And anyone who has

12、 tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills

13、draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).One of the studys authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cuttin

14、g music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch p

15、lays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie，the

16、 volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings:squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to t

17、he Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1、When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find _.Ahe has a difficult time learning music at the same timeBhe has an eas

21、s in a section of the brain that is important for memory, according to a recent study by UCLA researchers of middle-aged and older adults.Studies show that too much sitting, like smoking, increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Researchers at UCLA want to see how sedentary

22、 behavior (sitting for long periods of time) influences the health of the brain, especially regions of the brain that are important to memory formation.UCLA researchers gathered 35 people aged 45 to 75 and asked about their physical activity levels and the average number of hours per day they spent

23、sitting over the previous work. Each person had a high-resolution MRI (热分辨磁共振成像)scan, which provides a detailed look at the medial temporal lobe, or MTL, a bruin region involved in the formation of new memories.The researchers found that sedentary behavior is an important predictor of thinning of th

In addition, the researchers focused on the hours spent sitting, but did not ask participants if they took breaks during this time.The researchers next hope to follow a group of people for a longer duration to determine if sitting cause the tinning and what role gender (性別), race, and wei

David Brunelli has just swallowed a huge burger. The crowd cheers excitedly as he downs fistfuls of fries.Welcome to t

30、he world of competitive eating.Brunelli is part of a select group who compete to eat massive quantities of food as quickly as possible. Eating contests may seem like harmless fun, but they have a dark side and some critics are saying its time for them to stop.Pouring crazy amounts of food down our t

31、hroats is nothing new. Gorging banquets (狼吞虎咽会) was a regular part of ancient Roman culture. In the 1800s, some New York City politicians settled bets through eating challenges. Pie-eating contests have been a Fourth of July tradition for more than a century.For supporters like Brunelli, though, eat

32、ing contests are more than a custom. They are a path to fortune.But prize money does nothing to reduce the health risks of competitive eating. Competitive eating can even be life-threatening. In 1991, a man in Virginia suffered a stroke (中风) after eating 38 eggs in 29 seconds; In Florida, in 2012, a

33、 man died shortly after winning an eating contest leading a group of doctors to call for a ban on eating contests.In any event, the risk to competitors is only part of the story. Nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and competitive eating sets a terrible example by encouraging overeating.

34、And in a world where 805 million people go hungry every day, downing ridiculous quantities of food for entertainment seems not just wasteful but also cruel.For now, though, it seems eating contests are here to stay. Last year, more than three million viewers watched Nathans Famous Hot Dog Eating Con
