Many know the importance of properly warming up and preparing to exercise, but experts say that including a cool down routine is just as important. According to the Mayo Clinic, cooling down allows for your body to recover and return to its normal, pre-exercise state.

Though cooling down isn't proven to reduce muscle stiffness(僵硬) or pain, it can prevent dizziness and allow your heart rate and breathing to ease back to a normal rate, Harvard Medical School reports. Phyllis Mammarelli, personal trainer at the Shenango Valley YMCA in Sharon, Pennsylvania, works with each of her clients on a cool down routine as she says it's a beneficial part of exercising.

“Cooling down allows your body to gradually return to a low-intensity activity level, slowly reducing your respiratory (呼吸的) and heart rate until it's equalized and back to normal,” she says.

Skipping the recovery phase of a workout isn't proven to be harmful to your body, but Mammarelli warns that without cooling down, the body will take longer to return back to the low-intensity activity level you began your workout with.

There are also non-threatening side effects that could occur as a result of forgoing a cool down. Mammarelli warns that blood can gather or pool in your lower extremities and lead to dizziness and fainting. Other side effects include your muscle pain and stiffness, which can occur24–28 hours after your workout. These side effects are mostly seen in the elderly or those with cardiovascular disease and can be eased by warming up and cooling down.

Allow five to 10 minutes at the conclusion of your workout for a cool-down routine. During this period, continue your workout session, but at a much-reduced rate. If you're pressed for time during your works or unsure how to allow your body to recover, Mammarelli suggests stretching muscles in a pain-free range of motion.

Adding a few additional minutes to your workout for cooling down may seem like an inconvenience, but the benefits outweigh the cost of finding extra time in your schedule.

24. What is the proven benefit of cooling down?

A. Easing muscle pain.

B. Protecting your heart.

C. Guarding against dizziness.

D. Decreasing muscle stiffness.

25. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in Paragraph 5 possibly mean?

 A. Abandoning.         B. Improving.        C. Employing.          D. Forgetting.

26. What does Mammarelli recommend readers to do?

A Stop working out to avoid injury.

B. Skip cooling down to save time.

C. Practice cooling down after exercising.

D. Stretch your muscles when convenient.

27. Who is the passage targeted at?

A. Potential clients of fitness centers.

B. Personal trainers working at the gym.

C. Readers who are interested in working out.

D. People suffering from muscle stiffness and pain.

I In Australia, as the world locked down to slow the tide of the Covid-19 outbreak, Dr. Daniel Reardon, an astrophysicist living in Melbourne, was admitted to hospital after getting four magnets (磁铁) stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak. Originally, Reardon, who despite his qualifications has by his own account really no experience or expertise in building circuits or things, planned to use his time creating a device that   worn as a necklace, with a powerful neodymium magnet worn on the wrist   would set off an alarm if you brought your hand too close to your face. However, it turned out that Reardon's

facility did the opposite. The necklace screams continuously unless you move your hand close to your face.

After this initial failure, it seems, lockdown boredom really set in. Reardon started playing with the magnets, clipping (夹住) them to his face and then to his nostril. Things went downhill pretty quickly when he clipped them to his other nostril.

He placed two magnets inside his nostrils, and two on the outside. When he removed the magnets from the outside of his nose, the two inside stuck together. He decided to Google the problem and found the solution was more magnets on the outside to offset the pull from the ones inside.

As he was pulling downwards to try and remove the magnets, they clipped on to each other and he lost his grip. And those two magnets ended up in his left nostril while the other one was in his right. At that point he ran out  of magnets.

Ultimately, after some further struggles involving some pliers which became magnetized, Reardon was hospitalized   with his partner, who works at a hospital, taking him in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at him. After the magnets were successfully removed, Reardon received some medical notes which contained the phrase: “Denies difficulty breathing. Denies further magnets.”

28. Why did Reardon start his invention?

A. To amuse himself.                       B. To remind wearers.

C To stop covid-19.                         D. To kill time.

29. What resulted in Reardon's unsuccessful attempt?

A. He lacked qualifications.

B. He was inexperienced.

C. He had no spare parts.

D. He was fully occupied.

30. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 &4?

A. Each of Reardon's nostrils had two magnets in.

B It's dangerous to play with neodymium magnets.

C. People tend to surf the Internet for their problems.

D. Reardon could have saved face with enough magnets.

31. What does Reardon's partner think of magnets getting stuck in his nose?

 A. Funny.          B. Awkward.            C. Boring.            D. Creative.

D

New DNA Repair-kit Successfully Fixes Hereditary(遗传性的) Disease in Cells

Genetic mutations (突变) which cause a weakening hereditary kidney disease affecting children and young adults have been fixed in kidney cells from a patient using a potentially game-changing DNA repair-kit. The advance, developed by the team led by Dr Francesco Aulicino and Professor Imre Berger from Bristol's School of Biochemistry, is published in Nucleic Acids Research.

