】

pay attention 注意； 集中注意力

例句：

Now pay attention its brand please.

现在请注意它的商标。
