It was then that he started to study __42__ has become a long time examination of Einstein's brain. His goal was to __43__ some physical evidence of the scientist's genius.

Doctor Harvey, ___44__, did not tell Einstein's family that he __45__ the great man's brain. It was only later ___46__ the family learned of Doctor Harvey's work. They did not ___47__ the idea at first. After Doctor Harvey explained his idea to them, they agreed to __48__ him to study the brain. Doctor Harvey then asked __49__ scientists to help.

Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid? Back then,racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours,you weren't thinking fitness,you were thinking entertainment.But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused(未充分利用的)gym memberships,the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten.Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.

Although considered an excellent form of exercise,jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons.First,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise,but they also believe that it is simply too difficult.In other words,they don't think they'll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical result.Second, many view it as somewhat boring and too repetitive-not as something fun or enjoyable.

As a matter of fact,jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practise it.Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again,people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps.A single bounce,a double bounce,a skip,a knee-up,side swings,as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.

Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning.It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform in parallel(并行地)to each other.In short,jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment,time and space,yet leading to a much healthier life.
