3 . Doing housework can improve memory, increase your ability to concentrate, and give you strength to protect you from falls.
That’s the hot topic from the BMJ Open, which recently published the findings of a study in which researchers from Singapore explored the relationship between housework and health.
To test out their theory, researchers enlisted 249 adults between the ages of 21 and 64. First, all the participants completed questionnaires asking how much housework they did, and how often they did it.
The team found that the more housework they did, the better the adults scored on both cognitive and physical tests.
So, what’s the takeaway? Stop putting off that big house project! Accomplish three things—mental activity, physical activity, and housework—for the price of one.
A.Is Doing housework really good for your health? |
B.Why might housework improve mental and physical health? |
C.Then two tests were conducted to evaluate participants’ performance. |
D.Daily housework can also change depending on your individual needs. |
E.In fact, heavy housework was linked to a 14 percent higher attention score. |
F.It also improves blood flow to the brain and increases oxygen levels in the body. |
G.Previous studies have shown exercise can improve persons’ memory and attention. |
4 . While a healthy diet has always been considered necessary for overall wellness, historically, many hospitals do not notice its powerful potential for recovery. In some areas, that’s beginning to change. In Pennsylvania four years ago, St. Luke’s Hospital worked with Rodale Institute to start an organic produce (有机农产品) farm at the hospital’s campus in Easton. Since its first season, the St.Luke’s farm has expanded to grow 100 fruits and vegetables on 11-12 acres.
Today, St. Luke’s sends all new mothers home with a basket of organic produce. New moms aren’t the only ones benefiting from the farm’s harvest, which is also served to patients, cooked up in the canteens of the hospital and sold at nearby farmers’ markets.
Hospital farms are part of a broader movement to make organic, locally produced food accessible to the general population. Some hospitals are buying food from nearby farms, organic produce easily accessible to the patients and visitors alike, these hospitals hope to inspire lifelong changes for better health. Even though most hospital farms aren’t growing enough to completely support their own hospitals, providing even a small amount of fresh vegetable makes people realize how healthy a plant-rich diet can be.
While the farm-to-hospital movement continues to develop, it’s meeting with some challenges along the way. For one, health workers don’t necessarily know how to grow food. This means that most hospitals need to hire a full-time farmer and other farm labor to manage the field, which can be expensive. Most hospital farms start making just enough money to cover their costs within 3 to 5 years, let alone make profits for now. But participating hospitals still believe that the benefits are worthwhile. As the movement continues to expand, local people might soon experience a farm-fresh meal at a hospital near them.

7 . The Ebola virus is an infectious disease that for years had almost no treatments, and it kill s about half the people it infects. Now a new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that a promising vaccine (疫苗), named rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP, doesn’t just help to reduce infections, it also can cut those death numbers in half.
The vaccine is a single-dose (单剂) muscular one that causes cells to produce one of the virus’s proteins. “Later, if the person is exposed to Ebola,”explains Rebecca Coulborn, a scientist with Epicentre, the medical research arm of Doctors Without Borders, “their immune system will recognize the viral protein. This recognition allows the immune system to be prepared to attack the virus and protect the person from Ebola virus disease.”
Researchers showed rVSV△G-ZEBOV-GP was effective at reducing the risk of infection, but no one knew how capable it was of preventing death in someone who was vaccinated after becoming infected during an epidemic (流行病). To figure it out, Coulborn and her colleagues focused their efforts on the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, which occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 2018 and 2020.
“Every single Ebola health facility across the entire Ebola epidemic had a standardized list of all admissions,” says Coulborn. This list included 2,279 confirmed Ebola patients, and it recorded whether or not each person had been vaccinated before they got sick—and if so, when they’d received the vaccine.
Coulborn found the death rate was 56% among the unvaccinated. But for those who’d received the vaccine, that rate was cut in half. This was true no matter when someone got vaccinated before the appearance of symptoms. Additionally, those who’d been vaccinated had less virus circulating in their bodies than those who hadn’t. So the vaccine played an important role.
Rebecca Coulborn says she feels buoyed by the results—since they offer clear evidence that people who’re at risk of contracting Ebola should be vaccinated early. It’s an opportunity to cut chains of transmission (传播) and prevent an outbreak before it gains speed.
1. What is Coulborn trying to talk about concerning the vaccine in paragraph 2?A.Who it attacks. | B.Why it is developed. | C.How it works. | D.Where it comes from. |
A.it listed health facilities | B.it was easy to analyze |
C.it caused the fewest deaths | D.it had a detailed record |
A.Avoid connecting with each other. | B.Get vaccinated as early as possible. |
C.Stay at home to reduce the spread. | D.Learn to recognize the symptoms. |
A.Encouraged. | B.Relaxed. | C.Astonished. | D.Honored. |
