Many environmental and behavioral factors can affect the body’s internal clocks, which control various body functions. However, modern life can throw off these biological times, increasing our sensitivity to different conditions. Light, a major factor affecting the body’s internal clocks, has long been linked to various health impacts. This is evidenced in populations like shift workers, who face a higher risk of heart disease due to night-time light exposure.
Previous studies that used satellite data found associations between people living in bright, urban areas and heart disease, but they only measured outdoor light at night. Daniel Windred at Flinders University and his colleagues wanted to know whether an individual’s overall light exposure was associated with heart problems.
They tracked about 89, 000 people without heart disease who wore light sensors for one week between 2013 and 2016, which is the biggest study of personal light exposure patterns and heart health to date. The sensors recorded any natural or artificial light from their environment, including that from phones. Over years, those with the brightest nights had a higher risk of developing heart disease than those with dark nights. One representative case in the highest light exposure group would be someone who turned on overhead lights for an hour between midnight and 6 am. “This means they have among the highest night light exposure — within the top 10% of all participants,” says Windred. He adds that the body continues to react to an artificial light after it has been turned off, and even short exposures can have an effect.
The researchers controlled for factors like gender, age, smoking, and shift work. They also showed that the association between light exposure and heart disease risk was independent of sleep duration or quality, pointing to night light exposure as the key driver of the results.
“The importance of these observations cannot be underestimated,” says Martin Young at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “With the coming of a society that operates around the clock, disturbing our biological clock systems has become more and more common. This study highlights the significant health dangers associated with exposure to light at the wrong time.”
1. How are the health impacts of light exposure presented in the first paragraph
A. By providing data. B. By citing a document.
C. By giving an example. D. By making an assumption.
2. What does paragraph 2 stress about previous studies
A. Their limitation. B. Their goal.
C. Their uniqueness. D. Their process.
3. Why is the case in paragraph 3 mentioned

A new major study suggests that maintaining healthy eating habits in midlife is linked to better aging in later years. Conducted by researchers from Harvard, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Montreal, this study does not just focus on living a long life. Instead, it looks at “healthy aging,” which is defined as living to age 70 or older without major chronic diseases while maintaining good cognitive, physical, and mental health.
The team observed over 105,000 female and male health professionals in midlife for 30 years. Participants regularly completed detailed dietary questionnaires. The researchers scored these answers based on eight different healthy dietary patterns. These patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet, generally encourage high intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting red and processed meats. They also carefully examined the amount of ultra-processed foods participants consumed.
The results are promising. A total of 9.3% of the population aged healthily. Overall, those who stuck to any of these healthy dietary patterns were more likely to age well. The top performer was the AHEI diet. People with high scores were much more likely to live past 70 in good health than those with low scores. Another strong option was the PHDI, which emphasizes plant-based foods while considering planetary health. In contrast, eating too much processed meat and sugary drinks lowered the chances of healthy aging.
The researchers emphasize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet. Healthy diets can be adapted to fit individual needs and preferences. The main goal is to eat mostly plant-based foods with a moderate inclusion of healthy animal products. This flexibility helps people maintain an independent and active quality of life as they age, which is a priority for both individuals and public health.
However, the study has some limitations. The participants were all health professionals, meaning their socioeconomic status and education levels might be higher than average. To apply the results more widely, future studies should repeat the research in populations with more diverse backgrounds.
5. How does the study define “healthy aging”
A. By living a long life without any illnesses.
B. By maintaining physical and mental health at 70.
C. By following a strict diet plan in midlife.
D. By avoiding animal-based foods totally.
6. What is a common feature of the recommended dietary patterns
A. They are high in red meat intake.
B. They strictly exclude all dairy products.
C. They encourage eating more plant-based foods.
D. They focus mainly on environmental protection.
7. What does the author suggest about healthy diets
A. They require people to eat the same foods.
B. They can be adapted to individual needs.
C. They are difficult to follow for young people.
D. They are better than medicine for diseases.
8. Why does the author mention the study’s limitation
A. To prove the study is unscientific.
B. To suggest the need for more diverse subjects.
C. To show health professionals eat poorly.
D. To indicate the diet is harmful.
【答案】5. B 6. C 7. B 8. B
【解析】

Some check watches or phone apps to know the time, but few realize our bodies have an internal clock — our circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Disrupted rhythms are linked to illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes and cancer, and drug effects vary significantly by administration time. This connection between treatment time and health outcomes has generated a specialized approach: chronotherapy.
The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs’ activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are “asleep” could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 am instead of 6 pm experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 am generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.
Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone’s internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany’s BodlyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.
These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.
By making use of our circadian rhythm - through timed treatments and rhythm - aware living - we can unlock longer, healthier lives.
9. What was Francis Lévi’s exploration of cancer treatment based on
A. The different patterns of cell division.
B. The time when cancer cells divide slowly.
C. The measurement of patients’ sleep habits.
D. The insight of traditional Chinese medicine.
10. What do Paragraphs 3 and 4 suggest about chronotherapy
A. It is widely used in medical practice.
B. It is limited by measurement problems.
C. It relies on traditional rhythm assessment.
D. Its effectiveness is tied to treatment timing.
11. Which is a good daily application of circadian rhythm
A. Avoiding regular melatonin supplements. B. Getting treatment when healthy cells sleep.
C. Adapting daily routines to natural rhythms. D. Following regular lifestyle for physical health.
12. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Follow Your Circadian Rhythm B. Build a Healthy Internal Clock
C. Pursue a True Healthy Lifestyle D. Explore Chemotherapy Approaches
【答案】9. D 10. D 11. C 12. A

