I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was

7、 one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up. He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the

8、danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator. We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The mans knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that

9、I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet. At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman

10、 who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note. My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended.

13、A young woman ran after me and gave me the note. C You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye. B ut in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever

14、missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that? According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together t

15、o form an image without interruption. In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction co

16、uld be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear. The researchers found that when the directions of two pat

17、terns didnt match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction. “The medial prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enab

18、les us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink，” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily.

But while its long been believed that endorphins(内啡肽)chemicals in the body that cause happinessare behind the socalled “runners

22、high”， a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew. According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids(内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feelin

23、g. To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety. But after being

24、 given a drug to block their endorphins they changed. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, the runners high symptoms seemed to fade. “The longheld notion of endorphins being responsible for the runners high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only

27、derate(中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website. It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we dont fully understand where it comes from. At least if were feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes. 12What did scientists from Germa

28、n universities recently discover? AWorking out is a highly effective way to treat depression. BThe runners high could be caused by endocannabinoids. CEndorphins may contribute to ones high spirits after running. DThe level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect ones mood. 13The scientists g
