Wednesday/Week 3 We Are We Smarter Than Before 脑袋更大,越健康?
With all our modern education and technology, we might think we're smarter than people born a century ago. But are we really
It's not quite clear, but scientists do think that over the last century our brains have been getting bigger. A new study has found that people born in the 1970s had a 1.6% larger brain surface than those born in the 1930s. According to the research team, it's possible that larger brains could reduce the risk of age-related dementia—a gradual decline (衰退) in memory, thinking, behavior and social skills.
The researchers looked at MRI (磁共振成像) scans of participants in the Framingham Heart Study in the US. This is a health survey that began in 1948 and is now looking at third-generation participants. The MRI scans were done between 1999 and 2015, and more than 3,600 people were studied. As well as increasing brain size, the study found that brain structures including the hippocampus (海马) —the area that deals with learning and memory—have grown in size. That's when comparing people born in the 1970s with those born in the 1930s, and when accounting for factors like increased body size.
The study's first author Charles DeCarli said larger brain structures may reflect improved brain development and improved brain health. He added, "A larger brain structure represents a larger brain reserve (储备)". This means the brain might be better able to deal with the damage that comes with getting older. This could help reduce the risk of age-related diseases like Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默氏症), DeCarli said.
The number of people living with Alzheimer's in the US has been increasing since the 1970s, as the population has grown and aged. But as a percentage of the population, the rate has actually been decreasing by 20% per decade. DeCarli thinks larger brains may have had an effect on this trend, but further research is required.
What does the writer want to know by asking "But are we really " in Paragraph 1
Whether we are smarter than people a century ago
Whether we have better education than before
Whether technology has improved our lives
Whether our brains are getting smaller
What is "dementia" according to the passage
A kind of brain disease causing memory decline B. A way to improve brain health
C. A technology for brain scans D. A factor of body size increase
How many people were studied in the MRI scan research
A. Less than 3,000 B. More than 3,600 C. About 1,948 D. Around 1999
What does Charles DeCarli think of larger brain structures
They cause more age-related diseases B. They mean worse brain development
C. They help the brain deal with aging damage D. They reduce people's memory ability
15. What trend is mentioned about Alzheimer's in the US
A. The number of patients is decreasing
B. The rate of patients (by population) is dropping 20% per decade
C. The disease only affects people born in the 1930s
D. The disease is cured by larger brains

Hypochondriasis (疑病症), now called illness anxiety disorder, is an unusual condition with symptoms (症状) that go beyond average health worries. People with the disorder are unable to lose their fears 2 they've already paid doctor visits. Some may change doctors repeatedly. Others may 3 medical care.

The researchers have found that people with the diagnosis have an increased risk of death from both natural and unnatural causes, particularly suicide (自杀). Continuing 6 and its effects on the body could explain some of the difference.
David Mataix-Cols of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden led the research. "We got 7 ," he said, "because the Swedish classification (分类) system for diseases has a separate entry for hypochondriasis."
Other research had suggested the risk of suicide might be lower for people with the condition, but Mataix-Cols said that wouldn't be 8 . In the study, the risk of suicide death was four times higher for people with the condition.

Saturday/Week 3 The Trend of "Niksen"“无所事事”的新艺术
Put down your phone, turn off the computer, and forget about those clothes on the floor and the dirty plates in the kitchen, 1 it's time for "niksen". This is one of the most recent wellness trends (趋势), and it sounds like one of the 2 . "Niksen" means "doing nothing". It comes from the Dutch word "niks", which 3 "nothing", and it has become quite popular. Some gyms in the UK have even begun "niksen" classes.
"But while 'niksen' does sound like the easiest thing in the world to do, many people say that because our lives are so busy, switching off (不再想着) is 4 quite hard. Olga Mecking has written a book about it, and she says it's different from meditation (冥想). When we meditate, we're concentrating on breathing or our 5 , but"niksen"really means doing nothing."It's about letting 6 mind wander wherever it wants to go," says Mecking.
The idea is 7 time without any purpose, according to Carolien Hamming, a stress expert from the Netherlands. However, there is no right or wrong way to "niks"—that's the verb some people use to talk about their time spent doing nothing. And it may take some practice to get used to 8 nothing, the expert says. Megan Cannon, a social worker in the US, said that you can begin by looking at a tree, and then just "let the thoughts 9 where they will". There might not be a purpose to that time you spend doing nothing, but 10 who enjoy "niksen" think it can help with stress and burnout (精疲力竭).
So the next time you're sitting doing nothing at all, you don't have to feel lazy and just say you're doing "niksen"!
Words to fill in the blanks:
you, because, spend, go, actual, mean, that, do, think, easy (use proper forms)