An international team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the Universidad Europea in Spain discovered that sustained walking sessions offer stronger protection for heart health than fragmented (碎片化的) activity.
“There is a perception that health professionals have recommended walking 10,000 steps a day should be the goal, but this isn’t a must — that is also hard to achieve for most people nowadays. Simply adding one or two longer walks per day, each lasting at least 10 — 15minutes at a comfortable but steady pace, can have significant benefits — especially for people who don’t walk much,” explained co-lead author Dr. Matthew Ahmadi.
The study involved 33,560 adults between the ages of 40 and 79 who typically walked fewer than 8,000 steps a day and had no history of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease or cancer. Participants wore research- grade wristbands for one week to record both their step counts and how their steps were distributed throughout the day. Researchers followed their health outcomes for about eight years, and found striking differences in cardiovascular risk between those who walked in short versus longer sessions.
People who walked continuously for 10 — 15 minutes daily had only a 4 percent chance of experiencing cardiovascular events, compared to a 13 percent risk among those who walked continuously for just 5 minutes a day. The benefits were greatest for the least active individuals, particularly those taking 5,000 steps or fewer. Within this group, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease fell from 15 percent among short walkers to 7 percent among those who walked up to15 minutes at a time.
Senior Professor Emmanuel Stamakis noted, “We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but overlook the crucial role of patterns, for example how walking is done. This study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by walking for longer at a time, preferably for at least 10 — 15 minutes, when possible. ”
13. Which of the following does Dr. Matthew Ahmadi consider challenging
A. Walking at a comfortable but steady pace.
B. Reaching the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day.
C. Placing an emphasis on sustained walking sessions.
D. Spending at least ten minutes on a walking session.
14. Why were participants asked to wear wristbands
A To collect their walking data. B. To monitor their heart health.
C. To remind them to walk more. D. To track suitable walking routes.
15. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By quoting experts. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order. D. By listing fictional examples.
16 What does Emmanuel Stanamatakis probably suggest inactive people do
A. Adjust their walking patterns. B. Shorten their walking time slowly.
C. Prioritize daily fragmented activity. D. Maximize the total amount of walking.
【答案】13. B 14. A 15. B 16. A

Novelist Virginia Woolf, like all writers, faced the challenge when preparing to write or speak: How do you draw out from the swirl (漩涡) of your thoughts a worthy insight What kind of catch can you get to reward your audience Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue (暗示) from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words.
According to the latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. Why The theory is that wandering brains are not wandering at all. They are busy with thought development — linking each thought to associated ones, restructuring how your mind represents thoughts, weakening the hold on your attention of irrelevant thoughts, and more. The benefits of wandering show up in a study published in 2025. Researchers asked people to take 10 minutes to write a fictional story based on a cue. Before people began writing, the researchers divided people into groups. They asked one group to take a break to let their minds wander. They gave another group no break at all. The cue gave plenty of room for creativity. But the people in the mind-wandering group turned in the most creative stories. They exhibited more diverse flow in thinking and, interestingly, higher ratings of creativity. The effect was slight but significant.
The experiment also showed something else: Staying too busy puts you at a disadvantage. The people asked to take a “busy” break — spending 10 minutes on a spot-the-difference task — were less than half as likely to gain the problem-solving insight as the wandering group. Apparently, engaging in this kind of break while occupying working memory is self-defeating.
If this approach works, what form works best Many scientists theorize that sleep offers the biggest return. When people had to solve matchstick problems, in which they were challenged to rearrange a set of sticks, they did a lot better after they got a nap (小睡). However, not all experiments show that sleeping on a problem works so neatly. The benefit may depend on both the stage of sleep you fall into and the kind of problem you need to solve.
Overall, if you need an insight, channel Virginia Woolf: Drop your line into the swirl of your unconscious. When you feel a pull, while napping or not, grab it. What began as a flash of an idea may well have grown into something truly remarkable.
17. What does the word “incubation” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. A state of deep focus. B. A time of restful waiting.
C. A period of hard thinking. D. A moment of sudden insight.
18. What can we learn from this passage
A. The brain stops working when the mind wanders.
B. “Busy” breaks help people solve problems.

C. How to Sleep Your Way to Insight D. How to Train Your Brain to Wander
【答案】17. B 18. D 19. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过休息和放空大脑来激发创造力和解决问题的方法。
【17题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words.(她的方法是让自己沉浸其中。当你词穷理绝时，借鉴她的方法或许能帮到你)”以及第二段中“According to the latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. Why The theory is that wandering brains are not wandering at all. They are busy with thought development — linking each thought to associated ones, restructuring how your mind represents thoughts, weakening the hold on your attention of irrelevant thoughts, and more.(根据最新的对照研究，一段休息时间能激发创意。为何如此？理论认为，徘徊的大脑其实根本不是在徘徊。它们正忙于思维发展——将每个想法与相关联的想法联系起来，重构你的大脑表征思维的方式，削弱无关想法对你注意力的控制，等等)”可知，Virginia Woolf在写作或演讲前会让自己进入一种放松等待的状态，而研究表明，休息时间有助于发展创造性想法，因为大脑在放空时并非真正放空，而是在忙碌地进行思维发展。由此可知，incubation指的是一种休息等待的状态，以便让大脑进行思维发展。因此，选项B“A time of restful waiting.”符合题意。故选B。
【18题详解】

