Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development According to some research it seems that exercise can make blood vessels including those in the brain stronger and more fully developed The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active Margaret Barnes a pediatrician believes in the importance of exercise 82 She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies In studies with seniors research has shown that exercise helps older people as

have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs These are two important questions that many people are asking today Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time 83 They suggest using garbage as an energy source and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land Now empty land is scarce But more and more garbage is produced each year However garbage can be a good fuel to use 本试卷共 8 页 2010 年陕西省专升本英语试题 当前第 5 页 The things do not look like coal petroleum or natural gas but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels As we use up our fossil fuel supplies we might be able to use garbage as an energy source Buring garbage is not a new idea Some cities in Europe and the United States have been buring garbage for years The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings In Pairs France some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city s garbage each year The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by buring almost a half million barrels of oil But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel Garbage that burns easily such as food scraps 碎屑 and paper must be separated from metals glass and other materials that do not burn easily This separation process is normally costly Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air Our fossil fuel supplies are limited Buring garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth 51 What two problems can man solve by burning problem A The shortage of energy
