21、Exercise for a Better Brain

Most of the time, your brain is the boss of your muscles --directing how you hit a ball, play the piano, or open a cereal box. 【1】 When you’re active, they send chemical signals telling your brain, “Hey, it’s time to grow!” Recent research suggests physical activity has multiple brain benefits, encouraging the birth and growth of new brain cells that supply oxygen and blood sugar to brain cells.

In a 2016 National Institute on Aging study, people who ran on a treadmill for 45 minutes three days a week boosted their levels of a brain-derived neurotropic (神经营养的) factor, a chemical that acts like fertilizer for new brain cells. 【2】

Without exercise, Suzuki says, “little baby neurons don’t get bigger and make thousands of new connections to other brain cells. With exercise, you get fully functioning adult brain cells.” Studies suggest that in younger adults, this can add to the overall number of cells in the hippocampus(海马体). 【3】 It’s a good deal. “There’s evidence these new brain cells are very active,” she says. “They’re excitable like teenagers. They get involved in more memory circuits than older cells do. You get more connections.”

【4】 If you’re inactive, a stroll around the block may be all it takes to encourage neuroplasticity, she says. And every bit counts. In a 2019 Boston University study of 2354 adults in their 40s through 60s, sedentary people who boosted their daily walking by 7500 steps or more had bigger brains than those who didn’t exercise -- equivalent to 1.4 to 2.2 fewer years of brain aging. The more light activity study participants logged, such as doing housework, shopping, gardening, or walking the dog, the greater the overall size of their brains.

A．Again, a little goes a long way.

B．Tips have been offered as to how to properly exercise.

C．After four months of workouts, their scores improved on a memory test.

D．Studies have suggested that dying cells and brain waste can be cleared with enough exercise on a regular basis.

E．But when it comes to growing new brain cells, more and more research shows that when you exercise, your muscles take charge.

F．And once age-related brain changes begin, starting in our 30s, exercise helps keep brain cells alive longer and replaces old cells with new ones.

22、Unlike chemists and physicists, who usually do their experiments using machines, biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats. But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves – all in the name of science, reported The Telegraph.

1. Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956)

Forssmann was a German scientist. He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery.

Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.

Not giving up, Forssmann decided to experiment on himself. He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 centimeters into his vein (静脉). He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart.

2. Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005)

Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid. But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called Helicobacter pylori.

So he teamed up with his colleague, Barry Marshall, to continue the study. When their request to experiment on patients was denied, Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each morning – he indeed had gastritis.

3. Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)

This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell. He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.

Steinman knew he couldn’t yet use his method to treat patients. So in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity.

With the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法). Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.

【1】The passage is mainly about _________.

A. some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners did on themselves

B. difficulties that scientists went through in order to make important discoveries

C. the reasons why some scientists chose to experiment on themselves

D. three Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A. Forssmann’s experiment ended in failure.

B. Forssmann managed to do his experiment on different kinds of animals.

C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.

D. Barry Marshall’s experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors’ belief about gastritis was correct.

【3】From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman _________.

A. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cell

B. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himself

C. knew that he himself would have cancer and die from it

D. believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancer

24、The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment' sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world-Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw（取出） and deposit（存入） books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.

In 2009. Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. "I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other," Bol said.  .

Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little FreeLibrary.org, there are now 18,000 0f the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little, structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads . The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries' main appeal.  "A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life," says the Atlantic article.  "Every book is a potential source of inspiration "

【1】How do Little Free Libraries get their books?

A. Citizens shared them.

B. Tod Bol donated them.

C. US government provided them.

D. The communities bought them.

【2】Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?

A. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.

B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.

C. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.

D. They are a gift to please his mother.

【3】What does the author of the Atlantic article believe?

A. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.

B. Little Free Libraries are physical and human.

C. E-reader downloads are undoubtedly beneficial.

D. Little Free Libraries are more popular than e-reader downloads.

【4】Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that ______.

A. they connect strangers together

B. they are located all over the world

C. they are in various shapes and sizes

D. they may give readers a sense of discovery