Magnesium (镁) is “the relaxation mineral” and a critical nutrient involved in at least 300 enzyme (酶) reactions within the human body — and according to some studies, up to 600. This means magnesium is fundamental for muscle and nerve function, regulating blood sugar and blood pressure, and producing protein, bone, and DNA. Given its central role in so many physiological functions, it’s clear why a magnesium insufficiency can lead to symptoms such as tiredness, muscle pains, mental issues, irregular heart rhythms, and increased stress.
However, many people aren’t getting enough magnesium. According to experts like Mark Hyman, MD, a leader in functional medicine, there are multiple reasons we’re not getting the recommended amounts of magnesium. Primarily, our meals are more processed and less nutrient-dense than ever before. Furthermore, the soil where our food grows is increasingly stripped of (剥夺) magnesium. Adding to this issue, our consumption of coffee, alcohol, and sugar, all of which can reduce magnesium levels, is also on the rise.
So by the time you see your doctor for muscle pains, poor sleep, unexplained weight problems,urinary (泌尿的) issues or another symptom of low magnesium, it’s likely you’ll discuss much magnesium you should take per day, and the best ways to get more magnesium.
The National Institutes of Health has set the upper limit of magnesium that you should take in addition form at 350 milligrams. Dr. Hyman suggests a daily supplemental magnesium intake of 300 milligrams. However, consult your healthcare provider to determine the proper amount for your unique needs, as some individuals may benefit from higher amounts.
Magnesium supplements can work, but experts suggest adding magnesium-rich foods to your diet is the best way to increase magnesium intake. These include dark leafy greens (spinach, kale), nuts and seeds (pumpkin seeds, almonds, chia seeds), whole grains (brown rice, quinoa), legumes (black beans, chickpeas), avocado, and dark chocolate. Additionally, an Epsom salt bath is a relaxing way to absorb magnesium through the skin.

Chronic sleeplessness is much more harmful than occasional bad sleep. Over time, it can weaken memory and mental sharpness. A new study, published on a Wednesday in Neurology (the journal of the American Academy of Neurology), found that older adults with long-term insomnia have faster brain aging. Researchers saw these changes through cognitive tests and brain scans that showed altered brain structure.
The study followed 2,750 mentally healthy adults (average age about 70) for 5.6 years on average. Each year, participants took tests on executive function, visual-spatial reasoning, and other cognitive skills. Results showed 14% of those with chronic insomnia later developed mild cognitive problems or dementia, while only 10% of those without insomnia did. Researchers said this difference was significant. They estimated that chronic insomnia makes the brain seem about 3.5 years older, based on normal cognitive performance and brain biomarker levels for different age groups.
Diego Z. Carvalho, a sleep-medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic and the study’s lead writer, said the findings add more evidence that not-so-good sleep — even in middle age — may be an early sign of brain degeneration. But he stressed the study only shows a link, not a cause-and-effect relationship. “Poor sleep early on could also be an early sign of cognitive decline,” Carvalho noted.
Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo, a neurology resident at Yale New Haven Hospital who didn’t join the research, pointed out a key fact: insomniacs who slept fewer hours did worse on cognitive tests and had more brain changes. If future studies prove this, ways to protect long-term brain health may need to consider both sleep quality and total sleep time.
In the past 10 years, research on sleep and brain health has grown a lot. It shows links between bad sleep and conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. A major 2021 study in JAMA Neurology found that sleeping less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours (outside the ideal 7-8-hour range) was linked to cognitive troubles, higher body mass index, and more depressive symptoms.
Karin G. Johnson, a sleep neurologist in Springfield, Massachusetts, said such findings are quite new in her field. She explained that enough sleep is key because the brain’s waste-clearing system follows daily rhythms and works best during sleep. Johnson hopes encouraging better sleep habits in young people will make the whole population healthier. She also supports policy changes, like later school start times, to let people get enough rest and build a strong base for long-term brain health.
24. Which of the following is a detail about the process of the new study published in Neurology
A. The study followed 2,750 adults with mild cognitive impairment for 5.6 years.
B. Participants were tested once every two years on their cognitive abilities.
C. The researchers only used cognitive tests to detect brain changes in participants.
D. The average age of the cognitively healthy participants was about 70 years.

As a perfect example of contradictory ideas, “barefoot shoes” is in a class of its own. Otherwise referred to as “minimalist footwear”, these shoes are designed to reproduce the experience of not wearing shoes. By returning to something closer to the barefoot experience, the argument goes, runners can improve their health and reduce injuries.
Evolution (进化论) is one line of argument. After all, humans have been running barefoot for millions of years. Modern trainers, with their cushioned soles (缓冲鞋底), chunky (厚实的) heels and arch supports, date back only to the 1970s.
Supporters of barefoot shoes argue that modern footwear makes runners’ feet weak. For example, over 75% of athletes wearing conventional shoes use a rearfoot strike — where the heel hits the ground first. For barefoot runners, or those in minimalist shoes, the numbers are 40% and 67% respectively. The difference is largely because of the shoe design. Chunkier heels hit the ground earlier and a cushioned sole protects the heel from the otherwise painful impact of a rearfoot strike. Barefoot runners rely on the foot’s inbuilt suspension system to reduce that impact.
Such slight changes to the mechanics of running can have big effects on the body. One small study in 2021 found that six months of wearing minimalist footwear can increase toe-muscle (脚趾肌肉) strength by 57%. Another, from 2018, reported a 40% increase in just eight weeks. Those accustomed to walking and running barefoot — such as the Kalenjin tribe in Kenya— have thicker foot muscles and improved ankle mobility.
Supporters say that running in barefoot shoes should therefore mean fewer injuries. But no study has yet confirmed that. The evidence, both for and against, is inconclusive, with most studies examining only small numbers of people. Some scientists worry about increased loads on the ankle. Others suggest barefoot running may actually increase rates of injury, particularly on hard surfaces, or if the switch occurs too quickly. One ten-week study found almost half of runners switching to barefoot shoes showed signs of a fluid build-up often caused by stress on the foot. “The most important thing,” says Ali Ghoz, a surgeon at the London Clinic, “is a gradual introduction.”
28. Why do most runners in conventional shoes use a rearfoot strike
A. It helps to strengthen toe muscles.
B. It is encouraged by the shoe design.
C. It is the most comfortable running style.
D. It is widely adopted by barefoot runners.

