21.(6分)It is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?

For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon searched for waters with magical powers in the early 1500s. But what he found instead is the American state of Florida.

Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. Cai Dongsheng, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, found that hypothalamus stem cells influence how fast aging takes place in the body as well. He also reported that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body.

“So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.”

Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) or energize the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting (注射) the animals with stem cells. Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength of the animals’ muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive (认知) ability of the mice.

The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.

These findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of health issues concerning aging problems. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? This is the question Cai and his team are thinking about. 1、What did Juan Ponce de Leon find? A.The American state of Florida. B.Magical powers. C.A Fountain of youth.

D.A way to stop the aging process.

2、What do we know about the hypothalamus? A.It is located in the eyes.

B.It starts aging due to the increase of its stem cells. C.It plays a key role in controlling the aging process. D.It functions well when the body starts aging. 3、What did the researchers do during the experiment? A.They strengthened the muscles of the mice.

B.They examined tissues and tested the behaviour of mice. C.They injected the stem cells into the younger mice.

D.They changed the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. 4、What would the researchers probably do next? A.Inject stem cells of mice into humans. B.Research on the cognitive psychology. C.Help the mice live longer.

D.See if anti-aging effects also work in human beings.
