To study how this habit influences health, British researchers interviewed the creators of online photo magazines and discovered that daily photography improved their lives in several ways: it made them mindful of the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with people who share their interests.THE 16:8 DIET WORKSIn a small study, researchers at the University of Illinois asked 23 fat participants(参与者) to spend 12 weeks following a type of diet called the 16:8 diet. In the eight hours between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., they could eat as much as they wanted of any food. However, for the remaining 16 hours of the day, they were allowed to have only water and other calorie-free drinks. Compared with control group, the 16:8 dieters took in about 300 fewer calories a day, lost 3 percent of their weight, and saw a great drop in their blood pressure.10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE CAN IMPROVE MEMORYCant find your keys? Go for a quick walk or do a few yoga(瑜伽) poses. In a recent study, 36 healthy young adults who had just exercised for ten minutes showed improved connectivity(连通性) between the parts of the brain for new memories and the parts for detailed memory processing. The participants also improved their performance on a memory test. The researchers now plan studies in older adults to find out whether regular light exercise improves their memory as well.（1）Which may help lower blood pressure according to the passage? A .

For example, Chinatown in San Francisco, California, began in 1848. The Chinese immigrants(移民) came to America to look for gold in the 1850s. Then the area they lived in later became known as Chinatown.Chinatowns were also set up in cities in the western states like Oregon (俄勒冈州) and Washington D. C. during the 19th century. Many Chinese immigrants in these areas helped build the first railroad system across the United States. However, after the work ended, many Chinese moved to the eastern and middle parts of the United States.Chinatowns can also be found in cities outside the United States. For example, the first Chinese immigrants arrived in London in the late 18th century. They were men who worked for the East India Company. Later, the Chinese immigrants opened small shops and restaurants there.Today, many people visit Chinatowns. They have special Chinese gates and walking areas for visitors.