9.（2026·江苏四市·联考）
Sauerkraut (酸菜) has long been a bit player in the American diet, just serving as a side topping on the sandwich. But its time in the spotlight may be here. An increasing number of nutrition scientists and food companies want us to eat more fermented (发酵的) foods like yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut.
A growing body of scientific research is finding that fermented foods benefit health. When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet high in a range of fermented foods, they found their microbiomes (微生物组) became more diverse and the levels of certain inflammation (炎症) markers decreased. Maria Marco, a professor at the University of California, found in lab that sauerkraut contains more compounds that protect the lining of the gut than raw cabbage does. This could help explain the anti-inflammatory effect of fermented vegetables. The fermentation process can change the nutritional content of food by, for example, increasing the amount of some vitamins. Nutrition scientists say it can also make nutrients easier for the body to absorb.
Growing concern in gut health and desire for less-processed products are driving consumers’ interest, said Stephanie Mattucci, principal strategist at market research firm Mintel. More companies are embracing fermentation, in which beneficial microbes are used to change food and drinks. To deal with the strong flavor of many fermented foods, some companies are even creating milder versions to win over more people. According to NielsenIQ, sales of fermented foods and ingredients reached $61.17 billion in the 52 weeks ending Oct. 4, up about 27% from the comparable period four years ago.
“But there’s still a lot that scientists need to learn about fermented foods,” said Dalia Perelman, a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian at Stanford. “We’re trying to figure out if some are better for you than others, if there is a best type of fermentation and what exactly it is about these foods that makes people healthy.”
32. How was Sauerkraut traditionally viewed in the Americans’ diet before
A. Rare. B. Trendy. C. Minor. D. Worthless.
33. How does the author show the benefits of fermented foods
A. By studying cases. B. By analyzing the cause.
C. By providing examples. D. By presenting research results.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. The market sales double annually.
B. Milder versions are more nutritious.
C. Fermented foods are gaining popularity.
D. Consumers worry about less-processed food.
35. What can be inferred from Dalia Perelman’s words
A. Much research remains to be done.
B. The best version has been produced.
C. Clear reasons for health benefits have been found.
D. Different fermented foods have equal health benefits.

It is widely known that our bodies react quickly when we face danger. Our heart beats faster, our appetite drops, and our blood sugar rises to provide energy. Scientists used to believe that this process was mainly controlled by stress hormones (激素) in the body. However, a new study has found that the brain itself may play a direct role in changing body energy during stress.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine studied mice to explore how the brain controls energy when they are under stress. By using special tools to observe brain activity, they discovered that a small brain area, which helps deal with fear, sends messages to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus then tells the liver (肝脏) to make more sugar for the body to use.
The study revealed that this “brain-to-liver line” works even without the usual stress hormones. In other words, brain activity caused a fast rise in blood sugar through nerve signals rather than slow chemical messengers. The brain can raise blood sugar directly through nerve signals (神经信号) . When scientists turned this brain line on in mice, their blood sugar went up right away. But when stress happened again and again, the line became weaker and blood sugar stayed high for a long time — similar to the early stage of diabetes (糖尿病) . One scientist said, “The brain can prepare the body for action much faster than we thought.”
This finding helps us understand the close connection between the brain, emotion, and body health. It suggests that long- term stress could harm the nerve system that keeps blood sugar balanced, leading to health problems like diabetes or weight gain. In the future, learning how to care for both our mind and body may become an important way to prevent stress-related diseases.
36. What is the new finding about the stress response
A. It only raises sugar levels for a while. B. It fully relies on the heart for energy use.
C. It directly uses the brain to control energy. D. It mainly depends on stress hormones.
37. How did researchers conduct the experiment
A. By monitoring brain signals in mice. B. By observing the mouse behavior only.
C. By measuring changes in blood sugar. D. By analyzing stress hormones in the liver.
38. What can be inferred about repeated stress according to the study
A. It lowers the risk of diabetes. B. It affects chemical messengers.
C. It causes lasting high blood sugar. D. It strengthens brain functions.

Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the panion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物)found in the guts (肠道)of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioral differences.
The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物)that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems.
The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates.
Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.
40. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Overcome. B. Replace. C. Balance. D. Reduce.
41. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The differences between teenage dog owners and non-owners.
B. The design and participant selection of the experiment.
C. The biological basis and motivation for the research.
D. The role of gut microbes in shaping brain activity.
42. Why did the researchers conduct experiments on mice
A Dog owners show fewer social problems.
B. Teenagers were more difficult to study directly.
C. Human experiments may raise ethical concerns.
D. Mice can behave more actively in group interaction.
43. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Mouse-human comparisons may have limits in brain research.
B. Spending time with dogs may contribute to mental well-being.
C. Developing a healthy mind depends on careful self-reflection.
D. Psychological health requires changes in biological systems.

With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects.(大脑并不是独立存在的。在其他地方发现的微生物，尤其是在肠道内的微生物，会产生影响大脑运作的化合物。考虑到这一点，菊水武文博士想知道，从狗身上转移的微生物是否有助于给主人带来心理益处。为了找到答案，他在东京对343名参与者进行了一项实验，特别关注青少年，因为青春期是大脑发育的关键时期，此时的社交互动往往会对心理产生持久影响)”可知，该段首先介绍了研究的生物学基础（肠道微生物影响大脑运作），接着说明研究的动机（探究狗的微生物转移是否带来心理益处），还提及了实验的设置，核心是阐述研究的生物学基础和动机。故选C项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice.(下一步本应是将与狗相关的微生物直接引入不养狗的青少年体内。由于这处于伦理灰色地带，菊水博士转而用老鼠进行实验)”可知，直接对人类青少年进行实验可能会引发伦理方面的担忧，所以研究人员选择用老鼠做实验。故选C项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.(菊水博士承认，直接比较老鼠和人类并不完美，但他的研究结果仍然表明，养狗带来的微生物变化会影响大脑。如果这些结论成立，那么通往更健康心智的道路似乎可能不是始于仔细的自我反思，而是始于狗的陪伴)”可推断，与狗相处可能有助于心理健康。故选B项。

