8、n admission for everyone.As a financial adviser, my clients come to me seeking help with growing their wealth. Perhaps the greatest lesson I share is that being rich isnt a dollar amount; it is a perception that includes happiness, peace of mind, comfort and security. Theres a big difference between
9、 being wealthy and feeling wealthy.Actually, one of the best ways I advise others in building their wealth is this: The secret to having more is giving more. Studies have shown that people who volunteer weekly exhibit an increase in happiness. Donating your time makes you grateful for all that you h

17、at the manuscripts were left in the library inside a pink gift bag, along with a note wishing the librarian a happy Easter.The notebooks, which include the 19th-century scientists famous 1837 “Tree of Life”sketch on evolution, went missing in 2001 after being removed for photographing, though at the
18、 time the staff believed they might have been misplaced. After the staff had searched the librarys collection of 10 million books, maps and manuscripts, but failed to find them, they were reported to police in October 2020 as stolen.Darwin filled the notebooks with ideas shortly after returning from
19、 his voyage around the world on the ship HMS Beagle, developing ideas that would bloom into his landmark work on evolution On the Origin of Species. The notebooks are estimated to be valued at millions of dollars.On March 9, 2022, the books reappeared, left in a public area of the library, outside t
20、he librarians office, which is not covered by security cameras. The universitys director of library services, Jessica Gardner, said her relief at the books reappearance was “profound and almost impossible to properly express.”“The notebooks can now retake their rightful place alongside the rest of t

25、ad end.When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.As Mathias describe
26、s, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed th
27、e gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex the part of the brain that is responsible for our body movements. The researchers conclude
28、d that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new v
29、ocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.But it is not only the motor component
30、itself that promotes learning. The meaning conveyed by the gesture also figures in. “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others dont necessarily bring it into the class and it could be used
31、more often and more effectively.”12What is the finding of Brian Mathias research?ATranslation helps vocabulary building.BMotor cortex interprets body language.CGestures facilitate vocabulary learning.DMemory improves with regular practice.13What does Leipzigs research tell us about language learning
32、?AAdults and children are equally efficient learners.BPictures have little influence on language learning.CPictures are found more helpful than videos for children.DBenefits of gestures are more evident in adults in the long run.14What do the underlined words “figures in” in the last paragraph mean?
