2、not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.But when it comes to mental well-being, theres been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other

3、physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure rea

4、ction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain thats associated with dealing with functions and control

5、ling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs d

6、iffer depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness

11、, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well._DLivestreaming (直播) through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online. It usually lasts between 5 an

12、d 10 minutes, and someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.We analyzed (分析) 99,451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases. In terms of time, that is equal to over 2 million 30-second television advertisements.To

13、determine the emotional (情绪的) expression of the salesperson, we used two deep learning models: a face model and an emotion model. The face model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream. The emotion model then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any o

14、f the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust. For example, smiling signals a high probability of happiness, while an off-putting expression usually points toward anger.We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases so w

15、e counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database. We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales such as price and product characteristics to judge the effect of emotion.We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople

16、 show more negative emotions such as anger and disgust the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smiling can be disgusti

C 推理判断题。根据第二段内容尤其是最后一句“Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in de

30、gree of activity of the brain.”和第三段第一句“In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain thats associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪).”可知，实验结果表明自我报告的快乐程度达到了最高点，大脑的活跃程度也有所增加。换句话说，跑步者大脑中的与执行功能和控制情绪相关的部分的血流量增加了。由此可推知，血流量与人们的快乐相关。故选C。
