A team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has demonstrated that communication among memory-coding neurons(神经元)—nerve cells in the brain responsible for maintaining working memory—is disrupted with ageing and that this can begin in middle age.
Findings from the study provide new insights into the ageing process of the human mind. and pave the way for therapies(治疗方法) to maintain the mental well-being of an ageing individual.
Scientists have long studied the impact of ageing on the brain's executive functions, such as poorer self-control and working memory. While it is well established that memory can worsen as people age, it has not been clear what changes occur at the individual brain neuron level to cause this—until now.
In lab experiments, the NTU scientists investigated how neurons in mice of three different age groups—young, middle age and old age—responded to tasks that required memory.
The researchers showed that compared to young mice, middle—aged and old mice required more training sessions to learn new tasks, indicating some decline in memory and learning abilities from middle age. But beyond that, they also found changes in the nerve cells of older mice.
Using advanced optical techniques that allow researchers to observe multiple individual neurons and control their activity, the NTU team discovered that neurons in one part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, showed strong memory coding ability in young mice. However this ability to hold memory diminishes in middle—aged and old mice due to weakening connections among the neurons, which causes the mice to take longer to recall and perform tasks.
Dr Jun Nishiyama, Assistant Professor in the Neuroscience and Behavioural Disorders programme at Duke-NUS Medical School said. "This research emphasises the importance of early, strategic interventions (干预) to cope with cognitive decline, providing a vital framework for future ageing research and brain health maintenance.
(1)、What is unknown to scientists now?A、When memory begins to decrease. B、How aging influences mental health C、What causes memory loss as people age. D、Whether memory may decrease with age.(2)、Which can best replace the underlined word "diminishes" in paragraph 6?A、stands out B、goes down C、comes true D、dies out(3)、According to the research, what is key to fighting against cognitive decline?A、Strategic diet habit, B、Healthy living condition. C、Early scientific prevention. D、Strengthening ageing research.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、Experiments conducted to test cognitive decline. B、Neurons that are responsible for the aging process. C、The importance of assessing the degree of memory loss. D、The way aging weakens brain cells' ability to maintain memory. -

People may form inaccurate impressions about us from our social media posts, finds new Cornell University research that is the first to examine perceptions (认知) of our personalities based on online posts.
An analysis of online status updates found great difference between how viewers saw the authors across a range of personality traits, and the authors' self-perceptions.
Viewers rated the Internet users on average as having lower self-esteem and being more self-revealing, for example, than the users rated themselves, Status updates containing photos, videos or links in addition to text facilitated more accurate assessments than those with just text the researchers found.
Overall, they said, the study sheds light on the dynamic process by which a cyber audience tries to make sense of who we are from isolated fragments(碎片) of shared information, jointly constructing our digital identity.
"The impression people form about us on social media based on what we post can differ from the way we view ourselves." said Qi Wang, professor of psychology and director of the Culture &. Cognition Lab. "A mismatch between who we are and how people perceive us could influence our ability to feel connected online and the benefits of engaging in social media interaction."
The Cornell researchers believe their study is the first to investigate audience perceptions of social media users through their posts, On platforms, users often share fragmentary personal narratives while interacting with "friends" they may know only a little or sometimes not at all.
Interestingly, the study found that online status updates generated perceptions of users that were consistent with cultural standards in offline contexts concerning gender and ethnicity—even though viewers were blind to their identities.
Wang said the findings could help developers design interfaces that allow people to express themselves most authentically.
"If people's view of us is very different from who we actually are, or how we would like to be perceived." Wang said, "it could harm our social life and well-being."
(1)、What may your online posts lead to?A、Authentic digital identity. B、Viewer's misjudgment of you. C、Less social media interaction. D、Making more online friends.(2)、Which of the following will least reveal your personality?A、A link with text B、A pure video post. C、A plain text post. D、A text post with photos.(3)、Who will be most interested in these findings?A、Online web viewers. B、Internet bloggers. C、Computer repairmen. D、Social media developers.(4)、What does Wang think of the result of the research?A、Profitable. B、Meaningless. C、Useful. D、Unpractical. -

