"For students who are worried about math,posture(makes a big difference",Erik
Peper,a researcher from a university told Daily Mail.That's right-sitting straight can help you
do better in math exams.
Researchers tested )25 college students.They asked them to do a math exam while
sitting in a slumped-over()position,or sitting up straight.After the test,56 of the
students said the exam was easier to do If they were sitting up straight.
Slumping over is a defensive(防备的)posture.It can bring out negative(消极的)
memories in the body and brain.This can stop you from thinking clearly,Peper said.
Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam didn't necessarily benefit(
)from better posture.But they did find that doing math in a slumped-over position was
more difficult,Science Daily reported.
.Good posture isp'tjust helpful for taking math exams.Musicians,sports players and
public speakers can-all benefit from it.When you feel stressed out,you can also try to sit up
straight or stand tall.It can help you feel more positive()and focus better.

A survey in the UK asked 1,000 kids,aged 7 to 11,about food growing.According to the
survey results,nearly half said they had eve tried growing food at school.And among those
who had tried,30%had grown more than one type of food.But should kids leamn to grow
food at school?
Some people support growing food at school.They think thatA.Growing fruits and
vegetables teaches kids about how plants grow and where food comes from.Also.studies
show if kids grow their own -food;it can help them be healthier.First,it-encourages children-to
try more vegetables,which are good for the body because they have'vitamins and minerals.
Second,doing things like digging,planting,and moving around outside is a great way to keep
fit.Besides,watching a seed grow into food can make kids feel happy and proud.
However,some people have different ideas.Many schools lack the space required for
growing vegetables,and buying seeds and gardening also cost money Plus,taking care ot'a
vegetable garden takes time and effort-maybe more than kids can give.Schools would need
extra help from teachers or volunteers to do thungs like weeding,watering,and,harvesting the
food At home,families would need to help because a child--can't do all the gardening by-
themselves.What if the adults don't have enough-time?Growing food is a nice hobby,but it's
not an essential life skill.
As far as I am concerned,while it's true that there are many limiting factors,teaching
children'to grow food at school is an opportunity to educate them about health and the value
of hard work.

Have you ever wondered where a memory goes when you learn something new?The
answer lies in your brain I earning isn'tmagic.(51)
Imagine your brain is a forest When you learn something for the first time,it's like
walking through the grass and creating a new path().If you only walk that path once.the
grass will spring back.(52)This is what bappens when you forget.
But if you walk the same path again and again-by practising a math problem.reviewing
vocabulary.or playing a song on the piano.the path will be clear,wide.and lasting.It
becomes a road.In your brain.these "roads"are real connections between brain cells called
neurons ()The more you use a connection.the stronger it gets.(53 This term
comes from two words:"neuro"(related to the brain)and "plasticity"(the ability to
change)-whicl treci.s your brain is "plastic"
What makes these connections strong?There are two key factars (involved.One
factor is focu ing.(54)Your brain lets out a chemical that acts like"glue"when you
Day close attention.It can make the new cunnection stronger.And while you sleep.your brain
is busy replaying the day's learning and using the new roads repeatedly.So a good night's
sleep isn't lazy.It's the other factar that makes the connection stronger.
(55)
Every time you learn something new.your brain actually grows and forms
new connections.So learning isn't just about trying hard-it's about knowing how your brain
works and using that to make new knowledge stick.
A The path will disappear.
B The other factor is sleeping.
C.There's a special term scientists use to describe brain change.
D.It requires you to put all your attantinn on what you're learning.
B.It's a phvsical process that changes your brain's structure.
