Dg wners walked abut 23 minutes lnger each day than nn-dg wners. In a new study, dg wners tk 2,760 additinal steps—cmpared t peple wh didn’t have a dg at hme. But here’s the real gd news: That extra exercise was dne at a mderate（适度的）pace, which means it culd help adults meet their recmmended weekly ttals fr physical activity.
The research, published in BMC Public Health, fcused n adults 65 and lder, wh tend t be less active than yunger peple. The study included 43 dg wners and 43 nn-dg wners, all f whm were mnitred cntinuusly fr three week-lng perids. When they cmpared the tw grups, the researchers fund that dg wnership was assciated with a large, ptentially health-imprving effect.
Dg wners walked abut 23 minutes lnger each day than nn-dg wners, 119 minutes versus 96 minutes n average. They als tk an additinal 2,760 steps, and had eight fewer cntinuus perids f sitting dwn.

Here at Health, we’ ll add that caring fr pets has been shwn t have plenty f ther physical and mental health benefits, as well. As animal lvers urselves, we’ re happy t add ne mre t the list.
28. What can we learn abut the research?

Plants are vital t human survival, even when there’s n sunlight. But keeping yur huseplants alive in windw-less rms r in shadwy crners can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways t help yur plants stay energetic, even when their sunny surce f energy is limited.
Grw lights prvide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim r black spaces. These specialized beams (光线) have different features, clrs, and prices. LEDs, fr instance, are the cheapest and mst energy-efficient ptin.
While mst devices stick t a warm white light, plants respnd differently t varius illuminating clrs. Scientist Levine has made tw creative experiments. Under gravity, red light wrked well fr the slim flwering plants Arabidpsis (拟南芥). But in the weightless envirnment, they stretched int funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually fund a middle grund and put the plants in green light.
If electricity is a limiting factr, yu can try t reflect light with mirrrs. Even brightening up yur space with white decratins, like a light-clred tableclth, will cast a little glw ver yur plants. While it’s nt cmparable t using a grw light r the sun, it culd ffer plants extra pwer.
Sme plants, including tmates, need mre light than thse like Arabidpsis; new seedling s need less light than fully-grw n plants. As yu chse yur seeds and seedlings, research their native ranges t learn hw much sunshine they’d naturally get.
Plants are finally adaptable. They can stretch their stems tward available light surces r prduce extra chlrphyll (叶绿素), which absrbs available cld light. Even thugh they may nt be getting all the light that they wuld like fr ptimum (最适宜的) grwth, they’ll still grw. With nly a little extra help, yu and yur plants can vercme the darkness.
32．What is the purpse f using grw lights?
A．T change the clr f the plants.
B．T prvide an energy bst in dim spaces.
C．T create a decrative effect in the rm.
D．T help plants grw in weightless envirnments.
33．What did Levine discver abut the effect f different light clrs in experiments?
A．Plants grew best under red lights withut gravity.
B．Blue lights caused plants t grw funny shapes.
C．Green lights were the best chice fr plants withut gravity.
D．Plants preferred warm white lights in all situatins.
34．Hw can yu help plants get extra energy withut using electricity?
A．By putting the metal in the sil.B．By adding mre fertilizer t their sil.
C．By decrating sme reflective bjects.D．By puring sme chemical liquid.
35．Wh is the passage written fr?
A．Plant scientists and researchers.
