讀書消耗熱量 愛看童話的孩子 不易胖 ●閱讀能提高人們的思考力和邏輯性，尤其對孩子的語言能力大有幫助。而科學家的最新研究稱，讀書能幫助人們消耗熱量。如果孩子小時候喜歡讀童話書，那麼今後發胖的機率就會降低。這一研究刊登在英國「每日郵報」上。 美國北卡羅萊納州杜克兒童醫院研究人員讓31名9到13歲的肥胖孩子閱讀童話和兒童小說，並在這些讀物中加入一些關於健康生活方式和減肥指南的內容。結果發現，參與閱讀的孩子體脂肪(BMI)降低了近1%，而沒有堅持閱讀的孩子，體質指數則增加了0.5%。 研究人員薩拉‧阿姆斯特朗表示，讀書減肥近來受到許多人的關注。對孩子來說，童話最能吸引他們的興趣，使得他們在閱讀過程中消耗更多的熱量。同時，健康的童話故事能讓孩子積極成長，養成好的生活方式。而對成人來說，閱讀引人入勝的小說則能起到同樣的效果，這不僅能消耗熱量，而且會減少人們吃零食的欲望。 研究人員號召家長培養孩子的閱讀習慣，「這不僅可以幫助他們學習，而且能夠預防肥胖。」 嬰兒能辨別悲歡樂曲 此外，美國研究人員發現，嬰兒在5個月大時就能從一組音樂中辨別出歡快的樂曲；到9個月大時，他們就能「挑」出憂傷的樂曲。 據報導，美國楊百翰大學研究人員向一名5個月大的嬰兒展示一張沒有表情的面孔，同時播放悲傷的音樂。 當嬰兒注意力轉移，把目光從面孔上移開後，研究人員停止音樂，然後換一首樂曲。 研究發現，當貝多芬第九交響曲第四樂章「歡樂頌」響起時，嬰兒目光在面孔上停留的時間比其他樂曲長3秒至4秒，說明他（她）意識到了樂曲基調發生轉變。9個月大的嬰兒則能從一組樂曲中辨別出貝多芬第七交響曲的淒楚旋律。 研究報告作者、楊百翰大學心理學教授羅斯‧弗洛姆說，這一發現能幫助人們了解嬰兒在學會說話之前是如何認知世界的。他說，嬰兒最早理解的事情之一就是情感，對他們而言，旋律即信息。 這一研究成果將刊登在「嬰兒行為和發展」雜誌上。（新華網） 2008-10-26 Energy consumption reading fairy tales like to watch the fat child is not easy ● reading can improve people's thinking and logic, especially the language skills of children go a long way.
