31．A brief course of brain exercises helped older adults hold on to improvements in reasoning skills and processing speed that could be detected as long as 10 years after the course ended，according to results from the largest study ever done on cognitive training（认知训练）．
The findings，published on Monday in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society，offer welcome news in the search for ways to keep the mind sharp as 76 million baby boomers（婴儿潮出生的一代人） in the United States advance into old age．
The federally-sponsored trial of almost 3，000 older adults，called the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study （ACTIVE），looked at how three brain training programs--focusing on processing speed，memory and reasoning ability--affected cognitively-normal adults as they aged．
People in the study had an average age of 74 when they started the training，which involved 10 to 12 sessions lasting 60 to 75 minutes each．The training course was designed to improve specific cognitive abilities that begin to decline as people age．It did not aim to prevent dementia（痴呆） can underlying disease such as Alzheimer's（阿尔茨海默症）．After five years，researchers found that those with the training performed better than their untrained counterparts（相对应的人） in all three measures．
Although gains in memory seen at the study's five-year mark appeared to drop off over the next five years，gains in reasoning ability and processing speed lasted 10 years after the training．
"What we found was pretty astonishing．Ten years after the training，there was evidence the effects were durable for the reasoning and the speed training，"said George Rebok，an expert on aging and a professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore，who led the study．
The participants in all three training groups also reported that the training made it easier for them to do daily activities such as managing their medications，cooking meals or handling their finances than those who did not get the training．But standard tests of these activities showed no differences between the groups．
"The speed-of-processing results are very encouraging，"said study co-author Jonathan King，program director for cognitive aging in the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging （NIA），part of the National Institutes of Health，which helped fund the research．
King said the self-reported improvements in daily function were interesting，but added，"We do not yet know whether they would truly allow older people to live independently longer．"However，the researchers said even a small gain would be likely to ease the burden on caregivers and healthcare providers．
"If we delay the attack of difficulties in daily activities even by a small amount，that can have major public health implications in terms of helping to control healthcare costs，delaying entry into institutions and hospitals，"Rebok said．

32．阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文．
Volunteering can make you happier and help you live longer，according to a new study．A research paper published on Friday in the journal BMC Public Health says doing good deeds for others improves your health．Researchers from the UK's University of Exeter reviewed 40 papers on the effects of doing voluntary work on our health．They found that volunteers had lower rates of depression（消沉），an increased sense of well-being，and a 22 percent reduction in the chances of dying within the next seven years．Australians lead the way in volunteering，with a 36 per cent of the population lending a hand．
Lead researcher Dr Suzanne Richards said："Our study shows that volunteering is associated with improvements in mental health，but more work is needed to show whether volunteering is actually the cause．"She added："It is still unclear whether biological and cultural factors and social resources that are often associated with better health are also associated with a willingness to volunteer in the first place．"In a study from the University of Michigan，researchers suggested three reasons why volunteering may be beneficial．First，it involves physical activity；second，the social connections we make help to reduce our stress；and third，it gives us a deep sense of happiness．
