Now, scientists suggest you exercise while learning. In recent years, many studies have shown that we learn differently if we also exercise. A new study in China has now provided more evidence. It reports that doing exercise during a language class can help people learn more efficiently (有效的). Forty Chinese students who were learning English took part in the study. The scientists divided them into two groups. Those in Group 1 would continue to learn English in traditional classes. The others (Group 2) were asked to exercise while learning. They would ride exercise bicycles for 20 minutes before their English classes. Both groups learned new words by watching them on large screens. Each class taught 40 new words. Then the students rested a bit and took a quiz (测试). The students took eight “special classes” in two months. Those who had ridden exercise bicycles always did better on the quizzes than those who had sat still. Most interestingly, the cyclists (骑行者) seemed to have a longer memory for the new words. The scientists gave the students a final test after the classes. The cyclists remembered more words than the students who had not exercised. Simone Sulpizio is one of the scientists. “The results showed that physical activity during language learning improved that learning,” she said. “We are not suggesting teachers buy lots of exercise bicycles,” Sulpizio continued. “But it’s clear that sitting for hours without moving is not the best way to learn. To study efficiently, we should exercise while learning.” 36. How many students took part in the study? A. 20. B. 40. C. 60 D. 80. 37. The underlined word “evidence” probably means ________.