Illnesses caused by heat-dehydration, cramps (抽筋), and even strokes-can come on quickly and quietly. After 10 straight hours picking grapes on a burning 105°F day, 53-year-old Asunción Valdivia collapsed and died, a victim of heat stroke. Without meaningful action, the U.S. could see 450,000 injuries per year by 2050.
Scientists have been researching ways to measure heat stress without relying on individual consciousness. For the public, widely-used wearable devices can detect skin temperature. But to determine if someone is at risk of heat stress, wearables need to measure core body temperature a capability they lack. Core body temperature measures the temperature of internal organs like the heart, liver and brain. An algorithm (算法) has been developed that estimates heat-related illness risks by measuring heart rate, skin temperature and walking patterns. Zachary Schlader, a heat stress researcher, says the most promising solutions are algorithms estimating internal body temperature, with the core body temperature algorithm being the most advanced and integrated into public products.
Early tests have shown some promise. A startup called VigiLife released a sensor, which measures heart rate, core body and skin temperatures, and then uses wearable and environmental data to offer health and safety insights. A construction firm adopted the technology and saw zero heat-related illnesses when it tried out VigiLife’s technology from May to September 2023.
However, some aren’t convinced by wearable-only solutions. Jason Glaser, the CEO of an network company, notes it’s unclear if, given access to wearable technology, workers would follow the alerts. Intense manual lab压轴题07 阅读理解C、D篇

Many environmental and behavioral factors can affect the body’s internal clocks, which control various body functions. However, modern life can throw off these biological times, increasing our sensitivity to different conditions. Light, a major factor affecting the body’s internal clocks, has long been linked to various health impacts. This is evidenced in populations like shift workers, who face a higher risk of heart disease due to night-time light exposure.
Previous studies that used satellite data found associations between people living in bright, urban areas and heart disease, but they only measured outdoor light at night. Daniel Windred at Flinders University and his colleagues wanted to know whether an individual’s overall light exposure was associated with heart problems.
They tracked about 89, 000 people without heart disease who wore light sensors for one week between 2013 and 2016, which is the biggest study of personal light exposure patterns and heart health to date. The sensors recorded any natural or artificial light from their environment, including that from phones. Over years, those with the brightest nights had a higher risk of developing heart disease than those with dark nights. One representative case in the highest light exposure group would be someone who turned on overhead lights for an hour between midnight and 6 am. “This means they have among the highest night light exposure — within the top 10% of all participants,” says Windred. He adds that the body continues to react to an artificial light after it has been turned off, and even short exposures can have an effect.
The researchers controlled for factors like gender, age, smoking, and shift work. They also showed that the association between light exposure and heart disease risk was independent of sleep duration or quality, pointing to night light exposure as the key driver of the results.
“The importance of these observations cannot be underestimated,” says Martin Young at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “With the coming of a society that operates around the clock, disturbing our biological clock systems has become more and more common. This study highlights the significant health dangers associated with exposure to light at the wrong time.”

A new major study suggests that maintaining healthy eating habits in midlife is linked to better aging in later years. Conducted by researchers from Harvard, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Montreal, this study does not just focus on living a long life. Instead, it looks at “healthy aging,” which is defined as living to age 70 or older without major chronic diseases while maintaining good cognitive, physical, and mental health.
The team observed over 105,000 female and male health professionals in midlife for 30 years. Participants regularly completed detailed dietary questionnaires. The researchers scored these answers based on eight different healthy dietary patterns. These patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet, generally encourage high intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting red and processed meats. They also carefully examined the amount of ultra-processed foods participants consumed.
The results are promising. A total of 9.3% of the population aged healthily. Overall, those who stuck to any of these healthy dietary patterns were more likely to age well. The top performer was the AHEI diet. People with high scores were much more likely to live past 70 in good health than those with low scores. Another strong option was the PHDI, which emphasizes plant-based foods while considering planetary health. In contrast, eating too much processed meat and sugary drinks lowered the chances of healthy aging.
The researchers emphasize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet. Healthy diets can be adapted to fit individual needs and preferences. The main goal is to eat mostly plant-based foods with a moderate inclusion of healthy animal products. This flexibility helps people maintain an independent and active quality of life as they age, which is a priority for both individuals and public health.
However, the study has some limitations. The participants were all health professionals, meaning their socioeconomic status and education levels might be higher than average. To apply the results more widely, future studies should repeat the research in populations with more diverse backgrounds.
5. How does the study define “healthy aging”
A. By living a long life without any illnesses.
B. By maintaining physical and mental health at 70.
C. By following a strict diet plan in midlife.
D. By avoiding animal-based foods totally.
6. What is a common feature of the recommended dietary patterns
A. They are high in red meat intake.

D. They focus mainly on environmental protection.
7. What does the author suggest about healthy diets
A. They require people to eat the same foods.
B. They can be adapted to individual needs.
C. They are difficult to follow for young people.
D. They are better than medicine for diseases.
8. Why does the author mention the study’s limitation
A. To prove the study is unscientific.
B. To suggest the need for more diverse subjects.
C. To show health professionals eat poorly.
D. To indicate the diet is harmful.

Some check watches or phone apps to know the time, but few realize our bodies have an internal clock — our circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Disrupted rhythms are linked to illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes and cancer, and drug effects vary significantly by administration time. This connection between treatment time and health outcomes has generated a specialized approach: chronotherapy.
The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs’ activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are “asleep” could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 am instead of 6 pm experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 am generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.
Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone’s internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany’s BodlyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.
These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.
By making use of our circadian rhythm - through timed treatments and rhythm - aware living - we can unlock longer, healthier lives.

