Its like I have an addiction.”Joes love for houseplants started when he was 13, after his grandmother, who lives right across the street, gifted him a cutting of her spider plant. As the South African plant grew and blossomed (开花), so did his love for houseplants.Th

But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) suggest theres something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive (认知的) impairment, according to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a g
18、roup of neurologists and Alzheimers (阿尔茨海默症) specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive declineand you might be surprised by what they included and what they didnt.Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines dont include any medication(药物) or dietary recomm
19、endations. The authors stress that there havent been any high quality, long term studies finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not rely on it. At the present time, the report
20、s authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises, like memory and attention training or problem solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises cant do any harm.But there was one big discovery from the new
21、 guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.
22、Whats more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics, strength training, balance exercises, and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones whod exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, and had less brain shrink

26、 work is changing. Are people ready for the new job outlook? A survey of 15- year-olds across 41 countries by the OECD(经合组织) has found that teenagers may have unrealistic expectations about the kind of work that will be available. Four of the five most popular choices are traditional professional ro
27、les: doctors, teachers, business managers and lawyers. Teenagers cluster around the most popular jobs, with the top ten being chosen by 47% of boys and 53% of girls. This selection is partly due to wishful thinking on the part of those surveyed. Furthermore, teenagers can hardly be expected to have
28、an in-depth knowledge of labour-market trends. They encounter doctors and teachers in their daily lives. Other popular professions, such as lawyers and police officers, are familiar from films and social media. Some parts of the OECD survey are disturbing. More boys than girls expect to work in scie
29、nce or engineering. The problem continues in higher education; with the exception of biological and biomedical sciences, degrees in STEM Subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths ) are male-dominated. In America women earn just 35. 5% of undergraduate STEM degrees and 33. 7% of PhDs. Thin
30、gs are even worse in technology. In Britain only one in five computer-science university students is a woman. Women are underrepresented in some important fields of technology; they have only 12% of jobs in cloud computing, for example.Women play a much bigger role in the health- and social-care sec
31、tors. The problem is that some of these jobs are not very well paid. Home-health and personal-care aides had median annual salaries in 2018 of just over 24,000. Some jobs in health care are extremely profitable, of course. But another gender imbalance emerges here: women make up only one-third of Am
32、erican health-care executives. In contrast, they tend to dominate the poorly paid social care workforce.The biggest problem in the labour market, then, may not be that teenagers are focusing on a few well-known jobs. It could be a mismatch: not enough talented women move into technology and not enou
33、gh men take jobs in social care. Any economist will recognise this as an inefficient use of resources. Wherever the root of the problem lies-be it the education system, government policy or corporate recruiting practices-it needs to be identified and fixed.12Many teenagers would like to choose some
34、traditional jobs because_.Athey are ready for these jobsBthese jobs are better known to themCthese jobs live up to their expectationsDthey think these jobs are available to them13Where do most women work?AIn engineeringBIn technology.CIn health care.DIn business.14What would-the author most probably
