A new study shws that getting half f American 8-t 11-year-lds int 25 minutes f physical activity three times a week wuld save ＄21.9 billin in medical csts ver their lifetimes.
The increase frm the current 32 percent t 50 percent f kids taking part in exercise, active play, r sprts wuld als result in 340,000 fewer verweight teenagers.

Fr years, yu've been tld that stress can be deadly and is smething t be avided. Therefre, an anxius situatin is ften accmpanied by a sense f fear. Hwever, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects n yur health are nt unavidable.
One study fllwed 30, 000 peple ver eight years and measured their stress levels. Thse wh believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than thse wh were under stress but didn't acknwledge the s-called negative effects. The latter grup was healthier, and many f them lived lng, happy lives.
Stressful feelings start ut in a small regin f the brain that affects hw peple feel emtins, especially fear. The small regin is very sensitive t pssible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings f fear r stress can result. These feelings give peple a warning message when they need t pay attentin and when they need t take actin. Fr instance, when the sight f a speeding car triggers (触发) the regin t release a lightning-fast message, we knw immediately t mve ut f the way!

13.What d we knw abut stress frm paragraph 3?
A. Stress is harmful t the brain.B. Stress can cause danger.
C. Stress can be a threat t us.D. Stress can lead t timely actin.
14.What can we learn frm Dr. McGnigal's study?

Earth is far mre alive than we previusly thught, accrding t “deep life” studies that reveal a rich undergrund ecsystem beneath ur feet that is almst twice the size f all the wrld’s ceans. Despite extreme heat, n light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billin and 23 billin tnnes f micrrganisms. “It’s like finding a whle new reservir (储藏) f life n Earth,” said Karen Llyd an assciate prfessr at the University f Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent f Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One rganism fund 2.5 kilmeters belw the surface has been buried fr millins f years and may nt rely at all n energy frm the sun. Als, the methangen (产甲烷菌) has fund a way t create methane in this envirnment, which the methangen may nt use t reprduce r divide, but use t replace r repair brken parts. Lengths f their lives were cmpletely different. Sme micrrganisms have been alive fr thusands f years, barely mving except with shifts in earthquakes r eruptins. They’re just active inside, with less energy than peple thught pssible t supprt life.
The team cnsists f 1,200 scientists frm 52 cuntries in disciplines ranging frm gelgy and micrbilgy t chemistry and physics. A year befre the cnclusin f their study, they will present the findings befre the American Gephysical Unin’s annual meeting pens this week, which they say are made pssible by technical advances n drills and micrscpes.
The scientists have been wndering abut the pint beynd which life cannt exist, but the deeper they dig, the mre life they find. There is a temperature maximum—currently 122℃—but they believe this recrd will be brken if they keep explring and develping mre advanced instruments.
Questins remain, including hw the micrbes interact with chemical prcesses, and what this might reveal abut hw life and Earth cevlved.
16.What d the scientists find abut the undergrund rganisms?
A. They can’t reprduce and divide.
B. They’re the ldest living things.
C. Sme f them cnsume n energy.
D. Sme f them almst always keep still.
17.What can we learn abut the research frm paragraph 3?
A. It last fr arund ne year.
B. It invlves effrts frm many fields.
C. It prmtes technical develpment.
D. It is cnducted in 52 cuntries.
18.Why des the scientists dig deep?
A. T break their previus recrd.
B. T find the depth limit f life.
C. T discver mre ancient micrrganisms.
D. T measure the highest subsurface temperature.
19.Which f the fllwing can be the best title?
A. Earth Depths Are Full f Life.
B. Organisms Live Better Undergrund.
C. Earth Is Fat Beynd Human Explratin.
D. Subsurface Life Differs frm That n Land.

