25、ovel is and youll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire.

Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn
26、t. After examining, researchers found the readers brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept
27、 this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after youve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards. It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a
