It also was short, lasting for only 10 minutes. Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling, the people pleted a puterized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of, for instance, a tree, followed by a variety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one. The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot. The test is difficult, since many of the images closely resemble one another. It requires rapid, skillful scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known. Next, the scientists had each people repeat this processriding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and then pleting memory testingbut the testing now took place inside an M. R. I. machine(磁共振成像儀)that scanned the people39。 Then the researchers pared results. The effects of the exercise were clear. The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike, especially when the images most closely resembled one another. In other words, the harder their memories had to do their best, the better they performed after the exercise. The M. R. I. scans showed that memory parts of each people39。By filling up questionnaires.B.By paring experiment data.D.The marketers promoting fixed bicycles.B.The white collars doing longterm mental work.D.The light exercise is only good for young people.B.The exercise can coordinate different parts of the body.D.Even ten minutes39。There is no need for humans doing exercise every dayC. light exercise benefits the young mostD.s brains and minds in a long time【答案】 (1)C(2)C(3)D(4)A 【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 (2)推理判斷題。因此可推斷這對于長期從事腦力工作的白領(lǐng)們是一個(gè)福音。 (3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。故答案選D。根據(jù)第一段可知,本文主要介紹了一項(xiàng)研究成果:短時(shí)間的輕柔運(yùn)動(dòng)就會提高記憶力水平,故答案選A。 Valentine39。 A study of divorce filings (檔案) in New York, Illinois and California by AttorneyFee. , a legal referral (推薦) site, found that February is the busiest month of the year for divorce filings, up about 18% from the average month.