A new study shws that getting half f American 8-t 11-year-lds int 25 minutes f physical activity three times a week wuld save ＄21.9 billin in medical csts ver their lifetimes.
The increase frm the current 32 percent t 50 percent f kids taking part in exercise, active play, r sprts wuld als result in 340,000 fewer verweight teenagers.
"Physical activity nt nly makes kids feel better and helps them develp healthy habits, it's als gd fr the natin's bttm line," says Bruce Y. Lee, executive directr f the Glbal Obesity Preventin Center at Jhns Hpkins University. "Our findings shw that encuraging exercise and investing in physical activity when kids are yung pays big dividends as they grw up."
The study, published in the jurnal Health Affairs, suggests an even bigger advantage if every 8 t 11-year-ld in the United States exercised 75 minutes ver three times in a week. In that case, the researchers estimate(估计), ＄62.3 billin in medical csts ver the curse f their lifetimes culd be avided and 1.2 millin fewer yuths wuld be verweight. And the mney wuld increase if nt just current 8-t-11 year lds, but every future elementary schl child jined their game.
Exercise at least 25 minutes a day, three days a week, is a guideline develped fr kids by the Sprts and Fitness Industry Assciatin. An verweight persn's lifetime medical csts average ＄62,331. Fr the verweight persn, these amunts are great.
"Even a little increase in physical activity culd cause billins f dllars in savings," Lee says. He als says there are ther benefits f physical activity that dn't affect weight, such as imprving bne density, imprving md, and building muscle.
Lee says "We need t be adding physical educatin prgrams and nt cutting them. We need t encurage kids t be active, t reduce screen time and get them running arund again. It's imprtant fr their physical health and the natin's financial(经济的) health."

Fr years, yu've been tld that stress can be deadly and is smething t be avided. Therefre, an anxius situatin is ften accmpanied by a sense f fear. Hwever, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects n yur health are nt unavidable.
One study fllwed 30, 000 peple ver eight years and measured their stress levels. Thse wh believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than thse wh were under stress but didn't acknwledge the s-called negative effects. The latter grup was healthier, and many f them lived lng, happy lives.
Stressful feelings start ut in a small regin f the brain that affects hw peple feel emtins, especially fear. The small regin is very sensitive t pssible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings f fear r stress can result. These feelings give peple a warning message when they need t pay attentin and when they need t take actin. Fr instance, when the sight f a speeding car triggers (触发) the regin t release a lightning-fast message, we knw immediately t mve ut f the way!
Anther study carried by Health psychlgist Dr. McGnigal fund a link between stress and the amunt f sympathy peple shwed t thers. Researchers tracked 1, 000 adults, their descriptins f the level f stress in their lives and the amunt f time spent helping thers. With each majr stressful event, such as a family tragedy r financial crisis, the risk f dying increased by 30 percent. But fr the grup wh spent time helping thers, there was n increase in stress-related deaths, even fr thse wh had faced their wn persnal tragedies. Accrding t Dr. McGnigal, "Chasing meaning is better fr yur health than trying t avid discmfrt.

Earth is far mre alive than we previusly thught, accrding t “deep life” studies that reveal a rich undergrund ecsystem beneath ur feet that is almst twice the size f all the wrld’s ceans. Despite extreme heat, n light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billin and 23 billin tnnes f micrrganisms. “It’s like finding a whle new reservir (储藏) f life n Earth,” said Karen Llyd an assciate prfessr at the University f Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent f Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One rganism fund 2.5 kilmeters belw the surface has been buried fr millins f years and may nt rely at all n energy frm the sun. Als, the methangen (产甲烷菌) has fund a way t create methane in this envirnment, which the methangen may nt use t reprduce r divide, but use t replace r repair brken parts. Lengths f their lives were cmpletely different. Sme micrrganisms have been alive fr thusands f years, barely mving except with shifts in earthquakes r eruptins. They’re just active inside, with less energy than peple thught pssible t supprt life.
The team cnsists f 1,200 scientists frm 52 cuntries in disciplines ranging frm gelgy and micrbilgy t chemistry and physics. A year befre the cnclusin f their study, they will present the findings befre the American Gephysical Unin’s annual meeting pens this week, which they say are made pssible by technical advances n drills and micrscpes.
The scientists have been wndering abut the pint beynd which life cannt exist, but the deeper they dig, the mre life they find. There is a temperature maximum—currently 122℃—but they believe this recrd will be brken if they keep explring and develping mre advanced instruments.
Questins remain, including hw the micrbes interact with chemical prcesses, and what this might reveal abut hw life and Earth cevlved.
16.What d the scientists find abut the undergrund rganisms?
A. They can’t reprduce and divide.
B. They’re the ldest living things.
C. Sme f them cnsume n energy.
D. Sme f them almst always keep still.
17.What can we learn abut the research frm paragraph 3?
A. It last fr arund ne year.
B. It invlves effrts frm many fields.
C. It prmtes technical develpment.
D. It is cnducted in 52 cuntries.
18.Why des the scientists dig deep?
A. T break their previus recrd.
B. T find the depth limit f life.
C. T discver mre ancient micrrganisms.
D. T measure the highest subsurface temperature.
19.Which f the fllwing can be the best title?
