16、 basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercises and brain development. Judy Camerson, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that

17、 exercise can make blood vessels(血管),including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the

18、 brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes

19、 in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory

20、. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning.” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three h

21、ours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or taichi helps to open up memory paths in the

22、brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood.

26、 a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of the detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility(能见度) of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid get

27、ting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a casual relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analyzed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapo

28、re. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6. 1 fewer accidents per 1 ,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例

29、) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76. 6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $ 1,000 per car and downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yel

30、low could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses with other colors

31、 to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested lo look at private hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors, explained Prof Ho.12.Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?A.Because yellow ca

32、n be seen more easily.B.Because yellow signals a warning of danger.C.Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.D.Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.13.Whats Prof Hos study based on?A.Physical risks taxi passengers experience.B.The economic effect of changing taxi co
