Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Centre.
The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two?way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity were reported to have fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.
Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”, and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.
“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between his twenties and forties who isn't physically active became active 3 times per week, he would reduce his risks of depression by about 16%,” said Dr Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.
Professor Mark, Director of the Public Health Research Centre, said:“Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggests it also has a positive effect on a person's mental well?being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.”
1.The underlined word “odds” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.benefits B.intervals
C.risks D.ages
2.According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, ________.
A.their depressive symptoms will be fewer
B.their depressive symptoms will be more
C.they will become much younger
D.they will become more depressive
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.Dr Snehal thinks it is important to be both physically and mentally healthy.
B.The research shows men are more active in physical activity than women.
C.Adults who insist on physical activity will avoid depression completely.
D.Increasing physical activity can free people from depression in a way.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression.
B.To introduce a research on the link between physical activity and depression.
C.To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity.
D.To describe the disadvantages of physical activity.

Erica Kenney, a __3__ (science) at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, originally planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks that kids were consuming in schools. However, __4__ she was doing the research, she noticed that many kids were __5__ (simple) not drinking enough water.
Kenney and her team examined figures from a group of 4,000 children aged from 6 to 19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. While looking through the survey results, she __6__ (find) that more than half of the kids were dehydrated (脱水的).
A lack __7__ water can lead to health problems such as headaches, poor physical performance, and even more serious problems. Your body needs more water when you are in hot climates, when you are physically active, and when you have a fever.
Kenney said, “__8__ is good news that this public health problem has a simple solution.

1.Do 考查一般疑问句和时态。根据该句中的“you drink enough water every day”可以判断,该句为一般疑问句,且问的是经常发生的动作,故用一般现在时,故可知答案。
2.published 考查过去分词。a new study和动词publish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
3.scientist 考查词形转换。根据该句中的不定冠词a可知,该处用名词,表示“一位科学家”。
4.when/while/as 考查状语从句的引导词。根据该句中的进行时态“she was doing the research”并结合语境可以判断,此处表示“当她进行研究时,她注意到许多孩子根本没有喝足量的水”。when/while/as都表示“当……的时候”。
5.simply 考查副词。空处修饰动词,故用副词形式。
6.found 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“the kids were”并结合语境可知,该处陈述的是过去发生的事,故用一般过去时。
7.of 考查固定搭配。a lack of“鼓励某人去做某事”,是固定用法,意为“缺乏”。
8.It 考查it的用法。分析该句结构可知,该句为包含that引导的主语从句的主从复合句,It作形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。
9.to drink 考查动词不定式。encourage sb. to do sth.“鼓励某人做某事”,是固定用法。
10.greater 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的“and do better in school”可知,空处与此处对应,应用形容词的比较级。
Ⅴ.应用文写作
假设你是李华,你的英国笔友James最近在学习中文,他来信向你咨询如何提高中文的口语水平。请你用英语给他回一封电子邮件,就如何提高中文口语水平提出一些建议。
注意:1.词数80左右;

参考范文:
Dear James,
I'm more than delighted to hear that you are learning Chinese and seeking effective ways to improve your oral Chinese. It's my great honor to present you some advice on how to improve it.
First of all, interest is the best teacher. If you like watching TV, you can watch some Chinese TV series or movies. Besides, stick to learning some Chinese characters and phrases every day. And I suggest that you should communicate with friends online in Chinese, which helps you practice more. Last but not least, practice makes perfect. Only by practicing more can you improve your oral Chinese rapidly.
Wish you greater progress in learning Chinese.
Yours,
Li Hua