An international team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the Universidad Europea in Spain discovered that sustained walking sessions offer stronger protection for heart health than fragmented (碎片化的) activity.
“There is a perception that health professionals have recommended walking 10,000 steps a day should be the goal, but this isn’t a must — that is also hard to achieve for most people nowadays. Simply adding one or two longer walks per day, each lasting at least 10 — 15minutes at a comfortable but steady pace, can have significant benefits — especially for people who don’t walk much,” explained co-lead author Dr. Matthew Ahmadi.
The study involved 33,560 adults between the ages of 40 and 79 who typically walked fewer than 8,000 steps a day and had no history of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease or cancer. Participants wore research- grade wristbands for one week to record both their step counts and how their steps were distributed throughout the day. Researchers followed their health outcomes for about eight years, and found striking differences in cardiovascular risk between those who walked in short versus longer sessions.
People who walked continuously for 10 — 15 minutes daily had only a 4 percent chance of experiencing cardiovascular events, compared to a 13 percent risk among those who walked continuously for just 5 minutes a day. The benefits were greatest for the least active individuals, particularly those taking 5,000 steps or fewer. Within this group, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease fell from 15 percent among short walkers to 7 percent among those who walked up to15 minutes at a time.
Senior Professor Emmanuel Stamakis noted, “We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but overlook the crucial role of patterns, for example how walking is done. This study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by walking for longer at a time, preferably for at least 10 — 15 minutes, when possible. ”
13. Which of the following does Dr. Matthew Ahmadi consider challenging
A. Walking at a comfortable but steady pace.
B. Reaching the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day.
C. Placing an emphasis on sustained walking sessions.
D. Spending at least ten minutes on a walking session.
14. Why were participants asked to wear wristbands
A To collect their walking data. B. To monitor their heart health.
C. To remind them to walk more. D. To track suitable walking routes.
15. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By quoting experts. B. By making comparisons.

Novelist Virginia Woolf, like all writers, faced the challenge when preparing to write or speak: How do you draw out from the swirl (漩涡) of your thoughts a worthy insight What kind of catch can you get to reward your audience Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue (暗示) from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words.
According to the latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. Why The theory is that wandering brains are not wandering at all. They are busy with thought development — linking each thought to associated ones, restructuring how your mind represents thoughts, weakening the hold on your attention of irrelevant thoughts, and more. The benefits of wandering show up in a study published in 2025. Researchers asked people to take 10 minutes to write a fictional story based on a cue. Before people began writing, the researchers divided people into groups. They asked one group to take a break to let their minds wander. They gave another group no break at all. The cue gave plenty of room for creativity. But the people in the mind-wandering group turned in the most creative stories. They exhibited more diverse flow in thinking and, interestingly, higher ratings of creativity. The effect was slight but significant.
The experiment also showed something else: Staying too busy puts you at a disadvantage. The people asked to take a “busy” break — spending 10 minutes on a spot-the-difference task — were less than half as likely to gain the problem-solving insight as the wandering group. Apparently, engaging in this kind of break while occupying working memory is self-defeating.
If this approach works, what form works best Many scientists theorize that sleep offers the biggest return. When people had to solve matchstick problems, in which they were challenged to rearrange a set of sticks, they did a lot better after they got a nap (小睡). However, not all experiments show that sleeping on a problem works so neatly. The benefit may depend on both the stage of sleep you fall into and the kind of problem you need to solve.
Overall, if you need an insight, channel Virginia Woolf: Drop your line into the swirl of your unconscious. When you feel a pull, while napping or not, grab it. What began as a flash of an idea may well have grown into something truly remarkable.
17. What does the word “incubation” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean

Magnesium (镁) is “the relaxation mineral” and a critical nutrient involved in at least 300 enzyme (酶) reactions within the human body — and according to some studies, up to 600. This means magnesium is fundamental for muscle and nerve function, regulating blood sugar and blood pressure, and producing protein, bone, and DNA. Given its central role in so many physiological functions, it’s clear why a magnesium insufficiency can lead to symptoms such as tiredness, muscle pains, mental issues, irregular heart rhythms, and increased stress.
However, many people aren’t getting enough magnesium. According to experts like Mark Hyman, MD, a leader in functional medicine, there are multiple reasons we’re not getting the recommended amounts of magnesium. Primarily, our meals are more processed and less nutrient-dense than ever before. Furthermore, the soil where our food grows is increasingly stripped of (剥夺) magnesium. Adding to this issue, our consumption of coffee, alcohol, and sugar, all of which can reduce magnesium levels, is also on the rise.
So by the time you see your doctor for muscle pains, poor sleep, unexplained weight problems,urinary (泌尿的) issues or another symptom of low magnesium, it’s likely you’ll discuss much magnesium you should take per day, and the best ways to get more magnesium.
The National Institutes of Health has set the upper limit of magnesium that you should take in addition form at 350 milligrams. Dr. Hyman suggests a daily supplemental magnesium intake of 300 milligrams. However, consult your healthcare provider to determine the proper amount for your unique needs, as some individuals may benefit from higher amounts.
Magnesium supplements can work, but experts suggest adding magnesium-rich foods to your diet is the best way to increase magnesium intake. These include dark leafy greens (spinach, kale), nuts and seeds (pumpkin seeds, almonds, chia seeds), whole grains (brown rice, quinoa), legumes (black beans, chickpeas), avocado, and dark chocolate. Additionally, an Epsom salt bath is a relaxing way to absorb magnesium through the skin.

