For people suffering from depression(抑郁), there' s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8, 000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study' s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. " Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky, " said lead author Karmel Choi. " On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes. "
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. " Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible, " Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there' s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
(1)、How did the researchers reach their conclusion?A、By analyzing a mass of data. B、By conducting genetic research. C、By comparing various levels of activity. D、By tracking the subjects for many years.(2)、What does the study show about depression?A、Physical activity betters medical treatment. B、Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it. C、Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same. D、Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.(3)、What does the underlined word " ubiquitous" in paragraph 4 mean?A、Harmful. B、Unusual. C、Common. D、Complex.(4)、What is the purpose of the text?A、To discuss a disease of depression. B、To explain a phenomenon(现象)of depression. C、To analyze a genetic risk of depression. D、To introduce a method to lower the risk of depression. -
2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, " It' s a little damp (潮湿的) outside. " Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, " She isn' t exactly friendly. " Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What' s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn' t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
