13．Life is to be enjoyed．There's no point in giving．up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better．When people eat more healthfully，exercise，and manage stress better，they find that they feel much better．The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right：
YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen，so you become smarter，think more clearly，have more energy，and need less sleep．Some studies show that just walking for three hours per week for only three months is so helpful that it actually increases the size of people's brains!
YOUR FACE receives more blood flow，so your skin wrinkles（皱纹） less．You look younger and more attractive．However，an unhealthy diet，stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly．
YOUR TELOMERES （染色体端粒） get longer．Telomeres control how long we live．If telomeres become shorter，cells age more quickly，thus shortening your life．
Besides，one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers'awareness of stress was very important．The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to describe how stressed they felt each day．The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed．On the contrary，some of the women who felt relaxed despite （尽管） raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres．In other words，if you feel stressed，you are stressed； if you feel fine，you are fine．
33．Which change will NOT happen to you when you exercise and eat right？C

B．Becoming cleverer．
C．Having shorter telomeres．

12．My Left Foot （1989）
Imagine being a prisoner of your own body，unable to make any movements except to move your left foot．The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy （大脑性麻痹） sufferer Christy Brown，can barely move his mouth to speak，but by controlling his left foot，he's able to express himself as an artist and poet．For his moving performance of Brown，Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor．
Shine （1996）
Do you have a talent you're afraid to share with the world？David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be"one of the truly great pianists，"but the pressures of performing （and pleasing his father） resulted in a complete breakdown．Ten years in a mental institution didn't weaken Helfgott's musical gift：When he was rediscovered，he was playing concertos in a bar．Shine received seven Oscar nominations （提名），and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott．
Life Is Beautiful （1997）
Nothing's more powerful than the love between a parent and a child．In this heartbreaking Italian film，a father （Roberto Benigni） makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son：trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945，the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game．He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war，and even in his final moments of life，keeps his son smiling and hopeful．Benigni won the best actor Oscar．
Stand and Deliver （1988）
Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher．Jaime Escalante （Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor） is a great one．Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail，Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things，like getting good grades in the AP exam．Despite the obstacles in their lives，the classmates accomplish their goals，thanks to Mr．Escalante's support．The real Jaime Escalante，the Best Teacher in America，says that Stand and Deliver is"90% truth，10% drama．"

7．Do you have a habit of writing things down？Making time to write down certain things，such as our daily experiences，our goals，and our thoughts can change the way we live our lives．Here are 4ways that tell you writing things down can change your life．
（1）It clears your mind for higher-level thinking．
You can clear your mind by writing things down in two different ways：writing to-do lists and writing morning pages．David Allen，the author of Getting Things Done suggests writing down every task，activity and project you need to pay attention to．Writing down every"to-do"item that you can think of clears space in your head for more important topics．You can also write"morning pages"，which was pioneered by Julia Cameron，author of The Artist's Way．Morning pages involves（牵涉）what's important in your mind．Through doing this first thing each morning，you clear your head in preparation for the day's most important thinking．
（2）It gives you a record of the past．
If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings，you'll soon have a record of your experiences．Keeping a diary is sometimes like talking a situation through with a friend．Reading back through this record also provides a valuable record about your past thought and feelings．You can recall some special moments or special events that you could have forgotten．Many people have dreams of writing a book．When you keep writing down things，you'll realize that you have written a book．
（3）You have a sense of achievement．
Writing things down can help you get a sense of achievement and can also raise your levels of self-trust．When you look back to see how successfully you've gone through and dealt with important decisions and difficult situations in the past，you'll have a sense of achievement and feel more confident in your ability to achieve your goals．Equally，if we write down everything we need to do in a special day or week，we have a sense of satisfaction （满足） when，having completed the task，we can cross the item off our list．
（4）It helps you think big．
Writing things down gives you space to think big and aim high．When we write things down，we enter a world of possibility and have a chance to make further plans．Writing our goals and dreams down makes it more likely that we'll achieve them one day．Writing down our goals is therefore the first step towards making them a reality．

66．Julia Cameron may most probably agree thatA．
A．writing down what's important every morning can clear your head
B．people must read morning pages in an artist way every morning
C．what David Allen said in his book is less helpful for clearing your head
