18、.Two burst into tears.

19、ained why we think the way we do.Then,she challenged students to use that knowledge to change their own lives. On that spring afternoon,nearly a quarter of the undergraduate students were enjoying an unexpected break at the same time.No,not just enjoying it-really loving the gift they had been given
20、. Skyler Robinson,a sophomore,had been confused for a moment by all the possibilities it opened up. He felt very,very happy.Then,he took a nap.“That nap.“he said,“was fantastic.“ Santos designed this class after she realized,as the head of a residential college at Yale,that many students were stress
21、ed out and unhappy,struggling through long days that seemed to her far more crushing(修重的）and joyless than her own college years. Santos said students were most skeptical of the idea that good grades arent essential to happiness.And when she joked she was going to teach them that by giving everyone“D

26、ong periods of time every day has countless health consequences,like a higher risk of heart disease.But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad for your brain. A study published last week,conducted by Dr.Prabha Siddarth at the University of California,showed that sedentary(久坐的）behavior is
27、 associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe(中叶），a brain area that is critical to learning and memory. The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people.aged 45 to 70,about their activity levels and the average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains.T
28、hey found that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes.It means that the more time you spend in a chair the worse it is for your brain health,resulting in possible damage to learning and memory. What is also interesting is that this study did not f
29、ind a significant association between the level of physical activity and thickness of this brain area,suggesting that exercise,even severe exercise,may not be enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting. It then surprisingly turned out that you dont even have to move much to improve co
30、gnition(认 知）；just standing will do the trick.For example,two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing.Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli(刺激），like the word“green“in blue ink,and asked to name the color.Subjects thinking on their feet beat thos
31、e who sat by a 32-millisecond margin. The cognitive effects of severe physical exercise are well known.But the possibility that standing more and sitting less improves brain health could lower the bar for everyone. 6 I know,this all runs counter to received ideas about deep thought,from our grade sc

35、ry behavior leads to countless health problems D Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage that can signal the type of bacterial infection its protecting,just like traffic light,as well as release the right type of drugs on demand.The traffic light system works just like this:Green means
36、 no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria yellow means drug-sensitive(DS)bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素）and causes antibiotic release,and red means drug-resistant(DR)bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out. In testing the bandage on mice,the research team was able to suc
37、cessfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method.However,the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time,the requirement for professional personnel,and expensive instruments.Moreover,the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance. Its easy
38、to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesnt have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis,and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity.Whats more.the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what
39、s happening with the infection.if theres an infection at all.The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light,including photodynamic therapy or PDT. 7 Weve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years thanks to advances in
40、 science-like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out,speeding up the healing process.Then theres the novel bandage for treating burns.which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection. The more work that bandage can do while its protecting a wound,the
41、 better.Efforts to improve bandages continue and now weve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics.but also tells the patient exactly whats going on too. 32. What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do? A.Avoid the use of antibiotics. B.Clear out harmful bacteria. C.Detect bacterial infe
42、ctions. D.Increase treatment options. 33. What is the advantage of the smart bandage? A.It saves much time and cost. B.It removes the risk of infection. C.It prevents the bacterial resistance. D.It improves doctor patient relationship 34.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Tradition
43、al bandages are out of use now. B.More smart bandages will be developed C.Progress in science calls for more research. D.People are urged to study medical science. 35.What does the text focus on? A.A successful test on mice. B.A colour-changing bandage. C.Sensing drug-resistant bacteria. D.Preventin
