And the more often you get that culture, the better the results are, a new study suggests.Researchers from University College London( UCL) did the research on more than 6 000 adults in England age 50 years and older. How often an individual engaged in art activities was measured at the start of the study in 2004 to 2005. Participants were then followed up for an average of 12 years, during which time deaths were recorded using data from the UKs National Health Service( NHS). They found that people who engaged in the arts more frequently had a 31% lower risk of dying early when compared to those didnt. Even going to the theater or museum once or twice a year was linked with a 14% lower risk.The study looked at a range of economic , health and social factors to try and explain why there is a link between“ arts engagement and living longer. Part of the reason, the study said, comes down to social and economic differences among those who go and dont go to museums , exhibitions and art galleries. Wealth,they found, explained about 9% of the association. Cognitive( 认知的) differences and mental health also played a role.“Things like free time and occupational status made no difference, said Fancourt.Engaging with the arts can act as a buffer against stress and build creativity that allows people to adapt to changing circumstances. It also helps people access emotional support and information that helps people age more successfully.“ We also thought that a greater sense of purpose could play a role, she said.“It can have wide ranging benefits and support healthier lives lived longer. ”A world health organization last year found that both receptive participation, like visiting a museum, and active participation, like singing in a choir, had health benefits. An editorial that accompanied the paper said that everyone should have the chance to take part in cultural activities and said the study added weight to growing concerns about the decline in arts subjects in schools and universities.24.What was the right step of the experiment?A. Following the participants for 12 years.B. Recording the participants death time.C. Comparing the frequency of art activities.D. Dividing the participants into two groups.25.What has nothing to do with the relationship between“arts engagement”and living longer?A. Wealth. B. Cognition. C. Occupation. D. Mental health.26.What does the underlined word “buffer in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Battle. B. Barrier. C. Defence. D. Relief.CGoogle has expanded on its digital ell-being project with a paper envelope designed to hide your smart phone. Developed by London-based design studio, Special Projects, the envelope intends to give users a break from the digital world by transforming their phone into a simpler device.The special projects limit a smart phones function. One side of the envelope turns your phone into a very basic device which can only make and receive calls, while the other turns your phone into a photo and video camera with no screen. Printed buttons skillfully light up, allowing the user to dial or take photographs. The intention was to create a calm but magical user interface( 界面) that can be downloaded and printed out at home. The envelopes currently only support the Google pixel 3a and can be downloaded from the app on the play store with the code(代码) also available on Github.The studio explains, “We wanted to create a more accessible version of this， which would enable people to try a day without a phone without committing to purchasing a new device.” “We explored the idea of making the envelope more lasting, out of materials like Tyvek but we felt that this would be a temporary product, not used forever, Special Projects Group adds.Google also promoted Bubbles app, which has been designed to help users discover what their phone usage looks like. Each time you unlock your phone, a new bubble( 气泡) will be added to your wallpaper. The more you unlock and use your phone, the bigger the bubbles grow. Other well-being experiments include a screen stopwatch to show you how long you use your phone for each day.27.Why is the envelope designed?A. To keep mobile phones clean.B.
