A variety of studies confirm this, pointing to both the physical and mental health benefits of gardening.If gardening is good, is farming even better? Many of the

17、lifestyle factors associated with longevitysuch as living in the country and getting lots of exerciseapply to farmers as well.Some evidence suggests that farming is one of the healthiest occupations.However, neither farming nor gardening will ultimately guarantee a longer lifespan(寿命).

35、perimental animal is not a mammal but a fish: the zebra fish. Skinbow or brainbow, though, the basic procedure is the same. Genetic 7engineering is used to create lines of animals whose genomes(基因组)contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glow under ultraviolet light(紫外线)These genes are co

36、ntrolled by DNA switches that are activated only in the appropriate tissue typebrain for brainbows, skin for skinbows. In the case of skinbows, some of the proteins glow red, some glow green and some glow blue.At the moment Dr Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 7080 such colours. Moreover,

37、unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.The researchers, for example, could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury. When they

38、cut a fin from one of their charges, they were able to track cells moving to the site of the damage and helping to repair it. They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin to supplement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin. After two to three weeks, the fin had regrown com

39、pletely.The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases, and to drugs that might treat those diseases. In the fullness of time, the technology might be extended to look at skin regeneration in other species, mammals included. Even while restricted to fish, though, it is likely to p

48、nd how to use them, a folly on which plenty of money has been wasted.39._E_， that gets things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the childs ability, that sends teachers clues about what they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether th

49、e teacher is in the classroom.Technology is no panacea(灵丹妙药). Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be.40._G_. But edtech can help greatlyby monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.A. The reason is terrible teachingB. Several recent studies suggest edtech can helpC. Paying teachers more in the hope of employing better ones is not the answerD. Regrettably, the figure is not as impressive as it
