Rohina Malik，a Chicago—based playwright，actress and solo performance artist，will take the stage in her one-woman play unveiledly(不带面纱地)on May 29 at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh．

Born and raised in London，England，but of South Asian heritage，Malik is a fearless woman of talent．Her play，Unveiled，exposes racism，hate，crime，love，Islam(伊斯兰教)，culture，language and life in one“amazing show，”said Jennifer Considine，professor of communication at UW Oshkosh．

Unveiled had its premiere in May 2009，and it received immediate attention．“I write plays because it’s my way of solving problems，”Malik said．“Art，in its many forms，has the power to solve world problems．That’s why，I believe we should do everything we can to nurture and protect it．”

Considine said she once saw Malik perform in Los Angeles and was deeply impressed．“You laugh and two minutes later you’re crying．She’s very talented，”Considine said．

She said Malik wants people to understand the experience of wearing the veil．“She wrote it following 9—11，as I remember her describing it—she was watching some of the media reports of women wearing the veil，and I think her experiences，and people she knows，were much more complex than what was being described in the media．”she said．

Considine said that the dislike of or prejudice against Islams，is very common in society，and it’s driven by a lack of understanding．“Her play will open students’eyes to seeing the wearing of the veil in a different way—and to maybe understanding that experience a bit differently，”Considine said．

She hopes to expose students to a variety of cultural experiences．“The goal of the play is to educate students about the wide variety of religious and non—religious traditions on our campus and in our community，”Considine said． 28．What can we learn about Malik? A．She was born in Chicago． C．She never wears the veil． A．Successful market． C．World fame．

B．She is very gifted． D．She is a university student． B．Well—received show．

D．First—time performance．

29．What does the underlined word premiere in Para 3 mean? 30．What did Considine think of the play Unveiled? A．It’s very striking． C．It’s very complex． A．How to wear the veil．

B．It’s heart-breaking． D．It’s very amusing．

B．The prejudice against Islams． D．Education on the campus culture．

D

There’s more evidence that what’s good for your heart is good for your head．A new study shows that people who run，swim or do other moderate intensity(中等强度的)exercise have brains that look，on average，10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes．

“Our study showed that for older people，getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective，helping them keep their brains work better，”said Dr．Clinton Wright of the University．Of Miami，who

31．What does Considine expect the students to learn? C．Various cultural experiences．

led the study．But it’s not necessarily easy．Walking，golf，bowling and yoga didn’t count，and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss，Wright’s team reported in the journal Neurology．

The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low-intensity group．These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study．They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks．Five years later，they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI．Seven years after that，they took the memory and thinking tests again．The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests．These included running，climbing，swimming，riding bicycles and so on．

“We found that those with moderate heavy activity had higher scores and slower decline than inactive patients when comparing the results，”the study team wrote．

Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer’s but may delay it．The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising，eating healthier food and brain training can promote people’s memory function．

32．According to the study，moderate heavy exercise________. A．makes people’s heart better than their heads B．helps people keep a younger brain C．makes people ten years younger D．makes people look like potatoes 33．What’s true about the study?

A．Most people surveyed took low-intensity exercise． B．Only 900 people took part in the bigger study． C．High-intensity exercise is better． D．Ten people scored best on the test．

34．How did the study team come to the conclusion? A．By observing people exercise． C．By making a comparison．

35．What’s the best title for this passage?

A．How to keep healthy B．Ways to make your brain work better C．To exercise or not

D．Moderate exercise keeps your brain younger
