We always celebrated Dad’s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even

after he entered a nursing home. When we knew it might be his last

birthday, the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday

celebration at the nursing home.

Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners.

During a quiet moment, I announced it was now Dad’s turn to listen

to stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved

about him. The room became quiet. Then one after another, people

told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes.

Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little

grandchildren couldn’t wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a

man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life,

here was our chance to tell him how much we love him. A few

months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we more fully realized what

we had given to Dad that night. Those are the stories people normally

tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the

words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those

memories to Dad in his life, and we had told them through

laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and

enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and

months.

Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them

or to speak them publicly the ones we love. That’s the ways to give

back love and that’s our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.

A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动) may help

students do better in their classes. The research comes because

educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E.

class.

Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were

from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa.

The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more

than 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.

Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a

relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as

math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations

(解释):

“ There are, first, physiological (生理的) explanations, like more

blood flow, and so more oxygen (氧气) to the brain. Being physically

active means there are more hormones（ 荷尔蒙） produced like

endorphins ( 脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lower

and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in

class. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules and

how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and

help them know what they should do.

All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more

likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider

the finding before they cut physical education programs.

64. What led the researchers to do the studies?

A. Schools’cutting physical activity.

B. Their interest in physical activity.

C. The tests including about 55,000 children.

D. Kids’unsatisfying schooling performance.

66. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical

activity according to the passage?
