17、ind from the brains physical deterioration. It is known that the brain shrinks as the body ages, but the effects on mental ability are different from person to person. Interestingly, in a study of elderly men and women, those who had more education actually had more brain shrinkage. “That may seem l

18、ike bad news, “said study author Dr. Edward Coffey, a professor of psychiatry and of neurology at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit. However, he explained, the finding suggests that education allows people to with- stand more brain-tissue loss before their mental functioning begins to break down.

19、The study, published in the July issue of Neurology, is the first to provide biological evidence to support a concept called the “reserve“ hypothesis, according to the researchers. In recent years, investigators have developed the idea that people who are more educated have greater cognitive reserve

20、s to draw upon as the brain tissue to spare. Examining brain scans of 320 healthy men and women ages 66 to 90, researchers found that for each year of education the subjects had, there was greater shrinkage of the outer layer of the brain known as the cortex. Yet on tests of cognition and memory, al

21、l participants scored in the range indicating normal. “Everyone has some degree of brain shrinkage, “Coffey said. “People lose(on average)2. 5 percent per decade starting at adulthood. “ There is, however, a “remarkable range“ of shrinkage among people who show no signs no mental decline, Coffey not

22、ed. Overall health, he said, accounts for some differences in brain size. Alcohol or drug use, as well as medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, contribute to brain-tissue loss throughout adulthood. In the absence of such medical conditions, Coffey said, education level helps e

23、xplain the range of brain shrinkageexhibited among the mentally-fit elderly. The more-educated can withstand greater loss. Coffey and colleagues gauged shrinkage of the cortex by measuring the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain. The greater the amount of fluid, the greater the cortical shrink

24、age. Controlling for the health factors that contribute to brain injury, the researchers found that education was related to the severity of brain shrinkage. For each year of education from first grade on, subjects had an average of 1. 77 milliliters more cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. For ex

25、ample, Coffeys team reported, among subjects of the same sex and similar age and skull size, those with 16 years of education had 8 percent to 10 percent more cerebrospinal fluid compared with those who had four years of schooling. Of course, achieving a particular education level is not the definit

26、ive measure of someones mental capacity. And, said Coffey, education can be“a proxy for many things“. More-educated people, he noted, are often less likely to have habits, such as smoking, that harm overall health. But Coffey said that his teams findings suggest that like the body, the brain benefit

27、s from exercise. “The question is whether by continuing to exercise the brain we can forestall the effects of (brain shrinkage), “ he said. “My hunch is that we Call. “ According to Coffey, people should strive throughout life to keep their brains alert by exposing themselves to new experiences. Tra

28、velling is one way to stimulate the brain, he saicl; a less adventuresome way is to do crossword puzzles. “A hot topic down the road, “ Coffey said, will be whether education even late in life has a protective effect against mental decline. Just how education might affect brain cells is unknown. In

29、their report, the researchers speculated that in people with more education, certain brain structures deeper than the cortex may stay intact to compensate for cortical shrinkage. 21 According to this passage, all of the following factors could account for brain shrinkage except_. ( A) age ( B) educa

30、tion ( C) health ( D) exercise 22 Which of the following statements is true? ( A) The brain of an adult person shrinks 2. 5% every 10 years. ( B) The cerebrospinal fluid of a person with 8 years of education may have increased 17. 7 milliliters. ( C) The cerebrospinal fluid of a person with 16 years

31、 of education may increase by 10%. ( D) The brain of an aged person shrinks 5% every 10 years. 23 According to Coffeys research, the brain may benefit from_. ( A) running ( B) playing chess ( C) swimming ( D) playing football 24 From this passage, we can conclude that_. ( A) education is beneficial

32、to mental development ( B) education protects the brain from shrinking ( C) education has a protective effect against mental decline ( D) education affects overall brain structures 24 “Death and the Surf, with its main character Fran, spends less time in Spain than in the creaky, peat-scented realmo

33、f bullfighting. There are thoughtful, well-researched sections on bull breeding, explanations of the byzantine system of scoring and scheduling professional bullfights, descriptions of the repertory of torero moves and the highly orchestrated three-act structure of the fight itself, as well as intel