Podocin is a protein normally located on the surface of specialized kidney  cells and essential for kidney  function. Faulty podocin, however, remains stuck inside the cell and never makes it to the surface, damaging the podocytes (肾小球足细胞) and leading to hereditary Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS), which cannot be cured with medications. Gene therapy (疗法)which repairs the genetic mutations causing the faulty podocin offers hope for patients.

By applying new biology techniques, the team re-engineered baculovirus, a for humans harmless insect virus to create a DNA repair vehicle. This re-engineered baculovirus is considered safe, as it could only multiply in the insect, but not in human cells. It can enter human cells very efficiently. What sets apart baculovirus from current ones Like LV, AV, and AAV is that the shell of baculovirus resembles a hollow stick   it simply becomes longer when the load increases. This means a lot more advanced tool-kit and much larger DNA pieces to repair a genetic error can be delivered, making it much more multifunctional than commonly-used systems.

The team used patient-derived podocytes carrying the disease-causing error in the genome to demonstrate the potentials of their technology. Dr Aulicino said:  “There are many avenues to apply our system. In addition to podocin repair, we could show that we can correct many errors in very different places in the genome efficiently, by using our single baculovirus delivery system and the most recent editing techniques available.”

Professor Gavin Welsh said:  “These results are very encouraging. It is a long road ahead to carry out a new system for clinical applications, but we believe the advantages offered make this a very worthwhile undertaking.”

32. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?

 A. The theory of a therapy.               B. The cause of a disease.

 C. A special protein.                        D. An important cell.

33. Why did the team choose baculovirus?

 A. Its shell is extensible.                 B. Its risk is controllable.

C. It can enter human cells.             D. It can reproduce quickly.

34. Why did the team experimented on faulty podocytes?

A To follow a common practice in the field.

B. To make their experiment easier to perform.

C. To show the greatness of their achievements.

D. To employ the most recent editing techniques.

35. What's Gavin Welsh's attitude toward the study?

 A. Cautious.         B. Dismissive.           C. Doubtful.      D. Approving.

Playing sports benefits your body and your brain

What if I told you there was something that you can do right now that would have an immediate, positive benefit for your brain including your mood and your focus? What if I told you that same thing could actually last a long time and protect your brain from different conditions like depression, Alzheimer's disease or dementia?  36

  37 what I want to do today is tell you a story about how I used my deep understanding of neuroscience(神经科学). As a professor, I essentially did an experiment on myself in which I discovered the science underlying why exercise is the most transformative thing today.

Because I encountered something amazing, I had to study it with the potential to change so many lives. I discovered and experienced the brain-changing effects of exercise. I tried everything, ranging from kickbox, dance, to yoga, but at first it was really hard. What I noticed is that after every sweat-inducing workout that I tried, I had this great mood boost and this great energy boost.  38  Well, I started feeling stronger and better, and even lost that 25 pounds.

Moreover, my long-term memory seemed to be better in me. Maybe all that exercise that Ihaq included and added to my life was changing my brain. Maybe I did an experiment on myself without even knowing it.   39   What I found was an exciting and growing literature that was essentially showing everything that I noticed in myself: better mood, better energy, better memory, and better attention.

The more I learned, the more I realized how powerful exercise was, which eventually led me to the big decision to completely shift my research focus. So now, after several years of really focusing on this question, I've come to the following conclusion.  40

A Why not join us?

B Would you do it?

C That's what kept me going back to the gym.

D. Playing sports is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

E. I turned to literature for what I could find about the effects of exercise.

F. Exercise has immediate, long-lasting and protective effects on your brain.

G. Exercise is the most constructive thing that you can do for your brain today.

There's a boy named Tom who had a large family, happily living with his sisters, parents and grandmother. His grandmother loved . everyone a lot and was respected by all family members. She was very old, yet sometimes she would recall things from her past and share with them. Sometimes they would believe her but at other times they would think that Granny might be mixing up the facts due to her old age.

One day, when Tom was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织), Granny remembered something and she couldn't contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son—Tom's father. She walked as fast as she could to his room and said, “You always asked about my birth date but do you know today is the day when I was born.”

She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an quick response. However, her son wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he didn't pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son's reaction, Granny then went to Tom's mother and Tom's sister, but like Tom's father, nobody believed her.

Disheartened, she went and sat in the terrace (阳台). When Tom returned from his school, he found his grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Tom asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion, she said what was troubling her—nobody seemed to care that it was her birthday today!

After hearing what Granny said, Tom thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Tom's friends were playing nearby so he shared his plan with them.

Tom's friends were all glad to help him with his plan.

Tom's granny was so happy, with tears of joy shining in her eyes.
