Căn cứ các thông tin sau:
While one explanation is that dementia risk increases with age, and women have longer life expectancies than men, new research suggests there might be more to the matter, including that protein tangles found within neurons and linked to Alzheimer’s disease might spread differently in women’s brains than men’s. (Đoạn 2) (Trong khi một giải thích khác cho rằng nguy cơ mất trí nhớ tăng lên theo tuổi tác, và phụ nữ thường có tuổi thọ lớn hơn nam giới, thì một nghiên cứu mới đã cho biết vấn đề có thể nghiêm trọng hơn, bao gồm tình trạng lộn xộn protein được tìm thấy trong nơ-ron và được cho là liên quan tới bệnh Alzheimer có thể phát triển 1 cách khác nhau trong não của phụ nữ và đàn ông).
The study, presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Los Angeles by researchers from Vanderbilt University and which has not yet been peer-reviewed, used scans from a method called positron emission tomography. (Đoạn 3) (Một nghiên cứu, được trình bày tại Hội nghị quốc tế Hiệp hội Alzheimer ở Los Angeles bởi các nhà nghiên cứu của đại học Vanderbilt và vẫn chưa được kiểm duyệt, đã sử dụng các hình ảnh cắt lớp từ một phương pháp gọi là chụp ảnh cắt lớp nhờ phóng xạ.)
Other research presented at the conference – and also not yet peer reviewed – added weight to the idea that there might be differences between men and women that affect dementia risk. (Đoạn 7) (Một nghiên cứu khác được trình bày tại hội nghị - và cũng chưa được kiểm duyệt – nhấn mạnh vào ý kiến rằng sự khác biệt giữa nam và nữ có thể tác động đến nguy cơ mất trí nhớ).
From the data the team could build maps showing which areas of the brain show similar signals relating to tau in the scans, suggesting they are somehow connected. (Đoạn 6) ((Từ dữ liệu đó, các nhà nghiên cứu có thể xây dựng các bản đồ chỉ ra khu vực nào của bộ não có các tín hiệu có liên quan tới protein T trong hình ảnh cắt lớp và chỉ ra chúng liên kết như thế nào).
The team says the results suggest these maps look different in women and men, suggesting tau might be able to spread more rapidly across the female brain. (Đoạn 6) (Các nhà nghiên cứu cho biết kết quả cho thấy các bản đồ này trông khác nhau ở đàn ông và phụ nữ, và rằng protein T có thể phát triển nhanh hơn trong não bộ nữ giới).
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
How might volunteering contribute to lower blood pressure? Performing volunteer work could increase physical activity among people who aren’t otherwise very active, says lead study author Rodlescia Sneed, a doctoral candidate in social and health psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. It may also reduce stress. “Many people find volunteer work to be helpful with respect to stress reduction, and we know that stress is very strongly linked to health outcomes,” she says.
As with any activity thought to improve health, researchers are trying to identify the specific characteristics of volunteering that provide the greatest benefit. For example, how much time would you need to put into volunteer work to lower your blood pressure or live longer? In the Carnegie Mellon study, 200 hours of volunteering per year correlated to lower blood pressure. Other studies have found a health benefit from as little as 100 hours of volunteering a year. Which types of volunteer activities improve health the most? No one really knows. Sneed speculates that mentally stimulating activities, like tutoring or reading, might be helpful for maintaining memory and thinking skills, while “activities that promote physical activity would be helpful with respect to cardiovascular health, but no studies have really explored this.”
One key for deriving health benefits from volunteering is to do it for the right reasons. A 2012 study in the journal Health Psychology found that participants who volunteered with some regularity lived longer, but only if their intentions were truly altruistic. In other words, they had to be volunteering to help others—not to make themselves feel better.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle once surmised that the essence of life is “To serve others and do good.” If recent research is any indication, serving others might also be the essence of good health.
