Sometimes a great number of them knocked down a man or woman walking home at night. The rats were very large and they harmed many people.The Government(政府) ordered everybody to kill rats. Most people were very lazy, so they did not kill them. Then the Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat. That made people very happy. A Government officer put all the dead rats in a big pile. Sometimes a man brought hundreds in a day.After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought rats to the Government officer.

We invent chocolate-chip cookie diets to make us thin while eating fat. We wish to get fit from doing nothing. We wish to lie in bed, think about going to the gym and then, get the body of a Greek god.A new study from Brian Clark at Ohio University shows that sitting still, while just thinking about exercise, might make us stronger. Clark and his colleagues asked 29 volunteers and wrapped their wrists in surgical casts for a whole month. During this month, half of the volunteers thought about exercising their immobilized (使不动)wrists. For 11 minutes a day, 5 days a week, they sat completely still and focused their entire mental effort on pretending to flex their muscles. When the casts were removed, the volunteers that did mental exercises had wrist muscles that were two times stronger than those who had done nothing at all.The idea behind the research is not a new concept-just a concept thats often neglected in the field of neuroscience(神经科学): our bodies and our brains develop together. Even though we treat our mind and bodies as two separate things(brain vs brawn; mind vs matter), they are finally and closely connected.Indeed, even before Brian Clark published his study, other researchers had explained links between the brain and the muscles. Ten years ago, Guang Yue at the Cleveland Clinic reported that imaginary exercise increases the strength of finger muscles by up to 35%. Just five years ago, Kai Miller at the University of Washington, showed that imaginary exercise activates the same brain areas that are activated during real exercise. Brain Clarks research adds to this body of knowledge and provides believable facts about the role of neuromuscular(神经肌肉的) pathways in strength training.33 .

Which of the following concepts is often neglected according to the passage?AOur mind and bodies are two separate thingsBOur bodies and brains develop togetherCOur mind has a close relation to bodiesDOur mind has little effect on our brains36 . Whats the best title for the passage?AHow to grow stronger without lifting weights.BHow to carry out a muscle exercise program.CHow to prevent muscle from growing thinner.DHow to provide pathways in strength training,It was Sunday and Tom was staying at home.
