The research comes becauseeducators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E.class.Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve werefrom the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa.The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included morethan 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed arelationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such asmath, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations(解释):“ There are, first, physiological (生理的) explanations, like moreblood flow, and so more oxygen (氧气) to the brain. Being physicallyactive means there are more hormones（ 荷尔蒙） produced likeendorphins ( 脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lowerand your mood improved, which means you will perform better inclass. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules andhow to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior andhelp them know what they should do.All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are morelikely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should considerthe finding before they cut physical education programs.64. What led the researchers to do the studies?A. Schoolscutting physical activity.B.

Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft andsweet.By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. Themost famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably WilliamWrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent freepieces of gum to children on their birthdays.
