They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was p

36、oisoned. It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. Even the poorest of the poor wouldnt eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards,

37、 even policemen in high positions were also getting sick.Soon it became political and popular. Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they didnt care about politics. Everyone was in a positio

38、n where he or she didnt know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. The poor town didnt know how to deal with the situation.One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. He

39、went to pools and the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.“I am sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. It is

40、 you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution. A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. No one here has taken good care of the environment.

If so, you may want to go play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are st

45、arting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in

46、the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can

47、 even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. Sh

48、e thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older,

49、children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not

50、 have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used

51、 for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.63.What is the main idea of this passage? A. How exercis

52、e makes people strong. B. How to get good scores on a test.C. How exercise helps the brain.D. How the brain can change.64.According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development? A. Exercise helps make our blood vessels. B. Physical exercise helps us think better. C.

53、The brain needs special mental exercise. D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.65.The smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _. A. three hours per weekB. 40 hours per week C. three hours per dayD. 40 hours per month66.Why is yoga suggested for seniors? A. It does good to th

54、e joints of old people. B. It does not increase the heart rate. C. It includes learning new actions. D. It can be done in groups.DRecognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert runs across North Africa, covering over 3 million square miles from the Atlantic Coast to the Nile River

55、Valley. Except for an occasional oasis，this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to nearly 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growin
