suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. judy cameron, a scientist at oregon health and science university, studies brain development. according to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. doctor cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. as she says, “ while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”the effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. babies who do activities that requires a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. even a little movement can show big results. margaret barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. she thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. they need to set up a connection between motion and memory. in this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says margaret.older people can develop their brains as well. cornell university studied a group of seniors who have a shortterm memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. the exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. for most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. the main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. and your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.1. what is the main idea of this passage?a. how exercise makes people strong.b. how to get good scores on a test.c. how exercise helps the brain.d. how the brain can change.

excuse for not listening to us.a recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with complex female tones. apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. however, when they listen to women its different story. they have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. so when a man tells you your voice is music to his ears, hes actually telling the truth, though not in a good way. im sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. those times when men havent listened to me, i just thought i was being ignored. i didnt realize i just wasnt singing their favorite music. if id realized i was being heard as music, i would have had a bit of fun with it. whenever i wanted a discussion, id have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections. it is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. isnt this slaves to biology all-purpose excuse wearing thin? its enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are -which part of the body will be beyond their control next. even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. thats the truth of the matter. male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloveds ears. but finally it will end up as boredom. when your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise. 1the author of this passage tries to _. a. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea b. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is c. give some advice on a common problem d. argue against a common belief 答案解析：答案为b。本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为b。2according to the new
