The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate to higher-intensity physical activity each week, and it should be in ____21____ of at least 10 minutes each for substantial health benefits, which has led many to ____22____ about the inefficacy of brief activities. Why people take two minutes going up the stairs if more than 10 minutes is ____23____ to make it worthwhile for health
But now a study suggests something else: go ahead, take the stairs! Every minute ____24____ toward reaching the 150-minute goal, whether it’s part of a 10-minute period of activity or not. The purpose of the study conducted at the University of Utah was to see if moderate to vigorous physical activity in less than 10-minute episodes was ____25____ to weight outcomes. The study, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, found that each minute spent ____26____ in some kind of moderate to vigorous physical activity — be it walking the dog, vacuuming, or taking the stairs — was associated with lower BMI and lower weight.
“The idea here is, you can do a minute at a time and that’s not a problem,” Jessie Fan, lead author of the new paper and a family and consumer studies professor at the University of Utah, told Today.
For the women who participated in the study, each minute spent in higher-intensity activity was associated with a 0.7 drop in body mass index (BMI). For a 5'4" woman, that means a ____27____ of nearly half a pound, which may not sound like much, but that’s just for one minute. Little by little, they add up.
The authors concluded that the current 10-minute ____28____ guideline was based on health benefits other than weight outcomes and that their findings showed that for weight gain ____29____, accumulated higher-intensity physical activity bouts of less than 10 minutes are quite ____30____, supporting the message that “every minute counts.”
When it comes to your brain, it also rings true. An April 2019 study in Jama Network Open looked at how exercise affected the brain, and even short bursts ____31____ 22% greater brain volume.
“Our study results don’t ____32____ moderate or vigorous physical activity as being important for healthy ageing. We are just adding to the science, ____33____ that light-intensity physical activity might be important too, especially for the brain,” Dr. Nicole Spartarno, first author of the study from Boston University said.
“I think it’s easier for people to ____34____ that message,” Fan says. “Otherwise, if they don’t have a block of time they might be ____35____, and they don’t do anything.”

Science may never know the secrets to memories of the California sea hare, a foot-long sea snail. But a research team claim to have made progress in ___36___ the simplest kind of memory a mollusk (软体动物) might form, and, with a swift injection, managed to ___37___ one sea snail’s memory to another.
The kinds of memories that start a defensive reaction in the snails are encoded not in the ___38___between brain cells, but in RNA molecules (分子), according to David Glanzman, a biologist at UCLA．To ___39___ the idea, Glanzman implanted wires into the tails of California sea hares and gave them a series of electric shocks. The procedure made the animals so ___40___ that when they were touched, they contracted parts of their bodies intensely. Glanzman compares the reaction to being nervous after an earthquake: the memory of the event causes a(n) ___41___ response to any loud noise. After sensitizing the sea snails, Glanzman took RNA out from them and ___42___ it into new sea snails to see what would happen. He then found the new ones are ___43___ sensitized, suggesting the “memory” of the electrical shocks had been transplanted. According to Glanzman and his research team, the experiment shows that ___44___ parts of the memory trace are held in RNA, rather than in the connectivity of brain cells.
However, the work has not yet found widespread ____45____. “Further work needs to be carried out to determine whether these phenomena are obvious and what is the ____46____ of such phenomena,” said Prof Vann at Cardiff University. “While a sea snail is a fantastic model, we must be very ____47____ in drawing comparisons to human memory processes, which are much more complex.”
Tomás Ryan at Trinity College Dublin, is ____48____. “This work takes us down an interesting road, but I have doubt about it and I don’t think they’ve transplanted a memory,” he said. “This work tells me that maybe the most basic behavioral responses involve some kind of change in the animal.”
____49____, Ryan added that such creative thinking about memory was in great need: “In a field full of acceptance but lacking ____50____, we need as many new ideas as possible.”

Anyone could be in his or her unfavorable situations, whatever their ages and social status. Adults are often ___51___ asking for help. It’s an act that can make people feel ___52___. The moment you ask for directions, after all，you reveal that you may be lost. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your ___53___. New research suggests young children don’t seek ___54___ in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.
To learn more about how children think about looking for help, we asked 576 children, aged four to nine, to predict the ___55___ of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.
Children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be ___56___ to ask for assistance. They could still conceive of (想象) situations in which the kid who wanted to seem smart would seek help: when assistance could be sought ___57___ (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
We also found that they recognize several more behaviors that might make a child appear less clever in front of fellow kids, such as ___58___ failure or modestly downplaying successes. Children are therefore strongly aware of several ways in which a person's actions might make them appear less ___59___ in the eyes of others.
However, a number of ___60___ can be found to help children. Our first ___61___ may be to motivate seeking help by emphasizing its educational benefits. But ___62___ barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. For example, instructors could create activities in which each student becomes an “expert” on a different topic, and then children must ask one another for help to master all of the material. If seeking help is understood as a(n) ___63___ classroom activity, kids may be less likely to think of it as indicative (表明) of one’s ability.
Seeking help could even be framed as ___64___ desirable. After all, asking for help often benefits not just the help seeker but also others listening in who have ___65___ questions or struggles.

