22、Think energetic exercise is just for the young? Think again. Contrary to the common belief, a new study finds seniors should stay physically active. The study reveals that physical activity shifts energy away from biological processes that cause disease and moves it towards systems throughout the body which extend (延长) life.
Researchers used apes (类人猿) — the distant cousins of humans —in their research. They theorize that humans separated themselves from apes during evolution (进化) by developing the ability to make themselves fitter through physical exercise.
Typically, apes live only 35 to 40 years. However, apes are also much less active than most humans. This suggests that humans reached a point in their evolution where people developed a way to stay alive longer through more activity. The behavior of apes stands in sharp contrast to that of ancient hunter-gatherers, who the team says averaged around 135 minutes of moderate-to-energetic physical activity a day. Study authors believe this level of activity, up to 10 times more than the average American, is the reason hunter-gatherers lived to around 70 years old.
The team finds humans also use energy from physical activity to repair and maintain the body. Along with burning calories, exercise actually causes widespread damage to the body by causing damage on a cellular(细胞的), molecular (分子的), and tissue level. However, this damage is essential so the body can build itself back even stronger. Through exercise, the body starts repairing muscle fibers, broken bones, and other minor injuries. When people are less active, these processes are also less active, putting people at higher risk of disease.
We humans evolved to be active throughout our lives and our bodies need physical activity to age well. In the past, daily physical activity was necessary in order to survive, but today we choose to do voluntary physical activity for health and fitness. The good news is that you don’t need to be as active as a hunter-gatherer to reduce the effects of aging.

23、Keep current with facts about electric cars
Sales of electric vehicles (EV) grew 40 percent last year worldwide. Stateside, nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric. 【1】 Almost 100 pure-electric vehicles are set to come into the market by the end of 2024. Many manufacturers, including GM, Jeep, and Volvo, have promised to offer fully electric lineups before this decade is done.
【2】 Tesla's upcoming reimagined Roadster will start at $200,000, while Tesla's current cheapest model is $41,000. Plenty of other EVs are even more affordable. Chevy, Nissan, and Hyundai all offer models for around S30,000. When assessing the cost of an EV, keep in mind that some models will even qualify you for a federal tax credit (联邦税收抵免) of up to $7,500. 【3】 A typical EV owner spends between $6,000 and $10,000 less than a conventional car owner on vehicle maintenance. One reason: EVs don’t have transmissions or clutches, two of the costliest parts to repair.
There are about 22,000 public charging ports nationwide, a number that is expected to be more than three times by 2023. But for most EV owners, charging at home is the way to go. 【4】
The average EV gets about 250 miles from a full charge, which is far less than the distance most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank. But EVs are catching up. Tesla comes the closest. Its newer 2021 version gets closer to 500. 【5】 BMW makes a fast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive time in about six minutes.
A.They'll have options.
B.But electric cars are nothing new.
C.Then there are the long-term savings.
D.Changing technology is also improving.
E.Some EVs are still eye-wateringly expensive.
F.The battery is usually the entire floor of the vehicle.
G.It takes longer, but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.
24、Some say everyday miracles (奇迹) are predestined (注定的) — the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn’t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift (换班) at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compression. And he revived in the end.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he’d first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
“The food was stuck. I couldn’t breathe, ” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened. ”
