33、ou hadn' t bothered. The previous recommendation was for a 10-minute minimum, but for years ' the general direction of ressareen toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all. This doesn 51 just go for eerciseA either. Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while on

34、e daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to ero. If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity is worth it, the answeC almost always, is yes.It' s a little strangeA actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is bet

35、ter than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fied thresholds （檻）； what is good for the organism in large quantities is usu

36、ally good in smaller ones, too.The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute爭議）.It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommendA say, a 10-minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have eercised for 10 mi

This is a sensibl

42、uder than words.D. Anything is better than nothing.cWe lie to thin that the human mind is special. One sign of our superiority is self-awareness, which is generally seen as the pea of consciousness. Only a select group of species has passed the test of being able to recognise themselves in a mirror.

43、 Most, including elephants, apes and dolphins, are smart. But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror testa classic eperiment used to judge self-awareness in animals. What are we to mae of this?Admittedly the mirror test is a questionable way of probin

44、g （探究）the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal's lifestyle than to its brain sie. Self-awareness is liely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by t

45、his way of thining, it is nothing more than an accidental by-product of evolution a simulation （模擬） created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of compleity.The cleaner wrasse lives on coral reefs and provides a service by biting parasites寄 生蟲）off the scales of bigger fi

No AIs have passed the tests yet, but one got etremely close. We probably don't need to worry about robots tha

51、s will be able to understand our thoughts.D. Self-awareness is a big mystery of the mind.DFor me, Christmas was always complicated. As a child, it was joyful, yet a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengal

52、i （孟加拉） father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration.To five-year-old me, the idea that someone might not love Christmas was unbelievable. It was years before I realised that my father s own childhood had been a Santa-free one. I was vaguely aware of theBengali equivalent （等同物

53、） to Christmas. Every September or October, airmail parcels would arrive, and ambitious plans were hatched to acquire syrupy cottage-cheese dumplings. But for me this was an addition to 25 December not a substitution.Matters were further complicated by my father5 s job. After going to medical school

54、 in olata, he had got a posting as a junior doctor at a hospital in Glasgow, where he met my mother 9 a nurse. （She gave up wor after having children.） He often had to wor on Christmas Day, which would mae Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to wor with Da

55、d and see actual Santa visiting sic children on the wards.As the years went by, though, my father began to accept Christmas. He was promoted to consultant, so he didn't have to wor on the day. Everyone was joyful. Somehow, the more Dad engaged with Christmas, the more I dislied it. It was as if

56、happy atmosphere was one of the infectious diseases he specialised in I had caught a terminal case “ while he had gone on to mae a full recovery.Things probably became worse in adulthood by the fact that bad events had a habit of happening to me at Christmas losing a job, a breaup, a health emergenc

57、y. My symptoms worsened and I gave up on sending cards or putting up decorations.But then, one day everything changed. In October 2012, my father died. He had been in good health; nothing could have prepared us for such a loss. I have no memory of Christmas that year, ecept that it was the worst of

58、my life.During that period,one of the only things that ept me sane （理智的） was weely choir （唱詩班）practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir nows, Christmas is non-negotiable.So I dragged myself out on that freeing night. The lights were sparling; London had never looed so beautiful. I was totally lost in the music, so I started dancing, laughing and doing ja hands,
