13、 have a good think. This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability t
14、o think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations. Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side section
15、s of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character. Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. Faulkner concluded from his tests that th
16、ere is a simple way to slow the contractionusing the head. The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whitecollar workers doing routine work
17、are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Faulkner“s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good b
18、lood circulation is through using the brain,“ he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don“t rely on pocket calculators.“（分数：12.00）(1).Professor Faulkner wanted to find out _.（分数：3.00）A.how people“s brains shrinkB.the way of making people live longerC.the size of certain people“s brainsD.why

Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students b
22、y means of e-mail, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication. There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning. There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments. Online education
23、is available all the time, anywhere and to all people. However, there are weaknesses for some learners. The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints.

40、 some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose. There is one interesting thing to notesome scientists say taking medicines when you have a c
41、old is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn“t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: If takes about one week to get over a cold if you
