3．If you're studying English or another foreign language，you might be thinking，"How is this going to help me in my life？ " It turns out，just studying and thinking in a foreign language has its own benefits（益處）！
In a 2012 study，Boaz Keysar，a professor at the University of Chicago in the US，led an experiment about the relationship（關(guān)系）between foreign languages and people's way of thinking.
In the experiment，people needed to make a choice：Take a guarantee（保證）of one pound or take a 50% chance of winning 2.50 pounds.When given this choice in their mother language，most people took the safe choice of getting one pound.But they would like to make the riskier（更冒險(xiǎn)的）choice when asked in a foreign language，according to The Guardian.Keysar said，"People just hate the possibility of losing，but they hate it less in a foreign language. "In another study，Keysar and his team did an experiment in which people were given some related（相關(guān)的）words like"dream"，"snooze（打盹）"，"bed"and"rest".Later，when asked in their mother language which words they remembered，people were more likely to mistakenly remember "sleep"，which was not on the list.But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a foreign language.Keysar said，"People have more careful thinking when using a foreign language. "
The evidence（證據(jù)）is clear：By learning a foreign language，you're not just learning a language you're gaining a new state of mind.

8．Have you heard about the plank（平板支撐）？Nowadays，（1）它越來(lái)越受年輕人歡迎。Why？Planks with simple steps can be done almost anywhere.And doing the plank needs only a little time and your muscles（肌肉）．（2）Doing planks can bring people something good.When trying standing on one leg，you can't stand up straight for more than a few seconds.Why？（3）Because your muscles aren't strong enough to keep your body balanced（平衡的）.Doing planks will help you get that balance.Planks are great for improving your body's metabolism（新陳代謝）by building up your muscle groups.Having strong muscles means you burn more calories（卡路里）when you're exercising or even when you're sleeping.Since you'll be burning more calories，you'll feel hungry a lot more often.（4）它是一個(gè)擁有健康習(xí)慣的好方法。And you will become much healthier.Doing planks is also important to mental（精神的）health.Just think about it：You are sitting in your chair，at home or at school，all day long；your muscles get tired，and your legs get heavy.（5）Plank exercises will relax your muscle groups.They may cause stress in the body.As a result，they may help to calm your brain and even can treat anxiety（焦慮）and worry.
