Although most people know that the exercise is good for the body, few realize the extent to which it is valuable to the mind. The blood circulates more rapidly after the physical exertion, thus allowing all of the body's organs to operate more efficiently. This increased activity enables brain to receive more oxygen, thereby creating a higher capacity for concentration.

The main point in the argument above is that

1. the greater the amount of oxygen brain receives, the better it functions.

2. Exercise is a mental as well as physical activity.

3. Exercise helps the brain more than it does the rest of the body.

4. people can greatly improve their powers of concentration by exercising more often.

5.exercise serves more than one purpose.

我选E吧 就算别的成立，E始终是对的

我也不确定，大家讨论

A certain drug, when taken by patients with high blood pressures, was found to lower the blood pressure to high-normal levels, or from an average of 30 percent to an average of 10 percent above normal. However a survey of patients with normal blood pressures found that almost 80 percent exercised atleast 5 days per week for 30 minutes and maintained a normal blood pressure.
Therefore, the drug is not as affective in reducing blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure as is exercise. The validity of the above conclusion depends on the truth of which of the following ?

A.None of the patients with high blood pressure exercise regularly.
B. No patient with high blood pressure successfully achieved below-normal levels with drug alone.
C. Patients with normal blood-pressure maintained healthy diets for the duration of the study.
D. Daily exercise has the same effect on the blood pressures in all patients.
E. The drug has little or no effects on patients with normal blood pressures.
