I std behind the curtain, my hands shaking. As I listened t the crwd laugh at the hst’s jkes, I just thught why I believed I culd d that. Tw mnths earlier, I had signed up fr imprv（即兴表演）classes at a lcal theater, alng with fur ther graduate students.
When I first heard abut the imprv classes, I was trn. I feared getting n stage and perfrming in frnt f strangers. Hwever, I knew I wanted t wrk as a science cmmunicatr after finishing my Ph. D., s it seemed like the perfect pprtunity t imprve my cmmunicatin ability and gain cnfidence.
During ur first class, we learned the key cncept f imprv: “yes, and”. If smene says mnkeys are librarians, fr example, then mnkeys are librarians. We dn’t questin the lgic; we say “yes” and cntinue with the scene as if nthing is wrng. T d this well, we have t avid secnd-guessing urselves. Smetimes scenes g in unexpected directins. The best imprv happens when perfrmers stay pen t different pssibilities. Over time, I started t enjy ur classes. I als became better at listening and cmmunicating clearly in the mment.
That training was put t gd use when I was giving a lecture abut my science. An audience member surprised me with a questin that didn’t grw ut f the infrmatin I’d presented. Instead f getting cnfused, I used the “yes, and” methd, and it helped me find prper answers. Last year, I came acrss cnfusing data. Instead f getting discuraged, I kept explring the data and ended up discvering a new type f cell—ne that wasn’t behaving as expected. If I hadn’t stayed pen t the pssibility that the results were real, I wuld have missed ut n the mst exciting finding f my Ph. D. s far.

6．What is the key idea f imprv?
A．Acting in a clever way.B．Cmmunicating with thers.
C．Accepting thers’ ideas.D．Asking thers sme questins.

A．He failed in getting his dctr’s degree.
B．He was cnfident abut giving a speech.

Brn in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Ggh led a simple life in a small twn until the age f 16． He then left schl and jined a firm f art dealers in the large city f The Hague. He eventually realised that dealing with thers’ artwrk was nt his prfessin. His true lve was t becme an artist himself.
He devted much f his time t learning the fundamentals f drawing. Van Ggh believed that t becme a great painter, ne must first master the ability t draw. It was nly after he was cmfrtable in this area that he began t use il paints. That is when he develped a style and talent fr clur that made him ne f the mst respected artists f all time.
Van Ggh’s paintings are amazing representatins f his view f the wrld. The clurs jump ff the canvas（画布）, nt nly because f their brightness but als because f the brush strkes（笔触）. Van Ggh avided light, feathery strkes, which wuld prtray（描写）typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and ils t make layers that built the painting until it was almst three-dimensinal.
Perhaps ne f the mst memrable examples f Van Ggh’s use f clur and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls（打旋）acrss the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brushstrke creates the image f mvement. The Starry Night shws Van Ggh’s great ability t create a pwerful image with simple subjects.
Van Ggh spent nly the last ten years f his life painting. He is believed t have sld nly ne f the 900 paintings he created during thse years. Yet tday Van Ggh is cnsidered ne f the greatest artists f all time. His influence is evident; many painters mimic his style and use f clur. His artwrk can be fund in museums all ver the wrld and is valued in millins f dllars, an evidence fr Vincent Van Ggh’s talent.

Scientists are nw digging int precisely why exercise hlds s many benefits fr ur mental health and memry. The answer, studies say, lies in ur brain chemistry.
Each time yu wrk up a sweat, yur bdy releases feel-gd happy hrmnes（荷尔蒙）, including endrphins, dpamine and endcannabinids, the latter being respnsible fr the s-called runner’s high.

“It is amazing t cnsider hw mving ur bdies can heal ur minds,” says Heisz. Whether yu’re cycling, walking arund yur neighburhd r ding yga, getting sweaty is gd fr yur bdy and mind. T get the biggest verall health bst, the key is t zer in n sprts and activities yu enjy, s yu’ll keep ging back t them.
