。 . . During Christmas, there is a shop selling puddings that puts some delicious food on a row of shelves. You can choose what suits your taste best here, and you can even try it for free before you decide to buy it. I often wonder if there are some people who don't want to buy but are greedy for cheap. One day, I asked this question to the salesgirl, and it turned out that this was really the case.

5...Earlier scientists thought that during a man's lifetime the power of his brain decreased .But it is now thought that thisis not so .As long as t he brain is given plenty of esercise it kees its power.It has been found that an old person who has always been mentally active has a quicker mind than a young person who has done only physical work .It is now thought that the more work we five our brains ,the more work they are able to do .

。 . . Early scientists believed that the brain's ability showed a downward trend in a person's life. Now, this statement is not true. As long as the brain is fully exercised, its ability will not weaken. It has been found that the brains of old people who are always active are more agile than those of young people who are only engaged in manual work. The current view is that the more we use our brains, the more our brains can do.

Note: Queen Elizabeth II knighted him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth II knighted him with this sword.

To knight someone with something means "knighthood for someone with something". Something is only needed for knighthood ceremony, and it is not necessary to give something to the knighted person.
