I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: We've all heard about the power of positive thinking, but a recent study found that people who think they're getting fit actually get more positive benefits from activity, according to a Reuters Health article. The study examined hotel housekeepers over a period of four weeks. Some of the housekeepers were told that their work duties gave them enough activity to meet the Surgeon General's health guidelines . Another group of housekeepers were told nothing. After four weeks, the housekeepers who believed their work activity counted as exercise lost weight and body fat, and their blood pressure went down. The results of this study suggest that it's important to understand and believe in the positive benefits of your activity. So here are a few things to think about the next time you exercise: Just thirty minutes of quick walking each day can greatly reduce your risk of a heart attack. Even your housework -- like yard work and house cleaning -- can help you burn calories and increase your fitness levels. Weight bearing activity just a few times a week can build bone density and reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis . Three 10-minute workouts throughout the day are just as good to your health as one long workout. Moderate amounts of exercise have been linked to lower rates of heart disease, stroke and even cancer. Strength training can help make daily activities like carrying bags or laundry feel easier. Regular exercise will reduce stress, keep you in a good mood and improve the quality of your sleep. Question: Which of the following is NOT the suggested things to think about when you exercise? Options: A: Housework helps burn calories. B: Regular exercise leads to better sleep. C: Weight bearing activity does good to people.[:ZXXK] D: Walking a dog reduces the chance of a heart disease.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be done as quickly as possible. In the case of the seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life. First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and the provider's level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal injury and paralysis . Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim. First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victim's condition is known by the acronym ABC, which stands for: A---Airway: is it open and clear? B---Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing. C---Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding extremely? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems. Question: First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT _ . Options: A: saving a victim's life B: preventing a victim's condition from getting worse. C: relieving a victim from pain D: helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Researchers believe the mobile phone system makes young people less thoughtful and more likely to make mistakes elsewhere in life. Hitting a few keys and then seeing the desired word appear in full trains children to be fast but inaccurate when doing other things, according to Australian scientists. They warn that this could have _ throughout the country, especially as more than 9 out of 10 16-year-olds now own a mobile phone as well as 40 percent of primary schoolchildren. In a new study, Professor Michael Abramson, a researcher at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, analyzed the mobile phone use of children aged between 11 and 14 and their ability to carry out a number of computer tests. A quarter of the children made more than 15 voice calls a week and a quarter of them wrote more than 20 text messages a week. When researchers studied the way in which the children handled IQ-type tests they found that increased mobile phone use appears to change the way their brains work. Prof Abramson said, "The kids who used their phones a lot were faster on some of the tests, but were less accurate. "We suspect that using mobile phones a lot, particularly tools like predictive texts for SMS (Short Message Service), is training them to be fast but inaccurate. "Their brains are still developing, so if there are effects then potentially it could have effects in the future. "The use of mobile phones is changing the way children learn and pushing them to become more impulsive in the way they behave." Experts concerned about the possible impact of mobile phone radiation on developing brains have given a warning over children's use of them. But Prof Abramson says the amount of radiation given off when texting is a mere 0.03 percent of that given off during voice calls - suggesting radiation is not to blame for the brain effects. Instead, he thinks predictive texting could be doing the damage. The study was published in the journal Bioelectromagnetics and disagreed with previous studies which suggested that text... Question: Abramson probably agrees that _ . Options: A: voice calls produce less radiation than texting B: text messaging is bad for children's spelling C: mobile phone use encourages children's language skills D: children can be more accurate if they use mobiles a lot