Chronic sleeplessness is much more harmful than occasional bad sleep. Over time, it can weaken memory and mental sharpness. A new study, published on a Wednesday in Neurology (the journal of the American Academy of Neurology), found that older adults with long-term insomnia have faster brain aging. Researchers saw these changes through cognitive tests and brain scans that showed altered brain structure.
The study followed 2,750 mentally healthy adults (average age about 70) for 5.6 years on average. Each year, participants took tests on executive function, visual-spatial reasoning, and other cognitive skills. Results showed 14% of those with chronic insomnia later developed mild cognitive problems or dementia, while only 10% of those without insomnia did. Researchers said this difference was significant. They estimated that chronic insomnia makes the brain seem about 3.5 years older, based on normal cognitive performance and brain biomarker levels for different age groups.
Diego Z. Carvalho, a sleep-medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic and the study’s lead writer, said the findings add more evidence that not-so-good sleep — even in middle age — may be an early sign of brain degeneration. But he stressed the study only shows a link, not a cause-and-effect relationship. “Poor sleep early on could also be an early sign of cognitive decline,” Carvalho noted.
Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo, a neurology resident at Yale New Haven Hospital who didn’t join the research, pointed out a key fact: insomniacs who slept fewer hours did worse on cognitive tests and had more brain changes. If future studies prove this, ways to protect long-term brain health may need to consider both sleep quality and total sleep time.
In the past 10 years, research on sleep and brain health has grown a lot. It shows links between bad sleep and conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. A major 2021 study in JAMA Neurology found that sleeping less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours (outside the ideal 7-8-hour range) was linked to cognitive troubles, higher body mass index, and more depressive symptoms.
Karin G. Johnson, a sleep neurologist in Springfield, Massachusetts, said such findings are quite new in her field. She explained that enough sleep is key because the brain’s waste-clearing system follows daily rhythms and works best during sleep. Johnson hopes encouraging better sleep habits in young people will make the whole population healthier. She also supports policy changes, like later school start times, to let people get enough rest and build a strong base for long-term brain health.
24. Which of the following is a detail about the process of the new study published in Neurology
A. The study followed 2,750 adults with mild cognitive impairment for 5.6 years.
B. Participants were tested once every two years on their cognitive abilities.

As a perfect example of contradictory ideas, “barefoot shoes” is in a class of its own. Otherwise referred to as “minimalist footwear”, these shoes are designed to reproduce the experience of not wearing shoes. By returning to something closer to the barefoot experience, the argument goes, runners can improve their health and reduce injuries.
Evolution (进化论) is one line of argument. After all, humans have been running barefoot for millions of years. Modern trainers, with their cushioned soles (缓冲鞋底), chunky (厚实的) heels and arch supports, date back only to the 1970s.
Supporters of barefoot shoes argue that modern footwear makes runners’ feet weak. For example, over 75% of athletes wearing conventional shoes use a rearfoot strike — where the heel hits the ground first. For barefoot runners, or those in minimalist shoes, the numbers are 40% and 67% respectively. The difference is largely because of the shoe design. Chunkier heels hit the ground earlier and a cushioned sole protects the heel from the otherwise painful impact of a rearfoot strike. Barefoot runners rely on the foot’s inbuilt suspension system to reduce that impact.
Such slight changes to the mechanics of running can have big effects on the body. One small study in 2021 found that six months of wearing minimalist footwear can increase toe-muscle (脚趾肌肉) strength by 57%. Another, from 2018, reported a 40% increase in just eight weeks. Those accustomed to walking and running barefoot — such as the Kalenjin tribe in Kenya— have thicker foot muscles and improved ankle mobility.
Supporters say that running in barefoot shoes should therefore mean fewer injuries. But no study has yet confirmed that. The evidence, both for and against, is inconclusive, with most studies examining only small numbers of people. Some scientists worry about increased loads on the ankle. Others suggest barefoot running may actually increase rates of injury, particularly on hard surfaces, or if the switch occurs too quickly. One ten-week study found almost half of runners switching to barefoot shoes showed signs of a fluid build-up often caused by stress on the foot. “The most important thing,” says Ali Ghoz, a surgeon at the London Clinic, “is a gradual introduction.”
28. Why do most runners in conventional shoes use a rearfoot strike
A. It helps to strengthen toe muscles.
B. It is encouraged by the shoe design.
C. It is the most comfortable running style.
D. It is widely adopted by barefoot runners.

Sauerkraut (酸菜) has long been a bit player in the American diet, just serving as a side topping on the sandwich. But its time in the spotlight may be here. An increasing number of nutrition scientists and food companies want us to eat more fermented (发酵的) foods like yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut.
A growing body of scientific research is finding that fermented foods benefit health. When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet high in a range of fermented foods, they found their microbiomes (微生物组) became more diverse and the levels of certain inflammation (炎症) markers decreased. Maria Marco, a professor at the University of California, found in lab that sauerkraut contains more compounds that protect the lining of the gut than raw cabbage does. This could help explain the anti-inflammatory effect of fermented vegetables. The fermentation process can change the nutritional content of food by, for example, increasing the amount of some vitamins. Nutrition scientists say it can also make nutrients easier for the body to absorb.
Growing concern in gut health and desire for less-processed products are driving consumers’ interest, said Stephanie Mattucci, principal strategist at market research firm Mintel. More companies are embracing fermentation, in which beneficial microbes are used to change food and drinks. To deal with the strong flavor of many fermented foods, some companies are even creating milder versions to win over more people. According to NielsenIQ, sales of fermented foods and ingredients reached $61.17 billion in the 52 weeks ending Oct. 4, up about 27% from the comparable period four years ago.
“But there’s still a lot that scientists need to learn about fermented foods,” said Dalia Perelman, a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian at Stanford. “We’re trying to figure out if some are better for you than others, if there is a best type of fermentation and what exactly it is about these foods that makes people healthy.”
32. How was Sauerkraut traditionally viewed in the Americans’ diet before
A. Rare. B. Trendy. C. Minor. D. Worthless.
33. How does the author show the benefits of fermented foods
A. By studying cases. B. By analyzing the cause.
C. By providing examples. D. By presenting research results.

