If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock．According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．

Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers（慢跑者） and non-joggers for 12 years．The death rates（率） from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate(适合的) pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die．

The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour．The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers．The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)．Over time，this can cause serious injuries．

Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease（减少） risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy（策略）．Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful．”

The implications（含义） of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events，triathlons（三项全能） and long-distance running and cycling．According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher in the study，“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact（影响） on your health．And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”．

1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“___________”．

A．hard　　　　　　　　 B．regular

C．practical　　　　　 D．flexible（灵活的）

2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________．

A．suggest giving up jogging

B．show risks of doing sports

C．provide supportive evidence（证据）

D．introduce the research process（过程）

3.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？

A．It may injure the heart and arteries．

B．It can make the body tired out．

C．It will bring much pressure．

D．It consumes too much energy．

4.What can be inferred from the text？

A．No exercise at all is the best choice．

B．More exercise means a healthier life．

C．Marathons runners are least likely to die．

D．Proper exercise contributes to good health．

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.

Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.

With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.

Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)

Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.

Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.　 The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.　　 Matsuzawa’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 blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”

1.The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.

why certain people age sooner than others　　

B. how to make people live longer

C. the size of certain people’s brains　　　　　

D. which people are most intelligent

2.On what are their research findings based?

B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.

C. The study of brain volumes of different people　

D. The latest development of computer technology.

3.The word “subjects” in Paragraph 5 means ________.

something to be considered　　　　　　　　　　　　

B. branches of knowledge studied

C. persons chosen to be studied in an experiment　　

D. any member of a state except the supreme ruler.

4.According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?

A. Lawyers.　　　　 B. Farmers.　　

C. Clerks.　　　　 D. Shop assistants.
