19、ed Little Annie could recover, if she was shown love.Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they witnessed anger and coldness they noted gentleness and love.

27、st. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element.

29、new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school.

34、 found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the ag

In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”, and this study suggests tha
36、t activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression.
