根据所给材料的内容,给下面的画线处补写恰当的句子,要求内容贴切,语义连贯,逻辑严密,语句通顺,不得照抄材料,每句不超过20字。(5分)

名字说来就是一个符号,但中国人往往很重视,一般人家添丁增口,往往是由家里最有文化,最有威望的长者给下一代取名,以期待以后有个好前程。像男孩,总希望他以后显达,于是就有了像一品、达人、富贵这类的名字;像女孩,总希望她美丽灵秀,以后嫁个好人家,于是就有了像春桃、夏莲、秋菊、冬梅这类像花一样好听的名字,一叫,全村随处都会有呼应。也有看似很随意,实则是因为家中贫寒怕养不活,起个像狗剩、猪娃、虎子、石头、铁蛋之类的名字,这种名字命贱、命硬、好养活。

中国人起名字的初衷是____,给男孩取名希望他以后显达,给女孩取名____,取狗剩、石头、铁蛋这类很随意的名字,____。

答:①________________________________________________________________________

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.

Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.

With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.

Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.

Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction—using the head.

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. “Those with least possibility,” says Matsuzawa, “are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.”
