Great scientific prgress has been made in recent years t shw that walking is amng the simplest and mst effective fr peple t prmte physical health and help prevent diseases. A research has brught mre gd news.
A team f researchers lked at data n 474,919 peple wh tk part in the UK Bibank study, in which they answered whether the walking speed was slw, average r fast. Researchers als measured factrs including the peple’s BMI （体重指数） and bdy-fat percentage.
They fund that peple wh walked fast had lnger life expectancies （预期寿命） than the thers in spite f their BMI, at 86.7 t 87.8 years fr wmen 85.2 t 86.8 years fr men. Thse wh walked slwly had shrt expectancies, particularly thse wh mved slwly and had a BMI f less than 20, even thugh this was in the healthy range. Wmen in this grup had an average life expectancy f 72.4 years, drpping t 64.8 years fr men.
The lwest life expectancy was seen in thse wh were underweight with a slw walking speed, which is in cntrast t the assumptin （假设）: that is ften made that fatness creates the greatest risk.

When yu are lying in bed, every single nise-frm the creak （嘎吱声） f the bed t a whistle in yur partner’s nse-may keep yu awake. Yu may find it hard t get a gd night’s sleep. Actually, yu may just need mre nise. While it may sund strange, it is scientifically prven that certain types f nise can help yu sleep well. Fr example, white, pink and brwn nise can help t create a mre harmnius backgrund.
White nise cntains sunds f all frequencies （频率） that humans can hear. But it cmes acrss as a high-pitched buzz （嗡嗡声） . That’s because f the way yur ears hear it. Basically, yur brain strengthens sunds in higher-pitched frequencies. S while yu are hearing sunds frm a variety f frequencies, the highest frequencies tend t drwn （淹没） the lwer-pitched nes.
The pink nise balanced ut the nise s that sunds f all frequencies are heard equally. The higher the frequency, the mre its vlume is decreased. T yur ears, the sund is deeper and sfter than white nise. Think f rain falling n the sidewalk r a gentle wind in the trees.
In a study at China’s Peking University, researchers fund that when peple hear either pink nise r n nise during the sleep, 75 % reprted mre restful sleep with the pink nise. Brain activity mnitrs prved that peple had 23 % mre restful brain activity at night with pink nise and 45 % mre restful sleep during naps.
Brwn nise takes this cncept t the next level, further weakening higher frequency nise t prduce an even deeper and richer sund.
The clr f nise that will help yu get mre sleep is the ne yu like the best. While pink and brwn nises are deeper and mre balanced than white nise, yur persnal sleep preferences will decide which ne gives yu the best sleep.

A. remves lw-frequency sunds.B. prtects ears frm high-pitched sunds.
C. makes sunds f all frequencies heard equally.D. cntains sunds f all frequencies f peple can hear.
33. Why des the authr mentin the study at China’s Peking University?
A. T shw the need fr silence during sleep.B. T prve pink nise’s psitive influence n sleep.
C. T stress the imprtance f restful sleep.D. T give the reasn fr mre nise fr sleep.
34. What’s the main idea f this passage?
A. Sme types f nise may help peple sleep better.B. Our brain is always kept active.
C. Many peple have difficulty sleeping well.D. Nise has different clrs and frequencies.
35. In which sectin f newspaper may this passage appear?