Against all our wishes, advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a $34-billion-a-year business. And if Martin Lindstrom, a marketing consultant is correct, trying to ___66___ the advertisement is about to get especially hard.
83% of all forms of advertising principally ___67___ only one of our senses: sight. Hearing, however, can be just as powerful, though advertisers have taken only limited advantage of it. Historically, ads have relied on slogans(广告语)to catch our ear, ___68___ everyday sounds — a steak sizzling(发嘶嘶声), a baby laughing and other sounds we can't help paying attention to. Weave these everyday sounds into an ad campaign and we customers may be ___69___ to resist them.
According to Lindstrom, the everyday sound that is most impressive, both in terms of interest and ___70___ feelings, is a baby laughing. The other high-ranking sounds are also powerful — the sound of a car engine or a soda being poured.
In all of these cases, it doesn’t need an experienced advertisement designer to invent the sounds, associate them with meanings and then play them over and over until the subjects ___71___ them. Rather, the everyday sounds already have meanings and thus can cause a kind of ___72___ : hunger, thirst or happy expectation.
Some TV ads have already given viewers close-up shots of meat with sizzling sounds. And retailers are ___73___ . Lindstrom is now consulting with clients, intending to pipe the sound of filtering coffee or fizzing soda into the drink department or that of a baby laughing sound into the baby-food section.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that advertisers can just press the audio button ___74___ and consumers will come eagerly. Indeed, sometimes customers flee. In the early years of cell-phone use, the ringtone (铃音) of a famous cell phone brand was recognized by many people in the U.K., but soon it became widely ____75____ . That, Lindstrom says, was partly because so few users observed cell-phone manners and ____76____ accidents kept happening in places like movie theaters. The computer start-up sound has taken on the similarly negative ____77____ , because people so often hear it when they’re restarting the computer after it ____78____ . In these cases, manufacturers themselves may as well revise the bothersome sound or ____79____ it entirely.
Lindstrom's experiment also shows that people respond to a sound better when it’s ____80____ . If nothing else, smart marketers may at least keep the volume low.

这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了多数广告主要通过视觉方面吸引我们的注意力，但也有不少通过广告标语的播放来引起我们的关注。本文还分析了为什么消费者对于不同的广告声音有不同的反应。
66．

67．
考查动词词义辨析。句意：83%的广告形式主要是吸引我们的一个感官:视觉。A. evaluate评估；B. spoil毁坏；C. engage吸引；D. portray描绘。根据后文“Hearing, however, can be just as powerful, though advertisers have taken only limited advantage of it.”可知，广告商会利用听觉与视觉效果去吸引消费注意力，只不过听觉被利用地很有限。换言之，视觉是主要用来吸引消费者注意力的方式。故选C项。
68．
考查动词词义辨析。句意：历史上，广告依赖广告标语来吸引我们的耳朵，这些标语使用了我们每天听到的声音——炸牛排发出的嘶嘶声、婴儿的笑声以及我们情不自禁去关注的声音。A. classifying分类；B. ignoring忽视；C. challenging挑战；D. representing代表。根据后文“Weave these everyday sounds into an ad campaign and we customers may be ___4___ to resist them.”可知，广告商会把我们每天常常听到的声音放到广告标语里来吸引我们的关注,因为这些声音很有代表性。故选D项。
69．
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：把这些声音融入到广告当中，我们消费者可能对此没有抵抗力。A. sensible理智的；B. selfish自私的；C. powerless无能为力的；D. pleasant令人愉悦的。根据后文“According to Lindstrom, the everyday sound that is most impressive,both in terms of interest and ___5___ feelings, is a baby laughing. The other high-ranking sounds are also powerful-the sound of a car engine or a soda being poured.”可知，我们每天常常听到的声音诸如小孩的笑声是有趣且有积极的情感影响，因此对于这些声音放到广告标语里我们是没有能力去抵抗的。故选C项。

71．

74．
考查介词短语辨析。句意：当然，这并不意味广告商们只要轻轻松松按下声音的播放按钮，就会有顾客急切地过来消费。A. on guard警戒；B. with ease轻松地、容易地；C. under way在进行中；D. in reality事实上。根据后文“Indeed, sometimes customers flee.”可知，播放顾客熟悉的那些日常声音的做法并不是百试百灵，也要失败的时候，顾客也会选择离开而不去购买相关产品。故选B项。

A child’s place in the family birth order may play a role in the type of occupations that will interest him or her as an adult. new research suggests. In two related studies researchers found that only children—and to a certain extent first-born children - were more interested in intellectual careers than later-born children. ____76____ later-born children were more interested in both artistic and outdoor-related careers.
These results ____77____ theories that say our place in family birth order will influence our personality, said Frederick T. L. Leong, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio University. “Parents ____78____ place different demands and have different expectations of children depending on their birth order. ”
“For example, parents may be extremely ____79____ of only children and worry about their physical safety. That may be why only children are more likely to show interest in academic pursuits rather than physical or ____80____ activities. An only child will tend to get more time and attention from their parents than children with sisters or brothers. This will often make them feel special but the ____81____ is that they may suffer from jealousy and loneliness when friends discuss their brothers and sisters and family life. ”
The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along—transforming them from being the centre of attention, to then ____82____ the care of parents. Parents will also expect them to be responsible and “set an example”. The ____83____ from being the focus of a family may be quite a shock and so shape the first-born’s outlook on life. ____84____ first-borns may try to get back their parents’ attention and approval by achieving success in their careers. It is ____85____ that first-borns are significantly more often found as political leaders than any other birth-order position.
Being the youngest in the family can sometimes be a(n) ____86____ experience especially if the child wants to be taken seriously and treated like an adult. The last-born is more likely than the other birth-order positions to take up dangerous sports. This may be a(n) ____87____ of the last-born’s rebelliousness-a result of being fed up with always being bossed about by everyone else in the family.
Middle children, however, have different ____88____ . “Middle-child syndrome” can mean feeling ____89____ between two other “more important” people—an older brother or sister who gets all the rights and is treated like an adult and a younger one who gets all the privileges and is treated like a spoilt child. Middle-borns have to learn to get on with older and younger children and this may contribute to them becoming good negotiators —of all the birth-order positions they are most skillful at ____90____ both authority figures and those holding inferior positions
