Here’s another reason to get off the couch and start working up a sweat. Time the exercise right and you could boost your ability to remember something new. That’s the finding of a new study.
But it all comes down to timing. To lock up the new information, start burning those calories roughly four hours after you took in the new information. That’s according to researchers at an institute on brain, cognition and behavior. It’s at Radboud University’s Medical Center, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Eelco van Dongen and his colleagues shared their new findings in the June 16 Current Biology.
This precisely timed memory trick comes from tests with 72 people. Each learned the location of 90 objects on a computer screen. Afterward, some of the recruits watched relaxing nature videos. Others worked up a sweat on stationary bikes, alternating between hard and easy pedaling for 35 minutes. Their workouts came either soon after the cram session or four hours later.
Two days later they were tested again. Those who remembered the objects’ sites best were the people who had waited four hours after their learning session before pedaling. Among those who remembered sites correctly, the four-hour delay before biking also led to more consistent activity in an area important for memory. It’s known as the hippocampus (海马区). The consistent activity here suggests that the memories had been strong, the scientists say.
Van Dongen’s team does not yet know how exercise works its memory magic. They do, however, have a guess. Aerobic exercise sparks the creation of several important chemicals in the brain. One is a protein (蛋白质) known as BDNF. The other is dopamine (DO-puh-meen). It can help relay messages between nerve cells. These two molecules may help solidify memories by rewiring links between brain cells, the researchers suspect.
24. Why are we suggested to get off the couch and do exercise? A. It’s good for our health.
B. It’s good for learning new things. C. It’s good for our memories. D. It’s good for our ability.
25. The best way to lock up the new information is ________ A. to do sports as soon as possible.
B. to do sports fours hours after taking in new information. C. to see some nature videos. D. to do sports for four hours.
26. Which is NOT right about the experiment? A. 72 people took part in the experiment. B. There are 90 objects on the screen.
C. They all had to do riding for 35 minutes. D. They were tested again two days later.
27. How does exercise work its memory magic?
- 4 -
A. By the hippocampus. B. No one knows.
C. By a protein known as BDNF. D. By a protein known as dopamine.

Betty Friedan is called the mother of the modern women’s liberation movement. Her famous book, The Feminine Mystique (《女性迷思》), changed America. Some people say it changed the world. It has been called one of the most influential nonfiction books of the twentieth century.
Fifty years ago, life for women in American was very different from today. Few parents urged their daughters to become lawyers or doctors. Female workers doing the same jobs as men earned less money. Women often lost their jobs when they had a baby.
Betty Friedan was born in 1921 in Illinois. She attended Smith College in Massachusetts. She finished her studies in psychology in 1942. After college she attended the University of California to continue her studies. But her boyfriend did not want her to get an advanced degree. He apparently felt threatened by her success. So Betty left California and her boyfriend. She moved to New York City and worked as a reporter for newspapers.
In 1947, Betty married Carl Friedan. They had a child. When Berry Friedan became pregant for the second time, she was expelled from her job. After that she had to work as an independent reporter for magazines. But her editors often rejected her attempts to write about subjects of women.
In 1957, her class at Smith College gathered for the fifteenth anniversary of their graduation. Friedan prepared an opinion study for the women about their lives. Most who took part in the study did not work outside their homes and were not satisfied with their life. Friedan completed more studies afterwards. The result was her book, The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963.
It was a huge success. It has sold more than three million copies. More women began working outside the home. More women also began studying traditionally male subjects like law, medicine and engineering. Betty Friedan died on February fourth, 2006.
28. What can we know about the book The Feminine Mystique? A. It has changed the world.
B. It is thought highly of by people. C. It tells a story about Betty Friedan. D. It is one of the best books in America.
29. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Women in America can be treated relatively fair now. B. There were no women doctors in America 50 years ago. C. Women could get the same jobs as men did at that time. D. Women had to quit their babies if they wanted to work.
30. Why did Bettty Friedan leave California according to the passage? A. Because she could not find a suitable job there. B. Because her boyfriend refused her progress. C. Because she wanted to gain higher education.
D. Because the 15th anniversary of her graduation was celebrated. 31. The underlined word “expelled” can be replaced by ____? A. promoted. B. blamed.
