The hippocampus（海马体）function is the part of the brain which stores memory. Think of it like a human's inner hard drive. 36
Learn Something New
Due to the way the hippocampus works, when you learn something new, you build new neural（神经元的）pathways and strengthen the ones that already exist. 37
Researchers found that when you engage in long-term learning, new neural activity patterns were observed. This established a clear relationship between patterns and new behavioral abilities.
Exercise
You can generate new hippocampi neurons by exercising. A famous neuronal study compared the brains of two different groups of mice. 38 The mice with the wheel produced an abundance of new neurons in their hippocampus. The group without access produced far less.
Most exercises will help the brain and hippocampus function in some way. If you're searching for an exercise which is particularly brain-effective, then fitness center is a great place to start. 39 You can do anything from walking, running, cycling, swimming, boxing, rowing and even dancing!
Eat Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate releases dopamine（多巴胺）, which is great for fast learning and memory. Indeed, studies have shown that eating chocolate can increase cerebral blood flow and promote synaptogenesis（突触发生）. This is the formation of synapses（突触）between our neurons. They accumulate in the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain associated with memory.
40 Dark chocolate also releases antioxidants（抗氧化剂）. This means that you no longer have to feel guilty about tucking into that box of chocolate!
A. Think of it like building blocks!
B. But the benefits don't stop there.
C. Dark chocolate has several benefits.
D. Lucky for you, there's a bunch of different exercises out there.
E. And just like actual hard drives, we can boost its performance.
F. The first group had access to a running wheel, the second did not.
G. There are many things you can do to help improve your me

Those who with a growthmindset are also more likely to be creative when solving problems.

In twostudies involving more than 700 first-year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing howour participants saw themselves. The majorityheld strong interests in the arts, humanities andsocial sciences. ____38____.
We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills module.Ourintervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think aboutinterests and passions as cultivated(培育) rather than as simply found and fixed.____39____. Thestudy skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis on building classic skills,such as time management and active learning.
These students were required to take at least one math and science course during their firstyear. That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced their perspectives onmath and science.
By the end of the year, students who had received the intervention were more interested intheir required math and science courses than those who received the study skills module--and thisboost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a "math-and-science person.” ____40____.These students became more skilled in math and science and grewinto interdisciplinary scholars.
A. How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated

Disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes or wildfires are typically unexpected, sudden and overwhelming. For many people, there are no outwardly visible signs of physical injury, but there can be an emotional damage. 36 Understanding responses to painful events can help you cope effectively with your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and help you along the path to recovery.
Luckily, most people are resilient (有适应力的) and over time are able to bounce back from tragedy. It is common for people to experience the immediate consequences. Within a few months, however, most people are able to resume functioning as they did prior to the disaster.
37
Give yourself time to adjust. Anticipate that this will be a difficult time in your life. 38 And try to be patient with changes in your emotional state.
Engage in healthy behaviors to enhance your ability to cope with extreme stress. Eat well-balanced meals and get plenty of rest. If you experience ongoing difficulties with sleep, you may be able to find some relief through relaxation techniques.
Establish or reestablish routines. This can include eating meals at regular times, sleeping and waking on a regular cycle, or following an exercise program. 39 For example, pursuing a hobby, or reading a good book is just among the recommended helpful routines.
40 Switching careers or jobs and other important decisions tend to be highly stressful in their own right and even harder to take on when you are recovering from a disaster.
A. Avoid making major life decisions.
B. Be brave enough to make critical life decisions.
C. Allow yourself to mourn the losses you have experienced.
D. Join those who have the similar experiences with you to relieve your pain.
E. Try to get involved in something you look forward to during these distressing times.
F. It is common for people who have experienced disasters to have strong emotional reactions.
G. It is of great importance to remember that resilience and recovery are the norm, not the lasting pain

The world continues to struggle with extreme heatwaves, which are becoming even more regular thanks to climate change. 16 Researchers have found that by wearing appropriate clothes, it is possible to save considerable energy, both saving money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. So what should you wear
When it comes to colour, most people wear white in summer, because white reflects the sun’s rays, rather than absorb the light. 17 When that heat from our bodies hits the white clothing, it is reflected back at us. A study of why Bedouins, who live in desert regions in the Arabian peninsula, Middle East and North Africa wear black robes (袍服) in the desert, found that heat exposure was the same whether they wore black or white robes.
How is that possible Black coloured fabrics absorb heat coming from the body, which plays a role in cooling your body down. 18 The clothes heat up the space between the fabric and the skin, promoting an upward air current-like a chimney-and providing cooling relief. 19
In terms of material, it’s better to have fabrics that allow water vapour (蒸气) to pass through Cotton absorbs moisture but it doesn’t dry quickly, so if you’re sweating a lot your clothes will stay wet. 20 Linen is widely worn as it has excellent breath ability due to its large fibres, but like cotton it is slow to dry. Merino wool has been a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts as it’s breathable.
Therefore, it turns out that picking an outfit to stay cool is more complex than simply throwing on a white T-shirt. But the right fabric and appropriate fit work.
A．It means cotton does not do so great with this.
B．Cotton is considered as the most comfortable material.
C．The clothing we wear is a vital component in how we stay cool.
D．So the fit of the clothing is actually more important than the colour.
E．So if you are considering what to wear, then stick with white T-shirt.
F．However, heat doesn’t just come from the sun — it comes from our bodies too.
G．The Bedouin’s secret is wearing loose-fitting black clothing, especially if it’s windy.
