Have a Good Think
You want to keep young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are getting old soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa at Tokyo National University wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down. With a team of researcher, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and different jobs.
Computer technology enabled the researched to get most exact measurements ofthe volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feeing, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.
Contraction of front and side parts----as cells die off----seen in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty----and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction----using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. “Those with least possibility,” said Matsuzawa, “are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as likely to have contracting brain as farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants”.

阅读理解题)阅读理解 Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Center for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet. In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts; for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小香饼) . Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. “Exercise by itself a very tough way to lose weight,” says York Onnen, program director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. (1). (单选题) What is said about the average American in the passage? (本题1.5分) A、 They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of “light” beer. B、 They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight. C、 They prefer “light” beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food. D、 They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.

C、 One could maintain their new weight if there’s no increase in food intake D、 Controlling one’s calorie intake is more effective than doing exercise.

. (阅读理解题) 阅读理解 My Chocolate Last Thursday, after doing all the family shopping in the town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop—that cheap, self-service place with long tables to sit at.