34、ligent discussion of the work and influence of Hemingway, something an American journalist writing a book about bullfighting(with a protagonist who draws his bloodline through“The Sun Also Rises, “no less)is going to have to reckon with. What Lewine has created may be the most in-depth, incisively w

35、ritten literary guide to bullfighting available in English. Every drunken sophomore riding the rails to Pamplona this summer ought to keep a Volume in his backpack. At times, though, “Death and the Sun“is too thorough a guide. We learn that seating sections in a bullring are Called tendidos, what ki

36、nd of seat you can get for 3. 50 in Madrid and that Pamplona was under control of the Visigoths, Franks and Moors. Not only do we bear wimess to the grueling nature of life on the road for Frans team, but we find out who gets to ride shotgun in the Mereedes minibus, where everyone else sits, and who

37、 brings a pillow. Maybe the deep reporting is meant to fill in for plot. In the end, Frans season doesnt have that Hemingway- Almodvar Spanish dramathose lightsthat Lewine was probably hoping for There are some exciting moments but the narrative doesnt order itself into the classic three-act structu

38、re we expect stories about bullfighters and boxers to hew to, thanks to Ron Howard. So Lewine, a frequent contributor to The New York Times, is left trying to pull the narrative torque from the person of Fran. Lewine writes often, and well, about how bullfighting is an art performed by two actors, o

39、ne of them a 1, 200-pound horned ruminant bred to look scary and without much mind for collaboration. Its within this unpredictability that the beauty(and danger)of the bullfight lies; and sometimes the bull just doesnt cooperate. Fran himself, it turns out, wasnt very cooperative. He appears rigid,

40、 opaque, distant. Lewine had remarkable access to Fran and his cortege for the better part of eight months, but there are only a few human moments with the bullfighter, and even those are too small to stretch out into a character. He was in the middle of a public divorce, but youd barely notice. Too

41、 bad. As it is, if Fran is something other than reticent, noble and bullfighterly, you wouldnt know it from reading the book. This is the problem with the genre: you commit to your subject, invest a year of your life, but sometimes you end up with someone either too self-conscious or, like most athl

42、etes, too unreflective to reveal himself to you. Unlike Hemingway, if Lewine didnt know what his matador was thinking, he wasnt allowed to make it up. 25 From this passage we know that bullfighting is_. ( A) a solo act. ( B) unpredictable. ( C) seldom covered in this book. ( D) actually an act perfo

43、rmed by a group. 26 As for the main character Fran, which of the statements is NOT true? ( A) He is a character that is with some connection to Hemingway. ( B) His career of bullfighting is smooth and successful. ( C) The character is not very cooperative in bullfighting as his career. ( D) The char

44、acter is not light enough for the sport. 27 Concerning the book, which of Se following statements is true? ( A) The book is with great insight into heros inner world. ( B) The characterization of this book is praised in this passage. ( C) The title of the book is under the influence of Hemingway. (

45、D) This book is actually a guide to bullfighting. 27 Economic globalization obviously has a great deal to do with the change of prolonged working hours. It has leveled the playing field all over the world, so that the have-nots can now compete more equally with the haves, especially if they are will

46、ing to work harder, longer and for lower wages, which so many of them are. And the haves, in turn, find that they have to pick up the pace just to stay even. But there may be a more insidious force manifesting itselfsomething along the lines of an evolutionary law that says, paradoxically, the more

47、you try to simplify or eliminate work, the more of it there is to do. Scholars estimate that medieval peasants, for example, worked between 120 and 150 days a year. They didnt have holidays as we understand them, but they had about eight weeks worth of holy days, which amounted to the same thing. Th

48、e notion of a regular workweek was a late-18th-century invention, a product of the vastly speeded-up pace of the Industrial Revolution, which instead of liberating workers, virtually enslaved them, dooming entire families to numbing stretches in what Blake called the“dark, Satanic mills. “The Mills and Factories Act, passed in England in 1833 to curb the worst labor abuses of the time, limited children 9 and older to 48 hours of work a week and teenagers to 69 hours. Adults worked even longer, and they did so in part simply because they could. The Nobel Pri
