单选题Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve your 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 from the University 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 course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning 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 your grandparents.
The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven"t been studied yet. Still, it can"t hurt to take occasional study breaks and go for a walk or run around with your friends. You might even do better in school.
Whatever you do, though, don"t try to read and walk at the same time. You could end up hurting yourself!

Passage 4 In recent
years, many Americans of both sexes and various ages have become interested in
improving their bodies. They have become devoted to physical fitness. The need
to exercise has almost become compulsive with many persons who have a strong
desire to be more physically fit. By nature, Americans are
enthusiastic and energetic about their hobbies and pastimes. They apply this
enthusiasm, and energy to jogging/running. As a result, there are running clubs
to join and many books and magazines to read about running. The
desire to be physically fit is explained by a "passion" for good health. The
high rate of heart attacks in the 1960s caused an increase on the part of the
public in improving the human body. Middle-aged men especially
suffer from heart attacks. Thus, they are one group strongly interested in more
physical exercise. In fact, many doctors encourage their patients to become more
physically active, especially those who have sedentary jobs. It is interesting
to note that the rate of heart attacks began to decrease in the 1970s and it is
still decreasing. Physical fitness currently enjoys a favored
role in the United States. It is a new "love" that many Americans have
cherished. Will it last long? Only time will tell or until another "new passion"
comes along.

A man once said how useless it was to
put advertisements in the newspapers. "Last week," said he, "my umbrella was
stolen from a London Church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in
advertising, but didn't get it back." "How did you write your
advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant. "Here it
is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The
other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a
black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on
leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street. " "Now," said the merchant,
"I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an
advertisement is expressed is of great importance. Let us try for your umbrella
again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip
of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an
umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into
trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known."
This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished
when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of
all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number.
Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by
mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the
matter.

单选题{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}}
Traditionally, the study of history has
had fixed boundaries and focal points—perious, countries, dramatic events, and
great leaders. It has also had clear and firm notions of scholarly procedure:
how one inquires into a historical problem, how one presents and documents one's
findings, what constitutes admissible and adequate proof. Anyone
who has followed recent historical literature, can testify to the revolution
that is taking place in historical studies. The currently fashionable
subjetcs come directly from the sociology catalog: childhood, work, leisure. The
new subjects are accompanied by new methods. Where history once was primarily
narrative, it is now entirely analytic. The old questions "What happened?" and
"How did it happen?" have given way to the question "Why did it happen?"
Prominent among the methods used to answer the question "Why" is psychoanalysis,
and its use has given rise to psychohistory. Psychohistory does
not merely use psychological explanations in historical context. Historians have
always used such explanations when they were appropriate and when there was
sufficient evidence for them. But this practical use of psychology is not what
psychohistorians intend. They are committed not just to psychology in general,
but to Frendian psychoanalysis. This commitment precludes a commitment history
as historians have always understood it. Psychohistory derives its "facts" not
from history, the detailed records of events and their consequences, but from
psychoanalysis of the individuals who made history, and deduces its theories not
from this or that instance in their lives, but from a view of human nature that
transcends history. It denies the basic criterion of historical evidence that
evidence be publicly accessible to, and therefore assessable by, all historians.
And it violates the basic tenet of historical method: that historians be alert
to the negative instances that would refute their rightness of their theses.
Psychohisotrians, convinced of the absolute rightness of their own theories, are
also convinced that theirs is the "deepest" explanation of any event, that other
explanations fall short of the truth. Psychohistory is not
content to violate the discipline of history (in the sense of the proper mode of
studying and writing about the past); ii also violates the past itself. It
denies to the past an integrity and will of its own, in which people acted out
of a variety of motives and in which events had a multiplicity of causes and
effects. It imposes upon the past the same determinism that it imposes upon the
present, thus robbing people and events of their individuality and of their
complexity, Instead of respecting the particularity of the past, it
assimilates all events, past and present, into a single deterministic schema
that is presumed to be true at all times and in all circum
stances.
