Ever wonder why sometimes a hug is all you need ? You can’t explain it , but there’s just something comforting about being in your wife’s arms after a rough day or giving mom a hug after a long time apart .

A new study says the warm feeling in a hug is more than just skin deep . Researchers from the University of California , Berkeley believe that this loving feeling could have anti-aging benefits .

Oxytocin , sometimes referred to as the “ love hormone（荷爾蒙）” or the “ trust hormone , ” is responsible for those indescribable feelings we get when we’re bonding with a lover or a loved one .

Levels of the hormone drop as we age , and evidence suggests that could be a contributing factor to the deterioration of our bodies as we age . Muscle loss in particular is one of the major side effects of aging , with our bodies losing up to 5 percent of our muscle mass each decade past our 30s .

In the study , published in the journal Nature Communications , researchers injected oxytocin into older mice with muscle damage . The older mice had lower levels of the homeone than younger mice initially . But after nine days , the older mice who were given the hormone healed better than those who did not . In fact , their ability to repair muscle damage was up to 80 percent that of the younger mice .

The results were not only fast-acting , but provide hope for future uses of the hormone in a variety of anti-aging capacities . “ This is good because it demonstrates that extra oxytocin improves aged tissue stem cells（組織干細(xì)胞）without making muscle stem cells divide uncontrollably , ” study co-author Wendy Cousins said in a statement .

Previous uses of anti-aging molecules have also been associated with higher cancer risk , but researchers are hopeful that oxytocin can be useful in humans without this risk . In the future , researchers of Berkeley say oxytocin could be used to fight other age-related health issues by improving bone health and even being used as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy .

Now go out and give someone a hug .

1.According to the passage , oxytocin __________ .

A. decreases when people get older

B. creates loving feeling on the skin

C. leads to the great loss of muscles

D. can be used in humans without any risk

2.The underlined word “ deterioration ” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to the state of __________ .

A. getting fatter B. becoming worse or less

C. growing stronger D. dividing uncontrollably

3.What can be learned from the research ?

A. All the older mice healed faster in the research .

B. Older mice healed better than younger ones after 9 days .

C. Extra oxytocin in older mice controlled muscle cell division .

D. Mice with oxytocin injection improved the ability to repair muscle damage .

4. What can be a suitable title for the passage ?

A. When Do We Need A Hug ?

B. A New Anti-aging Product

C. Hugs Having Healing Power

D. How Can We Grow Muscles ?

A castle is a type of fortified（加固的）structure built in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. This is different from a palace, which is no fortified-though there are many similarities among these types of construction. Usage of the term has varied over time and has been applied to diverse structures.

The European castles originated in the 9th and 10th centuries, resulting in its land divided among nobles. These nobles built castles to control the area surrounding them, and they were both offensive and defensive structures. Although army uses are often emphasized in castle studies, the structures also served as centres of administration and symbols of power. Urban castles were used to control the local people and important travel routes, and rural castles were often built near farmland.

Many castles were originally built from earth and wood, but had their defences supplanted later by stone. In the late 12th and early 13th centuries, scientific approaches to castle defence appeared, and could function to maximize the castle’s firepower. These changes in defence came from a mixture of castle technology. Although gunpowder was introduced to be built well into the 16th century, improved cannon（大炮）fire made them uncomfortable places to live in. As a result, true castles went into decline.

From the 18th century onwards, there was a renewed interest in castles with the construction of mock（仿造的）castles, part of a romantic revival（復(fù)活）of Gothic architecture, but they had no defensive purpose.

1.According to the first paragraph, we can know .

A. the palace is a fortified structure

B. the castle is different from the palace

C. the palace changed over time

D. the structures of the castle in different ages look the same.

2.what does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Symbols of the European castles.

B. Functions of the European castles.

C. Influences of the European castles.

D. Characteristics of the European castles.

3.The underlined word “ supplanted ” in the third paragraph is closet in meaning to “ “.

A. produced B. saved C. protected D. replaced

4. What can be inferred from the river?

A. Castles have nothing in common with palaces.

B. Castles have a history of more than 1,000 years in Europe.

C. Castles were mainly used for defensive purposes after the 18th century.

D. The introduction of gunpowder instantly influenced castle building in Europe.
