16、erday. While elderly people 24 to sleep for fewer hours than they did when they were younger, this has a(n) 25 effect on their brains performance and they would benefit from getting more, according to research. Scan Drummond, a psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said old

17、er people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping 26 straight through the night. More sleep in old age, however, is 27 with better health, and most older people would feel better and more 28 if they slept for longer periods, he said. The ability to sl

18、eep in one chunk (整段时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to 29 well does not change, Dr. Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Need a Brain Boost? Exercise! A. If you spend your work

22、day at a desk, you know that familiar and dreaded feeling: the mid-afternoon slump. E-mails take a bit longer to compose, documents take longer to read. Its expected, given that you spend most of your time in a chair. To combat your mental fatigue, you reach for artificial stimulation in the form of

23、 caffeine, sugar or energy drinks. B. However, all you need to sharpen your mental acuity (敏锐) is something you already own: your legs. This should come as little surprise. Mental fatigue sets in after youve been sitting for an extended period of time and walking around is an easy way to temporarily

24、 increase your alertness. But a few types of extended physical activity can have measurable impact on your mental acuity. C. According to recent research, a single workout can immediately boost higher-order thinking skills, making you more productive and efficient as you labor through your workday.

25、When you exercise your legs, you also exercise your brain; this means that a lunchtime workout can improve your cognitive performance, thanks to blood flow and brain food. Brain-derived neurotrophic (神经营养的) factor, or BDNF, is a protein that facilitates the growth of neurons and nourishes existing o

26、nes. It improves executive function, a type of higher-order thinking that allows people to formulate arguments, develop strategies, creatively solve problems and synthesize information. BDNF sits idly at the synapses (神经键) of your brain neurons and crosses the synapses only with the increased blood

Novelist Susan Henderson often goes hiking for two or three hours. For my first draft, Ill go into the woods, she says. Ill go with a specific ques

29、tion or dilemma, and talk it out into the voice recorder on my phone. Craig Finn of the band the Hold Steady uses running as a way to gather song ideas. Long runs are a very meditative time. My mind gets to a crazy, unique place once I get above 10 miles. Its a time for some very clear thinking. I d

30、ont know that its conscious, but I always feel inspired to write after I run. E. Fortunately, you dont have to run 10 miles to boost your executive function. Several studies have shown that a short aerobic (有氧的) workout gives your brain an immediate boost. According to Charles Hillman, professor of kinesiology and community health at the University of Illinois, as little as 20 minutes of aerobic exercise at 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate is enough. F. Your choice of ex
