In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive(認知的) skills didn't get any smarter.
More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week. They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn't play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet and answering general knowledge questions. All participants were given a sort of I.Q test before and after the experiment.
Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn't do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. On some sections of the test, the people who surfed the Net scored higher than those playing the games.
"If you're (playing these games) because they're fun, that's absolutely fine," said Adrian Owen, the study's lead author. "But if you're expecting (these games) to improve your I.Q., our data suggests this isn't the case," he said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
One maker of brain games said the company's games have been proven to boost brain power.
"Their conclusion would be like saying, 'I cannot run a mile in under 4 minutes and therefore it is impossible to do so," Aldrich said in a statement.
"There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world," said Art Kramer, who was not linked to the study and has no ties to any companies that make brain training games.
Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can spark(激發(fā)) new connections between nerves and produce new brain cells. "Fitness changes the building blocks of the brain's structure," he said.

A.costly | B.unreliable | C.illegal | D.effective |
A.The experiment lasted for a week. |
B.Age didn’t affect the result of the research. |

ASK LASKAS
YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE'S GOT ANSWERS
Q: My problem is computer gaming. I do it day and night, averaging four hours of sleep. I can't control of this, and I don't know where to go for help. Do you? —Player
A: Dear Player,
You have an addiction. For some people playing video games releases dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that makes you feel good. You'd toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right? To kick the habit, get help from a health professional. And don't look for help on line; that would be like an alcoholic going to the bar for advice.
Q: My brother's wife just had triplets(三胞胎). This is such a joy! Yet every time I share the news with co-workers, they ask me if she was on fertility pills. I think this is rude—or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的)that you can ask anyone anything? —No Show Host
A: Dear Host,
Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy. But don't blame it all on the talk-shows. Continue to celebrate and greet impolite questions with stony silence. Their fertility history is nobody's business but their own.
Q: I work at an amusement park, and my manager steals supplies. She has a catering business on the side, and we've seen her load up her van at the back gates. The big bosses think she is the best thing since buttered bread, and we're all afraid that if we say anything, we'll lose our jobs. What can we do? —Righteous
A: Dear Righteous,
Be sure you're right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates. Once you know for certain, it's time to go to the bosses and report what you have seen.
Q: My stepson's wife sometimes leaves their eight-year-old home alone for "a short run to the store." That may be an hour or so. I believe by law we should report it. What do you think?
—The In-laws
A: Dear Laws,
I don't know what the child-protection laws in your state are, but I do know that children need care and attention. This child may be able and unafraid, but kids aren't always careful. It also sounds like there is stress in your family relationship. One thing you can do to help this situation is offer to baby-sit when Mom needs to step out.
1.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Dopamine is a powerful brain chemical good to our health.
B. Looking for help on line is like getting help from a health professional.
C. Player is a video game addict who smokes and sleeps few hours.
D. Player is advised to stay clear of the screen.
2.According to the Q&A, .
A. Host's colleagues are insensitive
B. The talk-show is to blame
C. Somebody's business is everybody's
D. Host's sister-in-law was on fertility pills
3.What we can infer from the Q&A is .
A. The Mom is not to blame because she needs a short run to the store
B. Children need care and attention, though not for all of them
C. Laws, the old lady, wants to report what she sees to the child's father
D. Laskas doesn't seem to approve of Laws' trying to report what she sees
4.Which Q&A mentioned transport?
A. The first B. The second. C. The third. D. None.

The following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological (地質(zhì)學(xué)的)Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today .
Q: Why , after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt(噴發(fā))in 1991 ?
A: Volcanoes (火山)each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years , but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year , and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years .
Q: So nothing caused it ?
A: There’s nothing out of the ordinary . If you were to take an ordinary calendar year , 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year . There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest . That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that .
Q: What is “the ring of fire” ?
A: If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world , there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them . There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean . It makes a ring where 60% of the world’s volcanoes lie .
Q: Why such a concentration(集中)there ?
A: That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When they move , one might ride up over the other one . In this case , the Pacific Ocean goes under the continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma (熔巖)at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring .
1.What kind of writing do you think this passage is ?
A.A text taken from a geography book . B.An interview published in the press .
C.A conversation carried out in a film . D.An oral test recorded as an example .
2.Which of the following statements can correctly explain why we have so many volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean ?
A.The movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible.
B.The Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere.
C.The oceans and the continents are separated from each other.
D.The earth’s surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part.
3.Barbara Reynolds’ main purpose here is______________ .
A.to show how dangerous volcanoes are to the world
B.to learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruption
C.to warn the world of the existence of “the ring of fire”
D.to introduce some general idea of volcanoes to the public
4.Which of the following can be considered as the best conclusion of the conversation?
A.There are so many volcanoes in the world and we are always in danger.
B.Volcanoes have erupted more frequently than ever before.
C.Volcanoes are waiting to be better known.
D.Something must be done to protect the people near the ring of fire.
