每日一练16
Where do you go when you want to learn something? School? A friend? A tutor? These are all 1 places of learning. But it may well be that the learning you really want 2 somewhere else instead. I had the 3 of seeing this first hand on a 4 .
My daughter plays on a recreational soccer team. They did 5 this season and so entered a tournament, which normally was only for more skilled club teams. This led to some 6 experiences on Saturday as they played against teams better trained. Through the first two games, her 7 did not get one serious shot on goal.
However, it seemed that something clicked with(使合拍) the 8 between Saturday and Sunday. When they 9 for their Sunday game, they were 10 different. They had begun to integrate (融合) the kinds of play and teamwork they had seen the day before into their 11 . They played aggressively and even scored a goal.
It 12 me that playing against the other team was a great 13 moment for all the girls on the team. I think it is a general principle. 14 is the best teacher. The lessons they learned may not be 15 what they would have gotten in school, but are certainly more personal and meaningful, because they had to work them out on their own.

According to a review of 16 (evident) in a medical journal, runners live three years longer 17 non-runners, You don’t have to run fast or for long to see the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of dying early by 18 (run).
While running 19 (regular) can’t make you live forever，the review says it is more effective at lengthening life than walking, cycling 20 swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study 21 (publish) in 2014 which showed a mere five to ten minute a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all causes.
The best exercise is one 22 you enjoy and will do. But otherwise...it’s probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to 23 (strength) your leg muscles (肌肉), avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running 24 (be) cheap, easy and it’s always energetic. If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits 25 other sports, so perhaps we should all give it a try.
A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists(心理学家) have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way — that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.
Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort — the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world— is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it,” It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”
