But are they more likely to be fit?A study found that gym members were 14 times more active th
11、an people who didnt belong to any health club. Gym members did six hours more exercise a week, and this activity did make them fitter than non-gym members. They also spent less time sitting down every day than non-gym members. The results were the same for men and women.The study included 405 people
12、 between the ages of 30 and 64, and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. But gym members did more training than non-gym members, said the lead author, Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.While it might seem clear that gym members e
13、xercising more are healthier than non-members, Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before. However, the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise. It may be that active people like to join gyms. In the study, people who exercised as much as gym members
14、 were also in good health.You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise. This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise, but other research shows that exercising outside has other help. Outdoor activities can make you feel happy about lifeespecially if you run through a forest
15、.Outdoor exercise is also more enjoyable than going to the gym. The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good. But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.21.What did the new study find out?A.Gym mem
16、bers had healthier eating habits.B.There were fewer women gym members than men.C.Gym members did at least eight hours of exercise a week.D.Gym members were more active than non-gym members.22.In the study, researchers studied _.A.some sports loversB.405 gym membersC.people from different age groupsD
17、.30 gym members and 64 non-gym members23.Which of the following will Elizabeth Schroeder agree with?A.Women should do more gym exercise.B.We should be careful with outdoor training.C.Outdoor exercise is better than gym exercise.D.It is easier to keep exercising if you go to the gym.B A typical child
18、 plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University.Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah
19、 Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupingsa behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.In a series of experiments
20、, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities，such as son，daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes，such as a mouth，arms and legs
21、. All the children then needed to handle a few tasksChildren who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high up in a tree，these children had more creative ideas for how t
22、he bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, t
23、hey suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children，meanwhile, primarily grouped peoples faces by race and gender(性别).The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable
24、for teachers. Gaither said.“We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time，” Gaither said. “When kids think that they have various identities，they show greater abilities. 24.What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments?A.Pl
25、ay different kinds of roles.B.Remind others of their roles.C.Approach several tasks.D.Classify a group of tasks.25.How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4?A.By giving examples.B.By using experts words.C.By listing a few figures.D.By showing cause and effect.26.
26、What can we learn from Sarah Gaithers words?A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching.B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles.C.Kids creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop.D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids flexi
27、bility.27.What is the best title for the text?A.Kids Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their EducationB.Considering Their Various Roles Improves Kids AbilitiesC.Kids Have a Variety of Identities in Their Daily Life.D.Problem-solving Ability Is Necessary for Most Kids.C Here are two interesting q
28、uestions. Are you very happy with your life now ? Are people happier as they get older?A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.The finding came from a G
29、allup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 an
30、d 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and wo
31、men had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not
32、affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.The origina
33、l goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.28.When will adults
34、feel most stressful according to the study?A.In their seventies.B.In their fifties.C.In their twenties.D.In their eighties.29.What may make Arthur Stone feel a bit surprised?A.Women usually live longer than men.B.Most of old people cant sleep well at night.C.Middle-age men mostly are very rich.D.Old

Experts recommend asking them to do small, simple a
37、ctions on a regular basis with the help of parents. Maybe they open their bags and bring their lunch bag to the kitchen, or take their shoes off at the door and put them in a nearby closet. These wont save parents much time, but they will help develop good habits.When kids enter primary school, they
38、 should be ready for more responsibility. This is the time to teach them about daily routines, and help them take control over theirs. Parents and children might sit down together and make a list of everything that needs to be done to get out of the house in the morning, or get ready for bed at nigh
39、t. Together, parents should figure out how long each activity takes, and when is the best time to do them. Some of the kids might want to get their bags ready and pick out their clothes the night before.Its also wise to create a firm schedule for homework. When do kids do their homework? How long do
40、 they need? Where do they do it? Where will the homework go once it is done? Figure them out and stick to the schedule as much as possible.Parents should print up these task lists and help kids finish them step by step. Kids might even check them off each morning or evening. Also, make sure there ar
41、e clocks in the rooms in which these tasks will take place. Time management is an important part of learning organization, but it cant be done if kids dont know what time it is.Organization gives kids the chance to make it possible to focus on a task and complete it. Kids tend to be more motivated t
42、o learn organization skills if they see organization as a challenge to overcome, rather than a fault to repair.32.Why are kids advised to do small and simple actions?A.To save parents time.B.To join a school organization.C.To form a good relationship with others.D.To help kids form good habits.33.Wh
