【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small group a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be: leader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in pleting the shared goal. Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or club39。s instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher and lowerlevel language learners. Putting too many people with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in this method of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each person39。s role. Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to explain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructor39。s job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation. With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one.（1）What39。s the oute if people do not enjoy group work?

This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（認知的）development during ageing,says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada.In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer39。s symptoms（阿茲海默氏癥）,possibly to the point of preventing them. Wojtowicz39。s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific placed in the box,they froze with fear. Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a pletely different box in a different room. The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn39。t remember which one was those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings. “The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we39。re young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we39。re older,says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.（1）The study shows that______. A.physical activity is important for physical healthB.using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats39。 growthC.physical activity can prevent human39。s Alzheimer39。s symptomsD.the more exercise a rat has when young,the better memory it will possess when older（2）How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed? A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving an example.C.By describing the process.D.By showing differences.（3）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Exercise.16
