Walking to Exercise the Brain Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve

Walking to Exercise the Brain

Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve students' grades？ Think again．Getting some exercise may help，too．

New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn't exercise．

Previous research had shown that mice learn，remember，and pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel．Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don't．Their brain cells also make more connections．

Neuroscientists(神经科学家)from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true for people．First，they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults，ages 58 to 77，after each person walked 1 mile．Then，participants looked at arrows on a computer screen and had to use computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing．

Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task，and their answers were just as accurate as their less-fit peers，the researchers found．The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions．

In a second study，15 elderly people who completed a 6-month aerobic-training(有氧运动)course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning(韵律操)exercises for the same amount of time.

So，even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help．That should be good news for the elderly．

The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven't been studied yet．Still，it can't hurt to take occasional breaks and go for a walk or run around with friends．Whatever you do，though，don't try to read and walk at the same time．You could end up hurting yourself!

Walking regularly helps elderly people______．

A．lose weight．

B．become happier．

C．concentrate better．

D．look younger．

WASHINGTON--Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for French t

eenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.

"We have many children left to place: 40 out of 75," said Straub, who works for a Paris-based foreign-exchange program called LEC.

When exchange programs started 50 years ago, family life was more accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed home.

But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student program have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who annually come from abroad to spend an academic year in the US, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmers.

School systems in many parts of the US, unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(异国情调的).

In searching for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programs are increasingly broadening their appeals to include everyone from young couples to retires.

"We are open to many different types of families," said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old program that sends about 30, 000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programs worldwide.

For elderly people, exchange students" keep us young-they really," said Jean Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Porst from Denmark.

Foreign teenagers come to American families with the purpose of ______.

A．finding their parents in America

B．Finding good jobs in America

C．learning the culture of America

D．enjoying the life of America

Extract 1 In any relationship the worst pitfall is possessiveness. You must never thi

nk you own the other person just because you are their parent, their marriage partner or you pay them to work for you. You must accept that they will always be themselves and that nothing you can do will alter this fact. You can give advice if it is asked for but you should never impose it. People usually only ask for advice that they hope to find palatable. Phrases such as "Youll be making a great mistake if ...", or "Of course, if I were you Id ..." suggest criticism, even censure. The important thing to remember is that it is another person and not you who is making the decision. Extract 2 Some times when you are being considered for a job you may be asked to take a personality test. This means that your prospective employer is trying to assess what kind of person you are, whether you can work well under stress, how you express yourself and, most important, how you get on with other people. Part of a personality test may take the form. of a group discussion or role-play. Here it is important not to try to impose your views on the other members of the group, to avoid getting argumentative or start talking about something totally irrelevant. There is no reason why you cant say what you think, so long as you say it pleasantly and do not totally rule out any opinion which differs from your own. Extract 3 Any relationship with children must be based on truth and dignity. Children are not impressed by adults who are trying to impress them and they resent being talked down to or treated by strangers as some form. of household pet to be rewarded for good behavior. and punished for misdemeanors. Children should be treated as people in their own right. This is probably why the relationship between children and the very old is often so successful. Elderly people often find themselves being treated in much the same way as children and equally resent it. Questions:

According to Dr. Mead, the attitude of beings from outer space towards us is one of______.

A．unfriendliness

B．suspicion

C．superiority

D．hostility