First established in 2000 to help thousands of working donkeys in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, the charity Safe Haven for Donkeys has begun working with an Egyptian partner organisation, the Bridge Foundation, to provide care to the donkeys in the El Saf region of Egypt.
Thousands of donkeys and mules work in the brick kilns (砖窑) in Egypt, of which there are approximately 1,000, carrying l.4 to 1.6 tonnes of bricks and moving at an intense pace to prevent unfired bricks from cracking in the heat. Due to a lack of expert veterinary (兽医) care, many of these animals are suffering intense pain from harness wounds, beatings, teeth and hoof issues and parasitic diseases spread by flies.
Now a collaboration between UK charity Safe Haven for Donkeys and Egyptian community development charity the Bridge Foundation is providing much-needed relief to these animals. The project includes a mobile veterinary clinic which treats common injuries and infections and trains owners on how to best look after their donkeys and mules.
Safe Haven for Donkeys CEO Andy Foxcroft said, "Currently, no other animal welfare charity provides veterinary interventions in these particular kilns, hence the need for Safe Haven's expertise, on the ground, treating sick and injured animals and providing training for owners and local professionals (vets and farriers). This first year is vital as we hope to make a lasting impact by reducing the unnecessary suffering of working animals which sadly is all too common a feature in the brick kilns."
Safe Haven for Donkeys' work, which helps an estimated 10.000 animals a year is made possible by charitable donations that fund the treatment and training that they offer. You can donate at safehavenAdonkeys.org.
(1)、What causes the sufferings of the donkeys?A、The needs of kilns and their owners' cruelty. B、Lack of expert advice and food shortage. C、Heavy work and shortage of proper care. D、Water shortage and the heat of brick kilns.(2)、How will Safe Haven for Donkeys help the working donkeys?A、Offering relief to them. B、Providing training for them. C、Rescuing them from hard work. D、Monitoring those brick kilns.(3)、What does Andy Foxcroft expect Safe Haven for Donkeys to do?A、Bring about more professional vets. B、Treat sick and injured animals well. C、Provide professional training for owners. D、Shift working animals' situation lastingly.(4)、What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A、To call for donations B、To summarize the article. C、To introduce Safe Haven. D、To praise the work of Safe Haven. -

17、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Billy, a fourth-grade student at a primary school in Florida, was bullied for his DIY hand-drawn logo of the University of Tennessee(the UT), but this made students of the UT act in support and the UT even turned his drawing into an official T-shirt.
It all started at "College Colors Day" on August 30. On that day, the primary school students were invited to wear their favorite university's football team's colors. Billy, wore an orange T-shirt representing his favorite university, the UT. He took it one step further to draw his own UT logo with pen and paper and put it to his T-shirt. Billy excitedly showed his T-shirt to Laura, a fourth-grade teacher at the school. She was greatly impressed and praised him for his wonderful idea.
But after lunch, Billy came back to Laura's office, crying. Billy was upset and hurt because some girls at the lunch table had made fun of the hand-drawn logo on his T-shirt. Laura knew sometimes kids could say really cruel words. She knew although the logo was not well-drawn and of course not the most beautiful, Billy had tried his best to use the resources he had available to him to take part in College Colors Day in his own way.
In an effort to cheer him up, Laura wrote in a post on Facebook, a popular social media website, on Wednesday that one of her students was "SO EXCITED" to show her his orange T-shirt pinned with a hand-drawn "UT" logo, but was made fun of. Laura wrote that she was planning to buy him an official UT T-shirt to make it a little extra special for Billy and ended the post by asking if any of her Facebook friends had any connections to the UT. What happened next made her shocked.

On a steamy July day in Bayonet Point, Florida, Gene Work and his brother-in-law, Mark Rouco, were resodding(重新铺草皮)Gene's yard.
The lawn had grown 1 in the heat, and the Works had been threatened to accept a huge fine if the situation wasn't remedied. The new sod was sitting in the driveway, but the job was slow-going.
Gene, then 40, wasn't feeling right. He went inside to take a break and 2 on the couch, clutching his chest. His wife, Melissa Work, called 911 quickly. Even though he was 3 down death, Gene had one thing on his mind: that 4 .
If the sod wasn't 5 that day, it would die. "While he was having his heart attack, literally in and out of consciousness, he kept 6 me to have it put down because he didn't want it to go to waste," Melissa wrote in a Facebook post.
Soon Pasco County Fire Rescue arrived and took Gene and Melissa to the hospital, leaving Rouco behind to 7 the yard. Within an hour, he had managed to remove the old grass. He was about to lay the new sod, which he 8 would take him well into the night, 9 two emergency vehicles appeared. Seven men—the same ones who had treated his brother—10 . Gene had told them how 11 he'd wanted to get the sod down, so they had returned to help. The job was done in under two hours. Meanwhile, Gene had surgery to insert stents(支架)in his heart, 12 a potentially deadly blockage.
He's home now, fully recovered—and enjoying his beautiful lawn. The Works are still 13 that those EMTs went above and beyond their job 14 . "These men," Melissa told tampabay.com, "saved Gene's life, and then came back to save his grass. That's just so 15 ."
