What Happens When You Stop ExercisingHave you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped exercising? A new study on twins was published in the joural Medicine Science. The results of the study are dramatic.In the study, researchers looked at 10 pairs of twin men. Each set of twins was in their mid-30s. Each had been brought up in the same family. Since they were identical, they shared the same DNA. They had maintained the same level of physical activity for most of their lives But there was one difference. One twin of each set had cut on exercising in the past few years due to work or family pressure. On average, the less active twin exercised less than twice a week, while the active twin exercised at least twice a week. The research team put each twin through a set of medical tests to study their overall health.The results showed big differences. While the more active twins had lower body fat percentage, better endurance level, and normal sensitivity, the inactive twins had about seven more pounds of body fat, worse endurance, and signs of disease. Not only were their bodies different; their brains were different as well. The active twins had more gray matter (the information processing part of the brain), particularly in areas that control balance.The conclusion of the study is clear. Quitting your fitness routine can bring negative effects to your body and your brain as well. Considering the less active twins in the study had become couch potatoes(沉溺于看电视的人) only recently, these changes can sneak up on you a lot sooner than you'd think. So keep exercising! It is beneficial to your overall health!问题:The twins in the study differed in ____.

Who Is James Bond?The latest Bond film is an enormous box-office-(票房)hit. But who is James Bond?Where does he come from? Author Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, told us something about the origins of the world's most famous secret agent.In the first Bond novel, lan Fleming told us that James Bond was the son of a Scottish father and an Asian mother. But perhaps this was not really true. The title of the 19th Bond film, "The World Is Not Enough,"was based on the Latin motto of the Bond family, which is mentioned in one of the early novels. However, it now appears that the motto is not that of the Scottish Bonds, but that of a different Bond family, who came from England. So perhaps Bond is English, not Scottish.Bond went to Eton College, the same school as his creator Ian Fleming. This is a school where young people learn how to move in high society, like Bond does so well.After leaving school, Bond did not go to university. He joined the British Secret Service. He soon got promoted to the top. From then on he was 007, "licensed to kill", and so began a career which would take him to all the corners of the earth.In the early days, Bond's role was quite clear. He was working for the West. His main enemies were men from the KGB and other dangerous organizations. Since the end of the Cold War, the role of the Service has changed and Bond's job profile has changed with it. Now his main enemies are the big bosses of organized crime and international terrorism.Unlike the Cold War, organized crime is unlikely to come to an end. We can therefore be sure that James Bond, the best-known English fictional hero of the 20th century, has many more adventures ahead of him.问题:1. The new Bond film made much money for its producer.
