17、art and lungs, bonesand muscles,it may also power up the brain. A succession ofscientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has apositive effect on mental functioning.Its clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” saysscientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois atUrb

18、ana-Champaign.His studies with rats have demonstratedtwo primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exerciseprovides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exerciseincreases the formation of connections in the brain, which,according to the proposals of some scientists, may make thebrain bette

19、r able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated intothree groups. One group was exercised by running inside anautomatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in acomplicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.The animals that learned to go through t

20、he obstaclecourse exhibited a greater numberof brain connections thanthe animals in the exercised or inactive groups,” Greenoughsaid. In contrast, the animals that exercised inside theautomatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vesselsin the brain than did either of the other two groups ofa

21、nimals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in thesame way that learning a language can, he says. And if thedance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply.Young brains may be especially able to boost brain powerthrough exercise, suggested another of Greenoughsexperiments

22、that showed the most significant changes in thebrain occurred among rats that had been exercised when veryyoung.And while animals t people, he says it is logical tomake the inference that an effect found in rats may also applyto humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults andsuggest

23、that regular exercise can improve the speed withwhich the brain processes information. Measurements madeby Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstratedthat inactive adults, aged 63 to 82,could hit buttons faster inresponse to a tone after they went through a 10-week waterexercise course.

35、age ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress andgolden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-gradeclassroom and greets her students: Salvete, omnes! (Hello,everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they arestudying derivatives. How many people are in a duet? Highasks. A

36、ll the kids know the answer, and when she asks howthey know, a boy responds, Because duo is two in Latin.High replies, Plaudite! and the 14 kids erupt in applause.They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct suchEnglish words as bilateral and quadrilateral. Latins going toopen up so many

37、doors for you, High says. Youre going tobe able to figure out the meaning of words youve never seenbefore.High teaches at Providence Elementary School in FairfaxCity, Va., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. Aspart of Virginias high-stakes testing program, schools thatdont boost th

38、eir scores by the year 2007 could lose statefunding.So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the WhiteHouse, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schoolswith new high-tech television studios, computer labs and onevery old feature-mandatory Latin.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive dev

39、elopmentsof the standardized-testing movement: Though some criticscomplain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessonsand teach to the test, some schools are offering morechallenging course work as a way of engaging students. In thepast three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stake

40、stesting states such as Texas, Virginia and Massachusetts haveadded Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of theFairfax City school board: If we re trying to improve Englishskills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method.This is not your fathers Latin, which was taught to elite

41、college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them throughmemorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almostdrove Latin from public schools. Todays growth in elementaryschool Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oralcurriculums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology andculture. One th

42、ing that makes it engaging for kids is thegoofy fun of investigating these guys in togas, says MarionPolsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program,the textbook used in Fairfax City.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn wordroots, they will be able to decipher unfamilia

43、r words. (By someestimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin isan almost purely phonetic language.There are no silent letters,and each letter represents a single sound.That makes it usefulin teaching reading. And once kids master the grammaticalstructure of Latin-which is simple, lo

44、gical andconsistent-they will more easily grasp the many grammaticalexceptions in English.51.From the first Paragraph we learn that _.A.the students show little interest in learning LatinB.the students say hello to their teacher in LatinC.
