Walking backwards might be a way to solve this problem. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backward- walking group got two more.answers correct on average than the other groups.This suggests that the relationship between the concepts(概念）of time and space is important considering how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed via(通过）space,”Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told The Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different way compared to walking forward. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can ameliorate our health, according to New Scientist, Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could.be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the Unegon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱）strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.33 .

As we boarded the plane, we felt as if we were part of a wealthy group. Sitting with those important people filled us with a sense of pride.We noticed that the stewardess (空姐) was working non-stop to make sure of the comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without being given an order. I thought she must love her job very much, since she gave each person such a big smile.As the stewardess passed our seats near the end of the flight, I looked up at her and said, Thank you and I hope you have a great night. She stopped with a look of disbelief on her face, and said: Excuse me? I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way. It seemed as if I had asked a question that she did not know how to answer. A little later, as we were getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me: Thank you very much, sir. Then she said quietly: You are the only passenger who has thanked me or said anything nice to me all night. I really appreciate your kindness.The sense of belonging to an elite (精英) group in first class disappeared as soon as I heard those words. We were reminded that without kindness, there would be no first-class flying.38 . After boarding the plane, The writer felt .AnervousBproudCscaredDuncomfortable39 .

Oh, we may ask: what makes a group intelligent? A groups IQ (智商), we might think, would be simply the average intelligence of the group members, or perhaps the intelligence of the smartest group member. But some scientists have found that this isnt so.A groups intelligence comes out from communications（交流） within the group. A groups intelligence can be calculated, and like the IQ grades of a single person, and it can predict the groups performance on lots of kinds of tasks perfectly. A single persons intelligence can be trained to develop, so can a groups intelligence. Here are some suggestions on how to guide the development of smart groups:Personally, you can choose group members carefully. The smartest groups are made of people who are good at reading each others social signs. And then its better for you to talk about the “how”. Groups who take the time to discuss how they will work together are more well-organized and successful.As a group member, it is also very important for you to share the information in the formal meetings. The members who just control the discussion or who stay away and dont say much make the intelligence of the group lower. But in the smart group, members connect directly with each other, not just with group leader. They always t
