A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“

18、Its clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” says brain scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: Vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with morn fuel, and skill-based exercise

19、increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information. In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a secon

20、d group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive. “The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in exercised or inactive groups,” Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals tha

21、t exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as we

22、ll, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenoughs experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young. And while animals arent people, he says

23、 it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans. Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of

24、 Illinois demonstated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise. A corresponding control group that didnt exercise showed no improvement.This boost in reaction time after exercise training may occur because de

25、clines associated with getting old could actually stem from declines in physical condition. Some scientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attributed to getting old may really be a penalty of neglecting to stay physically active, in addition to related factors such as medicines and

26、 poor diet. “In older people, an exercise program appears important for brain maintenance,” says Daniel M. Landers, professor of exercise science at Arizona State University, who recently published an article reviewing the scientific literature on activitys effect on the brain. Numerous studies show

27、 that children who engage in regular physical activity do better in school than their inactive classmates. But until recently, the academic edge gained by participating in sports was thought to come from the increased self-confidence, the better mood, and the ability to concentrate that comes from b

28、urning off steam in exercise. Now, however, some scientists have revised their way of thinking, and point to possible physical connections. Pierce J. Howard, another expert, says new research indicates that physical exercise increases the amount of certain brain chemicals that stimulate growth of ne

29、rve cells. Consequently, the brains of people who exercise may be better equipped to tackle mental challenges. Inactivity may also have negative effects on mind and body alike. “Scientists recognize that mind is body, and body is mind,” comments Howard. The most beneficial forms of exercise, he says

30、, engage both.B Choose the best answer to each of following questions.(24%)1 One positive effect of exercise is that it can _.A correct heart trouble B heal bones that have been brokenC fight lung disease D make the brain function better2 What special effect does skill-based exercise have on brain？A

31、 Providing more energy. B Learning to formation of more connections. C Msking part of the brain inactive.D Cleraing the brain of certain thoughts.3 While _ of rats showed a greater number of brain connections,_ had a greater density of blood vessels in the brain.A the first group;the third group B t

32、he second group; the third group C the first group; the seconf group D the second group; the first group4 One possible reason for scientists to make experiments with rats is that_.A rats benefit from the experments B the experiments can boost the brains of the rats C an effect found in rats may also

33、 apply to humans D animals and humans are very much alike5 Arthur Kramer, at the University of Illinois, conducted his research on_.A older people B human brain C rats D children6 According to measurements by Arthur Kramer, training can help in_.A increasing self-condifence B performing tasks such a
