(2025·河北高三二模) Making it to 100 years old is a big achievement on its own, but being active at that age is absolutely worthy of praise and admiration. Jayne Burns, who just turned 101 years old, still has a part-time job at a craft store in Ohio, drives herself to work, and simply doesn't see herself retiring anytime soon. Not only does she seem to love keeping busy, but she credits it as one of her secrets to living a long life.
Burns first caught the internet's attention on TikTok. There, her coworker Maggie HusVar told her followers about her then 98-year-old friend. Maggie then asked Burns to share a piece of advice with her new fans, to whom Burns said, “Keep moving.”
The senior woman recently celebrated her 101st birthday, and she certainly hasn't changed her mind about slowing down. Burns took the job in 1997 after her husband died, and has expressed that she enjoys what she does, so she wants to keep doing it. “I'll work for as long as I can or as long as they'll have me，” she said.
In celebration of her milestone birthday, Burns recently shared some more tips for a long life. “I was always active all my life doing things. So I think that has helped more than anything.” As a cancer survivor, she said she used to watch her sugar intake, but she doesn't anymore, as she loves sweets. Despite her age, she still follows a beauty routine. “I use a moisturizer (保湿霜) and makeup. I figured I did it all my life, so I'm ‘not’ going to stop now，” she says.
Overall, her top secret for a long life is to make friends and find happiness in the company of others. “It's important to find people who are friendly and kind.” she says. “I enjoy talking to everybody I work with, and meeting the customers who are very nice, even if some of them are surprised to see me at the cutting table.”

(2025·1月八省联考)Want to learn a new language or get A's in college exams Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory. A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.
Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning.
Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested.
Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity. The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately. Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned.
According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying. But why That's one question the researchers have yet to answer. Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning. I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout. But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning.
5．What did the new study aim to explore？(　　)
A．When exercise is best for learning.
B．What biochemicals are good for health.
C．How brainwaves should be measured.
D．Which area of the brain is the most active.
答案：A　
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.”可知，新研究旨在探索什么时候锻炼最有利于学习。故选A。
6．What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment？(　　)
A．Train on bicycles. B．Do mathematics exercises.
C．Play computer games. D．Watch films about nature.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries”可知，实验要求所有受试者在实验过程中观看自然纪录片。故选D。
7．Why did the participants return to the lab two days later？(　　)
A．To do a medical examination. B．To have their memory tested.
C．To get their workouts recorded. D．To finish their previous tasks.
答案：B　
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test”可知，参与者两天后返回实验室是为了进行记忆测试。故选B。
8．What might the author's marathon running prove？(　　)
A．The findings of the study are reliable.
B．Long-distance runners are often smart.
C．Studies on the marathon are not enough.
D．Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain.
答案：D　
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.”可知，作者通过自己跑马拉松的经历证明，剧烈的锻炼可能不会使大脑变得敏锐。故选D。
