At the end of a race，you'll often see runners reaching for bananas. Although people who only exercise at weekends might be more likely to reach for a sports drink，serious athletes know there are better choices. And a new study from Appalachian State University offers proof that bananas may be a better choice than sports drinks after exercise.

Researchers analyzed the blood of 20 competitive cyclists after they were given water and bananas，water only，or a 6 percent sugar drink (a sports drink) every 15 minutes during a 47一mile bike ride. The study found that the carbohydrates(碳水化合物）in bananas work as well as sports drinks to fuel athletes and help them recover. But the researchers found an additional benefit. Bananas also provide greater anti—inflammatory(W) benefits than sports drinks.

“Consuming bananas with water during exercise has several advantages for athletes above those linked to regular sports drinks，” Dr. David Nieman said in a statement. “Banana metab- olites(代谢物)that increase in the blood have a similar effect to aspirin that inhibits (抑制） COX—2 activity. This makes bananas close to the perfect athletic food.”

“Although aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs (AIDs) help athletes with post exercise pain，they are often discouraged because they can cause cell damage，” Nieman tells Men's Health. “For this reason，we tell athletes not to take them，”he says. “To our pleasant surprise, we found something natural in bananas is working like these painkillers I)ul without the

risks. ”

Sports drinks are still a choice，but Nieman and his team believe banains offer more.

“There，s no question that sports drinks work，” he explains. “But bananas also have other nutrients—vitamin C，B6 and these unique metabolites — that you don't get with a sp0rts drink. ” Next up, the research team is looking at other fruits as exercise companions. “We're starting to look at blueberries，because we think with bananas they might work even better,” Nieman says.

32. What is the aim of the study described in paragraph 2? A.To test for the effects of bananas. B. To the best way to recover.

D. To find out if sports drink are anti-inflammatory. 33.Why are bananas

A word that is repeated constantly on popular stickers(帖子）on online social platforms in China is “baobao” in Chinese，which means “baby” in English.

Some use them for fun, while some a- dults claim to use “baobao” to reduce their mental age, providing them a chance to recall their childhood. For those who tend to use such stickers to show their youth and cuteness, 39 The combination noun of “kid” and “adult” first appeared in the 1960s，describing an adult with childish tastes.
