New research has fund that peple with mild cgnitive impairment (认知损坏) may nt necessarily develp dementia ( 痴 呆 ) and, in fact, having higher educatin and advanced language skills mre than dubles their chances f returning t nrmal.
The study, led by researchers at the University f Waterl, may reassure thse with mild cgnitive impairment as it cntradicts a cmmn assumptin that the cnditin is simply an early stage f dementia. Peple with mild cgnitive impairment shw signs f cgnitive decline, but nt enugh t prevent them frm perfrming typical daily tasks. They have been cnsidered at higher risk f prgressing t the mre severe cgnitive decline seen in dementia.
“Pssessing high cgnitive reserve, based n educatin, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after smene receives a diagnsis f mild cgnitive impairment,” said Suzanne Tyas, a prfessr in the Schl f Public Health Sciences at Waterl and lead authr. “Even after cnsidering age, genetics and established risk factrs fr dementia, we fund that higher levels f educatin mre than dubled the chances that peple with mild cgnitive impairment wuld return t nrmal cgnitin instead f prgressing t dementia.”
The study’s findings have meanings fr treatment and research in peple with mild cgnitive impairment.
“If individuals with higher cgnitive reserve are mre likely t imprve even withut treatment, then this needs t be taken int cnsideratin when recruiting participants fr clinical trials f prspective treatments and when interpreting the results f these trials,” Tyas said, adding there’s n cure fr mst causes f dementia, s preventin is key.

Researchers frm The University f Queensland(UQ) have helped design an app t prtect birds at risk f extinctin acrss the wrld by breaking dwn language barriers between scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help prvide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital infrmatin is shared t imprve wrldwide cnservatin.
UQ’s Dr Pabl Negret said the research team analysed mre than 10,000 bird species, and fund that 1,587 species have 10 languages r mre spken within their distributins. “Scientific infrmatin n species can be spread acrss different languages, but valuable infrmatin can g missing r get lst in translatin,” Dr Negret said. “Withut enugh sharing f infrmatin, this can affect the effectiveness f cnservatin measures.”
Take the cmmn bird pchard fr example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种) and crsses
108 cuntries in Eurpe, Asia and nrth Africa, where a ttal f 75 fficial languages are spken. The survival f the cmmn pchard, and s many ther species, depends n effective cperatin and plicy agreements amng peple with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrunds.
This app reveals where threatened and migratry birds(候鸟) exist gegraphically, in relatin t the
language spken in thse regins. “We hpe the app will encurage researchers and cnservatin rganisatins t interact with their peers in ther regins, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting pint t allw everyne t wrk tgether t prtect threatened species,” Dr Negret said.
Dr Tatsuya Aman, a researcher and the c-authr f the paper, said this wrk culd extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they're mammals, amphibians( 两 栖 动 物 ), r plants, with a range crssing multiple cuntries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate acrss different cuntries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said. “The significance f the impact f pr
cmmunicatin n such an imprtant issue is evident, and is the reasn why we’re wrking hard t imprve science cmmunicatin acrss languages.”
32．Hw can the app help scientists glbally?
A．By creating language barriers.B．By building language bridges. C．By sharing learning methds.D．By breaking dwn race barriers. 33．What is the functin f adequate sharing f infrmatin?
Ensuring the effectiveness f prtective measures.
Helping peple knw mre abut scientists' effrts. C．Spreading knwledge f the diversity f birds wrldwide. D．Cmprmising the effectiveness f cnservatin measures. 34．What is shwn n the app?
A．The prducer f the app.B．The rganizatins invlved.
C．The lcatin f endangered birds.D．The infrmatin f new gegraphers. 35．What can be the best title fr the text?
A．Birds Prtectin Is an UrgencyB．New Bird App Spreads Its Wings
