Cntrary t ppular belief, yur brain desn't stp grwing after adlescence. One recent study fund that the brain cntinues t prduce new neurns assciated with learning, emtin and memry thrughut adulthd. Of curse, the utcmes f this nging develpment depend in part n yur wn effrts.
If yu're nt feeling mtivated t wrk ut yur brain, it might be helpful t cnsider the csts f nt cntinuing t learn. Quite simply, the prblems yu have nw——whether in business r ther areas f yur life—are ging t cntinue t exist if yu dn't find new ways t apprach them. The things yu learn will help yu discver new slutins and think mre creatively. When dne right, training yur brain can becme a lifelng habit—just like ging fr a mrning run r hitting the gym at the end f the wrk day.

In endurance athletes, sme brain pwer may cme frm an unexpected surce. Marathn runners appeartrelynmyelin(髓磷脂),thefattytissuearundnervefibers,frenergyduringarace,scientists twfllwingamarathn, this tissue seems t decrease sharply, brain scans f runners reveal. Tw weeks after the race, the brain fat returns back t nearly prerace levels. The finding suggests the athletes burn s much energy running that they need a new fuel supply t keep the brain perating smthly.
“This is certainly an interesting bservatin,”says Mustapha Buhrara, a neurimaging scientist at the Natinal Institute n Aging in Baltimre.“It is quite reasnable that myelin lipids(脂类) are used as fuel in extended exercise.”
Carls Matute, a neurbilgist in Leia, Spain, had been curius hw peple's brains cntinued wrking after intense exercise used up energy reserves in the bdy.
Using an MRI, his team scanned the brains f fur marathn runners in the days befre and after the race, and tw f the runners tw weeks later. A day r tw after the race, the team saw a reductin in the amunt f myelin in the brain. That suggested the myelin arund nerve fibers had thinned. After tw weeks, much f the myelin had returned, thickening again arund neural fibers.
This drastic result gives Buhrara pause. Matute and clleagues used water trapped between layers f myelin as an indicatr fr myelin cntent. Mre f this water indicates mre myelin. But Buhrara assumes if runners are dehydrated(脱水) after their race, their brain tissues may just be dried ut.
It's a pint Matute has heard befre. But he insisted that was nt the case. His team scanned the runners days after their race, s they had time t rehydrate(再吸收水分). What's mre, the runners'brain vlumes stayed nearly the same befre and after the marathn. Nw, his team is fllwing the thread f their findings t see if the runners'myelin dip alters brain functin, and hw lng it takes t recver cmpletely.
32. What d we knw abut myelin accrding t the first tw paragraphs?
A. Myelin declines rapidly during the marathn.
B. Myelin supplies energy in extended exercise.
C. Myelin returns t prerace levels quickly.
D. Myelin is the fatty tissue taking in energy.
33. Why did Matute use water between layers f myelin?
A. T trap the water between layers f myelin.
B. T indicate the cntent f myelin.
C. T hydrate the marathn runners.
D. T keep the brain tissue frm drying ut.

A. Skeptical. B. Supprtive. C. Uncncerned. D. Neutral.
35 Accrding t Carls Matute, the next step f his study is t
A. Cnfirm their findings with the existing thread.
B. Research further n the runners' brain vlumes.
C. Study whether the myelin dip alters brain functin.

When it cmes t entrepreneurship(企业家), it seems like a lt f us are fnd f the idea f NOTgetting mre educatin.

A lt f wuld-be slpreneurs(独立创业者) think this means they shuld take the same curse, putting educatin by the wayside t chase their business gals.
Nw, I'm nt saying that yu need a cllege degree t be a successful entrepreneur. But all t ften,peple take these famus examples a step t far and decide they dn't need t further their educatin in any way.

Cntrary t ppular belief, yur brain desn't stp grwing after adlescence. One recent study fund that the brain cntinues t prduce new neurns assciated with learning, emtin and memry thrughut adulthd. Of curse, the utcmes f this nging develpment depend in part n yur wn effrts.
If yu're nt feeling mtivated t wrk ut yur brain, it might be helpful t cnsider the csts f nt cntinuing t learn. Quite simply, the prblems yu have nw——whether in business r ther areas f yur life—are ging t cntinue t exist if yu dn't find new ways t apprach them. The things yu learn will help yu discver new slutins and think mre creatively. When dne right, training yur brain can becme a lifelng habit—just like ging fr a mrning run r hitting the gym at the end f the wrk day.

In endurance athletes, sme brain pwer may cme frm an unexpected surce. Marathn runners appeartrelynmyelin(髓磷脂),thefattytissuearundnervefibers,frenergyduringarace,scientists twfllwingamarathn, this tissue seems t decrease sharply, brain scans f runners reveal. Tw weeks after the race, the brain fat returns back t nearly prerace levels. The finding suggests the athletes burn s much energy running that they need a new fuel supply t keep the brain perating smthly.
“This is certainly an interesting bservatin,”says Mustapha Buhrara, a neurimaging scientist at the Natinal Institute n Aging in Baltimre.“It is quite reasnable that myelin lipids(脂类) are used as fuel in extended exercise.”
Carls Matute, a neurbilgist in Leia, Spain, had been curius hw peple's brains cntinued wrking after intense exercise used up energy reserves in the bdy.
Using an MRI, his team scanned the brains f fur marathn runners in the days befre and after the race, and tw f the runners tw weeks later. A day r tw after the race, the team saw a reductin in the amunt f myelin in the brain. That suggested the myelin arund nerve fibers had thinned. After tw weeks, much f the myelin had returned, thickening again arund neural fibers.
This drastic result gives Buhrara pause. Matute and clleagues used water trapped between layers f myelin as an indicatr fr myelin cntent. Mre f this water indicates mre myelin. But Buhrara assumes if runners are dehydrated(脱水) after their race, their brain tissues may just be dried ut.
It's a pint Matute has heard befre. But he insisted that was nt the case. His team scanned the runners days after their race, s they had time t rehydrate(再吸收水分). What's mre, the runners'brain vlumes stayed nearly the same befre and after the marathn. Nw, his team is fllwing the thread f their findings t see if the runners'myelin dip alters brain functin, and hw lng it takes t recver cmpletely.
32. What d we knw abut myelin accrding t the first tw paragraphs?
A. Myelin declines rapidly during the marathn.
B. Myelin supplies energy in extended exercise.
C. Myelin returns t prerace levels quickly.
D. Myelin is the fatty tissue taking in energy.
33. Why did Matute use water between layers f myelin?
A. T trap the water between layers f myelin.
B. T indicate the cntent f myelin.
C. T hydrate the marathn runners.
D. T keep the brain tissue frm drying ut.
