9、One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men.” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die.” They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on dut

Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of

16、he way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits. Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked chil
17、drens IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.

25、ibute to this finding.”“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctors advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”For the study, Fle

The researchers looked at the participants (参与者) body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a persons height and weight.The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight,
27、 overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the fi
28、ndings showed.While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warmed that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. Willia
29、m, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesnt take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”12What did Flegals team do for their study?AThey interviewed almost 3 million adults.B.
