Researchers and doctors have been studying Alzheimers patients for a century. Yet the cause and cure for the mental sickness are still unknown. However, some
37、 researchers have made important steps towards understanding it. Several early signs of the disease involve memory and thought processes. At first, patients have trouble remembering little things. Later, they have trouble remembering more important things, such as the names of their children. There
38、are also some physical tests that might show who is at risk of developing Alzheimers disease. The tests look for proteins in brain and spinal cord fluid. The proteins appear to be found only in people with the disease. The protein tests correctly identify the presence of the disease in about ninety
39、percent of patients. Now, a much simpler physical test to predict Alzheimers risk has been developed. Researchers found that trouble with the sense of smell can be one of the first signs of Alzheimers. Using this information, they developed a test in which people were asked to identify twelve famili
40、ar smells. These smells included cinnamon, black pepper, chocolate, paint thinner, and smoke.The study continued for five years. During this period, the same people were asked to take several tests measuring their memory and thought abilities. Fifty percent of those who could not identify at least f

Another study has shown a possible way to reduce a persons chances of developing Alzheimers disease in old age. Researchers in Chicago found that people who use their brains more often are less lik

50、d he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African Amer
51、ican winners.“It was all right with me, ”he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either.

He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs. “Sure, it bothered me, ”he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.” In time,
53、 however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years, ”he once said. “Time has stood still for me.