It is widely known that our bodies react quickly when we face danger. Our heart beats faster, our appetite drops, and our blood sugar rises to provide energy. Scientists used to believe that this process was mainly controlled by stress hormones (激素) in the body. However, a new study has found that the brain itself may play a direct role in changing body energy during stress.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine studied mice to explore how the brain controls energy when they are under stress. By using special tools to observe brain activity, they discovered that a small brain area, which helps deal with fear, sends messages to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus then tells the liver (肝脏) to make more sugar for the body to use.
The study revealed that this “brain-to-liver line” works even without the usual stress hormones. In other words, brain activity caused a fast rise in blood sugar through nerve signals rather than slow chemical messengers. The brain can raise blood sugar directly through nerve signals (神经信号) . When scientists turned this brain line on in mice, their blood sugar went up right away. But when stress happened again and again, the line became weaker and blood sugar stayed high for a long time — similar to the early stage of diabetes (糖尿病) . One scientist said, “The brain can prepare the body for action much faster than we thought.”
This finding helps us understand the close connection between the brain, emotion, and body health. It suggests that long- term stress could harm the nerve system that keeps blood sugar balanced, leading to health problems like diabetes or weight gain. In the future, learning how to care for both our mind and body may become an important way to prevent stress-related diseases.
36. What is the new finding about the stress response
A. It only raises sugar levels for a while. B. It fully relies on the heart for energy use.

Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the panion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物)found in the guts (肠道)of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioral differences.
The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物)that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems.
The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates.
Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.

Illnesses caused by heat-dehydration, cramps (抽筋), and even strokes-can come on quickly and quietly. After 10 straight hours picking grapes on a burning 105°F day, 53-year-old Asunción Valdivia collapsed and died, a victim of heat stroke. Without meaningful action, the U.S. could see 450,000 injuries per year by 2050.
Scientists have been researching ways to measure heat stress without relying on individual consciousness. For the public, widely-used wearable devices can detect skin temperature. But to determine if someone is at risk of heat stress, wearables need to measure core body temperature a capability they lack. Core body temperature measures the temperature of internal organs like the heart, liver and brain. An algorithm (算法) has been developed that estimates heat-related illness risks by measuring heart rate, skin temperature and walking patterns. Zachary Schlader, a heat stress researcher, says the most promising solutions are algorithms estimating internal body temperature, with the core body temperature algorithm being the most advanced and integrated into public products.
Early tests have shown some promise. A startup called VigiLife released a sensor, which measures heart rate, core body and skin temperatures, and then uses wearable and environmental data to offer health and safety insights. A construction firm adopted the technology and saw zero heat-related illnesses when it tried out VigiLife’s technology from May to September 2023.
However, some aren’t convinced by wearable-only solutions. Jason Glaser, the CEO of an network company, notes it’s unclear if, given access to wearable technology, workers would follow the alerts. Intense manual labor and piece-rate payment systems encourage workers to overwork without adequate access to water, shade and breaks.
In addition to personal risk alerts, wearable technology can also help scientists create algorithms that model outdoor work risks. One Florida project uses biosensors on farm workers, feeding data to an AI algorithm to predict heat illness. However, Schlader says it’s hard to know when these technologies will have a true impact on working conditions and when core temperature measurements will be integrated into wearable devices.
44. Why does the author mention Asunción Valdivia’s story in Paragraph 1

What did you have for breakfast today And how did you celebrate your last birthday When you think back to these events, you’re using episode memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US believe this is thanks to a“memory reset button” in our brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核), helps organize and separate our memories.
In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch. The pitch change aimed to change the context and create what is known as an event boundary. Event boundaries help the brain organize episode memory by changing our perception and attention.
After the experiment, UCLA scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise.
Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), helps shape episode memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers.
The new understanding could lead to better treatment for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls.

A new study suggests that some homemade soups — made of chicken, beef or vegetables — might help fight malaria.
Jake Baum of the Imperial College London led the research. He asked children at a London school to bring in homemade clear soups that their families would make to treat a fever. The children were from many different cultural backgrounds. The soups were then exposed to the parasite (寄生虫) that creates 99.7 percent of malaria cases in Africa, the World Health Organization, WHO, explained. Of the 56 soups tested, five were more than 50 percent effective in containing the growth of the parasite. Two were as effective as one drug now used to treat malaria. And four soups were more than 50 percent effective at preventing parasites from aging to the point that they could infect mosquitoes that spread the disease. Baum and his team reported their results recently in the publication Archives of Disease in Childhood.
“When we started getting soups that worked — in the lab under very restricted conditions — we were really happy and excited,” Baum said in an email to Agence France Presse. Baum also noted that it was unclear which foods made the soups effective against malaria. “If we were serious about going back and finding the ingredient, like good scientists, we’d have to do it in a very standardized way,” he said. The soups came from families from different ethnic histories, including Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. They had several main ingredients, including chicken, beef and green vegetables. Baum said the vegetarian soups showed similar results to the soups with meat.
Baum said his aim was in part to show children that scientific research can turn an herbal cure into a man-made medicine. He noted the research of Dr. Tu Youyou of China. In the 1970s she found that the herb quinhao was an effective antimalarial treatment. The herb has been used in Eastern medicine for two thousand years. Tu’s research led to the manmade drug artemisinin,a drug now widely used to treat malaria. She won the Nobel Prize in 2015. More and more people are becoming resistant to the drugs that treat the disease, which kills about 400,000 people a year. That means scientists will have “look beyond chemistry” and find new drugs, Baum adds.

For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
56. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues
