The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate to higher-intensity physical activity each week, and it should be in ____21____ of at least 10 minutes each for substantial health benefits, which has led many to ____22____ about the inefficacy of brief activities. Why people take two minutes going up the stairs if more than 10 minutes is ____23____ to make it worthwhile for health?
But now a study suggests something else: go ahead, take the stairs! Every minute ____24____ toward reaching the 150-minute goal, whether it’s part of a 10-minute period of activity or not. The purpose of the study conducted at the University of Utah was to see if moderate to vigorous physical activity in less than 10-minute episodes was ____25____ to weight outcomes. The study, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, found that each minute spent ____26____ in some kind of moderate to vigorous physical activity — be it walking the dog, vacuuming, or taking the stairs — was associated with lower BMI and lower weight.
“The idea here is, you can do a minute at a time and that’s not a problem,” Jessie Fan, lead author of the new paper and a family and consumer studies professor at the University of Utah, told Today.
For the women who participated in the study, each minute spent in higher-intensity activity was associated with a 0.7 drop in body mass index (BMI). For a 5'4" woman, that means a ____27____ of nearly half a pound, which may not sound like much, but that’s just for one minute. Little by little, they add up.
The authors concluded that the current 10-minute ____28____ guideline was based on health benefits other than weight outcomes and that their findings showed that for weight gain ____29____, accumulated higher-intensity physical activity bouts of less than 10 minutes are quite ____30____, supporting the message that “every minute counts.”
When it comes to your brain, it also rings true. An April 2019 study in Jama Network Open looked at how exercise affected the brain, and even short bursts ____31____ 22% greater brain volume.
“Our study results don’t ____32____ moderate or vigorous physical activity as being important for healthy ageing. We are just adding to the science, ____33____ that light-intensity physical activity might be important too, especially for the brain,” Dr. Nicole Spartarno, first author of the study from Boston University said.
“I think it’s easier for people to ____34____ that message,” Fan says. “Otherwise, if they don’t have a block of time they might be ____35____, and they don’t do anything.”

Science may never know the secrets to memories of the California sea hare, a foot-long sea snail. But a research team claim to have made progress in ___36___ the simplest kind of memory a mollusk (软体动物) might form, and, with a swift injection, managed to ___37___ one sea snail’s memory to another.
The kinds of memories that start a defensive reaction in the snails are encoded not in the ___38___between brain cells, but in RNA molecules (分子), according to David Glanzman, a biologist at UCLA．To ___39___ the idea, Glanzman implanted wires into the tails of California sea hares and gave them a series of electric shocks. The procedure made the animals so ___40___ that when they were touched, they contracted parts of their bodies intensely. Glanzman compares the reaction to being nervous after an earthquake: the memory of the event causes a(n) ___41___ response to any loud noise. After sensitizing the sea snails, Glanzman took RNA out from them and ___42___ it into new sea snails to see what would happen. He then found the new ones are ___43___ sensitized, suggesting the “memory” of the electrical shocks had been transplanted. According to Glanzman and his research team, the experiment shows that ___44___ parts of the memory trace are held in RNA, rather than in the connectivity of brain cells.
However, the work has not yet found widespread ____45____. “Further work needs to be carried out to determine whether these phenomena are obvious and what is the ____46____ of such phenomena,” said Prof Vann at Cardiff University. “While a sea snail is a fantastic model, we must be very ____47____ in drawing comparisons to human memory processes, which are much more complex.”
Tomás Ryan at Trinity College Dublin, is ____48____. “This work takes us down an interesting road, but I have doubt about it and I don’t think they’ve transplanted a memory,” he said. “This work tells me that maybe the most basic behavioral responses involve some kind of change in the animal.”
____49____, Ryan added that such creative thinking about memory was in great need: “In a field full of acceptance but lacking ____50____, we need as many new ideas as possible.”
36．A．deleting B．disturbing C．refreshing D．understanding
37．A．transfer B．adjust C．compare D．relate
38．A．connections B．conflicts C．secrets D．distances

