22、“Keep a sharp lookout,”Miller told Olden, a strong German dog, glancing toward the back seat. In the poor light, Miller could just make ou the badge (徽章) shining smartly from his partner’s collar. Suddenly the car’s headlights lit up a figure breaking the lock on the building, Miller shouted the order Go! In a flash, Olden jumped through the car’s open window and bit the suspect on the leg.
Over the next few months, Miller kept his relationship with Olden strictly professional. The dog was kept outside, regardless of the weather and the time. Sometimes during storms, Olden would stick his nose out of his doghouse and bark at the back door. Miller pretended not to hear. To test Olden’s discipline, he’d give him the order Stay“ and then he’d leave. When he returned, Olden was still glued to the spot where he had left him.

One afternoon, just after Miller and Olden began their shift, an urgent call came. As Miller rushed to the spot, the suspect Steve ‘s car sped away. Miller ran after Steve at a full speed.

23、It can be incredibly difficult to inspire ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but also could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental wellbeing, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction times in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run will really make us feel better, potentially more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
【1】What did the new research find?
A.Running fast benefits all of us.
B.Running is the best exercise.
C.A short time run can be beneficial.
D.A healthy mind inspires us to run.
【2】How did the researchers get the result?
A.By using different drugs.
B.By taking some word tests.
C.By collecting the former information.
D.By doing experiments and comparisons.
【3】Which is related to our happiness according to the passage?
A.Cycling.
B.Medicine.
C.Blood flow.
D.Colors.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.We should go for a run in winter.
B.Running benefits us physically and mentally.
C.We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D.Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
