35、ter than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fied thresholds （槛）； what is good for the organism in large quantities is usu

36、ally good in smaller ones, too.The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute争议）.It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommendA say, a 10-minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have eercised for 10 mi

42、uder than words.D. Anything is better than nothing.cWe lie to thin that the human mind is special. One sign of our superiority is self-awareness, which is generally seen as the pea of consciousness.

But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror testa classic eperiment used to judge self-awareness in animals. What are we to mae of this?Admittedly the mirror test is a questionable way of probin

44、g （探究）the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal's lifestyle than to its brain sie. Self-awareness is liely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by t

51、s will be able to understand our thoughts.D. Self-awareness is a big mystery of the mind.DFor me, Christmas was always complicated. As a child, it was joyful, yet a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengal

52、i （孟加拉） father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration.To five-year-old me, the idea that someone might not love Christmas was unbelievable. It was years before I realised that my father s own childhood had been a Santa-free one. I was vaguely aware of theBengali equivalent （等同物

53、） to Christmas. Every September or October, airmail parcels would arrive, and ambitious plans were hatched to acquire syrupy cottage-cheese dumplings. But for me this was an addition to 25 December not a substitution.Matters were further complicated by my father5 s job. After going to medical school

54、 in olata, he had got a posting as a junior doctor at a hospital in Glasgow, where he met my mother 9 a nurse. （She gave up wor after having children.） He often had to wor on Christmas Day, which would mae Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to wor with Da

He had been in good health; nothing could have prepared us for such a loss. I have no memory of Christmas that year, ecept that it was the worst of

58、my life.During that period,one of the only things that ept me sane （理智的） was weely choir （唱诗班）practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir nows, Christmas is non-negotiable.So I dragged myself out on that freeing night. The lights were sparling; London had never looed so beautiful. I was totally lost in the music, so I started dancing, laughing and doing ja hands,
