12、er van Baal, who led the study. “But it makes sense. If you live longer, then your costs of the health system will be more.”The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up (累计) the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77

13、 years, and obese people lived about 80 years. Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore in the long run, the thin and healthy group spent about $ 417,000, from age 20 on. Smokers spent about $ 326,000 and obese people $ 371,000.“The result throws a bu

14、cket of cold water onto the idea, based on guesswork, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If were going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.“The benefits of obesity p

15、revention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost saving in tomorrows budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking

16、and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a higher chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people dont survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimers (早老性痴呆病) one day, they may survive longer and cos

We are not advising that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,” Baal said. “But they should do it for the right reasons.”1、Among middle-aged people, whose costs of the health system are the most?AThose who are heavy smokers.BThose who are overweight.CThose who are too thin.DThose who a

21、r. Leibovitz and writer Matthew Miller joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book, “Fortunate Sons.” The book says China sent one hundred and twenty boys from 1872 to 1875 to America to learn about developments that could help modernize their country.Mr. Leibovitz got the idea for

The goal was for them to return to China and help their country.The book says the boys received their

23、American training in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It must have been a very good education. Mr. Leibovitz says the first prime minister of the Chinese Republic completed this program. And so did the first engineer to build a large-scale railroad without foreign help. The same

24、was true of the fathers of Chinese education, diplomacy and the Navy.The book-writers had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. Their notebooks, Journals, letters and postcards were in English. Mr. Leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information fr

25、om events that took place long ago.The students returned to China after about nine years. They no longer spoke Mandarin (国语) well enough to answer questions.

35、set by Mother Nature. So its no wonder that brain-training programmeswhich typically focus on training our working memoryare a multibillion-dollar industry. But can this kind of training really make us smarter?Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the r

36、ight kind of practice. It consists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smart phones. Despite much research, there has so far been no agreement about its effectiveness. Some think that cognitive training increases a broad range of cognitive abilities, while others less optimistic.Yet we do

37、know that some cognitive skills, such as working memory and intelligence, tend to go together and are predictors of real-life skills such as work performance. Thus, training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non-cognitive skills. That is exactly the underly

38、ing hypothesis(假设)on which working-memory training is based.To test this hypothesis, we examined all the studies about working-memory training we could find with normally developing children: 26 experiments and 1,601 total participants. Children represent an ideal test group: during childhood, skill

39、s are still at the beginning of their development. Thus, cognitive training is more likely to succeed with children than adults.The results were very clear. Working-memory training did not show any effect on childrens fluid intelligence, a persons ability to solve new problems and adapt to new situa

40、tions. It didnt influence their academic achievement or other cognitive abilities, either. The only reliable effect was that children got better at what they trained to do. No more, no less. So performing working-memory tasks does seem to make you better at doing them. Nonetheless, the fact that par

41、ticipants got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that their working-memory ability increased. They may just have learnt how to perform that particular type of task.The results do indicate that the use of working-memory training programs as an educational tool is fruitless. More generally

42、, together with other research, the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies promises of a better brain.The results have even more important implications theoretically. They question the hypothesis that training general cognitive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real-lif

43、e skills. Beyond working-memory training, other recent studies have shown the improving cognitive skills outside music-including academic skills.However, these negative results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We just have to be aware of the actual limitat

44、ions of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training. But that doesnt mean we shouldnt do it-the most efficient way to develop a skill is, after all, to train that skill.1、To find out the effect of working memory training, the author _.Amade some scientific studiesBreviewed the previ

45、ous researchCcompared different test groupsDgot some children involved in the experiment2、Children joining in the experiments were able to _.Ado better in the field where they are trainedBobtain greater academic achievementsCadjust to new situations quicklyDsucceed when they deal with real life prob
