9、. I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to resist. Ive tried varying schedules lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off. The every day approach was the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give myself a break.

10、The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving yourself a chance to reenergize, you begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself Sundays off. Now Im scheduling downtime in the midst of everything and “everything” includes two magazines, building a hou

16、Ten minutes break will work wonders.CThe Maya city of Tikal is famous for its amazing palaces and temples. But something far more ordinary kept Tikal functioning: its water-purifying(净化)system，the earliest known of its kind.Researchers recently discovered a volcanic mineral that traps microbes (微生物)

17、and heavy metals in Tikals largest reservoir (水库）. Because the material is not found nearby, the finding suggests the presence of a man-made water-purifying device.The finding denies the long-standing idea that the ancient worlds technological achievements belonged to the Eastern world, like Egypt,

18、and China. The leading scientist of this research, Kenneth Tankersley says, When talking about purifying water, the Maya were thousands of years ahead.”Located in the forests of Central America, Tikal, is thought to have been home to more than 45,000 people. They had to struggle against a dry season

19、 lasting from November through April. Storing water in reservoirs was a solution, but that water had to be fit to drink, said Kenneth, “ Keeping water clean was of great importance.”A few years ago, the researchers were surprised to find that the largest reservoir, Corriental, had significantly fewe

20、r harmful chemicals than the others. The water quality at Corriental was much higher.Somehow the Maya must have been purifying Corrientals water, the team assumed. The Maya used gardens as their bathrooms.” Kenneth said, The water coming into the reservoir would not have been very clean.”At the bott

21、om of Corriental, scientists found four separate layers ( 层) , each a few centimeters thick，of millimeter-scale zeolites(沸石）.” This type of volcanic mineral can purify water and is still in widespread use today, Kenneth says, Just about everything we drink, from bottled water to wine, runs through a

22、 zeolite purifying device.The Maya wouldnt have known about the zeolite in rock, but they would have recognized the purifying effects, the researchers suggest. A zeolite-rich rock formation about 30 kilometers northeast of Tikal is the likely source of the material in Corriental reservoir, the team

23、said last month in Scientific Reports. Water at this site was clear and tasted good.28.What did the researchers find?A. A new material called zeolites. B. The purifying effects of zeolites.C.

26、sh be depressed? This question has been on my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel across from a sad-looking fish. His name was Bruce Lee.The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of. Was I incorrectly assuming his laziness was a sign of being upset?When I sou

27、ght answers from scientists, I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous. But they did not. New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish cognition (认知)，building a case that pet and owner are not nearly as different as many assume. The neurochemistry (神经化

We tend to think of them as simple living things, but there is a lot we dont give fish credit for.Dr. Pittman likes working with fish, in part, because they are so obvious about their depression. A zebrafish gets dropped in a new tank.

29、 If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half, its depressed. If its swimming up top, then its not.Is depression the right word? Theres the obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they feel, says Dr. Diego A. Pizzagali . Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depressio

30、n as we know it.There is a heated debate about whether anxious or depressed is a more appropriate term. But what has convinced Dr. Pittman, and others, over the past ten years is watching the way the zebrafish lose interest in just about everything ： food, toys, exploration, just like clinically dep

31、ressed people who are withdrawn. The same is true of fish.One of the things were finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out, said Dr. Braithwaite.
