2、听力原文和解析翻译：

One 60-minute run can add 7 hours to your life.
This was a claim made by The Times last week.
The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running.
The review concluded that on average runners live 3 years longer than non-runners, and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise.
But there's more to running than its health benefits.
Research published in recent years has shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways, from increasing your brain function to regulating your emotions.
However, the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short, fast running or long-distance running.
For example, in one study, researchers compared participants' ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running and after 40 minutes of gentle running.
Participants were able to learn 20% faster after the intense running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week later.
In another study, researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then showed them clips from a sad movie.
Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips, just as you'd expect.
But crucially, this was less so if they had completed the 30 minutes jog.
The researchers said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question 19: What did the new review of studies claim?
Question 20: What is one effect that running has on people according to recent research?
Question 21: What did another study find about the participants after they had a 30-minute jog?
一次 60分钟的跑步可以增加7小时的寿命。
这是《泰晤士报》上周发表的一个论断。
这一论断是基于一项关于跑步影响的研究的新综述。
该研究综述总结说，跑步者的平均寿命比非跑步者的寿命长了年，跑步比其他任何形式的运动都更能延长寿命。
但跑步的好处不止体现在健康方面。
近年来发表的研究表明，跑步会以一些神奇的方式改变人的大脑和思维，从增强大脑功能到调节情绪。
然而，确切的效果因你参加的是短线快跑还是长跑而异。
例如，在一项研究中，研究人员比较了参与者在进行了几分钟高强度跑步和40分钟慢跑后学习新单词的能力。
在进行高强度的跑步后，参与者的学习速度提高了20%，一周后再次接受测试时，他们表现出了更好的记忆力。
在另一项研究中，研究人员要求志愿者慢跑30分钟，然后给他们看一部悲情电影的片段。
正如你所预料的那样，那些通常难以处理负面情绪的参与者受到悲情电影片段的影响更大。
但至关重要的是，如果他们完成了30分钟的慢跑，所受影响就不会那么明显。
研究人员表示，适度的锻炼似乎有助于这些参与者不那么容易受到悲情电影的影响。
请根据你刚刚听到的文章回答问题19到问题21。
问题19：新的研究综述说了什么内容？
问题20：根据最近的研究，跑步对人们的影响之一是什么？
问题21：当参与者在慢跑30分钟后，另一项研究发现了什么？