Anyone could be in his or her unfavorable situations, whatever their ages and social status. Adults are often ___51___ asking for help. It’s an act that can make people feel ___52___. The moment you ask for directions, after all，you reveal that you may be lost. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your ___53___. New research suggests young children don’t seek ___54___ in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.
To learn more about how children think about looking for help, we asked 576 children, aged four to nine, to predict the ___55___ of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.
Children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be ___56___ to ask for assistance. They could still conceive of (想象) situations in which the kid who wanted to seem smart would seek help: when assistance could be sought ___57___ (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
We also found that they recognize several more behaviors that might make a child appear less clever in front of fellow kids, such as ___58___ failure or modestly downplaying successes. Children are therefore strongly aware of several ways in which a person's actions might make them appear less ___59___ in the eyes of others.
However, a number of ___60___ can be found to help children. Our first ___61___ may be to motivate seeking help by emphasizing its educational benefits. But ___62___ barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. For example, instructors could create activities in which each student becomes an “expert” on a different topic, and then children must ask one another for help to master all of the material. If seeking help is understood as a(n) ___63___ classroom activity, kids may be less likely to think of it as indicative (表明) of one’s ability.
Seeking help could even be framed as ___64___ desirable. After all, asking for help often benefits not just the help seeker but also others listening in who have ___65___ questions or struggles.
51．A．delighted with B．ready for C．serious about D．embarrassed about
52．A．impersonal B．sensitive C．helpless D．desperate

Against all our wishes, advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a $34-billion-a-year business. And if Martin Lindstrom, a marketing consultant is correct, trying to ___66___ the advertisement is about to get especially hard.
83% of all forms of advertising principally ___67___ only one of our senses: sight. Hearing, however, can be just as powerful, though advertisers have taken only limited advantage of it. Historically, ads have relied on slogans(广告语)to catch our ear, ___68___ everyday sounds — a steak sizzling(发嘶嘶声), a baby laughing and other sounds we can't help paying attention to. Weave these everyday sounds into an ad campaign and we customers may be ___69___ to resist them.
According to Lindstrom, the everyday sound that is most impressive, both in terms of interest and ___70___ feelings, is a baby laughing. The other high-ranking sounds are also powerful — the sound of a car engine or a soda being poured.
In all of these cases, it doesn’t need an experienced advertisement designer to invent the sounds, associate them with meanings and then play them over and over until the subjects ___71___ them. Rather, the everyday sounds already have meanings and thus can cause a kind of ___72___ : hunger, thirst or happy expectation.
Some TV ads have already given viewers close-up shots of meat with sizzling sounds. And retailers are ___73___ . Lindstrom is now consulting with clients, intending to pipe the sound of filtering coffee or fizzing soda into the drink department or that of a baby laughing sound into the baby-food section.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that advertisers can just press the audio button ___74___ and consumers will come eagerly. Indeed, sometimes customers flee. In the early years of cell-phone use, the ringtone (铃音) of a famous cell phone brand was recognized by many people in the U.K., but soon it became widely ____75____ . That, Lindstrom says, was partly because so few users observed cell-phone manners and ____76____ accidents kept happening in places like movie theaters. The computer start-up sound has taken on the similarly negative ____77____ , because people so often hear it when they’re restarting the computer after it ____78____ . In these cases, manufacturers themselves may as well revise the bothersome sound or ____79____ it entirely.
Lindstrom's experiment also shows that people respond to a sound better when it’s ____80____ . If nothing else, smart marketers may at least keep the volume low.
66．A．tune out B．admit to C．depend on D．take over
67．A．evaluate B．spoil C．engage D．portray

(美国卫生与公众服务部建议成年人每周至少进行150分钟的中强度至高强度的体育活动，并且每次应该有至少10分钟的爆发性运动，以获得实质性的健康益处，这导致许多人疑惑短暂体能活动是无效的。)”，以及“The authors concluded that the current 10-minute 　　　8　　　 guideline was based on health benefits other than weight outcomes and that their findings showed that for weight gain 　　　9　　　, accumulated higher-intensity physical activity bouts of less than 10 minutes are quite 　　10　　　　, supporting the message that “every minute counts.”(作者得出结论：现行的10分钟运动指南是基于健康益处而不是体重结果，他们的研究结果表明，要预防体重增加，累计的少于10分钟的高强度运动爆发非常有效，这支持了‘每分钟都很重要’的观点。)”可知，当权威部门只强调10分钟以上的中强度和高强度的体育运动有益健康时，而不告知大家其实少于10分钟的高强度锻炼也有益，每一分钟的锻炼都很重要，人们会因为自己无法抽出10分钟以上的时间段做锻炼，因“心灰意冷的（discouraged）”而放弃任何锻炼。故选D项。
