It is a known fact that physical activity improves overall health.

Not only does it improve circulation, increase blood flow to the brain,

and raise endorphin levels, which both help to reduce stress, improve 【M1】_________

mood and attitude, and calm children, physical activity may also help

students achieve more academically. Physically fit students are more 【M2】_________

likely to miss school, partake in risky behaviors, get pregnant, or

attempt suicide, which all associated with better outcomes in school. 【M3】_________

Many studies have demonstrated the positive effects of physical

education and physical activity on school performance. Several studies

have stated that providing increased time to physical activity can lead to 【M4】_________

better concentration, reduced disruptive behavior and higher test scores

in reading, math and writing.

One specific study that addressed this issue was done by Sallis et al.

when they implemented a program called Project SPARK in which it 【M5】_________

provides physical activity during class by containing health-fitness 【M6】_________

activities like jumping rope and aerobic dance so well as sport-fitness 【M7】_________

activities like soccer and Frisbee games and focuses on training teachers

to implement the curriculum. The program also promotes physical

activity outside of school and rewards children in engaging in physical 【M8】_________

activity with their families. Results of the study show that when teachers

were trained to use Project SPARK there were significant differences

between the experimental and control groups in language, reading, and

other basic skills. This study shows that organize physical activity can 【M9】_________

impact student performance even though in short-term experiments. 【M10】________

The American medical school is now well along in the second

century of its history. It began, but for many years continued to exist, as 【M1】_________

a supplement for the apprenticeship system still in vogue during the 17th 【M2】_________

and 18th centuries. The likely youth of this period, destined to a medical 【M3】_________

career, was at an early age indentured to some reputable practitioner,

whom his service was successively menial, pharmaceutical, and 【M4】_________

professional; he ran his master’s errands, washed the bottles, mixed the

drugs, spread the plasters, and finally, while the stipulated term drew 【M5】________

toward its close, actually took a part in the daily practice of his 【M6】_________

preceptor—bleeding his patients, pulling their teeth, and obeying a

hurried summons in the night. The quality of the training varied within

large limits with the capacity and conscientiousness of the master.

Ambitious spirits sought, therefore, a more assured and inspired 【M7】_________

discipline. Beginning early in the 18th century, having served their time

at home, they resorted in rapidly increasing numbers in the hospitals and 【M8】_________

lecture halls of Leyden, Paris, London, and Edinburgh. The difficulty

of the undertaking proved admirably selective; for the students who

crossed the Atlantic gave a good account of themselves. Return to their 【M9】_________

native land, they sought opportunities to share with their less fortunate

or less adventurous fellows the rich experience gained as they “walked

the hospitals” of the old world. The voices of the great masters of that

day thus reechoed in the recent western wilderness. High scientific and

professional ideals impelled the youthful enthusiasts, who bore their

lighting torches safely back across the waters. 【M10】_________

Education gives us the knowledge of the world around us. It

develops with us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us form 【M1】_________

opinions and have points of view on things in life. People debate over

the subject of whether education is the only thing which gives 【M2】_________

knowledge. Some say education is the process of gaining information

about the surrounding world while knowledge is something very

different. They are partly right. And then again, information cannot be 【M3】_________

converted into knowledge without the catalyst called education.

Education makes us capable of interpreting things right. Education is not

just about lessons in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life.

The words “cultivate” and “civilize” are antonymous with 【M4】_________

“educate”. That says it all! Education is important as it teaches us the

right behavior and good manners, thus makes us civilized. It teaches us 【M5】_________

about how to lead a meaningful life. Education is the basis of culture and 【M6】_________

civility. It is instrumental in the development of our values and virtues. 【M7】_________

Education cultivates us into mature individuals, individuals capable of

planning for the future and taking the right decisions in life. Education

gives us an insight into living and teaches us to learn from experience.

The future of the nation is safe in the hands of educated individuals. 【M8】_________

Education is important for the economical growth of a nation. It fosters 【M9】_________

principles of equality and socialism. Education forms a support system

for talents excel in life. It is the backbone of society. 【M10】________
