The findings come ___36___ a study of nearly 1,000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index (BMI) - a measure of obesity.___37___ is found that those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on ___38___, slimmer than those ___39___ ate it occasionally. Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains ingredients（材料）that may favour weight loss ___40___ than fat synthesis, scientists believe.___41___ boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, ___42___ is published in Archives of Internal Medicine. The link remained even when other factors, like how ___43___ exercise individuals did, were taken into ___44___.And it appears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. The ___45___ found no link with quantity consumed.
___46___ to the researchers, there is only one chance in a hundred that their findings could be explained by chance alone. Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said: "Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight."This is not the first time scientists ___47___ that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart.

Mice ___50___ for 15 days with epicatechin (present in dark chocolate) had improved exercise performance and observable changes to their muscle composition.They say clinical trials are now needed in humans to see ___51___ this is the case.
But before you reach ___52___ a chocolate bar, there are still lots of unanswered questions. And in the absence of conclusive evidence, experts advise caution.While there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat like ___53___ now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often ___54___ a lot of sugar and fat too.And if you are looking to change your diet, you are ___55___ to benefit most from eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.

With time flying, people become aged. Then many people even in their middle age often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can’t remember we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old friend’s name, or the name of an old band we used to love. As the brain , we refer to these occurrences as "senior moments". seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a(n) effect on our social and well-being.
Neuroscientists,experts who study the nervous system, are increasingly showing that there’s actually a lot that can be done. It out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental can significantly improve our basic cognitive(认知) . Thinking is basically a of making connections in the brain. To a certain extent, our ability to in making the connections that drive intelligence is inherited(继承). , because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and wave mental effort.
Now, a new Web-based company has taken a step and developed the first "brain training program" designed to actually help people improve and their mental sharpness.
The Web-based program you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program keeps a(n) of your progress and provides detailed feedback(反馈) your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it changes and improves the games you play to up the strengths you are developing-much like a(n) exercise routine which requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.

I met Ryan, a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), in my biology class. My simple "Hello!" and his cheerful reply were the 36 to our friendship from the first day of school.

In our junior year, we found that we didn't 39 a single class. This was not a problem, though. We just talked a little more in the hallway 40 passing periods. That year seemed to fly by. One day, Ryan asked me to hold the torch (火炬) runner's flag that would 41 the spot where Ryan would 42 his Olympic torch run. He gently explained that he would be honored 43 I would accept this position for him. The Olympic committee sent a letter saying that the person that holds the flag for him must be someone 44 to him. He said I was the only true friend he had 45 made that talked to HIM and not to his wheel chair. How could I 46 such a request?
On the morning of June 5th, as I walked down the sidewalk, my heart 47 and my mind became a factory of questions. I kept wondering how everything was going to happen and how Ryan would 48 the huge crowd of thousands of people.
After the van arrived, the other runners got out and lined up outside the van, chanting his name, "Ryan! Ryan!" Then all of the people 49 in, “Ryan! Ryan!” The lift then lowered Ryan to the ground. There he was, in all his 50 .
It all became slow motion at the sight of the arriving torch. The runner lit Ryan's torch and then Ryan began his 51 . As he took off down the street, the chanting became louder and louder. The 52 filled the air and even I felt like I was on cloud number nine. I could not have been any prouder of Ryan！ He 53 this moment in time --a historic moment--a moment that he was a part of and 54 me to be a part of, too.
Mr. Weinheimer, the next torch runner, bent over and gave Ryan a hug. That moment will last in time forever. It symbolized the whole 55 of the flame: love, excitement, enthusiasm, brotherhood, and life of any man. The flame united us all and showed that love is really what makes this small world go around after all.

positive through the cold season could be your best against getting ill, new study findings suggest.
In an experiment that healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a sunny characteristic were less likely to ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help the common cold and other illnesses.
Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may their illness as being less severe.”
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.
For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.

I guess you can say I’m not healthy. I throw up almost everything I , and I have no idea what is going on with my body in the of doing it. I’m 17 years old, and I have been suffering from this for about 6 months. That doesn’t seem like a time, but those 6 months feel like 6 years.

At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss.
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for to tell the difference between the sounds of “s” and “f”, and “t” and “z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen.
However, cell phone users don’t care too much this study. One man said, “I’d be more worried about people who MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very music. I think that is more likely to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he in class.
When I took the first exam, I was to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained . I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his . One more test before the final exam. One more to improve my grade.

He to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.” I stared at him, that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head , as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
