40、stem(免疫系统) of people decades younger. Besides, many serious health problems could be prevented if people became more active rather than being sedentary(久坐), researchers insist. Janet Lord, leading researcher of the research, said: “Our findings disprove the assumption that ageing automatically makes

We now have strong evidence that encouraging people to do regular exercise throughout their lives can be a solution to the problem that we are living longer but not healthier.” She looked at 125 keen cyclists aged 55 to 79 who had been exercising regularly for 25 years and compared them
42、with 75 ordinary people of a similar age and 55 people aged 20 to 36. On a string of physical measures, the cyclists showed no difference from people much younger.

It may be intensive(密集的) exercise that helps-like going up and down the stairs ten times a day. You get a big benefit by simply doing something instead of sitting.” Whil

47、 probably agree with?A. Ageing automatically makes people increasingly weaker. B. People need a large amount of exercise to stay young. C. The intensity of exercise matters in slowing down ageing.
