How to Stay Young
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding by a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises, and as a result, we are ageing 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 ageing 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 measurement of the volumes of the front and side sections of the brain, which are related to intellect 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 part-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 using the brain, " he says. "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators. "
The doctor’s tests show that
选项
A、our brains shrink as we grow older
B、the front section of the brain does not shrink
C、sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D、some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s
答案
D
解析
本题考查考生根据文章内容进行推论的能力。考的是这些医生的实验结果。文章第五段中提到:Contraction of front and side part-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. 由此可见,一些人的大脑比另一些人的萎缩得多。所以正确答案是D。
