Researchers have been aware fr an extended perid that adequate sleep at night is crucial fr maintaining brain health. Hwever, there is nw encuraging infrmatin fr individuals wh enjy taking shrt naps (小睡) during the day. A recent study fund that daytime naps can have psitive effects n brain functin.
Researchers frm the University Cllege Lndn in the UK and the University f the Republic in Uruguay lked at small sectins f peple’s DNA. There are 97 sectins f DNA in humans that can identify whether a persn is likely t be a daytime napper r nt. The scientists used data frm 35,080 peple in the UK between the ages f 40 and 69. They identified peple in the study whse DNA made them mre likely t nap during the day and peple whse DNA shwed they didn’t need t nap. The team cmpared brain scans (扫描) f the nappers with scans f the nn-nappers and nticed sme key differences in their brains.
The results suggested that thse wh liked t nap had larger brains than thse wh didn’t. The brain naturally shrinks with age, s this meant that the brains f peple wh liked t nap aged mre slwly than peple wh didn’t nap. The peple wh napped had brains that were abut 9 cubic (立方的) inches larger than thse wh didn’t nap, which was equal t slwing dwn aging by three t six years.
Dr. Victria Garfield, invlved in the study, mentined that the research culd prvide insights int maintaining brain health with age. She expressed hpe that psitive findings, such as the health benefits f daytime napping, wuld drive any negative impressin away abut midday naps. While the study lacked specific infrmatin n nap duratin (持续时间), previus research suggests that arund 30-minute naps are mst beneficial fr the brain. Additinally, taking a nap earlier in the day, as ppsed t late afternn, is less likely t impact nighttime sleep.
28. What des the recent study mentined in the passage shw abut daytime naps?
A. They have n impact n brain functin.
B. They can psitively affect brain functin.
C. They have a damaging effect n brain health.
D. They are nly beneficial if taken fr a lng perid.
29. Hw did the researchers identify thse wh tend t daytime napping?
A. By studying a large ppulatin aged 40-69.
B. By analyzing peple and animals’ brain scans.
C. By examining small sectins f peple’s DNA.
D. By cnducting surveys n daytime napping habits.
30. What is the likely meaning f the wrd “shrink” in paragraph 3?
A. T age a little bit quickly.B. T increase in vlume.
C. T becme mre natural.D. T physically reduce in size.
31. What des the passage imply abut the timing f daytime naps?
A. Late afternn naps are mre beneficial fr brain health.
B. Nighttime sleep is unaffected by the timing f daytime naps.
C. The study des nt prvide infrmatin abut the timing f naps.
D. Napping earlier in the day has a psitive impact n nighttime sleep.

Fr mst peple, the thught f having t watch themselves wrk ut is nt an attractive ne. Yet as any gym-ger knws, there are always sme peple wh like t enjy their reflectin in the flr-length mirrrs. It is perhaps these particular keep-fit lvers wh are mst excited abut the latest trend in hme exercise-smart fitness mirrrs.
These are 180 cm r s tall, high-tech mirrrs that have a cmputer which is cnnected t the Internet, and als wrk as a vide screen. The idea is that peple cntact an nline trainer, wh then appears in the mirrr alng with their reflectin.
On the mre advanced devices the mirrr is equipped with cameras, speakers and numerus sensrs (传感器) cnnected t AI, s the trainer can watch peple’s mvements, and prvide imprvements and changes. On the simpler mirrrs the vide and sund are just ne-way—peple can see and hear the trainer, but nt the ther way arund. Lessns are typically nt live. Instead, peple just get int a library f nline wrkut vides.
But is there any actual advantage in being able t watch yurself wrk ut? Clleen Lgan, the US wner f bth Nrdic Track and PrFrm, says, “Seeing themselves in the mirrr allws the users t crrect their frm r psitin, s they get the best pssible benefits f strength exercises and reduce mistakes that culd lead t injuries.”
Hwever, Dr Anthny Papathmas, a sprts and fitness psychlgist says there is value t this argument, but that he als has sme cncerns. He said, “Hw peple wh are nt cnfident abut their bdy image feel abut the mirrr gets me in a fret. It may be a prblem fr thse new t exercise and lking t make a lifestyle change. Even fr regular exercisers, there are many wh experience bdy dysmrphia (变形) r eating disrders, and fr them, seeing a reflectin thrughut their exercise might be trubling.”
32. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut smart fitness mirrrs?
A. Their basic functins.B. Their wide ppularity.
C. Their target users.D. Their cmplex structure.
33. What can be the benefit fr exercisers frm simpler fitness mirrrs?
A. Having live wrkut lessns.B. Exercising with ther partners.
C. Taking advantage f wrkut vides.D. Learning frm sme trainers at nce.
34. What des Lgan think f the mirrr?
A. It helps users exercise mre prperly.B. It is necessary fr strength exercises.
C. It culd bring injuries t its users.D. It makes mistakes smetimes.
35. Which f the fllwing best explains “in a fret” underlined in the last paragraph?
A. Satisfied.B. Shcked.C. Excited.D. Wrried.
