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 ageing unnecessarily soon. 2. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. 3. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. 4. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect(智能)and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties. ) 5. Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. 6. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age--using the head. 7. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. 8. Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain ceils need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain", he says, "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.\ The rear section of the brain controls functions like ______.

An international team of research scientists has created a new kind of rice that contains Vitamin A. The researchers used genetic engineering to create the new rice. Genetic engineering is the technology of changing the genes of living things. The researchers say the rice could help millions of people who do not get enough Vitamin A in the food they eat. The findings were published in Science magazine. Vitamin A is necessary for the body’s natural defense system against disease. Vitamin A is needed to help prevent skin and other tissues from drying out. It also produces a light-sensitive substance in the eyes. People who do not get enough Vitamin A cannot see well in the dark. They may develop a condition that dries the eyes. The condition can result in infections that lead to blindness. A lack of Vitamin A is a major cause of blindness among children. Health experts estimate that 124 million children around the world do not eat enough foods with Vitamin A. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil and in the yellow part of eggs. Vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes contain beta carotene, a substance that the body changes into Vitamin A. Public health campaigns to provide Vitamin A to those who need it have proved costly. And they are not always effective. That has led researchers to try to create foods with the vitamin. Rice is one of the most common crops grown worldwide. However, normal rice lacks Vitamin A. Researchers at a laboratory in Switzerland found a way to change the genetic material of rice. They added three genes to the rice. The genes produce beta carotene, the chemical that our bodies change into Vitamin A. The new rice has a golden yellow color. The researchers say 200 grams of the rice have enough beta carotene to provide the necessary amount of Vitamin A. Biologist Mary Lou Guerinot of Dartmouth College wrote a commentary published with the report in science magazine. She said the rice is an excellent example of the good things that can be done with genetic engineering. However, critics of genetic engineering argue that changing plant genes could increase risks to human health or the environment. According to the passage, genetic engineering is a new way to help people keep healthy.
某城市进行城市道路改造，拟新建一条长10km的城市一级道路，承包商为了保证工程按期按质完成，在施工前首先编制了施工组织设计，在编制路基工程施工组织设计时，除了与总体施工组织设计内容基本相同外，还根据路基工程施工的自身特点，在确定施工方案和进度计划时，重点考虑了以下情况： (1)施工进度计划； (2)布置好堆料点、运料线、行车路； (3)钻爆作业没计； (4)弃碴场设计； (5)工地施工组织； (6)生产要素配置； (7)施工方法和土石方调配方案。 问题：1．在确定路基工程施工方案和进度计划时考虑的情况中，哪些项不是确定路基工程施工方案和进度计划时应重点考虑的2．项目总体施工组织设计的编制方法和步骤有哪些3．路面工程施工组织设计编制时，要根据路面工程施工的自身特点充分考虑哪些因素
