共用题干第三篇 Smart ExerciseDoctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.Judy Cameron,a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University,studies brain development.According to her research,it seems that exercise can make blood vessels,including those in the brain,stronger and more fully developed.Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says:"While we already know that exercise is good for the heart,exercise can literally cause physical changes in the brain."The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies.Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active.With babies,even a{ittle movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes , a pediatrician（儿科医师）,believes in the importance of exercise.She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses.They need to establish a connection between motion and memory.In this way,as they get older,children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning,"says Margaret. Older people can beef up their brains as well.Cornell University studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week.The exercise does not have to be very difficult,but it does have to increase the heart rate.Also,just like the motion for infants,exercise for older people should involve some complexity.Learning some new skills or motions helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not havebeen used for a long time.For most people,any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain's flow of blood.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week. Research by Dr.Cameron seems to suggest that exercise canA: generate new blood vessels. B:change the way a person thinks.C: promote brain development. D: divert one's attention.
共用题干第二篇Exercise and BrainJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs,bones and muscles,it may also power up the brain.A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning."It's clear that the brain benefits from exercise,"says brain scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity:Vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel,and skill-based ex-ercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists,may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment,laboratory rats were separated into three groups.One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel,a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course,and a third group was inactive."The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,"Greenough said."In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals."Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says.And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well,the benefits multiply.Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise,suggested another of Greenough's experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young.And while animals aren't people,he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information.Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults,aged 63 to 82,could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course.A corresponding control group that didn't exercise showed no improvement.Which statement is correct according to the passage?A:The effect of exercises found in rats can not apply to people.B:Changes in the brain occurred among young rats are more significant than those among adult rats.C:Regular exercise can only improve the speed with which the older adults' brain processes information.D:The author encourages people do more skill-based exercise instead of vigorous physical exercise.

If you are writing or studying,it makes very much difference where the light comes from.People who use books and pens every day have to be especially careful about the way the light shines on their work.Every house gets its light either from daylight through the windows--which is the best to use--or from lamps or electricity;but whichever kind of light it is,the way it shines toward our book or work is a matter of great importance to the eyes.Take a book,sit with your back toward the window,and try to read.Your shadow（影子）falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room.Now turnaround and face the window.The page is in the shadow again,while the bright light is in your eyes.Try sitting with your right side toward the window.This is very well for reading,but if you were writing,the shadow of your hand would fall across the page and bother（打搅）you a little.There is just one other way:sit with your left side to the window.Now everything is perfect for reading and for writing,too.Whatever kind of light is in the room,the rule about the right to sit is always the same.Which of the following is true?A.How the light shines on our work is of much importance.B.The way the light shines on your work makes no difference.C.We needn't care about where the light comes from.D.People can write or study under a light that comes from any direction.
