In love? You have a built-in brain-booster sitting right across the breakfast table. Here's how to make the most of it for extra smarts: 恋爱了？那么坐在餐桌对面的那个TA，就为你装了一台内置的智力推动器。下面就来看看怎样通过恋爱让你更聪明： 1. Marry someone similar to you, if a bit smarter 找一个和你一样聪明、甚至更聪明的人结婚 A Seattle Longitudinal Study found that the most stable relationships were those in which people were similar in intelligence, flexibility of attitudes, social responsibility, and education levels. Researchers also found that after 14 years together, spouses with the better grasp of verbal meanings and word fluency had pulled the lower-functioning spouses up to their level. 一项西雅图纵向研究发现，那些在智力、态度灵活性、社会责任感以及教育水平方面相似的夫妻，关系最稳定。研究人员还发现，共同生活14年后，夫妻双方中对语义和语言流畅性掌握得更好的一方，会将另一方的能力也提升到和自己相同的水平。 2. Hold hands whenever possible 只要可能，牵住爱人的手 In addition to creating feelings of warmth and closeness, holding hands can help inoculate you from stress. One study using brain scans found that when married women were told they were about to receive an electric shock, just holding their husbands' hands minimized their brains' response to the threat. Women in the closest relationships experienced the greatest decrease in stress-related brain activity. |
