16、short, fat and bald when I started running, and Im still short, fat and baldWeight control is difficult for meI fight the losing battle”The difficulty, DrBlair says, is that its much easier to eat 1,000 calories than to burn off 1,000 calories with exerciseAs he relates, “An old football coach used

21、ntly because their brains were actively absorbing what theyd learned as they sleptThe finding shows that sleep is not just a passive state when no information is coming in, said Howard Nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of ChicagoFor the study, the researchers recruited 200 college

22、 studentsMost of them werent very familiar with playing video gamesSome of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while others learned in the eveningThe researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours laterThose who took part in the morning

24、 at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned, Nusbaum saidBut if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you learned The students who took part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after being trainedThe role that drea

25、ms play in the learning processif anyisnt clearBut some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, Nusbaum saidIf you play a video game a lot, and youre playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learnJerry Siegel, professor at the Center for Sleep Research at the University of C

26、alfornia, Los Angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but hes not convinced that sleep itself actively contributes to learningIf you take a break for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a new learning session than it

27、 was at the end of the initial session, he saidNo sleep needs to occur for this to happen Still, Siegel suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucialFor long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the learning than afterwards, he s

31、long-standing assumption that the more a person knows about science, the more he or she tends to support scientific effortsIn fact, studies that have tested the link between a persons level of scientific knowledge and attitudes towards the field have generated mixed resultsIts been a very hard quest

32、ion, says sociologist Nick Allum of the University of Surrey in Guildford, UKTo resolve the issue, Allum and his colleagues pulled together the results of nearly 200 surveys carried out between 1998 and 2003 in countries from Australia to BulgariaThese studies assessed, for example, whether particip

33、ants knew certain scientific facts and whether they supported developments in genetically modified food or nanotechnologyTo some extent, the results prove the belief widely held by science supporters: the more people know about science, the more favourably they tend to view it, in spite of other fac

34、tors such as age, nationality and level of educationAllum presented his results at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC last weekBut now this question is cleared up, researchers must begin to deal with more pressing questions, Allum saysThe argument

35、 should move onHis finding cannot, for example, show whether better science education will increase general support for the fieldThis is because researchers have yet to figure out whether people who learn more about science then tend to like it or, on the contrary, whether people who already like an

36、d support science are simply tend to learn further factsAnd a persons level of scientific knowledge actually goes a very tiny way towards explaining their attitudes towards scienceAllum believes that there are probably far more important factors, such as their moral values, religious beliefs and pol

37、itical leaningAnd peoples trust in science may be influenced by how tightly regulated they believe the process to be in their countryThis might explain, in part, why those living in different countries tend to hold different attitudes: Europeans tend to be more doubtful of genetically modified crops

38、 than those in the United States, for exampleFinally, science lovers hope to strengthen support for the field, but it looks as if simple science education will not be enoughAs Allum says: Its all horribly complicated13In Allums opinion, _ will have little influence on a persons attitude towards scie
