25、through the book, my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my reviewLike any educational tool, it will succeed for some and not for othersI suppose there should be more of the former41Where do you think this passage is take

28、 as walking, can reduce the risk of diabetes （糖尿病） in people whose blood sugar is starting to riseThat outcome was shown in a large studyDespite trying hard, those who dieted and worked out lost very little weightBut they did manage to maintain a regular walking program, and fewer of them went on to
29、 develop diabetesExercise also may reduce the risk of heart diseaseThere seems to be some effect: Most of the heart protection appears to be realized by walking regularlyMore intense exercise has been shown to provide only slightly greater benefitsActive people are much less likely to smoke; theyre
30、thinner and they eat differently than people who are less activeThey also tend to be more educated, and education is one of the strongest predictors of good health in general and a longer lifeAs a result, it is impossible to know with confidence whether exercise prevents heart disease or whether peo
31、ple who are less likely to get heart disease are also more likely to be exercisingStill, in rigorous studies in which elderly people were assigned either to exercise or maintain their normal routine, the exercisers were less likely to fall, perhaps because they got stronger or developed better balan
32、ceExercise may prevent broken bonesbut only indirectlyAnd what about weight loss? Lifting weights builds muscles but will not make you burn more caloriesJack Wilmore, an exercise physiologist at Texas A & M University, calculated that the average amount of muscle that men gained after a serious 12-w
33、eek weight-lifting program was 2 kilograms, or 44 poundsThat added muscle would increase the metabolic rate （代谢率） by only 24 calories a dayExercise alone, in the absence of weight loss, has not been shown to reduce blood pressureNor does it make much difference in cholesterol （胆固醇） levelsWeight loss
34、 can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but if you want to lose weight, you have to diet as well as exerciseExercise alone has not been shown to bring sustained weight lossJust ask Steven Blair, an exercise researcher at the University of South CarolinaHe runs every day and even runs marat
35、honsBut, he adds, “I was short, fat and bald when I started running, and Im still short, fat and baldWeight control is difficult for meI fight the losing battle”The difficulty, DrBlair says, is that its much easier to eat 1,000 calories than to burn off 1,000 calories with exerciseAs he relates, “An
36、 old football coach used to say, I have all my assistants running five miles a day, but they eat 10 miles a day”45In the case of Steven Blair, running does _ to his weight controlAlittleBmuchCgoodDharm46The last paragraph of the text tells us that the problem is that people tend to _?Aburn off 1,000

39、s will help them remember facts might want to get some sleep insteadThats the message from a new study that finds that as you sleep, the mind consolidates the things you learn during the dayStudy participants who learned how to play a video game in the morning or evening did a better job the next da
40、y after a nights rest, apparently because their brains were actively absorbing what theyd learned as they sleptThe finding shows that sleep is not just a passive state when no information is coming in, said Howard Nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of ChicagoFor the study, the rese
41、archers recruited 200 college studentsMost of them werent very familiar with playing video gamesSome of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while others learned in the eveningThe researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours laterThose
42、 who took part in the morning training sessions showed an average eight-percentage-point improvement in their performance immediately after trainingThey performed more poorlyscoring four percentage points better12 hours laterBut they scored 10 percentage points better the next morningIf we train you
43、 in the morning and come back at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned, Nusbaum saidBut if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you learned The students who took part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after be
44、ing trainedThe role that dreams play in the learning processif anyisnt clearBut some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, Nusbaum saidIf you play a video game a lot, and youre playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learnJerry Siegel, professor at the Center for Sleep Re
45、search at the University of Calfornia, Los Angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but hes not convinced that sleep itself actively contributes to learningIf you take a break for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a
46、 new learning session than it was at the end of the initial session, he saidNo sleep needs to occur for this to happen Still, Siegel suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucialFor long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the l

49、h of the following statements is true according to the passage? ATraining in the morning showed better results at onceBLearning wont occur during sleeping without dreamsCSleeping well helps to absorb what one learnedDStudying all night helps to remember more factsDAn analysis of studies in 40 countr
50、ies around the globe proves a long-standing assumption that the more a person knows about science, the more he or she tends to support scientific effortsIn fact, studies that have tested the link between a persons level of scientific knowledge and attitudes towards the field have generated mixed res
51、ultsIts been a very hard question, says sociologist Nick Allum of the University of Surrey in Guildford, UKTo resolve the issue, Allum and his colleagues pulled together the results of nearly 200 surveys carried out between 1998 and 2003 in countries from Australia to BulgariaThese studies assessed,
52、 for example, whether participants knew certain scientific facts and whether they supported developments in genetically modified food or nanotechnologyTo some extent, the results prove the belief widely held by science supporters: the more people know about science, the more favourably they tend to
53、view it, in spite of other factors such as age, nationality and level of educationAllum presented his results at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC last weekBut now this question is cleared up, researchers must begin to deal with more pressing que
54、stions, Allum saysThe argument should move onHis finding cannot, for example, show whether better science education will increase general support for the fieldThis is because researchers have yet to figure out whether people who learn more about science then tend to like it or, on the contrary, whet
55、her people who already like and support science are simply tend to learn further factsAnd a persons level of scientific knowledge actually goes a very tiny way towards explaining their attitudes towards scienceAllum believes that there are probably far more important factors, such as their moral val
56、ues, religious beliefs and political leaningAnd peoples trust in science may be influenced by how tightly regulated they believe the process to be in their countryThis might explain, in part, why those living in different countries tend to hold different attitudes: Europeans tend to be more doubtful
57、 of genetically modified crops than those in the United States, for exampleFinally, science lovers hope to strengthen support for the field, but it looks as if simple science education will not be enoughAs Allum says: Its all horribly complicated53In Allums opinion, _ will have little influence on a
