A survey has found that in adolescence (青春期 ) a lack of physical activity is connected with emotional and behavioral problems. More than 7,000 teenagers in Finland took part in the survey that judged their levels of physical a
22、ctivity and mental and emotional health. Boys who reported less than one hour of physical activity a week were more likely to be anxious and sad than boys who were more active. Girls who were not active had similar problems, and were more likely than boys who were not active to have sleep problems a
23、nd break school rules. The researchers concluded that both boys and girls who are not active are more likely than active ones to have social and attention problems. “Adolescence is already a difficult stage of life-emotionally, mentally and physically,” study author Marko T.Kantomaa said in the Amer
24、ican College of Sports Medicine. “Mixing that with negative mental and emotional effects brought on by lack of physical activity does not help young people enter adulthood smoothly. Physical activity could be a highly effective and relatively easy way to help that transition and could lead to health
25、y habits for ones whole life,” Kantomaa said. Researchers said that evidence suggests that an increase in physical activity helps reduce problems of sadness and anxiety in both adolescents and adults. “It seems that there is a psychological(心理的 )and physiological(生理的 )connection that helps explain t

I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be
30、 a writer, and in the evening, after my high tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called “Liza of Lambeth”, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. It was of course an accident, but naturally I did
31、not know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now and knowing as I do the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I
32、was taking a fearful risk. It never even occurred to me. The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of 100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed ; the next play he arranged to put on was not ready , and he was at his wits end. He
33、 read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced. It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever
34、 happened before. I was the talk of the town.

39、 The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in scienc

43、tion has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for us was so
44、large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals. William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(沙线 ), good and ill together.” The above brief review of the application of only one part o
45、f human activities science seems to prove what Shakespeare said.
