When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very 31 . When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t 32 lives, he was planting trees. His house 33 on ten acres of land, and his life’s 34 was to turn this land into a forest. The good doctor had some 35 theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle:“No pain, no gain”. He never watered his new trees, a(n) 36 which is contrary to 37 wisdom.

Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants 38 them because it made them grow weaker. He said you have to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest 39.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him 43 some 25 years ago. They were tall and 44 .

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of coddling(溺爱)these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches 45 .Adversity (逆境)seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb’s trees in ways comfort and ease 46 could.

A

It is common sense that children who walk or cycle to school have a lower risk of obesity than those by car. But driving your youngsters to the gates could also cause their academic work to suffer.

Researchers found children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, had poorer concentration levels than those who took a more active route such as walking or cycling.

The joint study by researchers at two Danish universities found the regular exercise could advance a student up to half a year in their studies. Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had walked or cycled.

The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis(假设) originally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils’ ability to concentrate.

“The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has about four hours later,” Niels Egelund, a co- author of the report said. “The results showed that having breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercise.”

“As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone half a year further in their studies,” he added.

In the survey, taken by 19, 527 pupils aged five to 19 years old, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.

“Most people know the feeling of being refreshed after having exercised, but it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long,” Egelund said.

Previous research from the university of Montreal has found that exercise helps our brains make better use of oxygen. It may also reduce mental fatigue(疲劳) and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And last week Swedish researchers said they found that muscular boys will live longer than their weaker friends.

And even if they are overweight by the time they get to adulthood, those with stronger muscles tend to live longer.

51. What is the best title of this passage?

A. Exercise —— Refresh y
