                  Excerpt:
                  
                     And, it can make your mood better. How does your mood change? When you exercise, your brain is at work too. As your body moves around, your brain starts to change. It begins to work in a different way. You start to feel happier. You feel calmer too.

                This selection says exercise does something to your brain. What is it?
                
            
          - Exercise changes how the brain works, which can put you in a better mood.
- Exercise makes the brain become confused, which can make it harder to do your homework.
- Exercise makes the brain become more awake, so you may have trouble sleeping.
