问题     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 【S1】______, 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 【S2】______ 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 【S3】______.
    Computer technology enabled the researchers to 【S4】______ precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which 【S5】______ 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 【S6】______ with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties or functions).
    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.
    Matsuzaswa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally 【S7】______ 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. White collar workers doing 【S8】______ work in government offices are however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
    Matsozawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain form 【S9】______. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supple the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood 【S10】______ is through using the brain," he says. "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators."
