Exercise seems to be good for the human brain，with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills．But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is，if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise，do our brains respond accordingly？The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives．
While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits，recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect．So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign decided to focus on expectations，on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking．If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits，then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise．
For the new study，which was published last month in PLOS One，the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system，they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸運動) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking．The other volunteers were asked the same questions，but about a regular walking program．
In actual experiments，stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills．Walking，on the other hand，seems to substantially improve thinking ability．
But the survey respondents believed the opposite，estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking．The estimates of benefits from walking were lower．
These data，while they do not involve any actual exercise，are good news for people who do exercise．“The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart，a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University，who led the study．
If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise，Mr．Stothart said，then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching．They didn’t，implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine．
The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may，in the process，improve thinking，Mr．Stothart said． That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how，at a molecular level，exercise remodels the human brain，he said． It also should encourage the rest of us to move，since the benefits are，it seems，not imaginary，even if they are in our head．
1.Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage？
A． It occurs during exercise．
B． It has cognitive benefits．
C． It is just a mental reaction．
D． It is a physiological response．
2.Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research？
A． To discover the placebo effect in the exercise．
B． To prove the previous studies have a big drawback．
C． To test whether exercise can really improve cognition．
D． To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research．
3.What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out？
A． They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise．
B． The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists．
C． The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability．
D． Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect．
4.What might be the best title for the passage？
A． Is it necessary for us to take exercise？
B． How should people exercise properly？
C． What makes us smarter during exercise？
D． Does exercise really make us smarter？

Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同齡人) group.
The lack of right male (男性) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment (環(huán)境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
1.Why did Tom give up studying?
A. He disliked his teachers.
B. His parents no longer supported him.
C. It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
2.What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A. Peer groups. B. A special unit.
C. The student judges. D. The home environment.
3.What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A. Wait for their change patiently.
B. Train leaders of their peer groups.
C. Stop the development of street culture.
D. Give them lessons in a separate area.
4.A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he __ .
A. is with the boy alone
B. teaches the boy a lesson
C. sends the boy home as punishment
D. works together with another teacher

Money is the root of all evil and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California. Berkeley, US，announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的)things, such as lie or cheat，than poorer people.
The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS，《美國國家科學院院刊》).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest (不豪華的)cars.
In another experiment，a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists，rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.
Finally，it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more，and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest，’’said Paul Piif, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy(不能信賴的)or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.
1.By saying “money is the root of all evil”，the author wants to___________.
A. draw readers’ attention to the research
B. link wealth with bad behavior
C. show how the saying proves the findings
D. defend rich people who do unethical things
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did，according to the scientist quoted?
A. Most wealthy people are not trustworthy.
B. The findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further experiments.
C. Drivers of more expensive cars are more likely to break traffic rules.
D. Students from poorer families are not as honest as students from richer families.
3.Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A. To show how social status affects people's ethics.
B. To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.
C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.
D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.
4.What does the article really want to show us?
A. Money is the root of all evil.
B. The rich are more likely to act badly.
C. The saying is reasonable.
D. All rich people are untrustworthy.

Eight Things a Burglar Won’t Tell You
Should you spend your money on a home security system? A look inside a burglar’s mind might help you decide.
1．Of course I look familiar．I was here just last week cleaning your carpets，painting your shutters，or delivering your new refrigerator．
2．Hey，thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week．While I was in your home，I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
3．To you，leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air．To me，it’s an invitation which I am more than happy to accept.

7．You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables．But if it’s not fastened，I’ll take it with me．

Writing one or two articles a day is a fair goal for a human writer. By contrast, the Wordsmith platform can produce up to 2,000 articles a second! Wordsmith is one example of natural language-generation software, often referred to as a robot journalist. To be fair, the software doesn’t start from the beginning, like a human writer might. Instead, the software takes a set of structured data and transforms it into readable text.
Natural language-generation software, such as Wordsmith and Quill, does its work by identifying trends and highlights in sets of data. The software then searches its own dictionary for the words to express its findings.
Why keep human writers around
Although this type of software writes faster than any human, it requires sets of structured data to work. That’s why it’s especially useful for writing earnings reports and other types of “dry” writing. Humans, on the other hand, are good at turning their unstructured thoughts directly into prose. The reports produced by Wordsmith and Quill read naturally, and they can match the tone of human writers. But for now, the robot journalists probably won’t steal many jobs or win any Pulitzer Prizes!（普利策獎）
Current applications of natural language-generation software
Financial reports: The software is commonly used by banks or traders to analyze large amounts of financial data and then produce reports in plain English.
Health and fitness: The software can turn data gathered from wearable devices or fitness trackers into personalized reports. The writing tone can even be adjusted to sound more encouraging!
Sports reporting: The software is often used to turn real baseball, basketball and football statistics into exciting stories.
1.What does natural Language-generation software refer to?
A. The Wordsmith platform.
B. A robot journalist.
C. A special dictionary.
D. Articles written by computer.
2.Natural language-generation software can_________.
A. discover the world’s focuses through the Internet
B. write well enough to win Pulitzer Prizes
C. produce articles in a tone similar to human’s
D. write such beautiful prose as human writers
3.We can learn from the passage that natural Language-generation software ________.
A. has taken the place of human writers currently
B. is only able to turn structured data into dry reports
C. is widely used in all the fields
D. works properly only with the help of sets of structured data
4.Nowadays Natural language-generation software is seldom used by_________.
A. schools B. banks
C. hospitals D. newspapers
